Command WorkStation

Command WorkStation is a cross-platform application that gives operators the tools to manage jobs on the
imagePRESS Server, and administrators the tools to configure the imagePRESS Server for printing.
Command WorkStation includes the Job Center for job management, Device Center for server resource
management, and Fiery make-ready applications for complex preparation of jobs for printing.
In the Job Center and Device Center views, the Servers list shows every imagePRESS Server 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, tray association status, and errors and alerts.
•
Job Center displays the tools for managing jobs in the print queues, and a job preview of processed jobs. The
status of jobs is shown. You can search for jobs and access features from the customizable toolbar.
•
Device Center gives you access to all of the resources of the imagePRESS Server. From the Device Center, you can
access Server Configuration and tools such as Backup & Restore. You can perform Color Setup, configure Virtual
Printers, set up Paper Catalog entries, manage VDP Resources, and view fonts installed on the imagePRESS
Server.

Installing Command Workstation

Install Command WorkStation on a Windows or Mac OS computer with a network connection to the imagePRESS
Server.
For a complete list of system requirements, see Configuration and Setup.
The Installer is provided on the User Software DVD as part of the Fiery User Software Installer (Windows
computers) or as a separate application (Mac OS X). To install Command WorkStation, see
on page 9.

Connecting Command WorkStation

To use Command WorkStation, you must configure the connection to the imagePRESS Server.
The first time you start Command WorkStation, you are prompted to configure the connection to the imagePRESS
Server. You can also edit the configuration whenever a change to your imagePRESS Server or network occurs, such
as a changed server name or IP address. If you change imagePRESS Server Setup information, do so before you
reconfigure the connection.
Note: Officially, Command WorkStation is supported for up to ten simultaneous connections to imagePRESS
Servers. However, additional connections are not blocked by the user software.
The imagePRESS Server Configuration page contains information you need when configuring the connection, such
as the IP address of the imagePRESS Server. For TCP/IP installations, you can use the DNS name instead of the IP
address. Make sure that the imagePRESS Server is registered in a Domain Name Server (DNS) on your network. For
more information, contact your network administrator.
