are supported for non-VDP jobs in PostScript or PDF format submitted to Command
WorkStation through the Import function or printer driver. For jobs submitted through Hot
Folders, Impose cannot distinguish between VDP and non-VDP jobs, so Standard is the only
gangup repeat style supported for VDP and non-VDP jobs.
FIERY SEEQUENCE SUITE 35
APPE jobs in SeeQuence Impose
When you impose a job in SeeQuence Impose with APPE (Adobe PDF Print Engine)
selected in Job Properties, and then save the job, you cannot make any further imposition
changes to the imposed job. The default for saving APPE imposed jobs is as a flattened PDF,
which does not allow further changes.
If you are not satisfied with your imposition choices, start over with the original job.
NOTE: If you save a job in .dbp format, you can make further imposition changes, but the job
is RIPped as a PostScript job, not as an APPE job.

information, see the following section.
SCAN 44
Scanning from the digital press
Scan jobs are initiated at the digital press touch panel and stored in a mailbox on the EX700i
for remote retrieval or sent from the EX700i using e-mail, Internet Fax, FTP, or SMB. You
can retrieve scan jobs from a mailbox with WebTools Docs or the Remote Scan application.
The EX700i uses Scan Settings, or scan templates, to determine how to scan a document and
where to send it. Each scan template is listed in the Network Scanning area of the digital press
touch panel. To scan a document, you must use one of these scan templates. A number of
default scan templates are provided with the EX700i. You can modify a duplicated scan
template at the digital press touch panel, or create a new scan template with WebTools Scan
Settings.
Scanning workflows
Any user can initiate a scan at the digital press by selecting one of the default scan templates
listed in the Network Scanning area of the digital press touch panel. The scan can then be
retrieved from the “guest” mailbox with WebTools Docs or Remote Scan.. For more
information, see “Default scan settings” on page 45.
You can specify a different destination for a default, editable scan template on the Scan tab of
the Web Applications area of the digital press touch panel, and save it as a new scan template.
You can then select the new scan template from the list in the Network Scanning area of the
digital press touch panel. For more information, see “Modifying scan settings at the digital
press” on page 47.
With WebTools Scan Settings, the EX700i administrator can create a custom scan template
that other users cannot edit. The administrator can assign ownership of this new scan
template to an existing user. The administrator or the user who owns the template can define
the document settings and destinations for the template. It then appears in the list in the
Network Scanning area of the digital press touch panel.
The administrator sets up mailboxes for scan jobs in WebTools Configure Users and Groups.
The administrator belongs to the “admin” group. The “guest” and “operator” groups are also
default groups on the EX700i. A mailbox is set up by adding user names to a group with Fiery
Mailbox Privileges. The administrator can also add users from an LDAP address book.
Administrators can view and manage all Scan Settings templates, including deleting
templates, and changing the user name/mailbox for a specific Scan Settings template.
Administrators can also view all mailboxes in WebTools Docs and manage the scans sent to
mailboxes.
NOTE: To log on to WebTools Docs and Scan Settings as administrator, you must type the
user name
admin.
SCAN 45
Default scan settings
To initiate a scan from the digital press touch panel, you must choose a scan template. The
EX700i comes with several default scan settings templates that you can select at the digital
press touch panel.
Default, locked templates that cannot be changed are:
• 001 Fiery_BW: for black-and-white documents
• 002 Fiery_Color: for color documents
• 003 Fiery_ColorCal: for calibrating the EX700i
• 004 Fiery_Grayscale: for grayscale documents, such as black-and-white photographs
You can create a new template based on one of the default guest templates by renaming it and

Setting up WebTools
WebTools are accessed through the home page of the EX700i web site and do not require
special installation. However, WebTools do require initial Setup by the EX700i
administrator.
To enable network users to access and use WebTools, the administrator must set specific
options in Network Setup and Printer Setup. For information about these specific Setup
options, see Configuration and Setup.
The administrator must prepare each user computer to communicate with the EX700i over
the Internet or intranet.

Scan Settings
Scan Settings allows the EX700i administrator to set up scan templates. These scan templates
are accessible from the digital press touch panel, by pressing Network Scanning. The Network
Scanning digital press touch panel displays the default digital press scan templates, as well as
any that have been set up through WebTools Scan Settings.
The EX700i administrator can edit and delete scan templates, duplicate templates, export a
list of templates with their settings, and import a list of templates with their settings.
TO CREATE A SCAN TEMPLATE
1 On the WebTools Home page, click the Scan Settings tab.
2 Log on with Administrator privileges.
Only administrators can create scan templates. You must type admin in the User Name field
and type the Administrator password.
3 Click the New icon.
4 In the General Settings area, specify the following options for your scan template.
• Template name: Specify the name to display on the digital press touch panel and in the list
of Scan Settings.
Description: Type a description of your scan template, to allow users to identify the scan
•
template at the digital press touch panel.
Username: Specify the owner name of the scan template. When you log on to Scan
•
Settings, only those scan templates that match your user name are displayed.
This option can only be edited by an administrator. The administrator can specify any
EX700i user who has mailbox rights (including local EX700i users, LDAP users, and
members of LDAP groups with mailbox privileges).
5 Click the Browse button to display the available user names.
6 Select a user and click OK to return to the General Settings area.
7 Click Next to specify scan destinations.
8 In the Scan Destination area, select the destinations that you want and enter the required
information.
You can send a scan to a Fiery Mailbox, E-Mail, Network Shared Folder, or FTP server.
Fiery Mailbox allows you to send a scan file to a mailbox that you select in WebTools Scan
•
Settings. You must set up the mailbox first as a user of a group in WebTools Configure
Users and Groups with mailbox privileges. The default mailboxes are: admin, operator,
and guest.
•
E-mail allows you to send a scan file via e-mail. In Setup, the administrator determines the
maximum allowed size of the attachment. If the attachment exceeds this maximum size,
the EX700i sends the scan as a URL. For more information, see Configuration and Setup.
WEBTOOLS 56
• Network Shared Folder allows you to send a scan file to any network folder or computer on
the network using SMB. You must know the domain, the computer name (server name),
and the shared folder for the destination computer to send a file using SMB. You are
required to type a user name and password. If a password is required, but not entered, no
error message is displayed, and the scan file is not sent to the destination. It may be that a
password is not required. Ask your network administrator for the logon requirements for
any SMB connection on your network.
•
FTP allows you to send a scan file to an FTP site. If a Proxy Server was enabled by the
administrator in Setup, ask the administrator for the Proxy Address. You may be required
to type a user name and password. If the user name is displayed as blank, an anonymous
logon is allowed, and you do not have to type a password.
9 Click Verify Settings to check that the destinations are correctly configured.
10 Click Next to specify settings for Scan Output.
11 In the Document Settings and Scan Enhancements areas, choose settings from the menus for
each option.
12 Click Done.
The newly created scan template appears in the Scan Templates list.
13 To display the new scan templates on the digital press touch panel, click Update Templates in
the Network Scanning pane.
