The Fiery utilities enable remote users to view server functions. Users
may also have the ability to manage jobs remotely if the system
administrator has assigned them such privileges.
This chapter provides an introduction to the Fiery WebTools, providing
a description of the tools and the procedure for accessing them.
Fiery WebTools Overview
Fiery WebTools reside on the DocuColor 2006 and can be accessed
from Windows 95/98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS
client workstations with Internet browsers that support the Java
language.
The Fiery software has a home page that lets you view server
functions and manipulate jobs remotely.
Using the Fiery WebTools
Some of the functions, such as WebSpooler, may require a password if
the administrator has set Administrator and Operator password.
The Status, WebLink, and WebDownloader WebTools do not require
any special access privileges. As long as the administrator has
enabled Web Services in Setup and has provided users with the IP
address of the printer, anyone can use these WebTools.
