Launching Fiery Scan
Repeatedly launching and cancelling Fiery Scan (after choosing the TWAIN source) may
produce unexpected results.
Printing and copying
Attempting to scan while copying may produce unexpected results. Complete or cancel
making the copies before attempting to scan.
Pressing buttons on the copier while the Fiery ZX is printing a job may cause unexpected
results. If you need to interrupt a print job to make copies, select Suspend Printing from the
Fiery ZX Control Panel. When the copy job is complete, select Resume Printing.
Printing and scanning
Attempting to prescan while printing on large paper sizes may produce unexpected results.
Complete or cancel the scan before attempting to print.
With Windows NT 4.0 when only a small amount of memory remains available on your
computer’s hard disk, you may encounter the following:
• You may not be able to print a scan.
• After printing a scan, you may encounter problems closing the image in Photoshop.
Match Copy
In order to print a scan as an exact match to the original copy:
• In the Fiery Scan Options dialog box, select Match Copy from the Color Conversion
pop-up menu.
• In the CMYK Simulation print option, select the Match Copy setting.

Prescanning with Windows computers
When using a Color palette setting of High Color (16 bit) for Windows 95 computers, or
65536 Colors for Windows NT 4.0 computers, you may experience unexpected displays of
prescanned images. The final scanned images are not affected by any irregularity in the
prescan display; however, to avoid unexpected displays of prescans, set your monitor's
Color palette setting to True Color (24 bit) or True Color (32 bit) for Windows 95
computers, or to 16777216 Colors or True Color for Windows NT 4.0 computers. To
check the monitor's current Color palette setting, click Start and choose Settings > Control
Panel. Double-click the Display icon and click the Settings tab in the Display Properties
dialog box. Make your selection from the Color palette pull-down menu.
Minimizing other applications
For Windows computers, before beginning a final scan, minimize any other open
applications. Not doing so may cause a delay in reactivation of the Photoshop application
after the scan is completed.
Cancelling a scan
For Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, attempting to cancel a scan may result in an
application error. If this occurs, quit and relaunch Photoshop and Fiery Scan. Because the
last opened file could not be saved, you must repeat the scan process for that file.
Fiery Spooler
For Windows
The Java portion of the Fiery S pooler software installer dialog boxes appear in English only.
The Fiery Spooler application icon is different from that of the other Fiery utilities.
If the Fiery Spooler main window exceeds the boundary of your monitor, all warning or
error messages will display off screen. This will prevent you from viewing these messages.
Center the main window in the monitor, or force quit and relaunch Fiery Spooler.
You may encounter problems attempting to view the Fiery Spooler main window after
minimizing it. If this occurs, right-click the Fiery Spooler button on the Taskbar and choose
“Restore” from the menu that appears.
Dragging the scroll bar in a particular queue, in a Thumbnail window, in the Override
Print Settings dialog box, or in the Job Log may have no effect. Instead, click the empty
spaces to either side of the scroll bar, or click the arrows to move through the window.
After displaying the Override Print Settings dialog box, you may need to click in it twice to
make it the active window.
The Override Print Settings dialog box may not reflect the entire set of print options that
are available from the Adobe PostScript printer driver.
RIP and Hold jobs may also appear in the Printed queue.
With Windows NT 4.0, when you attempt to delete a job from a queue or to clear the Job
Log, the warning dialog box does not immediately display. Click the mouse in the Fiery
Spooler or Job Log main window to display the warning dialog box.
When attempting to remove a Fiery ZX from the list of available servers, do not click
randomly through the list. If you encounter problems removing a particular F iery ZX from
the list, click the cancel button, relaunch Fiery Spooler, and try again.

For Mac OS
The Duplicate and Print button will not function correctly for jobs selected from the
Printed queue. First send the desired job to the Hold queue; then select it and click the
Duplicate and Print button.
The Override Print Settings dialog box may not reflect the entire set of print options that
are available from the Adobe PostScript printer driver.
Many of the options in the Override Print Settings dialog box show two Printer’s Default
settings. One is the default setting and the other is the printer’s default. You can select either
setting, as the job will print correctly.
Print option settings in the Override Print Settings dialog box do not constrain to disallow
unsupported setting combinations.
Fiery WebTools
Job Log
Override Print Settings dialog box
The Override Print Settings dialog box in F iery WebSpooler may not reflect the entire set of
print options that are available from the Adobe PostScript printer driver.
Date range
For Mac OS computers using Fiery WebSpooler with Netscape Communicator, if the Job
Log is displayed and you return to the Job List, and then open the Job Log again, the Job
Log Range dialog box displays in front of the previously displayed Job Log. If y ou set a new
date range, the Job Log will then update to reflect the new date range.
Document column
The maximum amount of characters that can appear in the Document column is 32.
Naming a job with more than 32 characters may result in the job name being cut off.
Size column
The Size column displays the actual size of the job only for jobs that have been printed
directly from your computer. For jobs that have been reprinted from the queues, edited, or
have overridden print option settings, the Size column reflects the number of pages in the
job.
RIP and Hold jobs
The Job Log may reflect information for RIP and Hold jobs. I n these cases, the information
in the Device, Page Size, and Media columns may appear as “Unknown” and the pages
printed may appear as “0” (zero).
DocBuilder
Active jobs
Before printing the Job Log, make sure all jobs currently RIPping and printing on the
Fiery ZX have been completed. Otherwise, these jobs may not appear on the Job Log.
Additionally, jobs printing while the Job Log is RIPping may not appear.
Deleting pages
To delete only certain pages from a raster job displayed in the Thumbnail A window, select
the page (or the page range) and choose Delete from the Page menu or the right mouse
menu, as described in the
Job Management Guide
.
Page 6
Page 6
A warning message will not appear after deleting all pages from a Thumbnail window. A file
that has been saved with no pages will appear in the queue as having a Size of “0” (zero) and
cannot be viewed or edited.
Dragging pages between Thumbnails
For Mac OS computers using Fiery WebSpooler with Netscape Communicator, you may
not be able to drag raster pages from Thumbnail B to Thumbnail A.
Saving jobs
When saving Thumbnail jobs using the Save As command, after giving the file a new name
and clicking OK, the job may actually be saved with the original name and then the Save As
dialog box continues to display. If this occurs, press OK a second time and the file is also
saved with the new name. This results in two saved files, one with the original name and
one with the new name.
Thumbnails not displayed
If you try to view a raster file, but no pages display after opening a Thumbnail window, quit
and relaunch the application.
Job overrides
Software uninstallers
Options that require reRIPping
If you override any print option from the Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, or
Fiery Spooler for Windo ws that r equires r eRIPping, all pages of the job will not be printed.
Only pages associated with the original, unedited file can be printed.
Command WorkStation
After running the Command WorkStation software uninstaller, you must delete an
additional folder. Use the following procedure:
1. Click the Start button, and choose Run.
2. In the Run dialog box, type “regedt32”.
3. Delete the folder “EFI” from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE folder.
All Fiery utilities
If you uninstall all of the Fiery utilities, also delete the file “efinl.ini” from the Windows
folder.
Fiery Scan for Windows
Unlike the other Fiery utilities for Windows, the Fiery Scan plug-in does not include an
uninstaller. Reinstalling the Fiery Scan plug-in overwrites any previous software installed;
however, if you want to uninstall the Fiery Scan plug-in altogether, delete the file
“fy_tw_32.ds” from the Windows\Twain_32 folder.
Media type
Imageable area
Paper source does not constrain
When the paper source is specified as Auto Select, it is still possible to specify Transparency
or Thick Paper for the Media Type. For best results, specify the Bypass Tray as the paper
source when printing on thick paper or transparencies.
A3 Wide paper size
Due to copier limitations, the imageable area for the A3 Wide paper size may be incorrect.

The Notes 1 and Notes 2 text message ar eas ar e normally not av ailable when printing fr om
Windows NT 4.0 with the Windows NT PostScript printer driver.
Paper Source
The Paper Source setting specified from within PageMaker may not be correctly reflected in
the Properties or Override Print Settings dialog boxes.
For Windows 95
Print options set from P ageMaker v ersion 6.5 override any print options set with the A dobe
PostScript printer driver. If you want to print a PageMaker 6.5 job with specific Fiery ZX
PPD options, then make sure all PageMaker print options are set to “Printer’s default”.
The Printer Job Notes dialog box does not appear when printing jobs from PageMaker 6.5;
therefore, you cannot make any entries in the Notes 1 and Notes 2 fields.
