For information on how to use Fiery Downloader, see the Printing Guide.

Fonts

The Fonts installer on the User Software CD includes screen and printer fonts that
correspond to the 136 built-in PostScript printer fonts on the Fiery. The Font installer
copies both kinds of fonts to the System folder:Fonts folder on your hard disk. To be
available to applications, the screen fonts must remain in the System:Fonts folder. The
printer fonts can be copied to a folder of your choice.

NOTE: In the System:Fonts folder, when displayed by Kind, screen fonts appear as type

“Font Suitcase” and PostScript printer fonts appear as type “PostScript™ font”.

TO INSTALL SCREEN AND PRINTER FONTS:

1. On the User Software CD, double click the Fonts icon to launch the Fonts installer.

2. Click Install.

By default the fonts are installed to the System folder:Fonts folder on your hard disk.
If you have any applications open, you must quit and relaunch them before the newly

installed screen fonts are available.

Copying color files from the User Software CD

You can copy additional color files from the User Software CD to your hard disk.
Many of the files are PostScript files that you can download and print using
Fiery Downloader.

The User Software CD contains the following color files:

Color Files folder
(inside the
English folder)

Calibration
folder
(inside Color
Files folder)

CMYK Color Reference.ps, an 11-page, letter-size PostScript
file to use for reference when defining CMYK colors in
applications.

PANTONE Book.ps, a 19-page, letter-size PostScript file that
indicates the closest equivalent of PANTONE coated colors
that the Fiery and your particular copier model can produce.
The method used to print the PANTONE Book.ps file differs
depending on the Spot Color Matching setting. For more
information, see the Printing Guide and the Color Guide.

RGB page 01, a file you can print from Microsoft Word 6.0 or
later to view available RGB colors.

RGB page 02, a file you can print from PowerPoint 4.0 or later
to view available RGB colors.

Four PostScript measurements files of color patches:
custom21.ps, custom.34.ps standard21.ps and standard34.ps.
The numbers in the file names refer to the number of patches
on the page. The Custom files are provided to enable you to
download measurement patches that ignore the copier’s
current calibration set. For information on how to use these
files, see the Color Guide.

NOTE: These files are provided for expert users and should not

be used for day-to-day calibration.

Loading ICC profiles

The ICC profiles installed by the ColorSync installer are for use with ColorWise Pro
Tools and applications that support ICM standards.

The following instructions assume that you have already installed the ICC profiles
included on the User Software CD. For more information, see “Installing ColorSync
and utility software” on page 57.

NOTE: The internal name of an ICC profile may vary slightly from its file name.

TO SET THE COLORSYNC SYSTEM PROFILE:

1. Choose Control Panels>ColorSync from the Apple Menu.

2. Select EFIRGB ICC v1f from the System Profile list.

When selected as the ColorSync system profile, EFIRGB ICC v1f sets the optimal
source color space for printing to the Fiery. The color space set by the EFIRGB ICC
v1f profile is the same as that set by the EFIRGB setting of the RGB Source Profile
print option.

NOTE: The RGB Source Profile print option setting overrides the ColorSync system

profile setting.

3. Close the ColorSync window.

For information on using the ICC copier profile installed by the ColorSync installer,
see your software application’s documentation.
