PREPARING FOR FIERY X3ETY2 SETUP

Fiery X3eTY2 print connections
The Fiery X3eTY2 supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and Direct
connection. You enable or “publish,” these print connections to users on the network when
you configure Printer Setup. All published connections are constantly checked for the
presence of jobs. The Print queue and Direct connection give remote users more direct access
to the Fiery X3eTY2 than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the
Direct connection in environments where maximum control is required.
In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs
from the Print queue. The Printed queue allows you to reprint those jobs. In Setup, enable the
Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs to retain in the queue. To reprint
jobs in the Printed queue, use the job management tools (Command WorkStation).
NOTE: To use the utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection.
For information about publishing print connections, see Configure Help.
Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery X3eTY2 hard disk for printing at a later
time, or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to it cannot
proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management
tools.
Print queue
The Print queue is the standard Fiery X3eTY2 queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are
processed and printed in the order in which they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator
with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority over jobs
sent to the Print queue.
Direct connection
The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery X3eTY2, but only when the
Fiery X3eTY2 is Idle. If the Fiery X3eTY2 is busy, the job remains at the user workstation
until the Fiery X3eTY2 is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is
finished and before the next queued job is processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery X3eTY2 hard disk, and cannot
be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a
measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job
Log, for accounting purposes.
NOTE: To download fonts to the Fiery X3eTY2, you must publish the Direct connection.
