Xerox DOCUCOLOR 2006 Print options
B
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.
Print options
• 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.
