MAC OS X

MAC OS X 10

To set up the EX700i as a PostScript printer on a Mac OS X computer, install the printer
driver files that correspond to your digital press and set up the EX700i for printing. Printer
drivers provide a way to communicate information about print jobs between your
applications, the EX700i, and the digital press.

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

Procedure See

Installing the Mac OS X printer driver files page 10

Setting up the Mac OS X computer for printing page 14

Printing from Mac OS X computers page 28

Installing the Mac OS X printer driver files

Installing printer drivers files is the first step in setting up the EX700i as a printer.

NOTE: If the EX700i printer driver is already installed, you must uninstall it before you install

a new driver (see “Uninstalling printer driver files” on page 13).

The following sections describe how to install the printer files for the EX700i.

Procedure See

Installing printer drivers from the User Software DVD page 11

Downloading printer drivers using WebTools page 12

Downloading printer drivers from the EX700i page 12

Uninstalling printer driver files page 13

MAC OS X 11

Installing from the User Software DVD

The User Software DVD provides the following software for Mac OS X (see the
OSX : Printer Driver folder):

•

OSX Installer: Installs the printer driver files required to print from Mac OS X.

•

Language folders: Printer description files that are installed by OSX Installer. You do not

need to open these folders or install them manually on your computer. The appropriate
files are installed by OSX Installer.

TO INSTALL THE PRINTER DRIVER FILES FOR MAC OS X

1 Quit all open applications.

2 Mac OS X v10.3.9 and v10.4.x: Make sure that the Printer Setup Utility is not running on your

computer.

Printer Setup Utility updates the list of available printers when it starts. If a printer
description file is added while Printer Setup Utility is running, you cannot select the
associated printer model until you restart.

Mac OS X v10.5.x and v10.6.x: Proceed to step 3.

3 Insert the User Software DVD into the DVD drive.

4 Open the OSX : Printer Driver folder on the User Software DVD.

If you are installing from a folder you downloaded from WebTools or the EX700i, browse to
the Printer Driver folder on your desktop.

5 Double-click the OSX Installer icon to start installing the printer driver.

6 Follow the on-screen instructions.

The OSX Installer installs the printer driver files that correspond to the EX700i.

7 When copying is complete, click Quit.

MAC OS X 12

Downloading printer drivers using WebTools

If your administrator has enabled access to WebTools, you can download installers for printer
drivers to your computer directly from the EX700i.

For more information about setting up and starting WebTools, see Utilities.

TO DOWNLOAD PRINTER DRIVERS WITH WEBTOOLS

1 Start your Internet or intranet browser and type the DNS name or IP address of the EX700i.

2 Click the Downloads tab.

3 Click the link for the printer drivers that you want to install (Printer Files for Mac OS X).

A file named OSX.dmg is downloaded to your desktop. The file contains a folder named
Printer Driver in a compressed format. If your Internet browser is equipped with an expander
utility, such as StuffIt Expander, the folder decodes and decompresses automatically.

If the Printer Driver folder does not automatically decode and decompress, double-click the
file to start the utility that performs that function.

4 Open the OSX : Printer Driver folder.

5 Double-click the OSX Installer icon to start installing the printer driver.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

6 When copying is complete, click Quit.

Downloading printer drivers from the EX700i

You can download printer driver files to your computer directly from the EX700i over the
network.

TO DOWNLOAD PRINTER DRIVER FILES FROM THE EX700I

1 In the Finder, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu.

2 Type SMB:// followed by the name or IP address of the EX700i and click Connect.

If you cannot locate your EX700i, contact your administrator.

3 Type the user name and password in the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication dialog box.

The “Guest” account can be used as the default. The Guest account does not require a
password. If the Guest account cannot be used, ask your network administrator for an
account.

4 Select the Mac_User_SW folder from the shared volume list and click OK.

5 Open the OSX : Printer Driver folder.

6 Double-click the OSX Installer icon to start installing the printer driver.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

MAC OS X 13

Uninstalling printer driver files

The Fiery Software Uninstaller utility is installed and used locally. You do not need to connect
to the EX700i before you use the software.

TO INSTALL AND USE THE FIERY SOFTWARE UNINSTALLER UTILITY

Setting print options and printing from Mac OS X applications

To print from Mac OS X client computers, install the printer driver files. For instructions, see

“Installing the Mac OS X printer driver files” on page 10. In Mac OS X applications, print

options are set from the Print dialog box.

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 Features pane and/or in the
Printing Preferences window. 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 if a particular installable option has been configured. For
information about enabling Two-Way Communication, see printer driver Help. For
information about configuring installable options, see “Configuring installable options” on
page 27.

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.
