Preparing to print
If you intend to set up a direct connection to the Fiery, make sure that the Fiery is installed
and that a Startup Page has been printed. You also need to connect the EFI Splash RPX-iii to
the Fiery using the Ethernet crossover cable. This connection is described as Direct Connect.
If you do not require Direct Connect, the EFI Splash RPX-iii and the Fiery are connected to
your network independently. This connection is described as Network Connect. For more
information about Direct Connect and Network Connect, see “Connecting the EFI
Splash RPX-iii to the Fiery” on page 11.
For either connection, perform the tasks in the following table to set up the EFI
Splash RPX-iii for printing.
NOTE: Direct Connect is supported only with a digital press with an integrated Fiery.
A stand-alone Fiery must use Network Connect.
INTRODUCTION 10
To set up the EFI Splash RPX-iii for printing, perform the following tasks:
Step Task Reference
1
Connect the Macintosh
by Direct Connect or
Network Connect.
2
Install EFI Splash RPX-iii
Server Software.
For Direct Connect, attach the Ethernet
crossover cable from the EFI
Splash RPX-iii to the Fiery.
If your configuration does not require
Direct Connect and uses Network
Connect, the Fiery may already be
installed on the network. Connect the
EFI Splash RPX-iii to the Fiery over the
network.
Install Splash RPX-iii Server Software
on the EFI Splash RPX-iii.
Configure the Macintosh for EFI
Splash RPX-iii.
For information, see “Connecting the EFI
Splash RPX-iii to the Fiery” on page 11.
For more information, see “Configuring
Mac OS X for the EFI Splash RPX-iii” on
page 20.
3
Configure network settings for the EFI
Splash RPX-iii printing environment.
4
Prepare users for printing. At each computer from which
users print:
• Install user software and copy
color files.
• Install the appropriate printer files
and connect to one or more print
connections.
For information about configuring the EFI Splash RPX-iii for optimal printing in your
particular environment, see the Printing Guide and the Color Guide.
For information about configuring
network settings, see the Configuration
Guide.
For more information, see “Installing User
Software on a Mac OS Computer” on

drivers and printing from client computers,
see the Printing Guide.
INTRODUCTION 11
Connecting the EFI Splash RPX-iii to the Fiery
The EFI Splash RPX-iii supports direct connection to the Fiery or a connection over the
network. After the initial connection is made, the EFI Splash RPX-iii automatically
reconnects to the same Fiery each time it is started.
If you prefer not to expose the Fiery on the network, follow the procedure for Direct
Connect. To expose the Fiery on the network, follow the procedure for a non-dedicated print
environment.
Connecting the EFI Splash RPX-iii using Direct Connect
Direct Connect allows the EFI Splash RPX-iii to access the Fiery via an Ethernet crossover
cable provided with the EFI Splash RPX-iii. Use Direct Connect if you want the EFI
Splash RPX-iii (but not the Fiery) to be visible on the network, thus providing a dedicated
print environment. Direct Connect provides higher and more consistent performance than
Network Connect.
NOTE: Direct Connect is supported only with a digital press with an integrated Fiery. A stand-
alone Fiery must use Network Connect.

“Installing the Splash RPX-iii Server Software” on page 16.
NOTE: Before installing the Splash RPX-iii Server Software, make sure that the Fiery Start
Page prints, and that the TCP/IP settings for the Fiery are configured correctly. For more
information, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Connecting the EFI Splash RPX-iii using Network Connect
Network Connect allows the EFI Splash RPX-iii to access the digital press over the network,
providing a non-dedicated print environment. Use Network Connect to use the features and
workflow of the EFI Splash RPX-iii and Fiery at the same time.
To optimize performance using Network Connect, the configuration of the Fiery and EFI
Splash RPX-iii should be located on the same Gigabit switch.

Configuring the Calibration Station (ColorCal)
The Calibration Station allows you to configure a single ColorCal application on the Splash
Server, or remotely from another Mac OS computer, to drive calibration for multiple Splash
Servers in a batch format. You must first define a list of Splash Servers and calibrations to be
performed at each Splash Server. Once you specify the batch calibration, ColorCal prints all
of the targets to all of the Splash Servers in the list, which are then gathered up and scanned or
measured in any order. Once each target is scanned or measured, ColorCal updates the
calibration corresponding to the scanned or measured target on the matching remote Splash
Server.
The first time you start ColorCal, you must configure the connection to at least one Splash
