2-1 Levels of access and control
To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial ColorPASS
configuration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing
you will do. Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access you will
implement for your site. Administrators and operators must also understand how
ColorPASS system software is structured in order to configure and use the ColorPASS
system correctly.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the ColorPASS during Setup, you (as system administrator)
implement a particular level of control by enabling or not enabling print connections,
passwords, and access to Fiery WebTools. The level of control you implement can
range from strict to moderate to minimal—or none at all.
• Strictest control might be appropriate for a high-volume printing environment
where an administrator or operator controls the job flow and all printing; jobs sent
by users are spooled (stored) to the ColorPASS disk until the operator decides it is
time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and/or operator have access
to job management tools.

The term “job management tools” is used in this manual to refer to the
Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, and Fiery WebSpooler.
• Least control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the local
network can control all printing and ColorPASS functions. Although there may be
an administrator or operator charged with certain duties, all users have equal access
to the system and job management tools.
ColorPASS print connections
The ColorPASS supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and
Direct connection. These print connections can be enabled, or “published,” 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 the Direct
connection give remote users more direct access to the ColorPASS than the Hold
queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in
environments where stricter control is desired.
