System information

4
Type the IP address or printer name in the IP/Server Name field.
For printers that maintain multiple queues and treat each as a separate printer, enter a Queue Name to locate the
printer for selection.
5
Select the server family and printer model from the Model list.
The Port Number field is filled in by default (631).
6
Do one of the following:
• Click Search.
• Click Auto Discovery to search for available Fiery Servers on the network. Auto Discovery searches only the
Fiery Central Server with its local TCP/IP subnet.
Note: Auto Discovery will not find non-Fiery printers or generic PostScript printers on the network. You have
to manually add them to the printer group by using their IP address or printer name.
7
In the Available Printers list, select a printer and click the arrow button to move it to the Selected Printers list.
8
In the Edit/Configure Printer window, confirm that the Printer Name is correct and unique.
9
Click Paper Catalog Map to set up the Paper Catalog or tray selection for the printer you are editing and
configuring.
The Paper Catalog Map feature is available only if the Fiery Server or non-Fiery printer supports it.
10
Verify that the Installable Options pane lists the options installed on the printer, and then click OK.
You can specify optional and printer-specific options such as staplers, stackers, and booklet finishers for
individual printers in a printer group. The Fiery Central Manager incorporates these additional features into
printer group PPD files for printing.
Note: When you add a Fiery Server to a printer group, the configurable options are selected by default. You
manually install printer-specific options for non-Fiery printers.
11
Add and configure additional printers.
Move any other printers you want for that group, one by one, to the Selected Printers list, and then configure
them. You can also remove printers from the group.
12
Click Next when you have added and configured all of the printers you have selected for the printer group.
13
Set the default options for the printer group:
• Select the Load Balance option for balancing individual print jobs among the printers in the group. If you set
Load Balance to Preferred Printer, also select a printer from the printer group in the Preferred Printer
field.
• Set the Use Printer Type default, and specify whether black-and-white or color printers are used exclusively
for jobs sent to this group.
• Set one of the Cover Sheet/Merge Options.
• Set the Maximum Number of Printers.
• Select Reroute on Error to send the remaining portion of a job to the Fastest Single Engine when an error
occurs at the destination printer. If you do not select this option, jobs wait in the destination printer's Print
queue until the error is cleared.
