Setting up the Fiery X2
Fiery X2 printing connections
In Fiery X2 Printer Setup you decide how the Fiery X2 manages print jobs by deciding
which printing connections should be “published” to users over the network. The
Direct connection and Print queue are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. If
you don’t want users to print to a connection, don’t publish it.
The Fiery X2 publishes two types of connections: the Direct connection and queues.
At least one connection to the Fiery X2 must be published.
Direct connection
Jobs are transmitted to the Fiery X2 Direct connection only when the
Fiery X2 is ready to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the Fiery X2 is
ready, and are processed as soon as a prior job is finished, before the next queued job is
processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery X2 hard disk. The jobs
appear in Fiery WebSpooler displays of current jobs, but they cannot be selected for
reprinting, moving or deletion. Therefore the Direct connection provides a measure of
security for sensitive files. If you plan to download fonts to the Fiery X2 via the net-
work, you must publish the Direct connection.

You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. You can,
however, use the Direct connection for downloading fonts.
