ColorWise™ CRDs (color rendering dictionaries) take full advantage of the colors
available on your printer. PostScript 3 RGB files are converted to the printer’s
CMYK color space during processing—optimizing them for rendering and
printing. CRDs available with the PostScript driver include:
• Photographic
• Presentation
• Transparency
Using the P ostScript driver an image ’s RGB data can be also converted to the color
space and gamut of the Ci1000 printer using RGB source profiles. Profiles
available include:
• EFIRGB
• sRGB (PC)
• Apple Standard
In addition, CMYK simulation settings can be used to simulate popular offset
printing press standards. Simulation settings include:
•SWOP
• Euroscale
• DIC
Color management
ColorWise VisualCal™ allows experienced users to calibrate the Ci1000 for
excellent color output—eliminating out-of-calibration color most printers
experience over time.

6.When you have installed all the toner cartridges, go to step 7.
7.Close the right side door.
Loading media
The printer is shipped with one media tray (either Letter Paper or A4 Paper)
installed—but it capable of using five different trays as shown in the following
table.
Tray:Size:
A4 Paper210 mm x 297 mm (8.3" x 11.7")
A4 Transparency210 mm x 297 mm (8.3" x 11.7")
Letter Paper216 mm x 279 mm (8.5" x 11")
Letter Transparency216 mm x 279 mm (8.5" x 11")
Legal Paper216 mm x 356 mm (8.5" x 14")
NOTE: Make sure that you load the correct media. Each tray is designed and
labeled for only paper or transparency. If you load the incorrect media type in a
tray, it may cause a jam.
If you have the 2nd cassette feeder installed and you wish to use the automatic
cassette-switching feature (for a large print job, for example), make sure that all
trays in the printer are the same media type and size.
The transparency tray should only be inserted in the upper or middle tray slots.
Page 32
2-6Printer Setup

avoid media jams or skewed printing.
Page 33
2
2-7Setting up the printer
NOTE: To optimize your printer’s performance, always use clean, unused media.
Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the media, which can result in a smudged
print.
Reusing media that has been fed through the printer once (for example, after
jams) can reduce the life of the consumables and paper path components.
The recommended transparency is 3M CG3700. If the print quality is poor, try
printing on the other side.
5.Place the media in the tray under the hooks. The height of media should not
exceed the limit mark on the tray, or it may cause a jam.
N
OTE: Load media with the print side down. Most media has instructions
recommending the side to be printed first.
Do not mix different types or thicknesses of media in the media tray at one time;
this may cause a jam.
6.Slide the media tray completely into the slot.
Connecting the printer to a computer
Only one PC compatible computer can be directly connected to your printer.

The printer’s control panel enables you to set options and view the status of the
printer and print jobs. This section provides information about:
• Status messages and error messages
• Top-level menus you can access from the control panel
• Printing printer information pages from the control panel
This section describes the functions of the control panel, illustrated below:
The 2-line, 32-character LCD window on the control panel displays status
messages.When the printer is printing normally, status information about the
current jobs appear in the display window.
For a detailed explanation of the activity lights and buttons on the control panel,
see page 1-10.
Status messages
When the printer is printing normally, status information about current jobs
appears in the display window. The messages are:
• READY—Displays while the printer is ready to print but not processing or
printing a job.
• PRINTING—Displays while a job is printing.
• PROCESSING—Displays while the job is processing.

2-16Printer Setup
• CANCELING JOB—Appears when you cancel a print job.
• POWER SAVER MODE—Appears when the printer is in an energy-saving mode.
This mode can reduce the total power consumption of the printer to less than
45 watts. Full power mode is restored when the printer receives a job or when
you press the Menu button and print a page at the printer
Before the printer can print after being in POWER SAVER MODE, it needs to warm
up to heat up the fuser. The actual warm-up time depends on how long the
printer has been in power saver mode. If the printer has been in POWER SAVER
MODE
power saver mode for a long time, the warm-up period will be longer.

Chapter 3:
Connecting
the Printer
to a Network
This chapter describes how to connect your printer to a network. You can connect
the printer to your network with thicknet, twisted pair, or thinnet. You can also
connect your printer directly to a PC compatible through the parallel port.
This chapter provides information about:
• Ethernet network connections (page 3-1)
• Token Ring network connections (page 3-3)
• Parallel cable connection (page 3-3)
• Setting up TCP/IP clients for printing (page 3-10)
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
• Setting up IPX (Novell) printing (page 3-13)
IPX stands for Internet Packet Exchange.
• Setting up Windows clients for SMB printing (page 3-23 and page 3-25)
SMB stands for Server Message Block.
After you have connected the printer to the network, follow the setup instructions
in “Setup from the Control Panel and WebSetup” on page 6-1.
Network connections
This section describes the types of network connections supported by the Ci1000.
Optional network cards are available from your M ita dealer . F or more information
on upgrade options, see Chapter 8.
Ethernet network connections
• Thinnet (thin coaxial cable or 10Base2)
Uses an external transceiver (media access unit, or MAU) to attach to the AUI
(attachment unit interface) connector on the printer.
• Thicknet (thick coaxial cable or 10Base5)

Cable connects directly to the AUI connector on the printer.
• Twisted pair (Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable or 100BaseTX)
Uses 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the printer.
NOTE: Category 3, unshielded twisted pair cable is supported on 10BaseT
networks.
NOTE: Shut off the printer before connecting it to any network device. Only one
Ethernet connection should be made to the printer at a time.

Token Ring network connections
The printer supports the following type of Token Ring connection:
• Unshielded twisted pair (Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable or
100BaseTX) cable that plugs into the UTP socket on the printer.
• Shielded twisted pair (STP) cable that plugs into the DB 9-pin connector on
the printer.
•With the printer turned off, connect the cable from the Token Ring MAU (Media
Attachment Unit) to the Token Ring card.
N
OTE: A Media Attachment Unit (MAU) is a network hub for a Token Ring
Network.
•With the printer turned off, connect the STP cable from the Token Ring MAU to
the DB-9 STP connector on the Token Ring card.
Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over the network, the printer can accept print
jobs directly from an IBM compatible computer through its high-speed,
Centronics compatible parallel port. This connection is also advantageous for
workstations on dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/
IP, or IPX.

Setting up TCP/IP printing
TCP/IP provides network services for high-speed local and wide area networks
and heterogeneous environments including PC compatibles, Macintosh
computers, minicomputers, and mainframes running diverse operating systems.
The printer supports the lpr protocol for printing over TCP/IP networks.
Network users submit print jobs to a named printer. Workstations on a TCP/IP
network can print directly to the printer , or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server
or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.
Before you install the printer on a T CP/IP networ k, you need to obtain a I nternet
unique Internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator for this
information.
Page 51
3
3-5Setting up TCP/IP printing
Setting up the printing environment
To set up printing on a TCP/IP network, the network administrator must follow
these steps:
•Specify the appropriate system and network settings in the printer’s Setup
menus.
The administrator must enter a valid IP address for the printer, and the gateway
address and subnet mask if they are used.
‘Print spooling is the process of sending a print jobs to a defined location on a
hard disk, in this case the Print or H old queues. P rinters without a har d disk drive
can only receive print jobs over the Direct connection. Jobs sent to the Direct
connection are transferred from the computer to the printer’s RAM.
NOTE: If the printer has a hard disk drive and 32MB of memory installed, Direct,
32
32
Print, and Hold print connections are automatically available. If the printer does
not have a hard disk drive, only the Direct connection is available.
If the site is using NIS (Network Information Services), a superuser must add the
printer name and IP address to the system’s database of network printers.
1.Add the Ci1000 to the network’s IP host table.
This step must be performed on the master NIS (server) machine. After adding
the printer entry, the updated database must be released to network users.
2.For the printer name, specify the print server protocol, the print connection
(queue), and the spool file.
3.Activate the printer connection.
Depending on your system, you may restart the printer daemon or tell the printer
to accept print requests.
UNIX server print queues
The lpr protocol is a printer spooling system. It is a set of programs that accepts
printing requests from many users on a network, routes them to the proper print
server (in this case, the Ci1000), and accepts requests to display a queue’s status or
to remove jobs from a queue.
The lpr system is included in the standard installation of Berkeley-based UNIX
systems, SunOS 4, and Solaris, and is an option for the SGI IRIX system.
Page 52
3
3-6Connecting the Printer to a Network
Use the examples that follow as a guide in helping you set up your network for
printing to the printer.
NOTE: In these examples, “KX-P8420_PS” is used as the printer name (the IP host
name), and “KX-P8420_PSq” is used to indicate the Ci1000 Print queue.
Since the printer supports only one TCP/IP (lpr) connection at a time, you can
use the same name for the hostname and the queuename. However, the examples
indicate where you should make a distinction if you want to use different names.
NOTE: For SGI workstations running IRIX 5, first load the lpr package from the
IRIX installation CD. The default installation includes only the lp printing
subsystem, which does not have networking capabilities. You need to load the
following items:
The IP address is followed by the official host name, and these are followed by
aliases, if any. Type the entry exactly as shown, without a space before the IP
address.
NOTE: For sites using NIS, after adding the printer entry , the superuser releases the
updated information by typing:
cd /var/yp
make
/etc/hosts file to include the printer as a network device.
NOTE: For sites that use DNS (Domain Name System) or that use NIS+, consult
the documentation or the network administrator for instructions on publishing
the printer entry.

group); users cannot modify or remove files other than their own.
It is possible to set up to two additional printer entries, one with the rp name
xjdirect and one with the name xjhold. The rp name indicates the Ci1000 queue
to which jobs are sent when you print to the named printer.
A printer entry with the rp name xjhold routes all jobs to the Ci1000 Hold queue.
Therefore, to print those jobs, they must be moved to the Print queue or deleted

Distribution) type.
3.Type:
lpadmin -p KX-P8420_PSq -s KX-P8420_PS\!xjdirect
This command creates an internal queue on the workstation and points it to the
printer. The general format of this command is:
lpadmin -p <queuename> -s <hostname>\!xjdirect
NOTE: The name xjdirect after the exclamation point is for configuring the printer;
it is an internal name that the printer requests. It must be xjdirect; it is not a userselectable name. This is the only place where it is entered.
Page 55

3-9Setting up TCP/IP printing
As with SunOS 4 or other BSD based systems, when printing to printers with a
hard disk and a minimum of 32MB of memory it is possible to configure up to
two additional printer entries, one with the rp name xjprint and one with the rp
name xjhold (see page 3-7).
4.Type:
accept KX-P8420_PSq
This command tells the printer to accept print requests from your workstation.
You are now ready to print from the workstation to the printer.
5.Type:
enable KX-P8420_PSq
Verifying the TCP/IP network connection
Before a device on a TCP/IP network can send print jobs to the printer, the
printer must be given a valid IP address, as well as a gateway address and subnet
mask, if applicable. The IP address is used on all TCP/IP networks and must
always be assigned before the printer can be verified across the network.
Because TCP/IP networks require some UNIX setup by the network
administrator, you may not be able to send a test page from the driver across the
network to the printer immediately after installation. The following procedure
enables you to verify that there is a proper connection between the printer and the
network without using the printer driver to print a test page. Before you begin this
procedure, verify that the printer is functioning by printing a page from the
printer’s ROM.
For step by step instructions, see “Printing pages from the control panel” on
page 2-18 of Operating Instructions.
Once the printer’s TCP/IP setup is complete, you can v erify the av ailability of the
printer using the

Page 56
3-10Connecting the Printer to a Network
3
TOVERIFYTHE TCP/IP CONNECTION:
•To see if the printer responds to its address, use the ping command.
Use the format:
ping <IP address>
Use the printer IP address assigned in Network Setup. After the printer has been
given a hostname by your network administrator, you can also ping the name you
gave it:
ping <hostname>
The server should respond with a message such as:
<IP address> is alive.
Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP
address. To stop the output, type Control-C.
Setting up TCP/IP clients for printing
If the printer is being added to an existing network, each TCP/IP client is already
running TCP/IP client software.
The Ci1000 supports TCP/IP client software on UNIX workstations, PC
compatibles, and Macintosh computers. With Macintosh computers, however, it
is easiest to use the built-in AppleTalk protocol to communicate directly with the
printer.
If the client workstation is a PC running Windows, set up the printer as a
Windows PostScript printer by installing the PostScript printer driver, as
described in Chapter 5. For setting up your networking software, see the
documentation for your networking environment.
Page 57
3-11Setting up TCP/IP printing

Setting up TCP/IP clients for running Fiery WebTools
Fiery WebTools software comes pre-installed on the Ci1000. Fiery WebTools
include: WebSpooler, Status, WebDownloader, WebSetup , and WebLink.
When TCP/IP is enabled for the printer in Network Setup, Fiery WebTools are
immediately available to clients that:
• Are connected to a TCP/IP network with a consistent set of IP addresses, one
for the printer and one for each computer connect to the printer
• Have an Internet connection and a Java enabled Web browser.
The recommended browsers are:
• Netscape Navigator 3.04 for Macintosh computers,
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0.1 or Netscape Communicator 4.0.4 for
Windows computers.
NOTE: Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x does not support the WebDownloader.
Note also that Windows NT 4.0 users must download the Windows NT 4.0 Hot
Fix dated July 7, 1997 in order to run the WebDownloader with Netscape
Communicator 4.x.
Netscape and Microsoft continue to r elease frequent updates to their br owsers. As
support cannot be guaranteed for all versions, use the versions specified above for
best results.
To access Fiery WebTools, enter the IP address or DNS name of the Ci1000 as a
URL in the Internet browser. For more information, see p..
Printing and administering print jobs
Once the printer has been properly installed on the TCP/IP network, users should
be able to send print jobs to the Ci1000 from most applications. UNIX clients
also commonly use UNIX printing commands to print PostScript files and text
files to the printer.
For information on printing PostScript files and text files using UNIX commands
see Chapter 3 of Drivers and Utilities.
Page 58
3-12Connecting the Printer to a Network

If you have superuser privileges you can remove any lpd jobs from the printer
queue; removing your own jobs doesn’t require special privileges.
TOREMOVEJOBSFROMTHEPRINTERQUEUE :
•On a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or other BSD-based variant, use the lprm
command to remove jobs from the queue.
To remove job number 123 from the print queue of your Ci1000 named printer,
you would type:
lprm -P<printername> <job #…>
or, for example: lprm -PCi1000 123
The lprm command reports the names of any files it removes.
To determine the job number, use the lpq command described below.
lpq -p<printername>
•On a UNIX system running Solaris 2, use the cancel command to remo ve jobs fr om
the queue.
Type:
cancel <job ID>
For example, to remove a job whose ID is
your Ci1000, type:
cancel printer-123
To find out a print job’s job ID, use the lpstat command described below:
•On a UNIX system running Solaris 2, use the lpstat command to see printer jobs
in the queue.
lpstat -o <queuename>
For example, if your printer queue is named Ci1000q, type:
printer-123 from the print queue of
lpstat -o Ci1000q
The returned list of jobs includes each job ID.
Once lpr print jobs are spooled to the printer’s hard disk, you can use WebSpooler
to monitor print jobs.
Page 59
3-13Setting up IPX (Novell) printing
3
Setting up IPX (Novell) printing
IPX, Novell’s Internetwork Packet Exchange protocol, runs on networks that
include a Novell NetWare server. The server, typically a dedicated PC, is usually
configured to control workstation access to shared resources. In addition to other
services, NetWare servers use IPX protocols to provide spooling, queue
management, and print services to computers (including Macintosh, DOS,
UNIX, and VAX) whose operating software is compatible with IPX protocols.
This section describes network setup for an IPX (Novell) network.
Overview of IPX printing to the Ci1000
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, storage areas for print
jobs. When a user on a network workstation prints a job, the job is sent to a print
queue on the NetWare server. The job is spooled to the NetWare file server disk,
freeing up the workstation.
The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct
connection and Print queue on the Ci1000. The N etWare queue names should be
given an extension corresponding to the Ci1000 printing connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
NOTE: The extensions must be all lowercase and in English.
When the Ci1000 is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the
NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are
transferred over the network to the matching connection: P rint to Print, Direct to
Direct. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created.
You can access the Job Log containing these records at any time.
When the printer is connected to a NetWare print queue that is defined on the
NetWare server, the printer polls the queue for jobs and receives them over the
network for immediate processing and printing. All printer jobs are sent from the
printer queue on the NetWare server to the Ci1000.
Page 60
3-14Connecting the Printer to a Network
3
To set up network printing, enable IPX/SPX Setup from the printer’s front panel
(see “Network Protocol Setup” on page 6-7), and set up the PServer using
WebSetup (see Drivers and Utilities). There is no need to rerun Setup when
adding or removing a NetWare queue; however, you should reboot the Ci1000
after a queue is created or removed.
Configuring the NetWare server
This section explains how to set up the NetWare server so that networked users
can print to the printer from their workstations. There ar e two stages to this setup:
• The network administrator must set up a print queue on the NetWare server so
users can print to it, and the printer can receive print jobs from it.
• Optionally, the administrator can set up the server for network installation of
PostScript printer drivers on client workstations.
Before configuring a NetWare file server for printing to the Ci1000, make sure
that it is connected to a functioning IPX network.Then, log in as the supervisor
on a PC connected to the NetWare file server, and configure the file server as
described in the following sections.
Before you begin, you’ll need to determine the following names:
• The name of the NetWare file server on which you will define the printer as a
new print server.
• The name of the NetWare print server. This name is used for communication
between the printer and the NetWare file server.
• The name to assign to the Ci1000 Direct, Print or Hold queue. If you are
defining a Hold queue, the last five characters must be ‘_hold’. You need to set
up at least one print queue on the NetWare server for jobs that will be printed
by the printer. Users will see and print to the name you assign to the Print
queue.
Names should be as brief and descriptive as possible. Server names cannot begin
with a period and cannot include spaces or punctuation characters other than
periods.
Page 61
3-15Setting up IPX (Novell) printing

• To complete network setup, you will need to log in to the NetWare file server
and the new print server from the printer. You will need a login name and, if
access to the server is restricted, a login password.
Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context
Novell 4.x servers use a different environment setup than Novell 3.1x servers. (If
your server is using NetWare 3.x, proceed to “Setting up a Ci1000 print queue”
on page 3-18.) The native structure for Novell 4.x objects is known as Novell
Directory Services (NDS). To provide backward compatibility with Novell 3.1x
services, Novell 4.x servers use Bindery Emulation to “act” like a Novell 3.1x
server.
To set up the NetWare 4.x server for printing to the printer, you must do the
following:
• Determine the NDS path to the container in which the print server and the
print queue for the printer will be created.
The container defines the “bindery context” for your network structure.
Network devices that are not NetWare 4.x-aware need a bindery context to
work with NetWare 4.x.
• Edit the network startup file to set the bindery context.
• Activate the new bindery context.
This section describes the second and third steps. Given the variety of possible
network structures, we can’t suggest a bindery context that applies to every
network.
TOSETTHEBINDERYCONTEXT:

rconsole.
2.Establish a connection with the server that will have the printer queue.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients
Before setting up client workstations, make sure you perform Network Setup on
the printer, and that the settings reflect the entities you created in PCONSOLE.
Client setup has two parts:
• Install the PS printer driver on each Windows workstation.
• Configure the printer driver to print to a print queue on a Novell file server.
For instructions on installing the appropriate printer driver for your system see
Chapter 5.
For instructions on configuring the printer driver to print to a Novell file server
print queue, see the sections entitled: Completing the Windows 95, NT 4.0 or
3.1 IPX (Novell) connection in Chapter 5.
Using AppleTalk with Macintosh computers
on an IPX (Novell) network
Macintosh users on an IPX network can print to the printer in two ways:
• Directly, using AppleTalk and bypassing the NetWare server
• Through a NetWare server running NetWare for Macintosh
Since the printer supports both AppleTalk and IPX protocols at the same time, it’s
not necessary to use the second option. However, a network administrator may
choose to route all print jobs through a server.
NOTE: The printer can be attached to only one NetWare server at a time.
Printing directly to the printer
Due to the layered design of networks, data can be transmitted using more than
one network protocol. When Macintosh computers are connected to an IPX
network, they can continue to transmit data over Ethernet cable using AppleTalk
protocols. If the printer is on the same network, Macintosh computers can see and
print to the printer, provided that AppleTalk is enabled on the Macintosh and in
Network Protocol Setup.

of the Print dialog box to enable the use of CRDs.
Installing additional software for Macintosh users
Additional software, including Adobe Type Manager, PostScript screen fonts, a
PANTONE color reference file, a CMYK reference file, and sample files are
included on the User Software CD. Copy these files from the Files folder on the
User Software CD to your Macintosh hard drive. Note that some files, such as
fonts, need to be moved to specific locations; others can be moved to a folder of
your choice.
Page 76
4-4Installing Macintosh Software
4
Adobe Type Manager
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is included on the User Software CD. This
application can be used to transfer Type 1 fonts to the printer’s RAM or har d disk,
or to manage fonts on the printer. Manual downloading of fonts not already
provided on the printer eliminates the need for automatic downloading of fonts
used by a document, which speeds printing. You can also:
• Install the PostScript Type 1 fonts that correspond to those installed on your
printer
• Print using PostScript fonts on non-PostScript printers
• The ATM 4.0.2 installer installs both ATM and the Adobe Downloader 5.0.5
utility, which can be used to download PostScript files and non-resident printer
fonts to the Ci1000. You can also use the Adobe Downloader to send the
PANTONE and CMYK color reference files to the printer. See the instructions
provided with the ATM package to install and use ATM for Macintosh.
PostScript and TrueType fonts
In addition to PostScript Type 1 fonts, TrueType fonts are included in the PS3
folder on the User Software CD.
ATM cannot be used to install TrueType fonts. These fonts can, however, be
installed by dragging a copy of each from the PS3 fonts folder on the User
Software CD to your System folder.
For a complete list of fonts included with the Ci1000, see Appendix A of the
Drivers and Utilities.
Color reference pages
CMYK and PANTONE color reference pages are provided on the User Software
CD in the form of downloadable PostScript files.
Page 77
4-5Installing additional software for Macintosh users

CMYK Color Reference
The CMYK Color Reference is a PostScript file (CMYK Ref.ps), which can be
printed using a PostScript downloader utility, such as Fiery WebDownloader. If
the file has not already been installed in the Mita Ci1000 directory on your hard
disk drive, you can copy it from the Color Reference directory on the User
Software CD to a directory of your choice.
Each of the 11 pages displays swatches in graduated combinations of yellow,
magenta, and cyan, and smaller patches that include 25%, 50%, and 75% black.
The process colors are shown in 10% increments. You can specify these colors,
and colors in between, in any application that allows you to define colors as
CMYK percentages—and use the pages to see how they will be printed on your
particular printer.
For more information about color management using the CMYK Color
Reference, see “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” in Drivers and
Utilities.
PANTONE Coated Color Reference
The PANTONE Coated Color Reference is a PostScript file (PANTONE
Book.ps), which can be printed using a PostScript downloader utility, such as
Fiery WebDownloader. If the file has not already been installed in the Mita
Ci1000 directory on your hard disk drive, you can copy it from the Color
Reference directory on the User Software CD to a directory of your choice.
The PANTONE color matching system is a standard color system within the
graphic arts and prepress industries. It specifies hundreds of spot colors, each
identified with a unique number. Each PANTONE color is simulated on the
printer by printing an appropriate combination of process (CMYK) colors. The
ability to simulate PANTONE colors is a basic form of color management.
You can choose PANTONE colors in any application that allows you to define
colors as named PANTONE colors—and use the pages to see how they will be
printed on your particular printer

Setting up PostScript printing with Windows NT 4.0
PostScript printing with Windows NT 4.0 begins with installation of the
PostScript printer driver for Windows NT 4.0 and the Ci1000 printer PPD, and
finishes by configuring a particular type of connection between the workstation
and the Ci1000. The Windows NT 4.0 PostScript printer driver is not included
on the User Software CD, accor dingly, if the Ci1000 is the first P ostScript printer
to be used with your system, you will need to install this printer driver from your
Windows NT 4.0 installation CD or disk. With this version of software, Ci1000
files support Intel-based Windows NT 4.0.

Installing additional software for Windows users
Additional software, including Adobe Type Manager (ATM), a PANTONE color
reference file, a CMYK reference file, a Ci1000 ICM profile, sample files from
popular Windows applications are included on the User Software CD.
When a Typical installation is performed on Windows 95 or Windows NT using
the installer, all files are automatically installed to a directory on your hard drive
called Ci1000. When a Compact installation is performed, only the printer
drivers appropriate to your system are installed. You can also select which
additional files to install during a Custom installation procedure, or you can copy
the additional files from the User Software CD to a directory of your choice as
they are needed.
NOTE: Windows 3.x users must manually copy the files on the User Software CD
to their hard drive.
Some files, such as fonts, will need to be moved to specific locations; others can be
moved to a directory of your choice.
PostScript and TrueType fonts
Regular, bold, italic, and bold italic versions of PostScript Type 1 fonts, as well as
TrueType fonts are provided in the PS3 folder on the User Software CD. These
fonts correspond to the PS3 fonts installed on your printer. To use these fonts in
applications and to properly display them on your monitor, you will need to
install them on your computer. For information on installing fonts see the
following section.
Page 97

For a complete list of fonts included with the Ci1000 printer, see Appendix A of
Drivers and Utilities.
ATM (Windows 95 and Windows 3.1x)
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is included on the User Software CD. This
application can be used to transfer Type 1 fonts to the printer’s memory or hard
disk drive, or to manage fonts on the printer. Manual downloading of fonts not
already provided on the printer eliminates the need for automatic downloading of
fonts used by a document, which speeds printing. You can also:
• Install the PostScript Type 1 fonts that correspond to those installed on your
printer
• Print using PostScript fonts on nonPostScript printers
• Improve the screen display of PostScript fonts
When a Typical installation is performed all the files needed to install Adobe A TM
for Windows 95 are copied to the Ci1000 directory. Windows 3.x users must
manually copy the ATM files on the User Software CD to their hard drive.
See the instructions provided with ATM for information on how to use the
correct version for your system.
NOTE: ATM cannot be used to install TrueType fonts, which are also included in
the PS3 folder. These fonts can, however, be installed on Windows 95 and
Windows NT 4.0 using the Control Panel>Fonts>File>Install New Font
command. Windows 3.1 users can install TrueType fonts by double-clicking the
Control Panel Fonts icon and selecting the fonts to be added. For additional
information on installing TrueType fonts on Windows platforms, see the
documentation that came with your system.
Color reference pages
CMYK and PANTONE color reference pages are provided on the User Software
CD in the form of downloadable PostScript files.
Page 98
5-20Installing Software for Windows

CMYK Color Reference
The CMYK Color Reference is a PostScript file (Cmyk.ps), which can be printed
using a PostScript downloader utility, such as Fiery WebDownloader. If the file
has not already been installed in the Mita Ci1000 directory on your hard disk
drive, you can copy it from the Clrfiles directory on the User Software CD to a
directory of your choice.
Each of the 11 pages displays swatches in graduated combinations of yellow,
magenta, and cyan, and smaller patches that include 25%, 50%, and 75% black.
The process colors are shown in 10% increments. You can specify these colors,
and colors in between, in any application that allows you to define colors as
CMYK percentages—and use the pages to see how they will be printed on your
particular printer.
For more information about color management using the CMYK Color
Reference, see “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” in Drivers and
Utilities.
PANTONE Coated Color Reference
The PANTONE Coated Color Reference is a PostScript file (Pantone.ps), which
can be printed using a PostScript downloader utility, such as Fiery
WebDownloader. If the file has not already been installed in the Mita Ci1000
directory on your hard disk drive, you can copy it from the Clrfiles directory on
the User Software CD to a directory of your choice.
The PANTONE color matching system is a standard color system within the
graphic arts and prepress industries. It specifies hundreds of spot colors, each
identified with a unique number. Each PANTONE color is simulated on the
printer by printing an appropriate combination of process (CMYK) colors. The
ability to simulate PANTONE colors is a basic form of color management.
You can choose PANTONE colors in any application that allows you to define
colors as named PANTONE colors—and use the pages to see how they will be
printed on your particular printer
