PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW 7

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW

This chapter describes printer drivers and PPD files, Fiery EX4112/4127 print options, and locations for setting print options.

About printer drivers and printer description files

The Fiery EX4112/4127 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the files, and then sends them to the copier. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the Fiery EX4112/4127 by means of a printer driver and PPD files. Windows computers can also communicate with the Fiery EX4112/4127 by means of a Printer Control Language (PCL) printer driver and PDD files (the PCL equivalent of PPD files). Both drivers enable you to use special features of the Fiery EX4112/4127 from the Print dialog box.

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 or PCL, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript or PCL 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 copier. To do this, the printer driver must be matched with a PPD/PDD file for your Fiery EX4112/4127. A PPD/PDD 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 this PPD/PDD file and presents that information to you in the form of options you choose from the Print dialog box. The PPD/PDD file for the Fiery EX4112/4127 includes information about the features of both the copier and the Fiery EX4112/4127. For information about the specific print options for the Fiery EX4112/4127, see the table that begins on page 10.

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW 8

Setting print options

Print options give you access to the special features of your copier and Fiery EX4112/4127. You can specify print options using the following methods:

• 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 applications

With PCL and 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 for 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 option override hierarchy

The override hierarchy is as follows:

• A user’s printer driver settings override the Fiery EX4112/4127 Setup.

• Settings made to Hot Folder/Virtual Printers override the user’s printer driver settings.

• Settings made from the job management tools override the user’s printer driver settings.

Print options and settings

PRINT OPTIONS 9

This chapter explains the Fiery EX4112/4127 print options, default settings, and any constraints or requirements. It also provides detailed descriptions of specific print options, beginning on page 35.

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 Fiery EX4112/4127 prints the job with the underlined setting.

For options that you configure in Setup from Command WorkStation or WebTools Configure, choosing Printer’s default results in the Fiery EX4112/4127 printing the job with the setting you specified in Setup. For options that cannot be configured in Setup, the Fiery EX4112/4127 prints the job with a preconfigured Printer’s default setting. For more information, see the Requirements, constraints, and information column in the following table.

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

Setup.

Customizing the printer driver

The Basic pane (Windows) or Quick Access pane (Mac) allows you to customize the printer driver using shortcuts (up to 16) for frequently used print options. For information, see Driver Help.
