Troubleshooting
Maintaining optimal system performance
The Fiery does not require maintenance. Beyond the routine requirements of servicing
and maintaining the copier/printer and replenishing consumables, you can improve
overall performance in the following ways:
• Reduce unnecessary Two-way communication.
If users notice that the server is frequently too busy to receive jobs, it may be because
several users are running utilities that are updated often. Large numbers of remote
users running Fiery Downloader or Fiery WebTools may have a significant effect on
Fiery performance.
• Schedule the printing workload by checking job ticket information before printing.
Print jobs with the same output and paper specifications together to minimize paper
changes. Also, print routine jobs while you prepare to print jobs with different
instructions or different media.
• Reduce unnecessary server connections at Command WorkStation. If you use a
second or third Fiery server on an occasional basis, performance will be improved if
you log off when you are not using it.
• Avoid printing with the server Disk full warning.
If you see this warning, delete jobs from the Active Jobs window or Archive panel
that are not likely to be needed. Avoid this condition by deleting old jobs on a
regular basis. The date associated with a job is the original date it was sent. As a last
resort, use the Clear Server or Clear commands.
