Using presets
Presets are available from Job Properties. The job presets can be found in the Presets list with the names of saved presets, and options such as Save Preset, Manage Local Presets, Default, and Server Presets.
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 setting will be blank; no text appears in the Presets setting. All properties display the initial default settings. When a job preset is selected, all settings are updated to reflect the saved preset. If you change any print settings, the Presets list reverts to blank.
There are two types of job presets:
Local Presets are saved on the user’s local computer, and not shared with other users. Local Presets are available any time you access the Job Properties window. They remain on your local hard disk until you delete them.
Server Presets are saved on the Fiery server and shared with other users of the Fiery server.
When a server preset is selected for a Hot Folder, the job properties displayed in the Fiery Hot Folders Console shows the preset name and corresponding settings. For server presets, the Refresh button updates the display with the current settings on the Fiery server. You can also enable Hot Folders to update its display of a server preset’s settings automatically at a specific time interval. For more information, see Set Hot Folders preferences.
In Command WorkStation, if you are logged on to the Fiery server as the administrator, you can create, edit, rename, unpublish, publish, and delete a Server Preset. In Hot Folders, you can save a Local Preset in the Job Properties window only.
