Fiery SI printing connections

In Fiery SI Printer setup you decide how the Fiery SI manages print jobs by deciding
which printing connections should be "published" to users over the network. The
Direct connection and Print queue are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. If
you don't want users to print to a connection, don't publish it.
The Fiery SI publishes two types of connections: the Direct connection and queues.
You must publish at least one connection to the Fiery SI.

Direct connection

Jobs are transmitted to the Fiery SI Direct connection only when the Fiery SI is ready
to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the Fiery SI is ready, and are
processed as soon as a prior job is finished, before the next queued job is processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery SI hard disk; therefore
the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files.
If you plan to download fonts to the Fiery SI, you must publish the Direct connection.

Queues

A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print
jobs are being sent to the Fiery SI. When a job is printed to a Fiery SI queue, it is
stored on the Fiery SI hard disk rather than the user's hard disk, quickly freeing up the
user's workstation.
Remote users can only print to published connections. However, job storage areas for
all queues exist on the server, so that administrators or other users of Fiery XJ Spooler
can move or copy jobs to the Print or Hold queue, whether or not these queues are
published.
The Fiery SI hard disk supports up to three queues (Print, Hold, and Printed). Users
may print to two of them (Print and Hold).

utilities, you must publish the Print queue.
