process jobs and send job data to the copier. To log in to the ColorPASS, enter
Administrator as the user name, and enter the password.

Configuring and monitoring the Windows NT functions from the ColorPASS
require the Advanced Controller Interface option. For more information, contact your
authorized service/support technician.
Running on the Windows NT Workstation is the following software unique to the
ColorPASS:
• Server—The Server is an independent software process that is started automatically
whenever Windows NT is booted. As the central element of ColorPASS system
software, the Server process controls the spooling, rasterizing, and printing of jobs,
as well as job accounting (the Job Log), and job storage and retrieval.
When the Server is not running, jobs cannot be received by the ColorPASS, job
processing cannot occur, job data cannot be transferred to the copier for printing,
and the Command WorkStation cannot connect to the ColorPASS. In the event
that you need to restart the Server process, right-click the FieryBar and choose
Restart Fiery.
• Command WorkStation—The Command WorkStation is the interface tool for the
Server. It provides a graphical means of viewing and controlling Server functions.
About Setup
Setup configures the ColorPASS to communicate with other devices and manage print
jobs. It is required the first time the ColorPASS is powered on after new system
software is loaded or after server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup using default
settings is adequate for getting the ColorPASS to reach Idle status, but not for full
functionality. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can
change Setup options accordingly.
Initial Setup must be performed at the ColorPASS Control Panel. Configure at least
Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that order. Afterwards, you can
complete or change most Setup options from a Windows computer using the
Command WorkStation.
