Not much on that page in way of documentation? Can you send the UserGuide in
PDF this way? Do they use the word 'ColorWise' workstation or 'ColorWise'
RIP anywhere?
You maybe best to start managing color onto your host until you figure out
*exactly* which conversions take place where in the RIP -- some are not very
well documented, and Fiery has the habit of implementing things their own
ways, under their own standard naming conventions. So if you come come an
ICC world, you tend to scratch your head more than you would trying to
decipher how to map their concepts into ICC concepts for color conversions.
Your best bet is to have your company buy you a copy of Real World Color
Management by Bruce Fraser, Chris Murphy and Fred Bunting to pick up the
basics. Abhay Sharma has also an excellent book on color management and I
hear some others are coming ...

Sounds like this is a beefed-up version of their RIP! Do they use the word
'ICC profiles' anywhere? Probably not. But the concepts should be similar.
It's just a matter of figuring what they mean by the chain of color
conversions they support.
