Print to the DocuColor 2006 just as you would to any other printer from
any application by selecting the DocuColor 2006 as the current printer
in the Chooser and then printing the file from within the application.
Another way to print from a Mac OS computer is to download
PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), or Portable Document
Format (PDF) files using WebDownloader. Refer to the section Using
WebDownloader in the chapter Using the Fiery WebTools.
Printing from applications

must select the printer in the Chooser. Then, using the Adobe
PostScript printer driver and the correct PostScript Printer Description
file (PPD), you can control many DocuColor 2006 printing features by
specifying job settings from print dialog boxes

Some default print options are set by the administrator during Setup. Check
with the administrator or the operator for information on the current server
default settings.
1. Open a file and select Page Setup from the application File
menu.

DocuColor 2006 is displayed as your printer. Specify settings for
the print options displayed.

From the Paper Source drop-down list, select the paper tray for

printed on pages from Tray 2.
If paper loaded in the selected tray is a different size, orientation,
and/or media type than that of the job you are sending, the printer
displays an error message and the job will not print. You should
then load the correct paper in the selected tray or cancel the job.

5. Select Printer Specific Options and specify the appropriate
settings for your print job.
These print options are specific to the DocuColor 2006. You may
need to use the scroll bar at the right of the box to see all options.
They override the settings in Printer Setup, but can be changed
from the Fiery WebSpooler. For information about these options,
refer to the chapter Print options.
Ensure that your selections are within the paper specifications for the printer.
Refer to the chapter Technical information for more information.
If you select Printer default, the job prints according to the
settings entered during Setup, or the default settings. For
information about these options, refer to the chapter Print options.
Some PPD options can also be set from an application (for
example, Reverse Order printing or Collation). In these cases,
use the PPD option to perform the function, rather than setting it
from the application. The application may not set up the file
properly for printing and may also take longer to process.
If you specify incompatible print settings, a dialog box may
appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the conflict
6. If you want to make the new settings the default settings, select
the Save Settings button.
