About printer drivers and PPD ﬁles

PRINT OPTIONS

This chapter describes the Splash RPX-i print options. It covers the following topics:

•Information about printer drivers and PostScript printer description (PPD) ﬁles

•Brief explanations of each print option, default setting, and any constraints or requirements

•Details about speciﬁc print options

The Splash RPX-i receives ﬁles from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the ﬁles, and then sends them to the copier. When printing from an application, the Mac OS or Windows computer communicates with the Splash RPX-i by means of a PostScript printer driver and PPD ﬁles.

A printer driver provides a way to communicate information about print jobs between your application and the Splash RPX-i and copier. It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those instructions with copier-speciﬁc options you specify, and then translates all information into a language that the copier understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript ﬁle based on your original ﬁle and the options you specify from the Page Setup and Print dialog boxes.

A PPD ﬁle contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular device (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer driver reads the information in the PPD ﬁle and presents the information to you in the form of print options you select in the Page Setup and Print dialog box. The PPD ﬁle for the Splash RPX-i includes information about the features of both the copier and the Splash RPX-i. For information about the speciﬁc print options for the Splash RPX-i, see the table on page 79.

PRINT OPTIONS

About print options

The Splash RPX-i print options give you access to the special features of your copier and Splash RPX-i. They can be speciﬁed in multiple locations: at the Splash RPX-i and from your applications.

More about print options

The following sections provide additional information about speciﬁc print options. For more information about the settings, requirements, and constraints in effect for these options, see the table on page 79.

File Handling

The Splash RPX-i provides several options for handling the PostScript spool ﬁle and image ﬁles created during printing.

• Process and Hold sends the spool ﬁle directly to the Hold queue after the Splash RPX-i processes it.

• Print and Hold saves the spool and image ﬁles after printing the job. The job is transferred to the Hold queue. Saving the image ﬁle saves time when the same ﬁle must be reprinted, but does not have to be reRIPped.

• Print and Delete automatically deletes the image and spool ﬁles after printing the job.

• Preﬂight and Hold processes and screens the job for prepress errors and then sends the job to the Hold queue.

• Color Postﬂight and Hold processes and prints the job to screen for color postﬂight errors and then sends the job to the Hold queue.

• Send and Hold sends the job ﬁle directly to the Hold queue, without processing.

Job Handling

The following print options are provided for job handling.

• Duplex speciﬁes that the job prints double-sided output. Use this option to set up automatic duplex printing from Trays 1-4.

– No Duplex applies no duplexing.

– Duplex Short Edge Binding prints double-sided sheets that are bound on the short edge

of the document. The second side of the sheet is rotated for correct orientation.

– Duplex Long Edge Binding prints double-sided sheets that are bound on a long edge of

the document. The second side of the sheet is rotated for correct orientation.

• Collate prints copies of a complete job, one after another. Sending collated jobs displays the “Set” message in the Splash Server status window. Sending uncollated copies displays the “Copy” message in the Splash Server status window.

• Rotate Pages rotates all pages of a job by 180 degrees. Select this option when stapling landscape jobs that are rotated incorrectly by the creating application, such as Microsoft PowerPoint and QuarkXPress.

PRINT OPTIONS

• Face Up prints the job with a face-up orientation.

NOTE: If the Duplex option is selected for the job, Face Up has no effect.

• Reverse Page Order prints the job starting with the last page of the document.

NOTE: If your application provides reverse order printing (sometimes called “back-to-

front” printing), select the application’s option instead of this option.

NOTE: You must set the reverse page order option to On, either with this option or with

your application’s option, for a booklet job to be properly folded or folded and stapled with the Fasten Mode option.

Manual duplex printing:

Use the Duplex options to set up manual duplex printing from Tray 5 for manual-fed jobs. This speciﬁes that the job prints as two-sided output.

The following paper sizes and media types must be set up for manual duplex printing from Tray 5.

•Paper Size

– SRA3

–12x 18

–13x 19

–Custom

•Media Type

–Heavyweight 2 (177-220 gsm)

PRINT OPTIONS

Paper Source

The Paper Source option lists the following trays that are available for the Splash RPX-i.

• Auto Select: The copier searches for the tray that contains the paper size and media type that are speciﬁed for a job.

For the automatic tray selection to work properly, the paper sizes and media types must be correctly set in the copier.

When a job is sent with the Media Type option set to any media type other than Tray Default, the correct paper size of the correct media type must be set in the copier. If the correct paper size of the correct media type is not set in the copier, the job does not print.

• Tray 1, Tray 2, Tray 3, Tray 4, Tray 6 (HCF): You can specify a speciﬁc tray, for example, to print on letterhead or colored paper installed in a single tray.

When a job is sent with the Media Type option set to Tray Default, the job prints using the copier settings. The paper size speciﬁed for the job must match the paper size in the tray. If the paper size does not match, the job does not print.

When a job is sent with the Media Type option set to any media type other than Tray Default, the job prints if the paper size and media type of the job match those in the tray. The job does not print if the paper size and media type do not match.

Secure Printing

The printer drivers for the Splash RPX-i allow you to use Secure Printing to password-protect your jobs. This security feature can be implemented only from the printer driver, and printed at the Splash RPX-i only when a password is entered.

In order for a job to be password-protected, you must provide a password for the job at the time it is printed. If a job sent to the Splash RPX-i is password-protected, the job will not RIP until you enter a password at the Splash RPX-i.

NOTE: If a Secure Printing spool ﬁle is saved and sent to the Hold queue, the password is not

saved and must be re-entered when you resend the job to the Active queue.

NOTE: A Secure Printing job cannot be previewed or be part of a document set.

PRINT OPTIONS

TO SET SECURE PRINTING

1 Open a document from your application.

2 Choose Print from the File menu.

3 Select Splash Features from the Copies and Pages menu and click the Info tab.

The Info pane appears.

4 Click Enable.

The Secure Printing dialog box appears.

5 Enter a Secure Printing password, verify the password, and then click OK.

The document is now password-protected, and the job goes to the Error queue at the Splash RPX-i.

PRINT OPTIONS

TO ACTIVATE A PASSWORD-PROTECTED JOB AT THE SPLASH RPX-I

1 Double-click the password-protected job in the Error queue.

The dialog box with job information appears.

2Type the Secure Printing password, as it was assigned at your computer, and click OK.

If you entered the password correctly, you can select the job and drag it to the Active queue. If an incorrect password is entered, the job stays in the Error queue.

Secure Access

Secure Access allows the server administrator to limit who can print to the Splash RPX-i by deﬁning a combination of User, Password, and Account which must be entered and veriﬁed before jobs print. Secure Access can also be used without veriﬁcation to improve job logging by requiring User and Account information in order to print.

Secure Access accounts are established and managed at the Splash RPX-i by your server administrator. You are prompted for the required information at your computer. Validation of the information, if required, is performed by the Splash RPX-i and if the information is not correct, you are prompted to correct the information before you can print the job.

For more information about Secure Access, see the Job Management Guide.

PRINT OPTIONS

Using the Secure Access printing

When the Secure Access printing is conﬁgured at the Splash RPX-i by your server administrator, you must use the Secure Access PPD ﬁle to print a job.

The following PPD ﬁles are provided for the Splash RPX-i:

• Splash RPX-i 240-250 for standard printing

• Splash RPX-i 240-250 SA for Secure Access printing

To use Secure Access printing, you must use the PPD ﬁle with “SA” appended to the name.

Depending on the platforms and the types of printing connections to the Splash RPX-i, the Secure Access PPD ﬁles are installed and accessed differently. For more information about installing the printer ﬁles and selecting the Secure Access PPD ﬁle, see Printing from

Mac OS X, Printing from Mac OS 9, and Printing from Windows.

Printing

When you print a job, you are prompted to provide the following information as conﬁgured by your server administrator at the Splash RPX-i:

•User

•Password

•Account

NOTE: Contact your server administrator for the required information at your site.

If the information you entered is incorrect, the driver prompts you to re-enter the correct information, specifying the ﬁrst incorrect entry, along with the error message that is set up at the Splash RPX-i. This continues until you enter the correct information or click Cancel. Once the correct information is entered, the job prints as with the standard PPD ﬁle.
