3-1 Levels of access and control
To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery EX2101
configuration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing
you 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
Fiery EX2101 system software is structured in order to configure and use the
Fiery EX2101 system correctly.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the Fiery EX2101 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 minimum to moderate to maximum—or none at all.
• Minimum control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the local
network can control all printing and Fiery EX2101 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.
• Maximum 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 Fiery EX2101 disk until the operator decides it is
time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and operator have access to
job management tools. We recommend this level of control.
Fiery EX2101 print connections
The Fiery EX2101 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 Direct connection
give remote users more direct access to the Fiery EX2101 than the Hold queue.
Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments
where maximum control is desired.
