Preset print settings

A preset is a collection of print settings in Job Properties that you can access at a later time.

Server Presets can be accessed from Job Properties, and they can be applied to workflows such as Fiery Hot Folders and Virtual Printers.

Job presets are listed in the Presets list in the Job Properties. You can select one of the job presets from the list, or create a new preset based upon the current options selected in the Job Properties window. If a job is not currently using a preset, then the preset field is blank; no text appears in the Presets field. All properties display the initial default settings. When you select a job preset, all settings are updated to reflect the saved preset. If you change any print settings, the Presets list reverts to blank.

There are three types of job presets:

  • Local Presets – Saved on the user's local computer.

    Local presets are available in the Presets list whenever you access the Fiery server. They remain on your local hard disk until you delete them.

  • Server Presets – Saved on the Fiery server and shared with other users of the Fiery server.

    When you apply a Server Preset to a job, the preset settings become part of the job, and remain with the job until you modify them.

    If the Server Preset has locked print settings, you can override the print settings in Job Properties after you select it for the job. When it is overridden, the Presets field becomes blank.

  • Default Server Presets – Installed factory presets on the Fiery server and shared with other users of the Fiery server.

Applying presets

Job presets can be applied using one of the following methods:

  • Import a job into Command WorkStation using File > Import Job or the Import toolbar icon in Job Center. You can select Use Server Preset and then select a preset from the list in the Import Files window.
  • Select a job in the Held, Printed or Archived list in Job Center and click the Properties toolbar icon. Select a Local Preset or Server Preset from the Presets list.
  • Right-click a job in the Held, Printed or Archived queue in Job Center, select Apply Workflow and then select a preset from the list.
  • Select or right-click a job in the Held, Printed or Archived list in Job Center. In the Job Summary pane, select a server preset from the Workflow list.

Editing a preset

You can use inline editing in the Job Summary pane as another way to edit the preset
