From UNIX workstations, you can print directly to the Fiery EXP8000. Jobs printed to the
Fiery EXP8000 are sent to the Print or Hold queue. You can use Command WorkStation
to modify and monitor them.

If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from Command
WorkStation to print the job. Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.
For more information about using Command WorkStation, see Utilities .
The queue name and Fiery EXP8000 printer name are determined by your system
administrator. For the names of your queues, contact your system administrator.
For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.
