Features The Spire CXP6000 color server provides the following: • Creating jobs in RTP format Using the Spire CXP6000 color server, RTP files can be created and stored on the Spire CXP6000 color server itself. This enables you to print RTP data at any time without further processing. • Powerful document printing capabilities In combination with the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press, the Spire CXP6000 color server enables complete printing and processing of documents, including the production of covers and pages on different paper stocks. • Enhanced job editing The Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to edit jobs, both pre- and post-RIP. Pre-RIP editing includes full Adobe Acrobat functionality including: deletion, extraction, rotating, adding, and cropping of pages. Post-RIP editing includes deleting job pages and merging pages from different jobs to a new job. This minimizes the need to re-RIP jobs. • RIP - Adobe Postscript Level III and Extreme Certified technologies The Spire CXP6000 color server uses the industry-standard Adobe RIP, with enhancements for Continuous Tone and Linework. Data are processed separately as Continuous Tone and Vector Data layers for increased efficiency and merged during printing. • Ready-to-Print job preview and editing The Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to preview RTP jobs up to pixel levels to see all job details and to verify job quality and content post-RIP. It is also possible to view a thumbnail list of job pages, or the actual raster pages. • Job management The Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to monitor job progress during all stages of printing. Among other functions, you can promote, demote, delete, monitor the import process, and estimate when a job will be fully imported. You can also abort jobs during RIPing or printing, as well as archive and retrieve jobs. • Enhanced text and line art quality You can choose superior text quality with the Creo proprietary algorithm. This function enhances the quality of diagonal lines,

9 borders, blends, and small text. The Creo anti-aliasing causes blends to appear smooth with no banding and diagonal lines to appear crisp without jagged edges (do not use this option with VI jobs). You can choose superior image quality with the Creo proprietary smooth scale algorithm. This function improves the quality of images containing various resolutions (such as images taken from the Internet). • Trapping - FAF (Full Auto Frame) The Spire CXP6000 color server uses the well-known Creo algorithm to trap job information easily. The FAF algorithm has been tailored for digital printing. • Imposition The Spire CXP6000 color server offers a full suite of Imposition functions, based on the well-known Ultimate Imposition engine. On the Spire CXP6000 color server, imposition is robust with user- friendly operation. And only the Spire CXP6000 color server enables imposition of Variable Information jobs. • Color Management The Spire CXP6000 color server has a number of color management tools and utilities that will help you to improve the quality of your jobs. The Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to modify color on-the- fly, even for images that have already been RIPped. This functionality includes application of brightness and contrast adjustments, as well as changes to image gradation and calibration. • Variable Information printing The Spire CXP6000 color server enables processing of Creo Variable Print Specification and Xerox VIPP file formats and PPML for efficient VI (Variable Information) processing and printing. Repeated elements are RIPped once and cached, so there is no need to continually re-RIP them. The Spire CXP6000 color server also provides easy management of VI elements, including previewing, deleting and updating. The Spire CXP6000 color server also offers imposition for VI jobs, the only digital solution in the industry with this capability. • Creo workflow extenders This is a set of Adobe Photoshop and QuarkXPress software plug-ins and extensions that facilitate printing with the Spire CXP6000 color

server. These extensions are located in the shared Utilities folder on the Spire CXP6000 color server or on CD #3 supplied with the Spire CXP6000 color server software kit. Supported Formats The Spire CXP6000 color server supports the following file formats: • PostScript (composite or pre-separated files) • PDF • EPS • Creo VPS (Variable Print Specification) • VIPP (Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Params) • PPML (Personalized Print Markup Language) • GAP (Graphic Art Port) files (file formats from various prepress systems, for example Brisque job and TIFF / IT) • Creo CT & LW • JPG, TIFF • Pre-separated formats Workflow The Spire CXP6000 color server receives and processes files from the following client workstations: • Macintosh – running Mac OS 9.x or later and Mac OS X (10.1 and later) • Windows – running Windows 98, ME, Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP • UNIX Workstations and Servers

11 The Spire CXP6000 color server basic workflow is as follows: User activates Print in the DTP application (for example, Microsoft PowerPoint). User selects one of the default Spire color server virtual printers (for example, ProcessPrint). File begins processing according to settings predefined in the file or for the selected virtual printer. File is spooled to the Spire color server. After the job has completed processing, the file is printed to the DocuColor printer, and an RTP (Ready-to-Print) format of the job is stored in the storage folder on the Spire color server.

Data Flow The Spire CXP6000 color server Data Flow is as follows: 1. The input file arrives at the Spire CXP6000 color server from either a client workstation, local hard disk, or external media and is submitted to the Process queue. 2. The processing sub-system produces an RTP job from the input file. 3. The RTP job is stored on an image disk. 4. When printing starts, the RTP job elements on the disk are decompressed and merged to the correct location on the page. This is done using Creo hardware. 5. The image delivery sub-system converts the RTP information into the print engine format. 6. The image delivery sub-system transmits the page information to the print engine. 7. The page data is delivered to the Print Engine and the job is printed. Processing Software Decompress and Page Assembly (Hardware) Image Delivery (Printed Page) Printer Disks RTP PDL RTP

13 Spire CXP6000 Color Server Network Printers For Macintosh and Windows networks, the Spire CXP6000 color server provides three default network printers, known also as virtual printers. Virtual printers are a function used for automating workflows, which then define job streaming. They contain preset workflows that are automatically applied to all print jobs processed with that virtual printer. There is no need to reset job settings for each job, thus increasing printing efficiency. The three default virtual printers are: • SpoolStore Files are spooled directly to the Storage window and await operator processing. You can only import PDL files (such as: PS, PDF, VIPP, VPS) to the spool store, not RIPped - RTP files. • ProcessPrint Files sent to this virtual printer are processed and printed directly to the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press via the Spire CXP6000 color server. • ProcessStore Files sent to this virtual printer are automatically processed and stored in RTP format. After processing, the files are stored in the Storage window of the Spire CXP6000 color server until the print operator re- submits them for printing. With printing workflows tailored to your job requirements, the Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to: • Define new virtual printers • Choose from which virtual printer to print Note: The job (print) parameters set in the job (from the client) override the parameters set in the virtual printer. For information on defining and editing virtual printers, see Managing Virtual Printers on page 222.

To resolve the conflict, select one of the following options: • In the Resolve Options area, select a resolve option, and then click Resolve. • Click Cancel to remove the value you selected for the last parameter. Basic Job Workflow The basic workflow in the Spire CXP6000 color server consists of three main stages: 1. Submitting a file from a client workstation, or importing and printing from the Spire CXP6000 color server, see Submitting on page 32 2. After a job is imported, the print engine starts to process the job, see Processing on page 33 3. The job is printed and stored in the Storage window for future use, see Storage on page 34

Submitting There are two methods for submitting a file for printing: • Submit a file from an application on your client workstation—for example, PDL formats that were created on client workstations that are not connected to the Spire CXP6000 color server, or files that are available only on external media. • You can also import job files that reside locally on the Spire CXP6000 color server. Printing From a Client Workstation To print a job from a client workstation, select one of the following methods: • Print the job via one of the Spire CXP6000 color server network (virtual) printers—for example, ProcessPrint. The job is spooled and then processed or printed (according to the selected job flow of the virtual printer). If you use this method, you can print from any application —for example, Microsoft Word— and use any file format from any client workstation (Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX). • Drag the job to a hot folder. The job is spooled and processed or printed (according to the selected job flow of the corresponding virtual printer). If you use the hot folder method, you can print most PDL files on the Spire CXP6000 color server— for example, PostScript, PDF, EPS, Variable Print Specification, and VIPP files. For more information about hot folders, see Using Hot Folders on page 86. Note: PDL jobs that are spooled to the Spire CXP6000 color server must have the appropriate file name extensions—for example, *.ps or *.pdf.

33 Importing and Printing From the Spire CXP6000 Color Server You can import to the Spire CXP6000 color server any PDL file such as a PostScript or PDF file, that is located on any local or network drive —for example, a CD-ROM drive or a shared network drive. Processing After a job enters the Spire CXP6000 color server, it resides in the Queues window or the Storage window, depending on the job flow. The Queues window consists of two areas: • The Process Queue lists the job currently being processed and all the jobs that are waiting to be processed. • The Print Queue lists the job that is currently printing and all the jobs that were processed successfully and are waiting to be printed. The Print Queue also lists frozen jobs (jobs for which the specified paper stock is not available). Each queue holds jobs in the order in which they enter the queue (unless a rush job “interrupts” the submission order). The top job in the queue is the currently running job, while all the others are waiting to run. The Print Queue and Process Queue areas show you the number of jobs and their status. You can change the order of jobs, suspend them, resume them, or view and edit the parameters. For more information about rush jobs, see Running a Job Immediately on page 199.

Storage Note: If there are very short jobs in the Print Queue, several jobs may be running at the same time. The jobs marked as running are listed first and are printed in the order of the list.

35 The Storage window is the main repository for jobs. It can contain: • Completed jobs • Jobs that were manually moved to the Storage window • Jobs that were aborted during processing or printing • Jobs that failed to complete processing or printing • Jobs that were imported or spooled directly from a client workstation Resubmitting You can easily reprint RTP jobs that are stored in the Storage window. Select the job you want to reprint and then submit it. The job is automatically placed in the Print Queue. The Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to change job parameters and edit jobs prior to reprinting. You can change job parameters in the Job Parameters window. Certain changes to the job parameters require you to re-RIP the job. The Spire CXP6000 color server automatically determines whether your file requires re-RIPing and places it in the appropriate queue when you submit it for reprinting. You cannot re-RIP jobs that you edit in the Job Editor. When you save a job in the Job Editor, a new RTP file is created. No PDL file is associated with it. Therefore, parameters requiring re-RIPing can’t be applied. For more information about the Storage window, see Handling Jobs in the Storage Window on page 202. For more information about resubmitting a job, see Reprinting Jobs on page 158. For more information about editing RTP jobs, see Editing RTP Jobs on page 213.

Turning Off the Spire CXP6000 Color Server 1. In the Spire CXP6000 color server workspace, from the Job menu, select Exit. Or: Click in the upper-right corner of the Spire CXP6000 color server workspace. The Spire CXP6000 color server workspace closes, and you return to the Windows desktop. 2.

Default Network Printers For Macintosh and Windows networks, the Spire CXP6000 color server provides three default network printers known as virtual printers, ProcessPrint, ProcessStore and SpoolStore. Virtual printers contain preset workflows that are automatically applied to all print jobs processed with that virtual printer. Using virtual printers enables you to print jobs more efficiently. The Spire CXP6000 color server enables you to select from which virtual printer to print. It also allows you to define new virtual printers, with printing workflows tailored to your specific job requirements. An additional default network printer is provided for Macintosh networks. FontDownLoader This is a special network printer that you use with Macintosh client workstations to download fonts. The FontDownLoader enables you to send fonts to the Spire CXP6000 color server and use these fonts later in printed jobs. It is not possible to send files via the FontDownLoader, only fonts. Note: Unless you select the Override PPD parameters check box when you add a virtual printer, the job (print) parameters that are set in the job will override the parameters set in the virtual printer. For more information about virtual printers, see Managing Virtual Printers on page 222 and Spire CXP6000 Color Server Network Printers on page 13. For For more information about the Fontdownloader, see Using the Fontdownloader for Macintosh Networks on page 307.

39 Setting PPD File Parameters You can set job parameters from a client workstation using the Spire CXP6000 color server PPD file or you can define a virtual printer with predefined PPD file settings. To print a file from Windows, you first need to set up a Spire CXP6000 color server network printer with the appropriate PPD file. The PPD file contains all the parameters and paper stock definitions for the printer and enables you to print your file properly. To use the Spire CXP6000 color server PPD file: ¾ In the Print window of your application, select print settings specific to printing to the Spire CXP6000 color server. To define a virtual printer: ¾ Set job parameters when you create or edit a virtual printer. These settings become the printer's default options. The following table lists the PPD file parameters and the printing options that can be selected from the Print window of an application. For more information about print settings, see Printing From Windows on page 65 and Printing from a Macintosh on page 76. For more information about virtual printers, see Adding a new printer on page 223 and Editing an Existing Printer on page 225. Notes: • In the PPD file, the Printer’s Default option is selected for all PPD file parameters. The Printer’s Default option corresponds to the settings of the currently selected virtual printer. • The parameter settings that were last modified or applied are the settings that are applied to the job. However, the print settings defined in the job file override the settings of the virtual printer. • Grayscale images created in RGB applications (such as PowerPoint) should be specified as monochrome or you should select Gray RGB>Print grays using black toner in the PPD file when you submit the job to the Spire CXP6000 color server. This selection ensures that grayscale images are counted as black and white instead of color in both the Spire CXP6000 color server and in the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press billing meters.

Table 4: PPD parameters PPD Parameter Printing Options Print Method Simplex prints single-sided pages (default). In Duplex Head to Toe, the image on the reverse side of the sheet is rotated 180 degrees. It is used for calendar-style hard copies and presentation-style copies (usually used with landscape jobs). In Duplex Head to Head, the head of the image appears at the top of the page on both sides of the sheet. It is used for normal book-style hard copies (usually used with portrait jobs). Image orientation for imposition Landscape specifies a landscape orientation for imposition. Portrait specifies a portrait orientation for imposition. Reverse Print Order Yes starts printing from the last page. No starts printing from the first page. Face Up Face Up delivers the pages face up on the printer. Face Down delivers the pages face down on the printer (when printing confidential documents). Collation Yes prints a complete copy of the job before the first page of the next copy is printed. No prints all the copies of each page before all the copies of the next page are printed. Image Scale Select Fit to paper for the image to fit the selected paper in the paper stock 100% prints at 100% of the original size (default) Select an image scale by which to proportionally increase or decrease the image size, 50%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 350%, 400% Rotate 180 Yes (only relevant for the Finisher Module > HCSS Staple Tray option), modifies the stapling position by 180 degrees. For example, instead of stapling on the upper left-hand corner, you can staple on the lower right-hand corner. No ignores this method. Paper set Undefined uses the parameters from the Paper Stock tab Paper sets 1-10 are the predefined paper sets available on the Spire CXP6000 color server Type Select Paper or Transparency as the media.

41 Weight Select the required paper weight from the list. The following ranges are listed: 64-74, 75-105, 106-135, 136-150, 151-220 and 221-300 For example, 75-105 gsm prints on 75-105 gsm paper. Coating Coated prints on coated paper. UnCoated prints on uncoated paper. Text and Line Quality High provides superior text quality. This setting applies the Creo proprietary algorithm that enhances the quality of diagonal lines, borders, blends, and small text. The Creo anti-aliasing causes blends to appear smooth with no banding and diagonal lines to appear crisp without jagged edges. Do not use this option with VI jobs. Normal provides standard text quality. Image Quality High provides superior image quality. This setting applies the Creo proprietary smooth scale algorithm, which improves the quality of images containing several resolutions (such as images taken from the Internet). Normal provides standard image quality and increased RIPing speed. Trapping Yes applies the Creo FAF (Full Auto Frame) algorithm to the job. Trapping solves misregistration between color separations in offset and digital printing. This occurs regardless of the printer device accuracy. This problem results in white lines around objects on top of a background (in a knock-out procedure) and also between adjacent colors. The FAF solution is to extract the element or background to create an overlap between them. Do not use this option with VI jobs. No does not begin image trapping while RIPing (this does not affect trapping incorporated by the authoring application). If trapping was applied in the authoring application, select No. Table 4: PPD parameters PPD Parameter Printing Options

Black Overprint Yes provides better printing quality (as in FAF) and a richer, deeper black with the underlying CMY values equal to those of the printed background. As a result, misregistrations are not visible. Black Overprint ensures that 100% black text prints cleanly within a tint or picture area. Occasionally, white lines may appear around black text and the text may appear less dense than required as a result of misregistration between color separations. With Black Overprint, the Pure Black Text / Graphics option is automatically activated and there are no knock-outs under the black text. However, a knock-out occurs when you print only the topmost color. This results in less color density and can cause misregistration if separations are not perfectly aligned. No leaves the job as is. PS Overprint PS Overprint offers the option to use the overprint, which exists in the PostScript file. It also determines whether the DTP application PS Overprint settings are honored in the RIP. Spire CXP6000 color server settings override PS Overprint commands from DTP applications. For example, if PS Overprint was set to Yes in a DTP application, selecting PS Overprint No in the Spire CXP6000 color server results in no overprinting. The Spire CXP6000 color server can not create PS Overprint that is not predefined in the file. Selecting PS Overprint Yes for a file that has not had overprinting defined in a DTP application does not result in overprinting. Yes (default) instructs the RIP to use the overprint information that exists in the input PostScript file. Also, if PS Overprint is applied in a DTP applications, it is implemented by the Spire CXP6000 color server. Background colors are not knocked out. For example, in the case of a yellow triangle overlapping a cyan circle, selecting Yes results in the overlapping area turning green. This is not seen on the screen, only in print. No ignores the overprint information that exists in the input PostScript file. Background colors are knocked out and only the top most color parts are seen on the screen in your DTP application. For example, in the case of a yellow triangle overlapping a cyan circle, selecting No results in the cyan background being knocked out, so only the yellow is printed.

43 Image Noise No (default) applies no image noise to your job. Noise 2-10 apply image noise. The higher the level, the smoother the vignettes appear. Color Mode Grayscale prints all pages using black (K) toner only. Color prints all pages using all CMYK toners. If you selected Color, select the Print grays in black toner option in the Gray RGB list to print RGB gray images using black toner only. If you want grayscale CMYK elements to be printed using black toner only, you need to select Perceptual as the rendering intent. RGB Workflow This option changes gamma values, thus producing more color depth for RGB images. To use the embedded CSA, select Use Source CSA. To replace use a Spire or Adobe CSA, select Use Spire RGB 1.8, Use Spire RGB2.1, Use Spire RGB 2.4, Use sRGB, or Use Adobe RGB. Gray RGB Select Print grays using CMYK to print grayscale CMYK elements using black toner only. Select Print grays in black toner to print RGB gray images using black toner only. Rendering Intent for RGB Rendering intent defines how colors are compressed from CIELAB values to printer color space. Relative Colorimetric provides an accurate general-purpose gamut mapping for all applications. The lowest density is mapped to white. Absolute Colorimetric preserves the substrate tint. Saturated (presentation) produces saturated colors that are suitable for office environment applications —for example, text documents and presentations. Perceptual (photographic) yields the most effective results on continuous tone and images. Saturated (presentation) and Perceptual (photographic) are the most effective rendering intent methods for RGB images. Table 4: PPD parameters PPD Parameter Printing Options

CMYK Workflow Select Use Original CMYK values, Use Source CSA, or select a CMYK emulation, Printer’s Default (None), Fogra Gloss Emulation, Fogra Matt Emulation, Fogra Uncoated, Euroscale, Gravure, Japan_Color, Offset, Match Print, iGen3 or SWOP. Printer’s Default (None), applies Ink Saving (GCR) without emulation. In all cases, emulation applied in the original DTP application overrides the Spire CXP6000 color server settings. Emulate Source Paper Tint Yes to emulate also the original paper tint No This parameter is available only if you selected an emulation method. Emulate RGB Elements No Yes to emulate RGB colors according to the selected CMYK emulation method This parameter is available only if you selected an emulation method. Preserve Pure Colors Yes to emulate pure CMYK colors No This parameter is available only you selected an emulation method. Rendering Intent for CMYK Rendering intent defines how colors are compressed from CIELAB values to printer color space. Relative Colorimetric provides an accurate general-purpose gamut mapping for all applications. The lowest density is mapped to white. Perceptual (photographic) yields the most effective results on continuous tone and images. Saturated (presentation) produces saturated colors that are suitable for office environment applications (for example text documents and presentations). Absolute Colorimetric preserves the substrate tint. Relative Colorimetric and Absolute Colorimetric are the most effective rendering intent methods for CMYK images. Use Spire Spot color dictionary Yes to use the Spire spot color dictionary No Table 4: PPD parameters PPD Parameter Printing Options

45 Destination profile Linked uses the destination profile that was mapped to a paper color in the Resource Center>Profile Manager DC6060_DC2000_GA and DC6060_DC2000_COM are predefined destination profiles. The predefined ICC profiles for the Xerox DocuColor 5252 Digital Color Press are SpireDC5252_COM and SpireDC5252_GA. Calibration Normal prints using the normal calibration table. Saturated prints using the saturated calibration table. None prints without calibration, therefore, there is no balance between colors and gives no color calibration data. Screening Method Automatic applies two types of screens: • For CT, the system uses Dot type screen of 200 lpi. • For LW (text / line-art elements), the system uses Line type screen of 200 lpi. Dot 150 applies Dot type screen of 150 lpi. Dot 200 applies Dot type screen of 200 lpi. Line 200 applies line type screen of 200 lpi. Line 300 applies line type screen of 300 lpi. Line 600 applies line type screen of 600 lpi. Ink Saving (GCR) No does not use GCR and uses default maximum toner settings. Use Low, Medium, or High to set the amount of CMY toners to be replaced by the black toner. High provides low ink coverage while saving on toner (this prevents the occasional peeling of ink and the curling effect that may occur when printing transparencies). Brightness Brightness settings can be applied to RTP jobs without reprocessing (re- RIPing the file). Normal keeps the current job setting and does not apply extra brightness. To apply brightness, select one of the range options: Light (5%), Lighter (10%), Lightest (15%), Dark (5%), Darker (10%), Darkest (15%). Table 4: PPD parameters PPD Parameter Printing Options

Contrast Contrast settings can be applied to RTP jobs without reprocessing (re- RIPing the file). Normal keeps the current job setting and does not apply extra contrast. To apply contrast, select Less Contrast or More Contrast. Automatic Deletion Always, Never, Successful Only, Failed Only On large VI jobs, which take up a large amount of the Spire CXP6000 color server’s disk space, it is recommended (if you do not need to reprint the job) that you use the this option. Completed and failed jobs are automatically saved in the Storage window unless you select one of the Job Deletion options. Always removes all jobs after they are printed. Never does not delete any job after printing it. Successful Only continuously deletes pages once they have been successfully printed and thus sustains enough free disk space for the duration of the print run. Each successfully printed page of the job is immediately deleted while the rest of the job remains in the queue to print. Failed only removes failed jobs (while processing or printing) from the Spire CXP6000 color server. APR Print with High Res prints using high-resolution files. Print with Low Res prints using low-resolution files. Job Flow Process Print RIPs the PDL files and prints them, and then moves the files to the Storage window or deletes them in accordance with the deletion policy. Process Store RIPs the PDL files, and then moves them to the Storage window as RTP jobs. Spool Store copies the PDL files directly to the Storage window. Split to booklets Select the required number of pages (1-10) per booklet. Printers Default (No) does not split the job to booklets. Table 4: PPD parameters PPD Parameter Printing Options

47 Admin Page Admin Page includes general information about the job, including paper stock parameters (Admin Page can also apply to completed jobs that weren’t successful). Admin page is printed in the same order as the job, before each set for face-down printing and after each set for face-up printing. No (default) does not print an admin page with the job. Yes prints an admin page. Slip Sheet Yes inserts a sheet offset from the job stock between jobs or copies of a job or at the end of uncollated stacks of pages. No does not insert any slip-sheets. Finisher Module To select the printed output’s destination, select a finisher module from the list: OCT (Offset Catch Tray) prints to the output cache tray. If your printer is equipped with an HCS (High Capacity Stacker), select: HCS/EHCS Top Tray to print to the top tray HCS/EHCS Stack Tray to print to the stack tray, which is the internal tray For the Xerox DocuColor 5252, 2060, and 2045 Digital Color Presses, select the Bypass Tray option to print to the DFA. If your printer is equipped with an HCSS (High Capacity Stacker Stapler), select: HCSS Top Tray to print to the top tray HCSS Stack Tray to print to the stack tray (usually for many pages or copies). HCSS Staple Stack to print a document that is already stapled DFA Profile 1 / DFA Profile 2 / DFA Profile 3 / DFA Profile 4 / DFA Profile 5 prints to the DFA (Document Finishing Architecture) device. Select the required profile according to the profile set in the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press. Finisher Offset Yes shifts the sheets when a new page number is delivered. For example, if you requested three copies of each page uncollated, the printing output sequence is as follows, Page1, Page1, Page1, Offset, Page2, Page2, Page2, Offset, and so on. No does not use this printing method. Table 4: PPD parameters PPD Parameter Printing Options

Important: To connect to the Spire Web Center from a client workstation, you must first enable the web connect service on the Spire CXP6000 color server. To enable this service, select the Settings window>Administration>Remote Tools Setup. For more information about setting up the web connect service, see Remote Tools Setup on page 411.

79 2. When the Internet Explorer starts, in the address field type: http://—for example, if the Spire station name is FALCON_E, type http://FALCON_E. The Spire CXP6000 color server Web Center appears. Note: You can also use the Spire color server IP address—for example, http://192.168.92.0. Important: If you would like to connect to the Spire CXP6000 color server from a Macintosh client workstation, contact your system administrator to add the Spire name to the DNS. This is required since Windows name resolution protocols are not supported in Macintosh. The DNS addition is required when clients go through a main server on the network.

The Web Viewer The Web Viewer page enables you to view the printer configuration and system information, the jobs that currently reside in the Spire CXP6000 color server Queues window and Storage window, and to view the alerts that currently appear in the Alerts window. This information is important when you print from a client workstation because it enables you to monitor your jobs in the queues and then make any necessary changes. In addition, if you have a system that uses XML protocol, you can retrieve information about the job list and printer status. The Queues tab In the Queues tab you can view the jobs that are currently running in the Spire CXP6000 color server Print Queue and Process Queue.

81 The Storage tab In the Storage tab you can view the Spire CXP6000 color server Storage window and the jobs that reside in this window.

The Alerts tab In the Alerts tab you can view the Spire CXP6000 color server Alerts window messages. For example, if a job that you sent to print from your client workstation has failed—you can view the message in the Alerts window, edit the job parameters (PPD file), and then resend it for processing and printing on the Spire CXP6000 color server.

83 The Printer tab In the Printer tab you can view the Spire CXP6000 color server system information. Web Viewer API The JobList.xml file and the Printer Status.xml file enable you to retrieve information about the job list and the printer status. The JobList.xml file contains information about files in the Print Queue, Process Queue, and the Storage window. To see the Job List view, type the following path: http:///WebViewer/GetView.asp?View=JobList_xml. The Printer Status.xml file contains information about the various printer states. To see the Printer State view, type the following path: http:///WebViewer/GetView.asp?View=PrinterStatus_xml.

Downloads The Downloads page enables you to access the Spire CXP6000 color server Utilities folder and download available tools and files for Windows and Macintosh client workstations—for example, the Spire CXP6000 color server PPD file.

Using Hot Folders For every published Spire CXP6000 color server network printer that you define on a client workstation, a corresponding hot folder is automatically created in the Spire CXP6000 color server D:\Hot Folders folder. The Spire CXP6000 color server has three default hot folders, HF_ProcessPrint, HF_ProcessStore, and HF_SpoolStore. These hot folders correspond to the three default printers. Each hot folder carries the virtual printer's name (HF_printer’s name), see the following graphic. When you connect from a client workstation to the Spire CXP6000 color server over the network, you can use the hot folder to submit PDL jobs to the Spire CXP6000 color server. When you establish a connection, drag your jobs onto the required hot folder (according to the selected workflow). Jobs that reside in the hot folder will automatically be submitted to the Spire CXP6000 color server through the corresponding virtual printer. Consequently, all of the virtual printer job parameters, inclusive of the workflow, will be applied to the job. Tip: You can also drag the hot folder icon to your desktop to create a short cut to the folder for future usage.
