the following:
• To use Fiery EX4112/4127 user software on a Windows computer, the Sun Java file,
Java Runtime Environment (JRE), provided in the Common Utilities folder on the

Mixed Media
The Mixed Media feature allows you to define the chapter divisions of a job, print ranges of

The following guidelines and restrictions apply to Mixed Media settings:
• The Mixed Media dialog box restricts you from specifying settings that conflict with
any media, page size, or finishing settings that have been specified for the job in the
Job Properties dialog box or printer driver.
• When two or more Mixed Media settings are in conflict with each other, the Mixed Media
dialog box highlights the setting names in red, signaling you to resolve the conflict.
• When you specify print options (in the Job Properties dialog box or printer driver) after
specifying Mixed Media settings, certain print options may conflict with the page-specific
Mixed Media settings. You must resolve the conflict by choosing different print options or
removing certain Mixed Media specifications.
• If counters are configured for the copier, blank media inserted between pages count as
printed pages.
Basic instructions for accessing and using Mixed Media are provided in Command
WorkStation Help. Features specific to the Fiery EX4112/4127 are described in the following
procedures.
COMMAND WORKSTATION, WINDOWS EDITION 23
TO DEFINE MIXED MEDIA SPECIFICATIONS
1 Select or right-click a spooled/held job in the Active Jobs window and choose Properties from
the Actions menu or double-click a job.
2 Click the Media icon and scroll down to Mixed Media.
The Mixed Media dialog box lists any previously defined media settings and includes buttons
for defining, modifying, and removing settings.
3 For Chapter Start Page(s), type the page numbers on which you want to start new chapter
sections.
Type page numbers as comma-separated values (for example: 4,9,17) to designate the start of
each new chapter. This feature forces each starting page to use a right-side page, adding a
preceding left-sided blank, if required.
NOTE: It is not necessary to type the first page. Page numbers refer to the numbering of the
original document. If you use the Chapter Start Page(s) feature, all media specified in the
Paper menu per chapter must share the same dimensions (for example, all Letter, all Tabloid,
or all A4).
4 To apply finishing options (for example, stapling or sorting) to each chapter created using
the Chapter Start feature, select the “Define Each Chapter As A Separate Finishing Set”
option.
NOTE: You can use the Define Each Chapter As A Separate Finishing Set function to define
subset finishing styles when the finishing style is the same for the entire set. For example, if
you specify stapling with a 10-page document with Chapter Start Page(s) as 3,6, the pages are
divided into 1–2, 3–5 and 6–10 groups and each group is stapled. You can also use Chapter
subsets to specify Multi-Center Fold and Fold and Staple finishing options.
NOTE: Not all finishing options can be applied to chapters that contain mixed sizes of media
(for example, Letter and A4).

The Mixed Media settings are applied to the job.
NOTE: You can save up to 100 different settings for the Selection list in the Mixed Media
dialog box.
