From UNIX workstations, you can print directly to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. Jobs
printed to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 are sent to the Print or Hold queue. You can use
Command WorkStation to modify and monitor them.

OTE
If you print to the Hold queue, jobs are spooled to disk and held. An operator must
intervene from Command WorkStation to print the job.
For more information about using Command WorkStation, see Utilities .
The queue name and Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 the documentation that
accompanies your UNIX system.
