Tracking and managing jobs with Fiery Spooler
About the Fiery Spooler window
Similar to Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler allows you to view Fiery X3e and
copier/printer functions, and acts as an interface from which you can control those
functions.
The Fiery Spooler window is divided into three areas by Spool, RIP, and Print status
bars. When the Fiery X3e receives print jobs, the Fiery Spooler window becomes a
dynamic display, filled with the names of jobs and their characteristics.
The Spool, RIP, and Print areas of the Fiery Spooler window represent the stages of
printing a job. Jobs come in at the top level (Spool) and drop down to the Print level,
unless they are held along the way.
The job icons displayed in the Fiery Spooler window are explained on
The RAM status bar indicates the amount of memory in use. The Drive status bar
indicates the amount of hard disk drive space in use.

Spooled jobs

files stored on the Fiery X3e hard disk drive. These jobs were sent to either the Print
queue (white icons) or the Hold queue (yellow icons).
RIPped jobs
—Jobs listed in the area below the RIP status bar are ready to print. They
have been rasterized (RIPped, or processed for printing) and are waiting, in order, for
access to the printer. Rasterized jobs can also be held; held jobs are indicated by a
yellow icon.
Printed jobs
—Jobs listed in the area below the Print status bar have already been
printed. Printed jobs can be stored on the Fiery X3e hard disk drive. The number of
jobs you can store (from 1 to 99) is defined in Setup.
