Page 22 Job List window Your first view of Fiery WebSpooler is the Job List window, which is divided into three areas by Spool, RIP, and Print status bars. The Job List window is surrounded by a frame that includes slider buttons and menus. System information indicators at the bottom of the window show the availability of hard disk space and RAM on the currently selected RIP Station. When the RIP Station is receiving and processing print jobs, the Job List window is a dynamic display, filled with the names of jobs and their characteristics. Status bars animate in real time as new jobs are processed and printed, and jobs move to different display areas. Menu bar Spool status bar Spooled jobs RIP status bar Rasterized (RIPped) jobs Print status bar Printed jobs System information indicators The Spool, RIP, and Print areas of the Job List window represent the stages of printing a job. Jobs come in at the top level (Spool) and drop down to the Print level, unless they are held along the way. • Spooled jobs-Jobs listed in the area below the Spool status bar area are PostScript files stored on the RIP Station disk. These jobs were sent to the Print queue. These PostScript files are saved on the server's hard disk. PostScript files can come in packets from the network, or from another place on the server hard disk. Jobs are added to a queue in the order in which they arrive, and they generally move to another queue in the same order unless someone intervenes to change the order. • RIPped jobs-Jobs listed in the area below the RIP status bar are ready to print. They have already been rasterized (RIPped, or processed for printing) and are waiting, in order, for access to the printer. During RIPping, PostScript commands are interpreted in the RIP Station to allow the printer to print the file the way its originator intended. The result of this interpretation is a raster file associated with the original PostScript file. In this raster file (raster image), color data is associated with each dot that can be rendered by the print engine. The color data tells the print engine whether or not to apply cyan, magenta, yellow, or black ink to each position on the page.
