and administrators the tools to configure the Fiery ES for printing.
On the main Command WorkStation window, you can access:
•
Home: A high-level status overview of your connected Fiery servers and a snapshot of print production statistics.
•
Job Center: Displays the Servers list showing every Fiery ES that you are connected to. You can switch between
servers, and add or remove them from the list. Information is available about consumables on the printer and the
media loaded in each tray. Errors and alerts are also displayed.
You can view the status of jobs, preview processed jobs, and use tools for managing jobs in the print queues. You
can also search for jobs and access features from the customizable toolbar.
