3-1 Printing to the Fiery X3e

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 queues and can be manipulated from Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE, or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network using Fiery Spooler.

NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from Command

WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.

For more information on using Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler, see the Job Management Guide.

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.

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. For information about UNIX commands, see the UNIX manual pages or other documentation.

NOTE: Only PostScript and ASCII text ﬁles can be printed from UNIX.

Page 58

3-2 Printing from UNIX Workstations

TO PRINT FROM 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

• 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

TO DISPLAY A LIST OF JOBS IN THE QUEUE

• 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 59

3-3 Printing to the Fiery X3e

TO REMOVE JOBS FROM THE QUEUE

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

If not, you must install them. For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

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 must install both the screen fonts and the printer fonts on your computer. To do this, follow the instructions from the font manufacturer.

Page 71

4-11 Using Fiery Downloader or WebDownloader

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 Windows 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 drive with Fiery Downloader. Fonts you download to the Fiery X3e hard disk drive remain installed until you remove them using Fiery Downloader, no matter how many times the Fiery X3e is turned off and on. Consider downloading fonts you use on a regular basis to the Fiery X3e hard disk drive.

Before you download PostScript, TIFF, or EPS ﬁles with Fiery Downloader, make sure 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 or 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.

5-1 About variable data printing

Chapter 5: Printing Variable Data Documents

This chapter describes the variable data printing features supported by the Fiery X3e, including:

•Background information about variable data printing

•Printing variable data documents using FreeForm™and FreeForm 2

About variable data printing

Variable data printing is typically used for direct-mail advertising or other targeted mailings. It involves combining a set of master elements that are common across copies of a document with a set of variable elements that change from copy to copy. An example is a brochure that greets customers by name and may include other personal information about the customer obtained from a marketing database. Background elements, illustrations, and text blocks that do not change across copies of the brochure comprise the master elements. The customer’s name and other customer-speciﬁc information comprise the variable elements.

The FreeForm feature allows you to use print options to deﬁne and store master-element documents—called FreeForm masters—on the Fiery X3e. You can send a variable-element job to the Fiery X3e with instructions to combine the job with a particular FreeForm master.

NOTE: The FreeForm print options are not available in the PCL printer driver.

The FreeForm 2 feature allows you to assign speciﬁc page rules of a FreeForm master to each page of a variable job. To use FreeForm 2, you must create and print the variable job in a popular variable data printing application, such as PrintShop Mail.

You cannot use the following print option and setting when printing variable data:

•Optimize Power Point to On

For more information, see Appendix A.

Page 74

5-2 Printing Variable Data Documents

Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

In FreeForm variable data printing, you can use print options to deﬁne master documents and assign them to variable data jobs sent to the Fiery X3e.

How FreeForm works

The basic premise of FreeForm variable data printing is that the master-element data for the job can be sent to the Fiery X3e and rasterized separately from the variable-element data. The master-element data is stored on the Fiery X3e in rasterized form as a FreeForm master, and can be used as often as needed with multiple sets of variable-element data. Because the FreeForm master job is preRIPped and stored on the Fiery X3e, the only RIP time required for variable data print jobs is the time needed to RIP the variable-element data. You can use FreeForm masters for any ﬁxed-element data you might combine with different data from day to day. For example, a letterhead template can be stored as a FreeForm master and used repeatedly as the background for different letter content (the variable-element data).

FreeForm allows you to create the master and variable documents using any application. You can create the two documents using different applications or computer platforms. To create the master document, you can use a page layout or graphics application. To create the variable document, you can use a word processing application that has a mail merge feature, a page layout application that supports scripting, or a database application.

FreeForm functions are controlled with two print options: Create Master and Use Master. You can set these options in the printer driver when you send a job, or instruct the operator to set them with job overrides from Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler. You can also use Command WorkStation/ Command WorkStation LE to monitor and manage all the FreeForm masters stored on the Fiery X3e. For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

Page 75

Space for variable elements

Unchanging master elements

5-3 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

Creating the master document

Before you can use FreeForm, you must create a master document and a variable document. This includes creating the layout for the combined document, as well as the elements themselves. In a page layout or graphics program, you arrange the master elements (text and graphics that do not change) on one or more pages, leaving space for the variable elements.

Master document

When you have ﬁnalized the design of the master document, print it to the Fiery X3e and specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see page 5-8).

NOTE: Although the Fiery X3e can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printer driver

interface and Fiery Spooler allow you to select numbers 1 through 15 only. To create a FreeForm master with a number greater than 15, the operator must set the Create Master and Use Master options and RIP the job from Command WorkStation/ Command WorkStation LE.

Page 76

5-4 Printing Variable Data Documents

Creating the variable document

You can create the variable document with a word processing application that provides a mail merge function, a database application, or a page layout application that supports scripting. In all cases, information is taken from a list or database and merged into an existing document that is set up to accept the information. Each application has different controls for this function; for detailed instructions, see the application documentation.

Before the variable elements can be added to the master document, they must be formatted to conform to the layout of the master document. To do this, you create a document with the correct formatting, and then add the variable information in the appropriate places.

For efﬁcient variable data printing, create a variable document that has signiﬁcantly more pages than its corresponding FreeForm master.

Variable element

Variable document

When you have created a variable document, print it to the Fiery X3e and specify that it be combined with the corresponding FreeForm master (see page 5-9).

Page 77

5-5 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

Combining the FreeForm master with the variable document

When you print a variable document to the Fiery X3e, you specify the FreeForm master created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The Fiery X3e combines the raster data of the variable document with the already RIPped FreeForm master, creating a new raster data ﬁle. The merged raster ﬁle can be soft-proofed (before it is printed) in the thumbnail windows of Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler.

For more information about soft-prooﬁng and thumbnail windows of Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE, see the Job Management Guide.

Combined document

A master document can include more than one page. When you print a variable document and specify a FreeForm master that contains multiple pages, the variable pages are combined with the master pages in a cyclical fashion. The following example illustrates how a variable document combines with a two-page master document.

Page 78

5-6 Printing Variable Data Documents

Pages 1 and 2 of the variable document are combined with pages 1 and 2, respectively, of the master document. The cycle of master pages then starts over, and pages 3 and 4 of the variable document are combined respectively with pages 1 and 2, again, of the master document. This pattern continues for each subsequent set of pages in the variable document.

Multiple-page master document

Page 79

5-7 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

Using FreeForm

This section provides some suggestions to help you print variable data jobs correctly.

• Consult your administrator or operator on how FreeForm master numbers are

assigned at your site.

If FreeForm printing is used by a large number of users at your site, FreeForm master numbers, or ranges of numbers, can be assigned to speciﬁc users or groups. Users can select only numbers 1 through 15 as print option settings. The operator can override FreeForm master numbers and reassign them to numbers greater than 15 from Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE. You may want the operator to assign all FreeForm master numbers to avoid potential conﬂicts in the use of FreeForm master numbers.

•Use the Job Notes and Instructions ﬁelds to communicate instructions about your

job to the operator.

If you want to create or use a FreeForm master number greater than 15, these ﬁelds can be used to tell the operator to override the appropriate job setting (Create Master or Use Master) and RIP the job from Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE.

•Give your jobs unique and descriptive names.

Both you and the operator must be able to easily identify your jobs if there are many jobs in the queues, the FreeForm master numbers are reassigned, or you want to refer to another job in the Job Notes or Instructions ﬁelds.

•For restrictions on print option settings when using FreeForm, see Appendix A.

The following settings for the master document and variable document must match:

Color Mode Page Size

Page 80

5-8 Printing Variable Data Documents

The following settings for the variable document might override the corresponding settings in the master document:

Duplex Paper Type Paper Source Save Fast Reprint Sorter Mode Stapling Mode

NOTE: The Top Binding print option of the Duplex setting has no effect when printing

using FreeForm.

TO PRINT VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS

1. Create a master document.

The following example shows one page of a master document for a tri-fold brochure that was created with a page layout application.

Page 81

5-9 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

2. Print the master document to the Fiery X3e with the Create Master print option set to

3. Create the variable document.

one of the FreeForm Master numbers (1 through 15).

Or, set the Create Master option to None and instruct the operator to use overrides to create a FreeForm master from this job.

You can create the variable document using a different ﬁle, a different application, or a different computer platform than was used to create the master document, but some print options must be the same (for details see page 5-7).

The following example shows one page of the variable document for the tri-fold brochure. The data in this document can be as simple as a name and address, or as complex as multiple, full-color graphics and photographic elements.

4. Print the variable document to the Fiery X3e with the Use Master print option set to the appropriate FreeForm master number.

The FreeForm master number may be one you set when you sent the master document, or one that was assigned by the operator.

Page 82

5-10 Printing Variable Data Documents

FreeForm master numbers can be overridden from Command WorkStation/ Command WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler. Check with the operator to make sure that the FreeForm master number you specify is the correct one for the FreeForm master you want to use.

If you want to check the job before it prints, instruct the operator to RIP and Hold the job so you can preview it from Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler.

The following example shows the FreeForm master and variable document combined. The variable data is simply overlaid on the master document.

Printing variable data documents with FreeForm 2

Freeform 2 extends the functionality of variable data documents using a third-party application that supports FreeForm 2 such as PrintShop Mail which allows you to create and print variable data documents.

To print a variable data job using FreeForm 2, you ﬁrst open the variable document in the third-party application.The third-party application provides FreeForm 2 features that allow you to assign a speciﬁc page of a FreeForm master to each page of the variable document.

Freeform 2 enables you to specify page conditions that determine rules for individual Master pages. These rules, described by if and then statements in each Master page, can allow you to skip or print pages within a Master ﬁle. For more information on creating page conditions, see the documentation that came with the third-party printing software.

For instructions on creating a variable data job or printing variable data jobs using FreeForm 2 and the third-party variable data printing software, see the documentation that came with the third-party printing software.

FreeForm 2 also provides the option to delete a speciﬁed FreeForm master from the Fiery X3e hard disk drive after its corresponding variable job has been successfully RIPped and printed. You can set this feature in a third-party application that supports the clearing of FreeForm masters. For more information on deleting FreeForm masters, see the documentation that came with the third-party printing software.
