finishing settings that have been specified for the job in the Job Properties dialog box or printer driver.
• When two or more Mixed Media settings are in conflict with each other, the Mixed Media dialog box highlights
the setting names in red, signaling you to resolve the conflict.
• When you specify print options (in the Job Properties dialog box or printer driver) after specifying Mixed Media
settings, certain print options may conflict with the page-specific Mixed Media settings. You must resolve the
conflict by choosing different print options or removing certain Mixed Media specifications.
• Mixed Media settings affect the use of output color profiles when the “Use media defined profile” option is
selected in Color Setup. For more information, see Color Printing.

allowing inspection of individual plate data or a combination of any range of plates.
If Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition is installed and enabled on the EX/EX-P Print Server, you can use
ImageViewer to preview and adjust colors on a job that has been processed and held. For information about using
ImageViewer, see Fiery Graphic Arts Package.
Troubleshooting connections
If you cannot connect to the EX/EX-P Print Server or locate the EX/EX-P Print Server from your computer, contact
the network administrator.
The administrator may need to troubleshoot your network connections and check settings on the servers that you
print to. If settings have changed, it may be necessary to reconfigure the EX/EX-P Print Server (see Configuration
and Setup).
If you can connect to the EX/EX-P Print Server with another utility, you may need to reconfigure the Command
WorkStation connection to the EX/EX-P Print Server.

Hot Folders
Hot Folders provide a simple and automated method of sending print jobs to the EX/EX-P Print Server across the
network. You drag documents to a folder that stores and reuses preset print options for printing PostScript and PDF
files on the EX/EX-P Print Server.
With Hot Folders, you can do the following:
• Create special folders (hot folders) that assign specific print settings and print queues to jobs.
• Print jobs to the EX/EX-P Print Server by dragging and dropping them onto hot folders on your computer’s
desktop.
• Monitor the status of jobs sent to hot folders.
1 Install Hot Folders and allow the Migration Assistant to detect the earlier version.
Note: The Migration Assistant window only appears if an earlier version of Hot Folders is installed. (Earlier
versions include the following: on Windows, all 2.x versions; on Mac OS, all 2.x versions.)
Note: Do not click Cancel when migration is in progress. Canceling the operation may cause permanent damage
to the Hot Folders being upgraded.
4 In case of failure, click Retry to attempt migration again before exiting the Migration Assistant.
Note: Retrying generates a new summary, checking only the files that failed.
5 Click OK.
WebTools
WebTools consists of several utilities that allow you to manage your EX/EX-P Print Server remotely from the
Internet or your company intranet.
The EX/EX-P Print Server has a home page, where you can select the following WebTools:
• Home provides current information about the jobs processing and printing on the EX/EX-P Print Server.
• Downloads allows remote users to download installers (for printer drivers and other user software) directly from
the EX/EX-P Print Server.
• Docs allows remote users to access jobs on the EX/EX-P Print Server over the Internet or intranet.
• Configure allows the EX/EX-P Print Server administrator to view and modify Setup options remotely from a
Windows or Mac OS computer.
Setting up WebTools
WebTools are accessed through the home page of the EX/EX-P Print Server web site and do not require special
installation. However, WebTools do require initial setup by the EX/EX-P Print Server administrator.
To enable network users to access and use WebTools, the administrator must set specific options in Network Setup
and Printer Setup. For information about these specific Setup options, see Configuration and Setup.
The administrator must prepare each user computer to communicate with the EX/EX-P Print Server over the
Internet or intranet.
2 Make sure that the Windows or Mac OS computer has a valid, unique IP address.
• Change the Pop-up Blocker setting by clicking the warning message and choosing one of the selections that
appears.
• Turn off Pop-up Blocker in the Internet Explorer Tools menu.

WebTools
If your browser has the advanced Internet option enabled to display notifications about script errors, it might display
a warning window before displaying a Help file. To avoid the warning window, clear the “Display a notification about
every script error” option on the Advanced tab in the Internet Options dialog box. A warning message might also
appear in the Status bar, but the content of the Help file is not affected by this error.
For more information, see Internet Explorer Help, or the documentation that accompanies the Windows operating
system.
3 Click the tab for the WebTool that you want to use.
