Network

Printer Driver

Parallel port performance

On Windows 2000 computers, the performance of the parallel port is slower than expected.
The recommended setting for the computer is ECP mode, but Windows 2000 operates at
the same speed as Standard mode. For faster performance, use ECP mode in
Windows 95/98.

Readme file

After installing the AdobePS driver, read the README.WRI file located on the User
Software CD in the same directory as the other printer files. This file contains information
about potential conflicts between the Adobe driver and other software applications.

Installing the printer driver on Windows 2000

A certification dialog box appears when installing the printer driver on Windows 2000.
Refer to Getting Started for complete instructions on installing the Windows 2000
printer driver.

Point and Print driver installation

Point and Print driver installation is not supported on Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows 2000.

Windows 2000 Feature settings

Feature settings displayed under the General tab in Windows 2000 do not reflect the
current driver settings.

Printing

Disk full error message

When the hard disk drive on the Fiery X3e is full, any print jobs sent to the Fiery X3e will
not print until the current job is finished. You can remove completed jobs from the printed
queue to free up more disk space.

Collating jobs in Applications

Jobs will not collate properly when printing jobs from applications. Disable Collate in the
application you are printing from to avoid undesirable printing results.

Stapling jobs on Mac OS

Staple positions may be opposite of what is specified for your job. When this occurs, use the
Rotate 180 option to correct the staple position.

Job recovery

Jobs cannot be recovered under either of the following circumstances:

• Sending a print job while changing settings in Run Setup on the copier panel.

• Sending a print job from the parallel port of a Windows computer and then immediately
disconnecting the cable between the Windows computer and the copier.

Paper size

When sending a job from an application (such as Microsoft Word) that allows you to
specify paper size in the Print dialog box, be sure to select the same paper size in both the
application’s Page Setup dialog box and the printer’s Properties dialog box.

Scale setting

The scale settings for a job that has been scaled using the printer driver are not reflected in
the job’s Properties dialog box.

Negative

For the Negative printer driver option to function, turn off the Black Overprint and Pure
Black Text and Graphics options.

The Negative, Mirror, Unprintable Area, and Watermark printer driver options are not
supported on Windows NT 4.0.

Stapling

To get stapled output, you must first choose a Sorter Mode.

If you print a job that includes mixed paper sizes with a Stapler Mode setting, the pages are
not printed on the correct paper sizes.

Cover Page

Selecting the Cover Page option in the Mac OS printer driver may produce unexpected
results and may prevent the Duplex options from functioning correctly. If a cover page is
required on Mac OS systems, use the server cover page.

Page Range

You cannot access the Page Range option from the printer driver. Use the application page
range option or change the setting for this option from the Command WorkStation, Fiery
Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler.

Page Order

The default Page Order is Forward.

Sorter

If you print more than 10 copies with a Sorter Mode setting, the copier printer only
10 copies to the sorter bins.

Paper sizes

In the printer drivers for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, the paper sizes “Tabloid”
and “11

In the Windows NT 4.0 printer driver, the default setting for the paper size to use in the
Large Capacity Tray (LCT) differs depending on how you access the driver. If you access the
printer properties from an application, the default for the LCT tray is Letter (or A4 in
Europe). However, if you right-click the printer icon first and then choose Properties >
Device Settings > Form To Tray Assignment > LCT, the default is Tabloid (or A3 in
Europe). You can manually change the default to the correct size, which is Letter (or A4
in Europe).

17” are both listed, although these names refer to the same paper size.
