Introduction
The Printer Controller EB-105EX is used to print final documents or proof jobs that
will be printed later on an offset press. You send a print job to the Printer Controller
EB-105EX as you would to any other printer—select it from the Printers dialog box
on Microsoft Windows computers, or in the Chooser on Apple Mac OS computers,
and then print from within any application.

Chapter 1: Printing from Windows Computers
This chapter describes printing to the EB-105EX from Windows computers. You can
print from a networked Windows computer or a computer using Windows (WINS)
printing. You can also save files to print at a remote location.
You can print from a Windows computer in many ways. You can download PostScript
(PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), or Portable
Document Format (PDF) files using Fiery Downloader or Fiery WebDownloader, or
print documents using the Fiery E-mail Service. For supported file versions, see the

Setting options and printing from Windows computers
To print from Windows computers, select and install the corresponding Adobe or
Microsoft PostScript printer driver. The drivers are included on the EB-105EX User
Software CD.
Once the Adobe or Microsoft PostScript printer driver and printer description file
(PPD) are installed, you can specify print settings for a particular job and print it to the
EB-105EX. You can also set default print settings using the driver.
To print from Windows applications by connecting your computer to a print server via
the network, a Novell NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, or UNIX server is required. For
more information, see the
To print from Windows applications without connecting to a print server,
you can use Server Message Block (SMB) printing. For more information, see the
