COMMAND WORKSTATION, WINDOWS EDITION

Additional features

The following sections describe how to use the additional features of Command WorkStation that are not discussed in Command WorkStation Help.

Align Trays

The Align Trays feature allows you to adjust the placement of text and images on a page so they are correctly aligned on a sheet of paper. This ensures that both sides of a duplex sheet have exactly the same alignment.

You can also perform tray alignment from the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 Control Panel by choosing Tray Alignment from the Functions menu.

To perform tray alignment, you must log on to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 with Administrator privileges.

TO ALIGN TEXT AND IMAGES FOR PRINTING

1 In the Active Jobs window, select the connected Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 for which you want

to perform tray alignment.

If the Active Jobs window is hidden, choose Active Jobs from the Window menu to display it.

2 Choose Align Trays from the Server menu.

A dialog box containing the Tray Alignment options appears.

3 Choose the tray you want to align from the Tray menu.

4 Choose the paper size loaded in the tray from the Media menu.

COMMAND WORKSTATION, WINDOWS EDITION

NOTE: The alignment is speciﬁc to the combination of tray and paper size speciﬁed. If you

align a given tray with Letter paper, and then load Legal paper into that tray, the alignment is wrong. You must perform a new alignment for each combination of tray and paper size.

5 In the Print Alignment Page area, select the Print duplex option to print a duplex page, or

clear the option to print a simplex page.

6 Click Print.

7 After the Alignment Page is printed, follow the instructions on the page.

Fold the page exactly in half horizontally, unfold it, and then fold it in half vertically. When you unfold the sheet, observe that the fold lines cross three scales on three sides of the page. Determine which number on the scale each fold line crosses.

8 In the Enter alignment values area, type the value that appears where the fold crosses each

of the three scales, marked A, B, and C, for Side 1. If you choose to align for duplex printing, type the values for the three scales on Side 2 of the page, as well.

NOTE: If you type different values in A and C, the image rotates, leading to uneven areas on

printed output. If this occurs, type the same value in A and C.

9 After you type the alignment values, click Apply, and then click Check Alignment to print the

new alignment page.

10 To remove the alignments, select a tray and click Defaults in the Enter alignment values area.

11 Click Done.

Printing Groups

The Printing Groups feature allows you to restrict print access to the Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000. When you deﬁne a printing group and password, users must type the group name and password in order to print jobs to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 processes and prints batches of selected jobs in order of each job’s place in the queue. The Reorder Jobs feature allows you to control the processing or printing priority by reordering the job queue. When you promote jobs in the queue, these jobs take priority over the rest of the jobs on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

For example, you can reorder the queue to group jobs with similar print options, such as media or tray selections. When you select the jobs and apply the Print command, batches of jobs with similar options are printed together.
