Setting up the Windows computer for printing

Now that you the printer driver files are installed, you need to configure the proper connection for your networked EX700i printer.

To print from Windows computers, you or the administrator must perform the following tasks to set up a connection other than port 9100:

• Set up network servers, if any.

• Set up the EX700i to accept print jobs from your computer.

• Configure a port on each Windows computer for the network type.

Setting up printing connections

The EX700i supports the following printing connections:

•SMB

• Standard TCP/IP (RAW or LPR)

• IPP or IPP over SSL

For the location of each procedure, see the following table.

Procedure See

Completing the SMB printing connection page 46

Completing Standard TCP/IP Port (Raw or LPR) printing connections page 47

Completing IPP connections page 50

Configuring installable options page 53

Completing the SMB printing connection

If your network does not have a Windows server, Windows computers can still print to the EX700i. This method of printing is SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing). When users send print jobs, Windows computers operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the EX700i.

Enabling SMB printing allows the EX700i to be listed on the network, so that Windows clients can print to a particular print connection (Print queue, Hold queue, Direct connection or Virtual Printer) on the EX700i without using other networking software. Windows printing runs via TCP/IP. You must configure TCP/IP on the EX700i and on all computers that use SMB printing.

After you enable SMB printing on the EX700i, you can set up the Windows or SMB connection and install the printer driver in one procedure. For more information, see

“Installing printer drivers by Point and Print” on page 35.

To print from Windows platforms, install the PostScript printer driver. For instructions, see

“Installing Windows printer drivers” on page 34. Be sure to configure the options on the

Advanced tab of the printer driver after installation is complete, as described on page 39.

If you print to a virtual printer, you may not be able to set some print options, depending on how the virtual printer is configured.

Some print options that are selectable from an application are similar to print options that are specific to the EX700i and the digital press. In these cases, use the print options specific to the EX700i and the digital press. These options appear in the Fiery Printing tab. The application may not set up the file properly for printing on the EX700i, resulting in unexpected finishing, printing errors, or longer processing time.

If you specify incompatible print settings when printing a document, the Conflict dialog box provides instructions to resolve the conflict.

Some print options, such as expert color settings, are available only if Two-Way Communication is enabled or a particular installable option is configured. For information about enabling Two-Way Communication, see printer driver Help. For information about configuring installable options, see “Configuring installable options” on page 53.

If you choose Printer’s default, the job prints according to the settings that the administrator specified in Setup. For more information, see page 99.

The following procedures explain how to use the printer driver to specify print options for a particular job and print it to the EX700i. You can also set default print settings using the driver. For information about print options, see page 98.

TO CORRECTLY CONFIGURE INSTALLABLE OPTIONS

1 After you install the printer driver, right-click the printer icon, choose Properties, click the

Accessories tab, and then choose your installed options.

2 Click OK or Apply.
