NOTE: Some options listed in the printer driver could also be set from an application
(for example, Collation or Reverse Order). In these cases, use the driver option to
perform the function, rather than setting it from the application. The application may
not set up the ļ¬le properly for printing on the Fiery EX2101, resulting in unexpected
printing errors and longer processing time.
NOTE: With the E-mail Notiļ¬cation feature enabled in the printer driver as described
in the User Software Installation Guide, you can receive an e-mail notiļ¬cation after your
job is printed or when a printing error occurs. The feature also requires that the Fiery
Mail Port is installed and the Status messages from Fiery option is selected in the
E-Mail Port Conļ¬guration dialog box. For more information on installing and
conļ¬guring the Fiery Mail Port, see the User Software Installation Guide.
