xvii ColorPASS job environments
ColorPASS job environments
The ColorPASS supports several levels of control of printing, job management, and
setup, and offers you the flexibility to choose the configuration that corresponds to the
requirements of your site. Your situation may correspond to one of the descriptions
outlined below, or you may prefer an intermediate level of control.
At one extreme, an administrator or operator in a high-volume printing environment
controls the entire job flow and all printing. Print jobs arriving from remote users are
spooled to the server disk and stored until the operator decides it is time to print them.
Additional functions (job overrides, prioritizing, font management) are reserved for the
administrator or operator.
At the other extreme, anyone on the local network can control all printing and server
functions; operator intervention is not necessary. Users can print from their
workstations to any of the published print connections. Anyone can use the Command
WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, or Fiery Spooler to control any print job.
The spectrum of control that an administrator can implement is described fully in the
Configuration Guide .
Permissions
Support for these job environments is achieved by a combination of ColorPASS Setup
options. By default, anyone can access Setup, but the administrator can limit access to
Setup by specifying an Administrator password for the ColorPASS (see the
Configuration Guide ).
Also by default, anyone can log in to the Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler,
or Fiery Spooler and control job flow, but an administrator can restrict access to these
functions by specifying an Operator password.
