Introduction

The Splash G630 Color Server is a complete color printing system for use on an Apple Power Macintosh platform. The G630 is fast, powerful, and accurate and is the ideal solution for printing color critical proofs and high-quality short runs. The Splash G630 Color Server is a FedEC-certiﬁed prooﬁng system that is a benchmark for the graphic arts industry.

This User Guide describes how to set up the Splash G630 Color Server and install and use Splash client software on Macintosh and Windows-based computers. Splash client software enables a Macintoshor Windows-based computer to send print jobs across an appropriate network to the Splash server, which processes the jobs and sends them to the printer. If you are unfamiliar with your platform’s procedures for printing or integrating printers within the network environment (Windows 2000/NT, AppleTalk, Unix, and Novell), please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation before attempting to use the Splash server.

Product Features

•ColorTuner quickly and easily makes color changes to any document (a single page or the entire document) at the server without having to reopen and edit the original ﬁle in the original application. Color changes can be made globally (RGB or CMYK) by adjusting either the overall intensity of a speciﬁc color or the highlights, midtones, or shadows. Direct color substitution mode will change the selected color for a single page of a document or the entire document to a new color. Smoothed color substitution changes all occurrences of a single color to another color, allowing the user to tweak the dominant color in an image.

•Set Builder selects individual jobs and/or documents and prints them as a single set. Production features can be applied including Copies, Collate, Duplex, Staple, Rotate, Face up, Output bin, and Reverse order.

•Secure Access enables the Splash server administrator to limit who is allowed to print to the server. It requires the client to enter a user ID,

Product Features

password, and account number or any combination of these ﬁelds, prior to sending a job to the server.

•Splash Imposition creates imposed documents from the print driver, PPD, or Job Option window at the server.

•Spot Color Editor provides the ability to edit the value output for any spot color. Spot colors may also be created and deleted. In addition, users can revert all spot colors to the original factory values.

•Expanded imageable areas are supported for 12x18 and SRA3 paper sizes.

•Hot Folders/Hot Download Folders enables the download of graphics ﬁles directly from the Macintosh client workstation to the Splash server, using speciﬁed job print options.

•TIFF-IT 8.8 Support adds spot color support to TIFF-IT P1, in addition to CMYK only.

•Composite Spotproof is an exclusive Splash feature which simulates Pantone (including the newer 147 colors in both composite and separations), Toyo, DIC, and HKS spot color matching systems. Spot tints (less than 100% of a speciﬁc spot color) can also be printed accurately since they are calculated from the actual spot color and are not a CMYK processed color.

•Splash Intellicolor allows the printing of documents that contain mixed RGB format (TIFF, EPS) elements and mixed color space (CMYK, RGB, spot) elements without any complex and time-consuming adjustments. The Splash server is the ﬁrst PostScript server to separately color-correct RGB and CMYK formats within the same file.

•Continual Print automatically processes and prints most ﬁles at copier rated speeds. Complex jobs with large bitmaps on each page may not print at engine speed.

•CopyCal creates color proﬁles that enable the printer to simulate the color output of any other color printer.

Splash G630 User Guide	1

Registration Card

•Acquire without Photoshop enables images to be easily scanned at the Splash server without the requirement of additional applications, such as Adobe Photoshop.

•Two-up Imposition imposes two letter/A4 pages on a single tabloid/12x18 or A3/SR3 page. The second image is rotated to create a straight edge for binding. Two-up Imposition is compatible with all job and page options except for Staple. When Two-up Imposition is selected, the setting for the Staple option is ignored. The default setting is Off.

•Drag and Drop from Server Queues supports dragging copies of spool ﬁles from the server queues to the Mac desktop.

•GCR Preserving Proﬁle retains the original Gray Component Replacement (GCR) values of the original ﬁle. This creates better quality prints that represent more accurately the output of a press by replacing all neutral color areas with an appropriate amount of black, using only the minimum amount of cyan, magenta, and yellow. This option only affects color matching with new style 4D proﬁles. Old style proﬁles are automatically GCR preserving.

•Auto Grayscale overrides the color gray speciﬁed in the RGB color space with true singlepass black (using K colorant of CMYK) printing. This produces a true looking gray versus a “muddy” look of a CMY gray. This option works with both 1D and 4D CMYK proﬁles.

•Internet or Intranet Web Print Queue Manager enables remote clients on any computer platform to view and control print jobs at the Splash server. Requires a TCP/IP connection to the Splash server and Netscape Navigator 4 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or later web browser.

•Mirror Image printing ﬂips pages about the vertical axis to reverse the images. This is perfect for transfer applications such as T-shirt transfers and window decals.

•Proﬁle Creator supplies high-quality ICC CMYK proﬁles through a target which can be measured by using a spectrophotometer (not provided by Splash). This feature is appropriate for highly accurate proﬁle creation required for prepress and press environments.

•System ConﬁgurationReport enables the system administrator to view all system parameters in a multipage report.

•Thumbnails can preview images of all pages of a document on the Splash server interface.

•Translated server components in Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish are included with the Splash server.

Conﬁguring a Network for Printing to the Splash Server

Printing from TCP/IP and Novell NetWare Clients

Your computer must have Splash software appropriate for your operating system installed, and must be connected to the Splash server in order to print over a TCP/IP or Novell NetWare network. All software needed for both TCP/IP and IPX printing is automatically installed with the Splash server software.

The Enterprise Networking software includes one control panel and four system extension ﬁles, which are automatically installed in the MacOS System Folder during Splash’s software installation.

For IPX printing from Novell NetWare, the Splash server creates a native Novell IPX connection from the Splash server to the Novell server. NetWare Direct delivers print jobs from a print queue on the Novell NetWare server to the Splash server for processing. Once NetWare Direct is conﬁgured and activated, it operates automatically each time a Novell client prints to the designated queue on the Novell server. Splash NetWare Direct supports all Novell Ethernet frame types.

When TCP/IP Direct is enabled at the Splash server, the server becomes a network printer. The Splash

Directory Service (NDS)

Enterprise Networking provides native support for NetWare 4.1 or later and IntranetWare NetWare Directory Services (NDS). This section describes how to create print queues on NDS and how to conﬁgure the Splash server to receive print jobs from NDS print queues.

Novell 4.x and IntranetWare servers include NetWare Directory Service (NDS) support. NDS is a naming scheme and database that allows organizing all servers and services in one large, hierarchical database.

NDS and the Splash server software can create a single print server object and assign virtual printers to that print server. Virtual printers can have one or more print queues associated with them. To change the printers or queues, change the Print Server assignment in the NDS database. Splash Enterprise Networking reads the NDS database for the print server information and services the speciﬁed queues. This allows controlling print queues associated with the Splash server without making adjustments at the Splash server.

Conﬁguring an NDS Print Queue

To create an NDS print queue:

1.Run NWAdmin from the Novell or Intranet Server.
