Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery Spooler
The Spool area is both the receiving area for jobs from users on the network (Hold
queue) and the waiting area for jobs that will be RIPped.
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). Once assigned, jobs move down the
Spool queue for processing (Icons 2, 3, and 4). All jobs printed to the Hold queue
require routing by an operator.
Print queue jobs
—When printing does not require an operator, network jobs sent to
the Print queue appear in the Spool area, where they are displayed with a white printer
icon (Icon 2). When jobs reach the head of the queue, they are RIPped and printed
without operator intervention.
Direct Connection
—Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not displayed in the
Command WorkStation job lists. They are displayed briefly in the status bars (where
they cannot be selected) and are included in the Job Log.
