|
may produce undesirable results. |
|

|
Printing a job with both the Booklet and Scale options active is not supported. |
|
Booklet and Direct queue |
|
You cannot print a job with the Booklet option to the Direct queue. |
|
Collate and multiple copies |
|
If you print multiple copies of a job, deselect both the Collated option in the printer driver |
|
and the Collate option in the application. Otherwise, you may experience unexpected |
|
printing results. |

Mixed Page jobs
When you print a Mixed Page job, check to make sure that the paper size can be printed to the output tray specified. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur.
Stapling Mode and Hole Punch with Mixed Page mode
Jobs with the Stapling Mode and Hole Punch options active and with a different page orientation set in the Mixed Page mode are not supported.
Incompatible combinations of print option settings in Mac OS X v10.2
If you select incompatible combinations of print option settings in the Mac OS X v10.2 printer driver, you are not alerted to this problem (for example, Duplex and Transparency). In general, the job is printed, but the incompatible settings are disregarded by the
Fiery X3e.
Main Tray and A4-R or A5-R jobs in Mac OS 9
In the Mac OS 9 printer driver, if you select A4-R or A5-R for Page Size, you cannot select Main Tray for Output Tray. To select the Main Tray, you must also set the Print Size to A4-R or A5-R.

Booklet for Mac OS 9.x
In the Mac OS 9.x printer driver, the user interface does not allow you to set the Booklet option. A constraint error is reported.
Page Size in Mac OS X v10.2
In the Mac OS X v10.2 printer driver, some Page Size settings are different from those shown in the printer drivers of other operating systems. The Mac OS X v10.2 displays its own page size names for page sizes of particular dimensions:
•8.5x11 = US Letter
•8.5x14 = US Legal
•B4 = JB4
•B5 = JB5
Custom page size for Mac OS
When you select a custom page size for printing on Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X v10.2, the image is rotated 90 degrees.
Landscape jobs in Mac OS X v10.2
In Mac OS X v10.2, if you print a document with a Landscape orientation, you must set the Orientation Override option to Landscape for the job to print correctly.
Staple position for Mac OS
When you print a Landscape document and set a Stapling Mode option on Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X v10.2, the staple position may be different than expected.
Printable area of PCL print jobs
The printable area of a PCL print job is smaller than the same PostScript job by about 4.5mm.
Custom page size maximum print area
Although the maximum input size is 330 x 487mm, the actual maximum print area is 318 x 480mm.
Custom page size minimum printable area
If you enter a custom page width smaller than 100.08, the imageable area is clipped. As a workaround to choose the smallest custom page size, input the values W: 100.08mm and H:148.00mm in the PostScript Custom Page Size Definition dialog box.
Printable area of Wide Paper jobs
If you select the Wide Paper option, the printable area is that of standard paper. To print to the maximum possible area, print to a custom page size.
Printing small original on larger paper size
When the original paper size of a job is small, such as 5.5 x 8.5R, and you set the output size to a larger size, such as 8.5 x 11, you cannot select Hole Punch, Stapling Mode, or Sorter. You also cannot choose Tray 1, Tray 2, or Tray 3 for the Paper Source or Cover Sheet.
Page 4
Auto Select and custom page size
You can select Auto Select for Paper Source and a custom page size from the printer driver, however, you must specify a tray for Paper Source to print a custom page size correctly.
Tab paper
When you set the Page Size option to 8.5x11 Tab or A4 Tab, you must set the Paper Source option to a specific tray loaded with the correct tab stock.
Booklet and page-independent format
If you print a job with the Booklet setting, the document must have a page-independent format. That is, each page needs to have all of the printing information (such as font type). For example, if you print from Acrobat 5.05 and do not select the Print as Image option, the resulting job does not have a page-independent format and cannot be printed with the Booklet setting.
Secure Print and Booklet jobs
If you send more than one copy of a job with Booklet and Secure Print set to the copier, you cannot change the number of copies at the copier when you release the job. If you send only one copy of the job, however, you can override the number of copies from the copier display.
Mixed Media jobs with Offset Group and Duplex or Cover Sheet
Mixed Media jobs with Offset Group and Duplex or Cover Sheet options selected are not supported on the Fiery X3e.
Mixed Media jobs with Back Cover
If you print a Mixed Media job with Back Cover set, the page that precedes the back cover and the back cover may be output from different trays than those specified in the printer driver.
Mixed Media with Chapter Start
If you use the Mixed Media Chapter Start setting, you cannot set the Layout option to anything other than 1-up.
Page Size and Print Size options
If you set the Hole Punch and Stapling Mode options and change the Page Size and Print Size options in the printer driver, you might not be able to print.
Multiple N-up copies
If you print multiple copies of an N-up job from a Windows XP computer, drawn outlines may print on extraneous pages.
N-up and Overlay
If you print using N-up and Overlay at the same time, a PostScript error will occur.
N-up and Duplex
The combination of N-up and Duplex is not supported for Mixed Page jobs.
