Xerox DOCUCOLOR 2006 Print options

Print options

The print options provide you access to all the special features of the DocuColor 2006. Print options can be specified in several places—in

Printer Setup, from the printing application, from ColorWise Pro Tools, and from Fiery WebSpooler.

The table in this chapter 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. For information on the current default printer settings, check with the system administrator or the printer operator.

•From applications

With the Adobe PostScript and PCL printer drivers, you can specify job settings when you print a job. Refer to the chapter

Printing from the Windows workstations or Printing from the Mac OS workstations for more information.

•From ColorWise Pro Tools

Refer to the chapter Using ColorWise Pro Tools to set the default RGB Source Profile, CMYK Simulation Profile, Output Profile, CMYK Simulation Method, and RGB Separation settings.

•Overrides from the Fiery WebSpooler

To change job settings from Fiery WebSpooler, double-click a job to display the Override Print Settings dialog box. For more information, refer to the chapter Using Fiery WebSpooler.

B. Print options

Print option override hierarchy

Print options can be overridden in the following cases:

•Application settings will override the Printer Setup and ColorWise Pro Tools settings

•Settings made from the Fiery WebSpooler will override user printer driver settings

Default settings

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 DocuColor 2006 prints the job with the default setting.

For options that can be configured during Setup from the Control Panel, WebSetup, or ColorWise Pro Tools selecting Printer default results in a print job that uses the Setup settings. For options that cannot be configured during Setup, the DocuColor 2006 prints the job with a pre-configured printer default setting. Some options are not supported by various operating system. For more information, refer to the Requirements, constraints, and information column.

To review the current Printer Setup defaults, print the Configuration page from the Printer Control Panel.
