13 13-1 Fiery WebSpooler This chapter describes the job management capabilities of Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery Spooler for Mac OS. Chapter 13: Managing Print Jobs Fiery WebSpooler Fiery WebSpooler provides a window on Printer Board and copier functions, and an interface from which you can control those functions. T O L AUNCH F IERY W EB S POOLER : 1. From the Printer Board home page, click WebSpooler. For instructions on how to access the Printer Board home page, see Chapter 11. 2.
13 13-2 Managing Print Jobs Job management features Unless a password has been defined in Printer Board Setup, you can log in to Fiery WebSpooler without entering a password, and you are given full privileges which include: • A view of current printing jobs and jobs stored on the Printer Board • Control of printing jobs and a view of the Job Log • Ability to clear the Job Log After the Administrator has performed Setup and specified the password, user options depend on your login level.
13 13-3 Managing Print Jobs When the Printer Board is receiving and processing print jobs, the Job List window is a dynamic display, filled with the names of jobs and their characteristics. Status bars animate in real time as new jobs are processed and printed, and jobs move to different display areas.
13 13-4 Managing Print Jobs The three areas of the Fiery WebSpooler window, Spooling, RIP, and Printing, each indicate a job printing stage. The Fiery WebSpooler window is divided into three areas as Spooling, RIP, and Printing status bars. The job first goes to Spooling, and then goes through RIP (when not a standby job) to Printing. Spooled Jobs Already spooled jobs that are displayed under the Spooling status bar are stored in the Printer Board hard disk.
13 13-5 Managing Print Jobs Menu bar The menu bar has four menus. When an action is not available in the current context, the command is dimmed.
13 13-6 Managing Print Jobs N OTE : In the Spool status bar, the filename and user information always appear as “Unknown” (as shown below). This information is not available until the job has finished spooling to the Printer Board disk. Active jobs and Held jobs You can hold a job at any stage of the process we have described, as illustrated below. In the figure, boxes indicate types of job icons you would see in the Job List window.
13 13-7 Managing Print Jobs Job icons There are three types of icons that are used for both active jobs and jobs on hold.
13 13-8 Managing Print Jobs Hold queue jobs When printing requires an operator (because the Print queue and Direct connection are disabled), the operator must assign a destination to all jobs received from users on the network (icon 1 in the table above). Once assigned, jobs (icons 2, 3, and 4) move down the Spool queue for processing. All jobs printed to the Hold queue require routing by an operator.
13 13-9 Managing Print Jobs Jobs held in the RIP area remain there until the operator deletes them. Printing these jobs does not remove them from the RIP area. Instead, a copy of the job is created and printed. N OTE : For all rasterized jobs, the print option settings, in addition to the current calibration state of the Printer Board, remain with the saved raster data each time the job is reprinted.
13 13-10 Managing Print Jobs Job commands Using the commands in the Job menu, you can alter the destinations, priorities and other characteristics of jobs that appear in the Fiery WebSpooler window. Job commands are used to assign a selected job to a new destination or process. These commands are available from the Job menu (see page 13-5). The job commands available at a given time depend on the context; unavailable commands are dimmed.
13 13-11 Managing Print Jobs Changing print settings for PostScript jobs When logged in as Administrator, you can use the Override Print Settings command to check and override the print option settings (properties) of PostScript jobs.
13 13-12 Managing Print Jobs If you want to retain a copy of the job with its original settings, duplicate the job and rename the duplicate before you change any settings (see “Job commands” on page 13-10). The Override Print Settings dialog box displays all the job settings encoded by the PostScript printer driver that can be decoded by the Printer Board. If you (as operator) have not changed anything, these are the settings a user entered before sending the job.
13 13-13 Managing Print Jobs Update Print Delete The Job Log displays each job and the following information: status, document name, user name, date, start time, end time, process time, file size, device, paper size, media, number of originals, total number of pages, Note1, and Note2. The Status column provides the following information about jobs: OK The job was printed normally. ERROR An error occurred during processing or printing. CANCEL The job was canceled before printing was completed. 4.
13 13-14 Managing Print Jobs Fiery Spooler for Mac OS For Mac OS computers, the Fiery Spooler interface and functionality differs from Fiery WebSpooler. On a Mac OS computer, Fiery Spooler jobs can be in one of the following queues: Print Normal print jobs sent to the Printer Board appear in the Print queue. You can move and manipulate these jobs as described below. Hold Jobs sent to the Hold queue remain in the queue until they are moved to the Print queue or deleted.

Try this: • In Printer Board Network Setup>Parallel Setup>Port Timeout, increase the time value. • In Printer Board Network Setup>Parallel Setup>Ignore EOF: If you are printing ASCII format PostScript only, set to No. If you are printing Binary format PostScript, set to Yes. • If you print using the DOS copy command, make sure to use the /b option when printing binary files.
C C-9 Duplex printing problems Duplex printing problems If this happens: Duplex pages print upside down. Try this: • Change the Orientation or the Rotate 180 print options. These options specify how the second image is placed relative to the first. A few applications may not process the PostScript command correctly, so when you select the opposite setting, the correct one is used. Problems with Fiery Downloader If this happens: Try this: You can’t make a connection using Fiery Downloader.
C C-10 Troubleshooting If this happens: Extra blank page prints after a Fiery Downloader job. Try this: • Turn off the ‘showpage’ after EPS files (Windows) or ‘showpage’ (Mac OS) option. This option adds a special PostScript command that will cause an extra blank page to print if it is not needed. Problems with WebTools If this happens: General problems Try this: • Clear the cache (Netscape Communicator) or history (Microsoft Internet Explorer).
D D-1 Appendix D: Token Ring Network Option Token Ring Network Option Token Ring is an alternative network architecture to Ethernet architecture. Token Ring networks offer a high resistance to failure and are commonly used in large or hightraffic network installations. Token Ring networks operate by passing a network token around the electronic equivalent of a ring. The token is a data packet that circulates from one network node to another, controlling access to the network.
D D-2 Token Ring Network Option Connecting Token Ring hardware The service/support center that installs the Printer Board usually installs the Token Ring card at the same time and configures the Printer Board to enable printing. Turn off the Printer Board before connecting it to any network device. Do not attach cable to both Token Ring connectors.
D D-3 Token Ring Network Option IPX/SPX installations If your network uses IPX/SPX protocols with Token Ring, configure at least one printer, a Printer Board Print Server and a Printer Board Print Queue on the NetWare server as described in “Configuring a NetWare server for printing” on page 3-4. You can configure up to eight bindery servers and one NDS tree connection to the Printer Board. This total is the same whether the Printer Board is connected by Token Ring, by Ethernet, or by both.
