The Spool, RIP, and Print areas of the Queues 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.

•

—Jobs listed below the Spool status bar area are PostScript files stored 

on the Fiery X4 disk. These jobs were sent to either the Print queue (white printer 
icons) or the Hold queue (yellow icons).

The term “PostScript” is used in this manual to refer to both PostScript and 

PDF data jobs. PDF is a structured form of PostScript that provides the ability to 
preview, scale, and reorder pages. Where applicable, the term “PDF” is specifically used 
to refer to PDF data or jobs.

•

—Jobs listed below the RIP status bar are ready to print. They have 

already 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 displayed on a 
yellow background.

•

—Jobs listed below the Print status bar have already been printed. 

Printed jobs can be stored on the Fiery X4 disk. The number of jobs that can be 
stored (from 1 to 99) is defined in Setup.

You can interact with jobs in the window by selecting them and choosing from Job 
menu commands or right-mouse menu commands, or by double-clicking them. 
(However, if passwords have been set and you log in as Guest, you can only view jobs; 
you cannot change or route them.) This chapter and the next explain the Command 
WorkStation interface in detail.

To start up the Command WorkStation application, click the Windows Start button 
and choose Command WorkStation from the Programs menu; or, if you have created a 
shortcut to the Command WorkStation application, double-click the Command 
WorkStation icon.

If the Command WorkStation was previously connected to a server, you are prompted 
to choose a Fiery X4 from the list of servers.

If the Command WorkStation has never been connected to a Fiery X4, you are 

prompted to configure an entry for the server. Click OK and see Getting Started for 
instructions on how to configure a new connection.

With the Fiery X4 device name (AR-C150) selected, click OK. If the device name is 
not displayed, click the plus sign (+) to expand the Fiery X4 entry.

The Command WorkStation connects to the server and you are prompted to choose a 
login level and enter a password to log in (see the next section). If you have any 
difficulties connecting to the server, see Appendix C for error messages and 
troubleshooting information.

When the Command WorkStation has connected to a server, the Log in/out slider 
appears, prompting you to select a login level and enter a password. Before you log in, 
the Administrator key is in the vertical position, and the Operator and Guest keys are 
in the flat (horizontal) position. When you click your login level, the corresponding 
key turns to the vertical position.

For Administrator or Operator access to the Fiery X4, click the corresponding key, 
enter the password, and click Log in or press Enter. For Guest access only, click the 
Guest key and then click Log in. No password is required for Guest access.

If you change your mind about logging in, or do not have the password you need, click 
Cancel.

When you have entered the appropriate password and logged in, the Log in/out slider 
retracts and the full Command WorkStation display appears. The color of the key in 
the lock indicates your login level. If the Fiery X4 is handling a large number of jobs, it 
may take a few moments to display the entire job list.

When you reopen the slider after you have logged in, the Log in button will have 
changed to the Log out button.

The three possible levels of access to Command WorkStation functions are 
Administrator, Operator, and Guest. To enable maximum password protection, 
Administrator and Operator passwords must be specified in Setup (see the 
Configuration Guide).

When both Administrator and Operator passwords have been specified, the access 
levels are as follows:

Administrator

Has full access to all Command WorkStation and Fiery X4 
Control Panel functions; Administrator password required

Operator

Has access to all Command WorkStation functions except Setup, 
clearing the server disk, clearing the Job Log, and font 
management; Operator password required 

Guest

Can view job status, but cannot make changes to jobs or Setup, 
and can view the Queues window only; no password required
