System information
Overview
Command WorkStation
Command WorkStation is the print job management interface for Fiery Servers.
With Command WorkStation, you can connect to multiple Fiery Servers and then manage jobs from a single
location. The intuitive interface makes complex tasks simple for operators and administrators, regardless of the
number or types of jobs you process.
Job Center and Device Center are integrated features of Command WorkStation that include tools to search for jobs,
preview jobs, assign workflows, and manage digital and offset print jobs. You can use Command WorkStation tools
to do the following tasks:
•
Modify and merge jobs
•
View information about jobs and Fiery Servers
•
View, select, and modify custom print options
•
View and modify custom workflows
A number of optional features are available on Fiery Servers and all are documented in this Help system. However,
optional features only display in Command WorkStation if they are supported by the connected Fiery Server. For
example, if the connected Fiery Server supports only black and white printing you cannot print in color.
You can see the Fiery system version installed on your print controller in Device Center, on the General info tab (See
The Command WorkStation workspace on page 13).
For more information about Command WorkStation features, see Utilities, which is part of the user documentation
set.
Fiery Central
Fiery Central software integrates your production systems to make existing or new copiers/printers more scalable
and productive. It combines multiple Fiery Driven digital printers, and other select copiers/printers, into a
centralized print production system that you can access through Command WorkStation.
The Command WorkStation workspace
With the main window, you can access frequently used features. You can customize the display of the main window
by collapsing or expanding panes and queues.
The Command WorkStation main window includes the following areas:
•
Main menus - Access commands through these menus (see Commands for managing jobs in a queue on page
14).
•
Job Center - Use to view and manage jobs sent to the connected Fiery Server. Job Center includes the Printing
and Processing queues.
