In addition, the Color Guide offers information on printing from popular Windows and Mac OS applications.

• The Job Management Guide explains the functions of the Fiery 3850C client

utilities, including the Command WorkStation, and how they can be used to manage jobs. This book is intended for an operator or administrator, or a user with the necessary access privileges, who needs to monitor and manage job ﬂow and troubleshoot problems that may arise.

• Release Notes provide last-minute product information and workarounds for some of

the problems you may encounter.

xiii How the Fiery 3850C works

How the Fiery 3850C works

The Fiery 3850C receives ﬁles from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) those ﬁles, and then sends them to the printer’s print engine for printing.

Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the Fiery 3850C by means of a PostScript printer driver and PostScript printer description (PPD) ﬁles. Windows computers can also communicate with the Fiery 3850C by means of a Printer Control Language (PCL) printer driver and PDD ﬁles (PCL’s equivalent of PPD ﬁles). Both drivers enable you to use special features of the Fiery 3850C from the P rint dialog bo x.

About printer drivers and PPDs/PDDs

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

A PPD/PDD ﬁle contains information about a particular device’s features and capabilities (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer driver reads the information in the PPD/PDD ﬁle and presents that information to you in the form of options you can choose from the Print dialog box. The PPD/PDD for the Fiery 3850C includes information about the features of both the printer and the Fiery 3850C.

For information on the PPD/PDD options, see Appendix A.

Supported paper sizes

The Fiery 3850C supports PostScript at 600 and 1200 dpi (dots per inch) and PCL at 600 dpi on a wide range of paper sizes. For more information, see the description of the Paper Size print option in Appendix A.

xiv Preface

Before you begin

Before using the Fiery 3850C, follow these steps:

1. Conﬁrm that the system administrator has completed Setup, as described in the Conﬁguration Guide.

2. Find out what printer defaults the administrator speciﬁed in Setup.

These default settings can affect the results of your print jobs. Check with your administrator or operator for information on these default settings.

3. Conﬁrm that the user software is installed correctly on your workstation, as described in Getting Started.

4. Find out how your workstation is conﬁgured for printing on the network.

If your site has an operator who controls all printing, you may have access to the Hold queue only. In this case, all jobs you send are spooled to the Fiery 3850C and held until the operator sends them to their next stage of processing.

You may also have access to the Print queue. If you send jobs to this queue, jobs spool to the Fiery 3850C and proceed to RIP and print according to your job settings— unless someone (you, or an operator, for example) intervenes.

Lastly, you may have access to the Direct connection, which sends jobs straight to the server without spooling.

5. Find out whether the Fiery 3850C is set up to use Fiery WebT ools and what your access privileges are.

The administrator may or may not have enabled access to the server via the Internet (or an intranet). If access is enabled, a password may be required to utilize certain functions.

1-1 Printing from applications

Chapter 1: Printing from Windows Computers

This chapter describes how to print to the Fiery 3850C from Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. You can print from a networked Windows computer, from a computer using Windows (SMB) printing. If you plan to print ﬁles at another location, you should follow the procedures described in “Saving ﬁles to print at a remote location” on page 1-34.

NOTE: If you are using Windows XP, follow the procedures for Windows 2000.

Another way to print from a Windows computer is to download PCL, PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), or Portable Document Format (PDF) ﬁles using WebDownloader. For details on using WebDownloader, see Chapter 5.

NOTE: For information on setting up the Windows environment for printing with

Windows servers connected to the Fiery 3850C, see the Conﬁguration Guide. For information on how to connect to the Fiery 3850C over the network, install printer drivers, and install the Fiery utilities, see Getting Started.

Printing from applications

Once you have installed the Fiery 3850C printer driver and set it to the proper port as described in Getting Started, you can print directly from most Windows applications. Simply choose the Print command from within your application.

Setting options and printing from Windows 9x/Me

To print from Windows 9x/Me, use either the PCL printer driver or the Adobe PostScript printer driver for Windows 9x/Me. Both drivers are included with the Fiery 3850C user software. See Getting Started for more information.

Once you have installed the PCL printer driver and PDD ﬁle, or the Adobe PostScript printer driver and the PPD ﬁle, you can specify print settings for a particular job and print it to the Fiery 3850C.

1-2 Printing from Windows Computers

To print from Windows 9x/Me applications by connecting your computer to a print server via the network, one of the following is required: a NetWare server, a Windows NT 4.0 server, or a UNIX server. For more information, see the Conﬁguration Guide.

To print from Windows 9x/Me applications without connecting to a print server, you can use Windows (SMB) printing. For more information, see Getting Started.

The procedures provide examples on how to use the driver to specify print options. F or information about speciﬁc print options, refer to Appendix A, “Print Options” .

NOTE: The following procedures use Windows 98 PostScript illustrations. NOTE: The interface may vary slightly depending on whether you are using the

3-1 Printing to the Fiery 3850C

Chapter 3: Printing from UNIX Workstations

You can print to the Fiery 3850C directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed to the Fiery 3850C are sent to the xjprint or xjhold queue and can be manipulated from the Command W orkS tation or from W indows and Mac OS computers on the network using Fiery WebSpooler.

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

Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the xjhold queue are spooled to disk and held.

The queue name and Fiery 3850C 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 3850C

You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript and text ﬁles to the Fiery 3850C. In general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to the Fiery 3850C. See UNIX manual pages or other documentation for information about UNIX commands.

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 3850C as follows:

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

For example, if the xjprint queue of your Fiery 3850C is named print_Server, your ﬁle is named

lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample

Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:

3-2 Printing from UNIX Workstations

• 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 3850C as follows:

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

For example, if the xjprint queue of your Fiery 3850C is named print_Server, your ﬁle is named

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>

Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:

For example, if the xjprint queue of your Fiery 3850C 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 xjprint queue of your Fiery 3850C is named print_Server, type:

lpstat -o print_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

3-3 Printing to the Fiery 3850C

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 named

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 named

cancel print_Server 123

print_Server, type:

123 from the xjprint queue of your Fiery 3850C

Chapter 4: Special Features

This chapter describes some of the special features supported by the Fiery 3850C including:

• Printing simulations

• Printing duplex pages

• Check and Print Jobs

• Secured Print Jobs

• Entering User Codes

Printing simulations

You can use the Fiery 3850C to proof offset press jobs or to simulate the output of other print devices by specifying settings for the CMYK Simulation Proﬁle (from the printer driver) print option. This option affects CMYK data only.

The Fiery 3850C provides CMYK Simulation targets for the major international press standards: SWOP, DIC, and Euroscale. You can also create, save, and import custom simulation proﬁles using ColorWise Pro Tools (see the Color Guide).

• The Fiery 3850C provides CMYK Simulation targets for the major international

press standards: SWOP, DIC, and Euroscale.When printing simulations on the Fiery 3850C, choose the CMYK Simulation Proﬁle setting corresponding to the press standard for which the CMYK data was prepared, or choose a custom simulation proﬁle.

• T o simulate the color of a copy made from the printer glass, choose the M atch Copy

setting. This setting bypasses Fiery 3850C calibration.

A-1 Print Options

Appendix A: Print Options

Print options give you access to all the special features of your printer and Fiery 3850C. Print options can be speciﬁed in several places—in Fiery 3850C Setup, from the printing application, from ColorWise Pro Tools, from the Command WorkStation and from Fiery WebSpooler. The table in this appendix brieﬂy describes each print option, gives its default setting, and provides information on any constraints or requirements in effect.

Where to set print options

• During Setup

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

• From applications

With the Adobe PostScript printer rivers, you can specify job settings when you print a job. See Chapter 1, “Printing from Windows Computers” and Chapter 2, “Printing from Mac OS Computers” for information about specifying job settings from applications.

• From ColorWise Pro Tools

You can set the default CMYK Simulation Proﬁle, RGB Source Proﬁle, Output Proﬁle, Rendering S tyle, S pot Color Matching, P ure B lack Text/Graphics, and Black Overprint settings. See the Color Guide for more information on using ColorWise Pro Tools.

• Overrides from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler.

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

A-2 Print Options

Print option override hierarchy

The override hierarchy is as follows:

• A user’s printer driver settings override the Fiery 3850C Setup and ColorWise Pro

Tools settings.

• Settings made from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler 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). In other words, if you do not use the printer driver interface to conﬁgure a particular option, the Fiery 3850C prints the job with the underlined setting.

For options that can be conﬁgured during Setup from the Control Panel, Command WorkStation, WebSetup, or ColorWise Pro Tools choosing the Fiery 3850C printing the job with the Setup setting speciﬁed. For options that cannot be conﬁgured during Setup, the Fiery 3850C prints the job with a pre-conﬁgured “Printer’s default” setting. For more information, see the “Requirements, constraints, and information” column.

A-10 Print Options

More about print options

The following sections provide additional information about print options. See the table above for information on the settings, requirements, and constraints in effect for these options.

Black Overprint

When printing black text in combination with a color background or graphics, the text can be printed in one of two ways: either as part of the color background, or on top of the color background. Black Overprint allows you to choose a speciﬁc way to print the black text for such a job.

Off—Prints the black text with knockouts. The Fiery 3850C ﬁrst prints the color

background with the black text areas ‘knocked out’ (no color is printed in the text areas); the black text is then printed in the knocked out area, ﬁlling in the areas not printed in color. The result is a ﬂatter appearance for the black text.

On—Overprint the black text. Used in combination with the P ure Black Text/Graphics

option, the Fiery 3850C ﬁrst prints the full color background, then lays the black text on top of the color background as 100% K toner. The result is a darker and glossier appearance for the black text. Overprinting also minimizes misregistration and ‘haloing’ problems.

CMYK Simulation Proﬁle

CMYK Simulation Proﬁle allows you to change the simulation goal for the current print job. As the job begins processing, the simulation goal selected in CMYK Simulation Proﬁle is applied before printing.

NOTE: Choosing Printer’s default results in the job being printed with the simulation

goal currently set on the Fiery 3850C.

SWOP-Coated—Uses the United States press standard. DIC—Uses the Japanese press standard. Euroscale—Uses the European press standard. Simulation-1 (2,3,4,5...10)—Uses a custom simulation goal. Before selecting this

setting, you are required to create a new simulation goal with ColorWise P ro T ools and link the new simulation to one of the custom simulation names, for example, Simulation-1.

A-11 Print Options

None—Uses no simulation goal. Select this setting when the CMYK data for your job

has already been separated for your speciﬁc printer (for example, when using the Color Management System built into your computer to convert the CMYK data to the printer’s color space).

For more information about simulation and calibration, see the Color Guide.

Collate

Use this option to specify sorting options.

Off—Copies of a complete job are output, uncollated into the top tray. On—Copies of a complete job are collated and output into the top tray.

A-12 Print Options

Duplex

All duplex printing features are available only with plain paper media type.

TO PRINT DUPLEX PAGES:

1. Choose Print in your application, and locate the Duplex print option.

The location of Fiery 3850C print options varies, depending on the printer driver you are using.

2. Choose one of the Duplex settings:

The following table shows how the Duplex settings correspond to printed output:

setting, you are required to download or create the output proﬁle with ColorWise Pro Tools, then link it with one of the custom output proﬁle names, for example, Output-1.

For information on output color space and color management, see the Color Guide.

A-13 Print Options

Rendering Style

Use this option to select a default color rendering dictionary (CRD) to be used when you print RGB images, objects, and text.

Photographic—Optimizes the range of colors on the Fiery 3850C to produce the best

results for photographic or bitmapped images.

Presentation—Optimizes the output of pure, saturated colors such as those used in

business presentations.

Relative Colorimetric— Provides a close match to the CMYK device being simulated,

regardless of the media being used.

Absolute Colorimetric— Provides the closest match to the CMYK device being

simulated, including rendering the paper color as the background.

RGB Source Proﬁle

This option is used to specify a source color space for RGB data.

EFIRGB—Optimal source space for printing to the Fiery 3850C. This setting provides

consistent output across platforms.

sRGB (PC)—Speciﬁes the source space of a generic Windows computer monitor. Apple Standard—Speciﬁes the source space of a Mac OS computer monitor. Other—Allows you to specify a custom RGB source setting using the (Other) Gamma,

(Other) Phosphors, and (Other) White Point print options. Source-1 through Source-10—Uses a custom source proﬁle. Before selecting this

setting, you are required to download the source proﬁle to the Fiery 3850C with ColorWise Pro Tools, then link it with one of the custom source proﬁle names, for example, Source-1.

For information on source color space and color management, see the Color Guide.

C-1 Troubleshooting

Appendix C: Troubleshooting

This appendix provides troubleshooting tips.

Maintaining optimal system performance

The Fiery 3850C does not require maintenance. Beyond the routine requirements of servicing and maintaining the printer and replenishing consumables there are a few things you can do to improve the overall performance of your system:

• Reduce unnecessary two-way communication.

If users notice that the server is frequently too busy to receive jobs, it may be because several users are running utilities that are updated often. Large numbers of remote users running Fiery WebTools may have a signiﬁcant effect on Fiery 3850C performance.

• Schedule the printing workload by checking job ticket information before printing.

Print jobs with the same output and paper speciﬁcations together to minimize paper changes. Also, print routine jobs while you prepare to print jobs with special instructions or special media.

• Avoid printing with the server “Disk full” warning.

If you see this warning, delete jobs from the Queues window that have been held for a long time and are not likely to be needed. Avoid this condition b y deleting old jobs on a regular basis. The date associated with a job is the original date it was sent.

C-2 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

In case of problems, and before you call for service, check the guidelines in this section. If you are unable to resolve the problem, make a note of the error condition and contact your authorized service/support center.

This section provides some troubleshooting guidelines should a problem arise. If you are unable to resolve a problem after referring to this section, contact your site operator or administrator.

General printing problems

If this happens: Try this:

You cannot select or view one of the queues.

Printing ties up your computer for too long.

Message requests a paper size that you do not have.

• Have your system administrator enable the queue in Setup.

• Print to a queue instead of to the Direct connection.

When you print to a queue, the job is stored on the Fiery 3850C until it can be processed and printed; when you print to the Direct connection, the job cannot be sent to the Fiery 3850C until the previous job is ﬁnished processing, so you must wait longer to use your computer.

• Cancel the job and do one of the following:

If you are printing a ﬁle from an application, change the page size in the Page Setup dialog box.

C-3 Troubleshooting

If this happens: Try this:

Fiery 3850C does not respond to a Print command.

The Test Page, or other pages, do not print from the Control Panel.

• Did you select the Fiery 3850C as the current printer?

Before printing, you must select the Fiery 3850C as the current printer from your Mac OS, Windows, or UNIX workstation.

• Make sure that the printer is switched on.

Someone may have turned the printer off. Even with the printer off, the Fiery 3850C appears in the Chooser as long as the Fiery 3850C itself is turned on.

• Make sure that the printer is online.

• If you are printing over an IPX (Novell) network, verify through the PCONSOLE utility that the job was sent to the Novell queue and that the queue is being used by the Fiery 3850C.

• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.

Check with the operator, or use Fiery WebSpooler to check the job’s status. A job containing a PostScript error appears in red in the Fiery WebSpooler display.

To obtain information on the PostScript error, make sure the Print to PS Error setup option is set to Yes. See the Conﬁguration Guide for more information.

• Check the printer display for an error message and correct the problem.

• Restart the Fiery 3850C.

If there is no error message at the printer, you should restart the Fiery 3850C.

C-4 Troubleshooting

Problems with print quality

If this happens: Try this:

Print settings for your job output do not match the settings you gave.

You get poor printing results.

Your printed ﬁle appears too dark.

QuickDraw ﬁll patterns print as solids.

• Make sure that you did not override the setting for the job in another place.

For information about options and overrides, see Appendix A.

• Does your application require one of the Fiery 3850C printer description ﬁles?

If you are printing from Adobe PageMaker, make sure that the Fiery 3850C printer description ﬁle is installed correctly. For information about installing these ﬁles, see Getting Started and the documentation for your application software.

• Adjust the Brightness option.

You can use the Brightness option when printing from an application or from Fiery Downloader to lighten your image whenever you print a PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) ﬁle.

• Use the Adobe PostScript Printer driver.

C-5 Troubleshooting

Problems with Fiery Downloader

If this happens: Try this:

General problems

You have problems downloading a font with Fiery Downloader.

Extra blank page prints after a Fiery Downloader job.

• Make sure that the connections are properly set.

See Getting Started.

• Check with the administrator to make sure that the Direct connection is enabled.

The Direct connection must be used to download fonts. (Files can be downloaded via the Print or Hold queue.)

• Turn off the “Showpage (after EPS ﬁle)” option.

This option adds a special PostScript command that will cause an extra blank page to print if it is not needed.

C-6 Troubleshooting

Problems with Fiery WebTools

If this happens: Try this:

You cannot connect to Fiery WebTools, or it takes a long time to connect.

• Check with the administrator to make sure Web Services are enabled in Fiery 3850C Setup.

• Make sure you have the correct IP address or DNS name for the Fiery 3850C.

Check with the administrator or print a Conﬁguration page from the Fiery 3850C Control Panel.

• Clear the cache (Netscape Communicator) or history (Microsoft Internet Explorer).
