Introduction
The Fiery X3e is used to print final documents or proof jobs that will be printed later
on an offset press. You can send a print job to the Fiery X3e as you would to any other
printer—select it from the Printers dialog box on Microsoft Windows computers, or in
the Chooser on Apple Mac OS computers, and then print from within any
application.

Chapter 1: Printing from Windows Computers
This chapter describes printing to the Fiery X3e from Windows computers. You can
print from a networked Windows computer or a computer using Windows (WINS)
printing. You can also save files to print at a remote location.
You can print from a Windows computer in many ways. You can download PostScript
(PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), Portable
Document Format (PDF), or PCL files using Fiery Downloader, or print documents
using the Fiery E-mail Service. For supported file versions, see the
Installation Guide

Setting options and printing from Windows computers
To print from Windows computers, select the PCL printer driver or install the
corresponding Adobe PostScript printer driver. Both drivers are included on the
Fiery X3e User Software CD.
Once the PCL printer driver and printer description file, or the Adobe PostScript
printer driver and printer description file (PPD) are installed, you can specify print
settings for a particular job and print it to the Fiery X3e. You can also set default print
settings using the driver.
To print from Windows applications by connecting your computer to a print server via
the network, a Novell NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, or UNIX server is required. For
more information, see the
To print from Windows applications without connecting to a print server,
you can use Server Message Block (SMB) printing. For more information, see the
