iR C2100/2100S job environments

The iR C2100/2100S supports several levels of control of printing, job
management, and setup, and offers you the flexibility to choose the
configuration that corresponds to the requirements of your site. Your
situation may correspond to one of the descriptions outlined below, or you
may prefer an intermediate level of control.
At one extreme, an administrator or operator in a high-volume printing
environment controls the entire job flow and all printing. Print jobs arriving
from remote users are spooled to the iR C2100/2100S and stored until the
operator decides it is time to print them. Additional functions (calibration,
job overrides, prioritizing, font management) are reserved for the
administrator or operator. Note that only the Administrator can perform
calibration.
At the other extreme, anyone on the local network can control all printing
and iR C2100/2100S functions; operator intervention is not necessary. Users
can print from their workstations to any of the published print connections.
Anyone can use the Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, or Fiery
Spooler to control any print job.
The spectrum of control that an administrator can implement is described
fully in the Configuration Guide.
