We also recommend selecting Enable Auto Sync in Paper Catalog Setting and “Merge all similar data” in
Merging Option to continue to perform automatic synchronization and prevent repeated registration of the
same media from multiple Fiery Servers.
Click Finish to complete the settings.
In the case of selecting “Load Paper catalog from device now”, loading of Paper Catalog is started after the

Fiery Server once to newly register it again.
Delete Fiery Server in Printer Devices dialog box by selecting the following: Congure → Printer Devices.
When deleting registered Server, all jobs from Fiery Server need to be deleted by Client. Display Fiery jobs (to
delete) from the Server on Client UI to delete them before deleting registered Server.
