When is job data written to/stored on the Fiery Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and the Fiery Random Access Memory (RAM)?
Fierys offer three print queue choices: Direct, Hold, and Print. When a job is printed to the Direct Queue, the job data is most secure. Direct Queue printing is explained in detail in the next question. When a job is printed to the Hold or Print queue, it is spooled to the Fiery HDD (in its pre-rasterized form). After a job is RIPped, its rasterized form can be held and saved on the Fiery HDD for printing later, or may be “waiting” for engine availability and is saved in RAM while doing so. After a job is finished printing, it may remain on the HDD (in case of reprinting) in its pre-rasterized state.
