Preface
You can use the Fiery X3e 20C-M Color Server™ to print final documents or to proof
jobs you will later print on an offset press. You send a print job to the Fiery X3e 20CM Color Server as you would to any other printer—you 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.

xv How the Fiery X3e works
How the Fiery X3e works
The Fiery X3e receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) those
files, and then sends them to the copier’s print engine for printing. Even with the
Fiery X3e installed, you can still use the copier to make copies.
Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the Fiery X3e by means of a
PostScript printer driver and PostScript printer description (PPD) files. The driver
enables you to use special features of the Fiery X3e from the Print dialog box.
About printer drivers and PPDs
A printer driver manages printing communication between your application software
and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application software,
merges those instructions with printer-specific PPD options you specify , and translates
all that information into PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other
words, the printer driver writes a PostScript file based on your original file and the
options you set from the Print dialog box.
A PPD file contains information about a particular device’s features and capabilities
(for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer driver r eads
the information in the PPD file and presents that information to you in the form of
options you can choose from the Print dialog box. The PPD for the Fiery X3e includes
information about the features of both the copier and the Fiery X3e.
For information on the PPD options, see Appendix A.

xvi Preface
Before you begin
Before using the Fiery X3e, follow these steps:
1. Confirm that the system administrator has completed Setup as described in the
Configuration Guide
2. Find out what printer defaults the administrator specified in Setup.
These default settings can affect the results of your print jobs. Check with your
administrator or operator for information on these default settings.
3. Confirm that the user software is installed correctly on y our workstation, as described
in
Getting Started
.
.
4. Consult the
affect color output.
5. Find out how your workstation is configured for printing on the network.
Color Guide
for information on print options and application features that
If your site has an operator who controls all printing, you may have access to the Hold
queue only. In this case, all jobs you send are spooled to the Fiery X3e and held until
the operator sends them to their next stage of processing.
You may also have access to the Print queue. If you send jobs to this queue, jobs spool
to the Fiery X3e and proceed to RIP and print according to your job settings—unless
someone (you, or an operator, for example) intervenes.
Lastly, you may have access to the Direct connection, which sends jobs straight to the
server without spooling.
6. Find out whether the Fiery X3e is set up to use Fiery WebTools and what your access
privileges are.
The administrator may or may not have enabled access to the server via the Internet
(or an intranet). If access is enabled, a password may be required to utilize certain
functions.

Chapter 1:
Printing from
Windows
Computers
This chapter describes how to print to the Fiery X3e from Windows 95/98/Me,
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. You can print from a networked Windows
computer, from a computer using Windows (SMB) printing, or from a Windows
computer connected to the parallel port on the Fiery X3e. If you plan to print files at
another location, follow the procedures described in “Saving files to print at a remote
location” on page 1-20.
Another way to print from a Windows computer is to download PostScript,
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), or Portable Document Format (PDF) files using Fiery
Downloader or WebDownloader. Basic instructions are provided at the end of this
chapter.

Chapter 3:
Printing
from UNIX
Workstations
You can print to the Fiery X3e directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed to the
Fiery X3e are sent to the Print or Hold queue and can be manipulated from the
Command WorkStation or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network
using Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler.
NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from the Command
WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the
Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.
The queue name and Fiery X3e printer name are determined by your system
administrator. Contact your system administrator for the names of your queues.
For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.
NOTE: Only PostScript or text files can be printed from UNIX.
Printing to the Fiery X3e
You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript and text files to the Fiery X3e. In
general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to the Fiery X3e.
See UNIX manual pages or other documentation for information about UNIX
commands.
NOTE: Only PostScript or text files can be printed from UNIX.
TOPRINTFROM UNIX:
•On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the Fiery X3e as follows:
lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies><filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery X3e is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample
Page 46
3-2 Printing from UNIX Workstations

•On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lp
command to send a job to the Fiery X3e as follows:
lp -d <printername> {-n <copies>} <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery X3e is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lp -d print_Server -n 2 Sample
TODISPLAYALISTOFJOBSINTHEQUEUE:
•On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpq command
to see printer jobs in the queue as follows:
lpq <-Pprinter>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery X3e is named print_Server, type:
lpq -Pprint_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
•On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lpstat command to see printer jobs in the queue as follows:
lpstat -o <printername>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery X3e is named print_Server, type:
lpstat -o print_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
Page 47
3-3 Printing to the Fiery X3e

TOREMOVEJOBSFROMTHEQUEUE:
NOTE: Unless you log in as the root user, you can remove only your own jobs.
•On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lprm command
to remove jobs from the queue as follows.
lprm <-Pprinter><job #…>
You can use the lpq command to check the job number.
For example, to remove job number 123 from the Print queue of your Fiery X3e
named print_Server, type:
lprm -Pprint_Server 123
The lprm command reports the names of any files it removes.
•On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
cancel command to remove jobs from the queue.
cancel <printername> <job ID>
For example, to remove job number 123 from the Print queue of your Fiery X3e
named print_Server, type:
cancel print_Server 123

Chapter 4:
Special Features
This chapter describes some of the special features supported by the Fiery X3e
including:
• Printing simulations
• Printing duplex pages
• Scanning images from the copier using Fiery Scan
• Scanning from the copier with Scanner Mode
Printing simulations
You can use the Fiery X3e to proof offset press jobs or to simulate the output of other
print devices by specifying settings for two print options: CMYK Simulation Profile
and CMYK Simulation Method. These options affect CMYK data only.
The Fiery X3e provides CMYK Simulation targets for the major international press
standards: SWOP, DIC, and Euroscale. You can also create, save, and import custom
simulation profiles using ColorWise Pro Tools (see the Color Guide).
• When printing simulations on the Fiery X3e, choose the CMYK Simulation Profile
setting corresponding to the press standard for which the CMYK data was prepared,
or choose a custom simulation profile.
• To simulate the color of a copy made from the copier glass, choose the Match Copy
setting. This setting bypasses Fiery X3e calibration.

Chapter 5:
Downloading
Files and Fonts
Fiery Downloader allows you to send PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), and
Portable Document Format (PDF) files directly to the Fiery X3e without using the
application they were created in. It also enables you to manage printer fonts on the
Fiery X3e.
You can use Fiery Downloader from a remote workstation as well as from the
Command WorkStation. Fiery Downloader requires a network connection you cannot
use Fiery Downloader with the parallel port. For information on installing and
configuring Fiery Downloader and on supported networking protocols, see Getting Started.
NOTE: The Windows and Mac OS versions of Fiery Downloader are fundamentally the
same; differences are noted in this section. Where both windows or dialog boxes are
illustrated, the Windows version comes first, followed by the Mac OS version.
You can also use the WebDownloader WebTool to download a PostScript, EPS. See
“Downloading files with WebDownloader” on page 6-4.
Using Fiery Downloader
You can use Fiery Downloader to:
• Print PostScript, EPS, and PDF files to the Fiery X3e
• Check the status of the Fiery X3e
• Manage the printer fonts stored on the Fiery X3e hard disk (this feature requires that
the Direct connection is published on the Fiery X3e)
NOTE: Fiery Downloader was designed specifically for the Fiery X3e; you cannot use it
with any other printer. You can use standard LaserWriter downloaders, such as the
Adobe Font Downloader, with the Fiery X3e.

The options available to you in this menu depend on the setup at your site. The
potential selections are Print Queue (Windows) or Print (Mac OS), Hold Queue
(Windows) or Hold (Mac OS), and Direct Connection (Windows) or Direct
(Mac OS). If your administrator has not enabled one or more of these connections,
you cannot select it.
PDF files cannot be printed with the Direct connection. If you choose the Direct
connection, the job is spooled to the Print queue and then printed. If the Print queue
is not enabled, the job is spooled to the Hold queue and must be released for printing
by the operator.
NOTE: To download fonts, you must use the Direct connection (make sure that the
Direct connection is published on the Fiery X3e). If you do not have access to the
Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file in the file when
you generate it.

Downloading and managing printer fonts
The Fiery X3e includes 136 PostScript fonts; for a complete list, see Appendix B. In
addition, two Adobe Multiple Master fonts are included and are used for font
substitution in PDF files.
Before downloading a file that uses fonts not resident on the Fiery X3e, you must
download the fonts (unless the fonts are embedded in the file). To see what fonts are
resident on the Fiery X3e, choose Font List from the File menu or click the Font List
button (see page 5-10).
You can download fonts only via the Direct connection. If you do not have access to
the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file in the file
when you generate it.
The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the Fiery X3e are not
automatically installed on your Windows system.
NOTE: You cannot use Fiery Downloader to download TrueType fonts. If you use
TrueType fonts in Windows, you can print them by converting them to Adobe Type 1
fonts. To do this with the Adobe PS printer driver for Windo ws 95/98, click the Fonts
tab and set up the Font Substitution Table as necessary. For Windows NT 4.0, go to
the PostScript Advanced tab of the Fiery X3e Document Defaults dialog box, then
select Graphic>TrueType Font>Download as Softfont.
Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts
Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Fiery X3e come in two forms:
printer fonts and screen fonts. The printer fonts are installed permanently on the
Fiery X3e hard disk. The screen fonts, which are included with the Fiery X3e user
software, should be installed on your Mac OS computer . I f you are using these fonts in
documents you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, you
will need to install them yourself. For instructions, see Getting Started.
Page 69
5-9 Using Fiery Downloader
5
Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS)
fonts that are not included with the Fiery X3e. If so, you will need to install both the
screen fonts and the printer fonts on your computer . To do this, follow the instructions
from the font manufacturer.
Downloading printer fonts to the Fiery X3e
In general, each time you print from within a Mac OS application, the application
automatically downloads any fonts used in your document that are not already
installed on the Fiery X3e, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your
System Folder. These fonts remain in the Fiery X3e only until your document has
printed. If you print the same document again, your application must download the
fonts again.
If you regularly use one or more fonts from Windo ws or Mac OS applications that are
not already installed in the Fiery X3e, you can save time by downloading them to the
Fiery X3e hard disk with Fiery Downloader . F onts you download to the F iery X3e hard
disk remain installed until you remove them using Fiery Downloader, no matter how
many times the Fiery X3e is turned off and on. Download fonts you use on a regular
basis to the Fiery X3e hard disk.
Before you download P ostScript or EPS files with F iery Downloader, make sure that all
fonts included in your file are installed on the Fiery X3e or embedded in your file;
otherwise the text in these fonts will not print correctly and may not print at all. For
PDF files, font substitution occurs automatically for fonts not installed on the
Fiery X3e. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored on the
Fiery X3e are used exclusively for substitution with PDF files.
•Choose Font List from the File menu or click the Font List button.

Appendix A:
Print Options
Print options give you access to all the special features of your copier and Fiery X3e.
Print options can be specified in several places—in F iery X3e Setup, fr om the printing
application, from Fiery Downloader, from ColorWise Pro Tools, from the Command
WorkStation, from Fiery WebSpooler, and from Fiery Spooler. The table in this
appendix briefly describes each print option, gives its default setting, and provides
information on any constraints or requirements in effect.
Where to set print options
• From the Control Panel
Some settings are specified during Setup by the administrator. For information on
the current default server settings, check with the administrator or the operator.
NOTE: Some color settings, for example RGB Source Profile, CMYK Simulation
Profile, and RGB Separation, can be set only in Setup or with Color Setup, one of the
ColorWise Pro Tools.
• From applications
With the Adobe PostScript printer drivers, you can specify job settings when you
print a job. See Chapters 1 and 2 for information about specifying job settings from
applications.
• From Fiery Downloader
Only a few settings—Copies, Page Range (for PDF files only), and Brightness (for
PostScript and EPS files only)—can be specified when printing jobs with Fiery
Downloader. To change options in Fiery Downloader, select a job in the Files to be
Downloaded (Windows) or F iles to Download (M ac OS) list and click Options. For
more information, see Chapter 5.
• From ColorWise Pro Tools
You can set the default RGB Source Profile, CMYK Simulation Profile, Output
Profile, CMYK Simulation Method, and RGB Separation settings. See the Color Guide for more information on using ColorWise Pro Tools.
Page 84
A-2 Print Options
A
• From the job’s Properties or Override Print Settings dialog box, available from
Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, or Fiery Spooler
To change a job’s settings from the Command WorkStation, double-click the job to
display the Properties dialog box. To change job settings from Fiery WebSpooler and
from Fiery Spooler, double-click a job to display the Override Print Settings dialog
box. For more information, see the Job Management Guide.
Print options and override hierarchy
The override hierarchy is as follows:
• Job settings made from the user’s printer driver override the Fiery X3e Setup and
ColorWise Pro Tools settings.
• Job settings made from Command WorkStation, Fiery W ebSpooler, or Fiery Spooler
override the user’s printer driver settings.
Default settings
In the following table, underlined settings in the “Option and settings” column
indicate default printer driver settings (PPD defaults). In other words, if you do not
use the printer driver interface to configure a particular option, the Fiery X3e prints
the job with the underlined setting.
For options that can be configured during Setup from the Control Panel, Command
WorkStation,ColorWise Pro Tools, or WebSetup, choosing Printer’s default results in
the Fiery X3e printing the job with the Setup setting specified. For options that cannot
be configured during Setup, the Fiery X3e prints the job with a pre-configured
Printer’s default setting. For more information, see the “Requirements, constraints, and
information” column.
To find out about the current Setup defaults, print the Configuration page from the
Command WorkStation or from the Fiery X3e Control Panel.

More information about print options
The following sections provide additional information about print options. See the
table above for information on the settings, requirements, and constraints in effect for
these options.
Black Overprint
When printing black text in combination with a color background or graphics, the text
can be printed in one of two ways: either as part of the color background, or on top of
the color background. Black Overprint allows you to choose a specific way to print the
black text for such a job.
Off—Prints the black text with knockouts. The Fiery X3e first prints the color
background with the black text areas ‘knocked out’ (no color is printed in the text
areas); the black text is then printed in the knocked out area, filling in the areas not
printed in color. The result is a flatter appearance for the black text.
On—Overprint the black text. Used in combination with the Pur e Black Text/Graphics
option, the Fiery X3e first prints the full color background, then lays the black text on
top of the color background as 100% K toner. The result is a darker and glossier
appearance for the black text. Overprinting also minimizes misregistration and
‘haloing’ problems.

CMYK Simulation Profile
CMYK Simulation Profile allows you to change the simulation goal for the current
print job. As the job begins processing, the simulation goal selected in CMYK
Simulation Profile is applied before printing.
NOTE: Choosing Printer’s default results in the job being printed with the simulation
goal currently set on the Fiery X3e.
SWOP-Coated—Uses the United States press standard.
DIC—Uses the Japanese press standard.
Euroscale—Uses the European press standard.
Simulation-1 (2,3,4,5...10)—Uses a custom simulation goal. Before selecting this
setting, you are required to create a new simulation goal with ColorWise P ro T ools and
link the new simulation to one of the custom simulation names, e.g.- Simulation-1.
None—Uses no simulation goal. Select this setting when the CMYK data for your job
has already been separated for your specific printer (for example, when using the Color
Management System built into your computer to convert the CMYK data to the
printer’s color space).
Match Copy—Uses no calibration or simulation goal. Select this setting when printing
images imported with Fiery Scan (with the Color Conversion option set to
Match Copy), or when you want to bypass Fiery X3e calibration and simulation.
For more information about simulation and calibration, see the Color Guide.
Combine Separations
The Combine Separations option specifies whether to combine color separations
created in desktop publishing applications on a single page to simulate printing on a
press from film separations. It allows you to proof overprinting, trapping, and other
four-color printing effects before having film separations created. It also enables you to
combine Desktop Color Separations (DCS) format files to print them at full resolution
instead of printing the low-resolution master file.
Y our job must have been printed as color separations or DCS format when y ou printed
it from your application. If you did not print the job in this manner, the Combine
Separations option has no effect.
NOTE: This option is supported only for Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress.
