Secure Print for Fiery-Enabled Devices

Follow these instructions to configure the Fiery Controller Support add-on to an existing SLNX system. This add-on allows you to release secure print jobs to a Fiery-enabled device. Configuration steps are required within the SLNX Management Console.

Only users who log in to the Management Console with a Customer Engineer role can add the required entries to the Delegation Server keys. Refer to Overview of System Roles for instructions regarding roles.

Update the device details with the Fiery

  1. In the Device List, select the device that has a Fiery controller.

  1. Enter the address of the Fiery in the "Fiery Controller Address" field.

  2. Click [Save].

Enable XSC

  1. Click [System] ⟶ [Server Settings] ⟶ [Advanced System Settings Editor].

    If this option is not available, you are not logged into the Management Console with the required Customer Engineer role.

  2. Change the View to Delegation Server Settings, shown below.

  1. Click [Save]

Install SLNX Embedded on the Device

If it’s not already installed, proceed to install SLNX Embedded on the device. X ref to the install. After the installation, the device is ready to release jobs through the Fiery controller.

Reprints from Fiery Command Workstation will not count/track in SLNX.

Print Driver Considerations

There are two print driver approaches:

  1. Use the same Print queue as rest of SLNX fleet (PCL/PS Universal driver):

Jobs will print but may not print colors / finishing / tray selection etc. correctly due to not using Fiery Driver.

  1. Use Fiery-specific driver:

  • Allows the user to choose Fiery options features.

  • Places different jobs into a user queue, some jobs from Universal and Fiery.

  • It is not possible to limit the Fiery to see only Fiery jobs.
