requirements

• Additional details about specific print options

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW 7

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW

This chapter describes printer drivers and printer description (PPD/PDD) files, Integrated
Fiery Color Server print options, and locations for setting print options.

About printer drivers and printer description files

The Integrated Fiery Color Server receives files from computers on the network, processes
(RIPs) the files, and then sends them to the digital press. Windows and Mac OS computers
communicate with the Integrated Fiery Color Server by means of a printer driver and PPD
(PostScript Printer Description) files. Windows computers can also communicate with the
Integrated Fiery Color Server 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 Integrated Fiery Color Server 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 set, and then translates all information into Adobe PostScript or
PCL, languages the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript
or PCL 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 digital press. To do this, the
printer driver must be matched with a PPD/PDD file for your Integrated Fiery Color Server.
A PPD/PDD 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 the PPD/PDD file and presents the information to you in the form of
options you select in the Print dialog box. The PPD/PDD file for the Integrated Fiery Color
Server includes information about the features of both the digital press and the Integrated
Fiery Color Server. For information about the specific print options for the Integrated Fiery
Color Server, see the table that begins on page 10.

About Print options

Print options give you access to the special features of your digital press and Integrated Fiery
Color Server. Print options can be specified in several places—in Integrated Fiery Color
Server Setup, or from the printing application, ColorWise Pro Tools, Hot Folders, or
Command WorkStation.

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW 8

Setting print options

• During Setup

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

• From applications

With the printer drivers, you can specify job settings when you print a job. For
information about specifying job settings from Windows applications, see Printing from

Windows. For information about specifying job settings from Mac OS applications, see
Printing from Mac OS.

• From ColorWise Pro Tools

You can set the default CMYK Simulation Profile, CMYK Simulation Method, RGB
Source Profile, RGB Separation, Output Profile, Rendering Style, Spot Color Matching,
Black Text/Graphics, and Black Overprint settings from ColorWise Pro Tools. For more
information about using ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing.

• From Hot Folders

Assign a group of print options to a Hot Folder. When you specify print options for a
Hot Folder, the print options are assigned to all jobs sent through that Hot Folder.
These print options override any default options.

For more information, see Hot Folders Help.

• Overrides from Command WorkStation

To change job settings from Command WorkStation, double-click a job to display the
Properties dialog box.

For more information about using Command WorkStation, see Command WorkStation
Help.

Print option override hierarchy

The override hierarchy is as follows:

• A user’s printer driver settings override the Integrated Fiery Color Server Setup and
ColorWise Pro Tools settings.

• Settings made to Hot Folders override the user’s printer driver settings.

• Settings made from Command WorkStation Job Properties override the user’s printer
driver settings.

Print options and settings

PRINT OPTIONS 9

This chapter explains each print option, default setting, location of the print option in the
printer driver, and any constraints or requirements. It also provides additional detail about
specific print options, beginning on page 31.

In the following table, underlined settings in the Option and settings column indicate default
printer driver settings (PPD/PDD defaults). If you do not use the printer driver interface to
configure a particular option, the Integrated Fiery Color Server prints the job with the
underlined default setting.

The Printer driver location column lists where to find the print option in the Integrated Fiery
Color Server printer driver.

For options that you configure in Command WorkStation, Configure WebTool, or
ColorWise Pro Tools, choosing Printer’s default results in the Integrated Fiery Color Server
printing the job with the setting you specified in Setup. For options that cannot be configured
in Setup, the Integrated Fiery Color Server prints the job with a preconfigured Printer’s
default setting. For more information, see the Requirements, constraints, and information
column in the table.

To determine the current Setup defaults, print the Configuration page from Command
WorkStation. For information about printing a Configuration page, see Configuration and

Setup.
