Setting up an operator-controlled environment

This manual assumes you are working in an operator-controlled
environment with responsibility for managing job flow. To
establish an operator-controlled environment, you or the
administrator must complete the following tasks:

Set up password privileges

—The administrator must set up

separate passwords for operator access and administrator access
to the Fiery. For instructions on setting up passwords, see the

Configuration Guide

Chapter 7.

Publish the Hold queue only

—The administrator must enable only

the Hold queue, not the Direct connection or the Print queue, in
Setup. (For more information, see the

Configuration Guide

Chapter 3.) This ensures that all jobs sent by remote users are
spooled and held on the Fiery, in preparation for job management
by the operator.

Establish communication between users and the operator

—The

operator and remote users must agree on a method for
communicating print needs, such as Fiery FreeForm

masters.

Users can attach instructions to jobs using print option and notes
fields (see

page 1-5

).

Understanding job flow

In an operator-controlled printing environment, remote users
send jobs to the Hold queue of the Fiery. Using a job management
utility, the operator views the list of held jobs and decides when to
release each job for processing and printing.

The operator may also intervene during the workflow, stopping
jobs as they are processed or printed, placing jobs on hold for
future action, or overriding the user-defined print settings for a
job. In some cases, the operator may even modify a job,
duplicating or removing pages, or merging it with pages from
another job before releasing it for printing.
