This chapter describes printer drivers and PPD files, Fiery print options, and locations for setting print options.

About printer drivers and printer description files

The Fiery receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the files, and then sends them to the copier. Windows and Apple Mac OS computers communicate with the Fiery by means of a printer driver and PPD files. Windows computers can also communicate with the Fiery by means of a Printer Control Language (PCL) printer driver and PDD files (PCL’s equivalent of PPD files). Both drivers enable you to use special features of the Fiery from the Print dialog box.

A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those instructions with printer-specific options you set, and then translates all information into Adobe PostScript or PCL, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript or PCL file based on your original file and the options you set from the Print dialog box.

A printer driver also allows you to select print options for your copier. To do this, the printer driver must be matched with a PPD/PDD file for your Fiery. A PPD /PDD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular device (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer driver reads the information in the PPD/PDD file and presents the information to you in the form of options you select in the Print dialog box. The PPD/PDD file for the Fiery includes information about the features of both the copier and the Fiery. For information about the specific print options for the Fiery, see the table on page 10.


About print options

Print options give you access to the special features of your copier and Fiery. Print options can be specified in several places—in Fiery Setup, or from the printing application, ColorWise Pro Tools or Command WorkStation.

Print option override hierarchy

The override hierarchy is as follows:

• A user’s printer driver settings override the Fiery Setup and ColorWise Pro Tools settings.

• Settings made from Command WorkStation and Spooler override the user’s printer driver settings.


Setting print options

• During Setup

Some settings are specified during Setup by the administrator. For information about the current default server settings, contact the administrator or the operator.

• From applications

With the Adobe PostScript printer drivers, you can specify job settings when you print a job. For information about specifying job settings from Windows applications, see

Printing from Windows

. For information about specifying job settings from Mac OS applications, see

Printing from Mac OS

.

• From ColorWise Pro Tools

From ColorWise Pro Tools, you can set the default CMYK Simulation Profile, CMYK Simulation Method, RGB Source Profile, RGB Separation, Output Profile, Rendering Style, Spot Color Matching, Pure Black Text/Graphics, and Black Overprint settings. For more information about using ColorWise Pro Tools, see

Color Printing

.

• Overrides from Command WorkStation

To change job settings from Command WorkStation, double-click a job to display the Properties dialog box.

For more information about Command WorkStation, see Command WorkStation Help.

PTIONS

This chapter explains each print option, default setting, and any constraints or requirements. It also provides details about specific print options.

Fiery print options

In the following table, underlined settings in the Option and settings column indicate default printer driver settings (PPD/PDD defaults). If you do not use the printer driver interface to configure a particular option, the Fiery prints the job with the underlined setting.

For options that you configure in Command WorkStation, WebSetup, or ColorWise Pro Tools, choosing Printer’s default results in the Fiery printing the job with the setting you specified in Setup. For options that cannot be configured in Setup, the Fiery prints the job with a preconfigured Printer’s default setting. For more information, see the Requirements, constraints, and information column in the table.

PRINT OPTIONS 10

To determine the current Setup defaults, print the Configuration page from Command WorkStation.

More about print optionsThe following sections provide additional information about print options. For more information about the settings, requirements, and constraints in effect for these options, see the table on page 9.

Auto Trapping

Use this option to apply the Auto Trapping feature for your print job. When you set this option to On, it ensures proper registration and fit of adjacent colors.

The following illustration is an example of the On and Off settings for Auto Trapping.

Booklet Maker

Use this option to arrange the pages of your print job in special layouts for folding or cutting after printing.

NOTE: The Mac OS 9 printer driver does not support Booklet Maker.

NOTE: Custom Paper Sizes are not supported when creating a booklet.

Off: The job is printed without any booklet imposition features.

Saddle: Choose this setting to print entire documents that are folded and stacked in booklet order. Finished pages can be stapled or stitched across the center fold, or spine.

You can also use Creep to adjust the image shifting that may occur when you print booklet jobs. For more information, see “Creep Adjustment” on page 24.

Perfect: Choose this setting to print separate folded pages that are stacked in booklet order. Finished pages are stitched adjacent to one another for trimming or gluing.

Perfect (Right Binding): This option is the same as Perfect, except that the page order sequence is from right to left.

Gang-Up - Double Print: Choose this setting to print a job so that the data on the first page is duplicated on the first sheet. The next sheet duplicates the data on the second page, and so forth. For example, when each of the printed copies is cut in half, the result is two complete sets of the same document.

NOTE: To use this option you must set the Booklet Maker option to Saddle or Saddle (Right Binding) and the Duplex option to Top-Top.

Duplex

The Fiery copier is equipped for automatic duplex printing. When the Duplex print option is set to one of the duplex settings, the copier automatically turns the paper for printing on the opposite side.

TO PRINT DUPLEX PAGES AUTOMATICALLY

1 Choose Print in your application and locate the Duplex print option.

The location of Fiery print options varies, depending on the printer driver that you use.

2 Choose a Duplex setting.

Top-Top: Prints the top of the image on Side 1 on the same edge of the page as the top of the image on Side 2.

Top-Bottom: Prints the top of the image on Side 1 on the opposite edge of the page from the top of the image on Side 2.

Image Shift

Image Shift allows you to specify how much the image on each page should be shifted relative to the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axis. Moving the job content in this manner enables you to allow for various finishing options, such as stapling and binding. Image Shift prevents the image from being clipped.

NOTE: This option is available in Windows printer drivers or Command WorkStation and Spooler.

NOTE: This option is effective only for jobs in which Layout is set to 1-up.

TO DEFINE IMAGE SHIFT FOR A PRINT JOB

1 In the printer driver, click the Image Shift print option bar.

2 Select the unit of measurement.

3 Type the Front and Back image shift settings in the X and Y axis fields. You can also use the arrow buttons to shift the image settings.

Scale

The operator can specify a scaling override, but the override is applied to any scaling value already set in the active job. For example, if a user sends a job with a scaling value of 50% and the operator specifies a Scale override of 200%, the job is printed at 100% of the original document size, that is, 50% of 200%.
