Chapter 3:
Printing
from UNIX
Workstations

You can print to the EB-105EX directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed to the
EB-105EX are sent to the Print or Hold queues and can be manipulated from
Command WorkStation, or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network
using Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler.

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

WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print. Jobs sent to the
Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.

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

The queue name and EB-105EX printer name are determined by your system
administrator. For the names of your queues, contact your system administrator.

For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system
documentation.

Printing to the EB-105EX

You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript, TIFF, and PDF files to the
EB-105EX. In general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to
the EB-105EX. For information about UNIX commands, see the UNIX manual pages
or other documentation.

3-2 Printing from UNIX Workstations

3

TO PRINT FROM UNIX

• On a system running a BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the
EB-105EX, as follows:

lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies><filename>

For example, if the Print queue of your EB-105EX 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 9 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lp command to send a job to the EB-105EX, as follows:

lp -d <printername> -n <copies><filename>

For example, if the Print queue of your EB-105EX 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 a 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 EB-105EX is named print_Server, type:

lpq -Pprint_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

• On a system running Solaris 9 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 EB-105EX is named print_Server, type:

lpstat -o print_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

3-3 Printing to the EB-105EX

3

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 a 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 EB-105EX
named print_Server, type:

lprm -Pprint_Server 123

The lprm command reports the names of any files it removes.

• On a system running Solaris 9 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 EB-105EX
named print_Server, type:

cancel print_Server 123

Chapter 4: Downloading Files and Fonts

Fiery Downloader and WebDownloader allow you to send PostScript (PS),
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), and Portable
Document Format (PDF) files directly to the EB-105EX without using the application
in which the files were created. These utilities also allows you to manage printer fonts
on the EB-105EX.

You can use Fiery Downloader or WebDownloader from a remote workstation. Fiery
Downloader and Fiery WebDownloader require a network connection. For
information on installing and configuring Fiery Downloader and WebDownloader on
supported networking protocols, see the User Software Installation Guide.

NOTE: The Windows and Mac OS version of Fiery Downloader and WebDownloader

are fundamentally the same. Differences are noted in this chapter. Where both
windows or dialog boxes are illustrated, the Windows version comes first, followed by
the Mac OS version.

You can also download files and fonts by using the Import feature in Command
WorkStation. For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

Using Fiery Downloader or WebDownloader

You can use Fiery Downloader or Fiery WebDownloader to do the following:

• Check the status of the EB-105EX.

NOTE: This function is not available using WebDownloader, but is available through

the Status WebTool.

•Print PostScript, EPS, TIFF, and PDF files to the EB-105EX.

•Manage the printer fonts stored on the EB-105EX hard disk

This feature requires that the Direct connection be published on the EB-105EX.

NOTE: Fiery Downloader and WebDownloader are designed specifically for the

EB-105EX. You cannot use them with any other printer.

Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts

Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the EB-105EX come in two forms:
printer fonts and screen fonts. Install the screen fonts included with the EB-105EX
user software on your Mac OS computer. If you are using these fonts in documents
you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. 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 EB-105EX. 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.

Downloading printer fonts to the EB-105EX

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 EB-105EX, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your
System Folder. These fonts remain in the EB-105EX 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 EB-105EX, you can download them to the EB-105EX hard
disk with Fiery Downloader. Fonts you download to the EB-105EX hard disk remain
installed until you remove them using Fiery Downloader, no matter how many times
the EB-105EX is turned off and on. Consider downloading fonts you use on a regular
basis to the EB-105EX hard disk.

Before you download PostScript, TIFF, or EPS files with Fiery Downloader, make sure
all fonts included in your file are installed on the EB-105EX 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
EB-105EX. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored on the
EB-105EX 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 EB-105EX,
including:

•Background information about variable data printing

•Printing variable data documents using FreeForm™ and EFI 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 master­element documents—called FreeForm masters—on the EB-105EX. You can send
a variable-element job to the EB-105EX with instructions to combine the job with a
particular FreeForm master.

For more information, see Appendix A.

5-2 Printing Variable Data Documents

5

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 EB-105EX.

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 EB-105EX and rasterized separately from the variable­element data. The master-element data is stored on the EB-105EX in rasterized form
as a FreeForm master, and can be used as often as needed with multiple sets of variable­element data. Because the FreeForm master job is preRIPped and stored on the
EB-105EX, 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 masters 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, Fiery
Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler. You can also use Command WorkStation to monitor
and manage all the FreeForm masters stored on the EB-105EX. For more information,
see the Job Management Guide.

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 EB-105EX
and specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see page 5-8).

NOTE: Although the EB-105EX can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printer

driver interface, Fiery WebSpooler, 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.

5-4 Printing Variable Data Documents

5

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 specific
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 EB-105EX and specify
that it be combined with the corresponding FreeForm master (see page 5-9).

5-5 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

5

Combining the FreeForm master with the variable document

When you print a variable document to the EB-105EX, you specify the FreeForm
master created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The
EB-105EX 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 soft­proofed (before it is printed) in the thumbnail windows of Command WorkStation,
Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler.

For more information about soft-proofing and thumbnail windows of Command
WorkStation, 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.

5-6 Printing Variable Data Documents

5

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

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. 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.

•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:

Document Size
Duplex
Orientation
Punch
Staple

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

Use Slip Sheet

NOTE: The Duplex print option, Open to Top, has no effect when printing using

FreeForm.

TO PRINT VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS

1. Create a master 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 graphics and photographic elements.

4. Print the variable document to the EB-105EX 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.

5-10 Printing Variable Data Documents

5

FreeForm master numbers can be overridden from Command WorkStation,
Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler. 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, Fiery Spooler, or
Fiery WebSpooler.

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

5-11 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm 2

5

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
EB-105EX hard disk 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.

8-1 How Fiery E-mail Service works

8

Chapter 8: Using Fiery E-mail Service

The Fiery E-mail Service allows you to remotely print to and control the EB-105EX
using your current e-mail infrastructure. It allows you to print to remote locations
and bypass firewalls.

With Fiery E-mail Service, you can submit jobs to the EB-105EX as
e-mail attachments.

You can use Fiery E-mail Service in the following ways:

•Print using an E-mail Client

• Scan using Scan to E-mail

How Fiery E-mail Service works

In order to use the E-mail services, you must set up Fiery E-mail Service as described in
the Configuration Guide

To print with an E-mail Client, you send a file as an e-mail attachment, and Fiery
E-mail Service extracts the file and sends it to the EB-105EX. The attachment can be
in any format the EB-105EX recognizes.

Fiery E-mail Service also supports Scan to E-mail, a feature that allows you to scan
a document and send it to an e-mail address as an attachment or URL. For more
information about Scan to E-mail, see Chapter 6.

The EB-105EX supports internal address books. Administrators can retrieve, add,
delete, and clear addresses from the address books by sending requests via e-mail.
For more information about address books, see the Configuration Guide.

NOTE: Fiery E-mail Service will not process .vbs, .exe, or .bat extensions.

8-2 Using Fiery E-mail Service

8

Printing using an E-mail Client

You can submit print jobs to the EB-105EX in the form of an e-mail attachment using
your e-mail application. When you send an e-mail with an attachment, Fiery E-mail
Service extracts the file and sends it to the EB-105EX Print queue. The file format
must be one supported by the EB-105EX.

By default, anyone can print with an E-mail Client, unless the Print address book has
been set up by the Administrator. If your e-mail address is not in the Print address
book, you cannot send files to the EB-105EX via e-mail. For more information about
address books, see the Configuration Guide.

NOTE: The Direct and Hold queues are not supported by the E-mail Client feature.

NOTE: The illustrations in the following procedure depict Microsoft Outlook E-mail.

TO PRINT USING AN E-MAIL CLIENT

1. Open your e-mail application.

2. Enter the EB-105EX e-mail address in the To: line.

3. Leave the Subject line blank.

4. Attach the file you want to print in the body of the e-mail.

N

OTE: Text in the body of the e-mail cannot be printed. You may receive an error if you

enter text in the body of the e-mail.

8-3 Printing using an E-mail Client

8

NOTE: If your attachment exceeds the file size limitation set by your e-mail system

administrator, the e-mail will not be sent.

5. Click Send.

The file is sent to the EB-105EX and the job is printed. After the EB-105EX receives
the job, you will receive an e-mail notification that the print job was accepted. The
e-mail notification also provides a job identification (ID), which allows you to manage
jobs with Job Control (see the following section). The e-mail notification indicates any
current error at the copier.

Once the job has been printed, you receive a second e-mail notification that indicates
the job printed successfully.

To check the status of your job, use Job Control to see if the job printed successfully.

8-4 Using Fiery E-mail Service

8

Job Control

Job Control allows you to manage print jobs by submitting commands to the
EB-105EX via e-mail. You can cancel a job, check job status, and inquire help on a job.
Once you send a command, the EB-105EX returns an e-mail response.

TO MANAGE PRINT JOBS WITH JOB CONTROL

1. In your e-mail application, enter the EB-105EX e-mail address in the To: line.

2. Enter one of the following Job Control commands in the Subject line.

To check the status of a job, enter #JobStatus<job id> in the Subject line.

You will receive an e-mail response to your job status query. You can only inquire about
the status of the job if you sent the job or are an administrator.

To cancel a job, enter #CancelJob<job id> in the Subject line.

You will receive an e-mail response indicating that the job has been cancelled and will
not print to the EB-105EX. You can only cancel the job if you sent the job or are an
administrator.

To inquire help, enter #Help in the Subject line.

You will receive an e-mail response that contains the links that allow you to cancel jobs,
check job status, and search and manage address books. Click any of the links to
perform a Job Control command.

A-1 Print Options

Appendix A: Print Options

Print options give you access to the special features of your copier and EB-105EX.
Print options can be specified in several places—in EB-105EX Setup, or from the
printing application, Fiery Downloader, Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler,
or Fiery Spooler. The table in this appendix briefly describes each print option and its
default setting, and provides information on any constraints or requirements in effect.

About printer drivers and printer description files

The EB-105EX receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) them,
and then sends them to the copier. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate
with the EB-105EX by means of a printer driver and printer description (PPD) files.
The driver allows you to use special features of the EB-105EX from the Print dialog
box.

A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the
printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those
instructions with printer-specific options you specify, and translates all information
into PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver
writes a PostScript file based on your original file and the options you set from the
Print dialog box.

A printer driver also allows you to select print options for your copier. To do this, the
printer driver must be matched with a PPD file for your EB-105EX. A PPD file
contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular device (for
example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer driver reads the
information in this file and presents that information to you in the form of options
you can choose from the Print dialog box. For information on the specific print
options for the EB-105EX, see the table on page A-3.

A-2 Print Options

Where to set print options

•During Setup

Some settings are specified during Setup by the administrator. For information on
the current default server settings, contact the administrator or the operator.

•From applications

With the Adobe PostScript printer drivers, you can specify job settings when you
print a job. For information about specifying job settings from applications,
see Chapters 1 and 2.

•From Fiery Downloader

Only a few settings—Copies and Page Range (for PDF files only)—can be specified
when printing jobs with Fiery Downloader. To change options in Fiery Downloader,
select a job in the Files to be Downloaded (Windows) or Files to Download
(Mac OS) list and click Options. For more information, see Chapter 4.

•Overrides from Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, and Fiery Spooler

To change job settings from Command WorkStation, double-click a job to display
the Properties dialog box. To change job settings from Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery
Spooler, double-click a job to display the Override Print Settings dialog box.
For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

Print option override hierarchy

The override hierarchy is as follows:

•A user’s printer driver settings override the EB-105EX Setup settings.

•Settings made from Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, or Fiery Spooler

override the user’s printer driver settings.

Default settings

In the following table, underlined settings in the Option and settings column indicate
default printer driver settings (PPD defaults). If you do not use the printer driver
interface to configure a particular option, the EB-105EX prints the job with the
underlined setting.
