PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW

PTIONS

VERVIEW

This chapter describes printer drivers and PPD (PostScript Printer Description) ﬁles, Fiery EXP8000/50 print options, and locations for setting print options.

About printer drivers and printer description ﬁles

The Fiery EXP8000/50 receives ﬁles from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the ﬁles, and then sends them to the digital press. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the Fiery EXP8000/50 by means of a printer driver and PPD ﬁles.

A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those instructions with printer-speciﬁc options you set, and then translates all information into Adobe PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript ﬁle based on your original ﬁle and the options you set from the Print dialog box.

A printer driver also allows you to select print options for your digital press. To do this, the printer driver must be matched with a PPD ﬁle for your Fiery EXP8000/50. 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 options you select in the Print dialog box. The PPD ﬁle for the Fiery EXP8000/50 includes information about the features of both the digital press and the Fiery EXP8000/50. For information about the speciﬁc print options for the Fiery EXP8000/50, see the table that begins on page 11.

About print options

Print options give you access to the special features of your digital press and the Fiery EXP8000/50. Print options can be speciﬁed in several places—in Fiery EXP8000/50 Setup, from the printing application, ColorWise Pro Tools, Hot Folders, or Command WorkStation.

Print option override hierarchy

The override hierarchy is as follows:

•A user’s printer driver settings override the Fiery EXP8000/50 Setup and ColorWise Pro Tools settings.

•Settings assigned to Hot Folders override the user’s printer driver settings.

•Settings made from Command WorkStation override the user’s printer driver settings.

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW

Setting print options

•During Setup

Some settings are speciﬁed during Setup by the administrator. For information about the current default server settings, contact the administrator or the operator.

•From ColorWise Pro Tools

Set the default CMYK Simulation Proﬁle, CMYK Simulation Method, RGB Source Proﬁle, RGB Separation, Output Proﬁle, Rendering Style, Spot Color Matching, Print Gray using black only, Black Text/Graphics, and Black Overprint settings. For more information about using ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing .

•From applications

With the Adobe PostScript printer drivers, you can specify job settings when you print a job. For information about specifying job settings from Windows applications, see

Printing from Windows . For information about specifying job settings from Mac OS

applications, see Printing from Mac OS .

•From Hot Folders

Assign a group of print options to a Hot Folder. When you specify print options for a Hot Folder, the print options are assigned to all jobs sent through that Hot Folder. These print options override any default options.

For more information, see Hot Folders Help.

•Overrides from Command WorkStation

To change job settings from Command WorkStation, double-click a job to display the Properties dialog box.

For more information about Command WorkStation, see Command WorkStation Help.

PRINT OPTIONS

PTIONS

This chapter explains the Fiery EXP8000/50 print options, default settings, and any constraints or requirements. It also provides more detailed descriptions of speciﬁc print options, beginning on page 25.

Print options and settings

In the following table, underlined settings in the Option and settings column indicate default printer driver settings (PPD defaults). If you do not use the printer driver interface to conﬁgure a particular option, the Fiery EXP8000/50 prints the job with the underlined setting.

For options that you conﬁgure in Setup from Command WorkStation, Conﬁgure, or ColorWise Pro Tools, choosing Printer’s default results in the Fiery EXP8000/50 printing the job with the setting you speciﬁed in Setup. For options that cannot be conﬁgured in Setup, the Fiery EXP8000/50 prints the job with a preconﬁgured Printer’s default setting. For more information, see the Requirements, constraints, and information column in the table.

To determine the current Setup defaults, print the Conﬁguration page from Command WorkStation. For information on printing a Conﬁguration page, see Conﬁguration and Setup .

In the following table, the Printer driver location column lists where to ﬁnd the print option in the Windows 2000/XP printer driver. To locate the same options in the Mac OS X printer driver, select either ColorWise (for color print options and expert color settings) or Printer Features, which allows you to select various panes (Job Info, Layout, Media, etc.) from the Feature Sets sub-menus.

Print setting constraints

In the printer driver, settings that appear in red indicate a “constraint,” meaning that the print option depends on another print option setting. For example, if you select certain Booklet Maker layouts, such as Saddle or Perfect, the Duplex print option must be set to Head to Head; or if you want to print on transparencies, the Face-Down printing option must be set to Off. When there is a constraint, the settings appear in red and a conﬂict pane alerts you, allowing you to change settings automatically.

Settings that appear in red in the printer driver may also indicate installable options that require installation. For information on installable options, see

PRINT OPTIONS

Additional information

The following sections provide additional information about certain print options. For more information about the settings, requirements, and constraints in effect for these options, see the table that begins on page 11.

Auto Trapping

Trapping is a technique which prints some objects slightly larger or smaller than speciﬁed in an application, in order to prevent white edges around the objects. These white edges, or “halos,” can be caused by factors such as misregistration, the physical properties of the toners, and the stiffness of the media. The Auto Trapping feature provides you with advanced trapping settings and gives you full control over their values.

For more information, see Graphics Arts Package and Color Printing.

Booklet Maker

Use the Booklet Maker feature to arrange the pages of the print job in special layouts for folding or cutting after printing. You can use the Front Cover and Back Cover options to deﬁne (single- or double-sided) covers for booklet printing.

You can use the Centering Adjustment or Center Margin options to adjust how the image is positioned on the page. For more information, see “Center Margin” on page 27 and

“Centering Adjustment” on page 27.

You can also use the Creep Adjustment option to adjust the image shifting that may occur when booklets are printed on heavy media or contain a large number of pages. For more information, see “Creep Adjustment” on page 28.

NOTE: Custom Paper Sizes are not supported when creating a booklet.

The following booklet layouts are supported.

None: The job is printed without any booklet imposition features.

sequence is from right to left.

Nested Saddle Group: When nested Saddle or Nested Saddle (Right Binding) are selected, use

this option to specify the number of pages to be allocated to each Nested Saddle Group.

Gang-up Double Print: Choose to print a job so that the data on the ﬁrst page is duplicated on

the ﬁrst sheet. The next sheet duplicates the data on the second page, and so forth. For example, when each of the printed copies is cut in half, the result is two complete sets of the same document.

Center Margin

Use the Center Margin option to specify a ﬁxed margin value (0–50 millimeters or 0.00–1.97 inches) at the folding line for booklet printing.

NOTE: The Center Margin option is available only when Booklet Maker is selected.

Centering Adjustment

Use the Centering Adjustment option to specify how you want the image positioned on the page relative to X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axes, or to the left and right margins of the page.

NOTE: Centering Adjustment is an option only when Booklet Maker is selected. Orientation

must also be set to Portrait, and Layout Direction (Mac) or N-up layout (Windows) set to either 1-up or 2-up.

Collation

Use this option to specify sorting options.

Collated: Copies of a complete job are sorted as 1-N, 1-N.

Uncollated: Copies of a complete job are sorted as 1,1, 2,2, 3,3.

NOTE: The Collation of Mixed Media and Variable Data Printing (VDP) jobs is handled

differently. For mixed media jobs, copies of a complete job are sorted according to finishing set. For variable data printing jobs, copies of a complete job are sorted per record.

For more information on VDP, see Variable Data Printing; and for information on Mixed Media, see Utilities.

PRINT OPTIONS

Creep Adjustment

Creep occurs in booklets that contain a large number of pages or are printed on heavy media. As the sheets are folded to create separate page areas, each fold causes a small incremental shift in the location of the edge of each page relative to others. Use this option to adjust images that may shift from the center of the sheet in booklet jobs.

NOTE: This option is only available when Booklet Maker is selected. It is not applicable to the

Gang-up Booklet Maker settings.

Off: Select to print booklet jobs without any adjustment.

Plain: Select when printing booklets that contain a large number of pages.

Thick: Select when printing booklets on heavy media.

NOTE: If you select Thick, you must also specify heavy paper from the Media Type pull-down

menu; otherwise, your job prints on plain paper.

Duplex

The Fiery EXP8000/50 digital press is equipped for automatic two-sided (duplex) printing. When the Duplex print option is set to one of the duplex settings, the digital press automatically turns the paper for printing on the opposite side.

TO PRINT DUPLEX PAGES AUTOMATICALLY

1 Choose Print in your application and locate the Duplex print option on the Layout tab.

The location of Fiery EXP8000/50 print options varies depending on the printer driver that you use.

2 Choose a Duplex setting.
