INSTALLING PRINTER DRIVERS
Installing printer drivers by Point and Print
SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing) allows you to install PostScript or
PCL printer drivers and printer description files on your computer from the Fiery EXP4110
using Point and Print, and print to a particular connection (Print queue, Hold queue, or
Direct connection). To set up SMB printing, you must install the TCP/IP protocol and
Client for Microsoft Networks on your computer.
Each connection (Print queue, Hold queue, or Direct connection) requires a separate
installation. Repeat the procedure for each connection.
When you install the printer driver using Point and Print, you cannot configure installable
options manually. Installable options must be configured by the Fiery EXP4110
administrator. The installed options are displayed in the printer driver when you enable
Two-Way Communication. For more information, see Configuring Installable Options.

SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS
SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS
To print from Windows computers, you or the administrator must perform the
following tasks:
•Set up network servers, if any.
•Set up the Fiery EXP4110 to accept print jobs from your computer.
• Configure a port on each Windows computer for the network type.
Printing connections
The Fiery EXP4110 supports the following printing connections:
18
• SMB
•TCP/IP and LPR
• IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell)
• IPP
SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS
Completing the SMB printing connection
If your network does not have a Windows server, Windows computers can still print to the
Fiery EXP4110. This method of printing is SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS
printing). When users send print jobs, computers running Windows operate in a peer-to-peer
environment and communicate directly with the Fiery EXP4110.
Enabling SMB printing allows the Fiery EXP4110 to be listed on the network, so that
Windows clients can print to a particular print connection (Hold queue, Print queue,
or Direct connection) on the Fiery EXP4110 without using other networking software.
Windows printing runs via TCP/IP. You must configure TCP/IP on the Fiery EXP4110 and
on all computers that use SMB printing.
Once you enable SMB printing on the Fiery EXP4110, 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 10.
19
SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS
Completing TCP/IP and LPR printing connections
Procedures for setting up the printing connections are described in the following sections.
NOTE: TCP/IP printing is different from a TCP/IP connection. Setting up TCP/IP printing
and configuring your computer for TCP/IP connection are two separate steps.
Once you have installed the PostScript and printer driver files, complete the setup for the
TCP/IP and LPR connection as follows:
•Prepare the Fiery EXP4110 to accept print jobs using TCP/IP and LPR protocols.
For details, see Configuration and Setup.
•Enable LPD or Port 9100 on the Fiery EXP4110. For details, see Configuration and Setup.

Using E-mail Service
E-mail Service allows you to control the Fiery EXP4110 using your current e-mail
infrastructure and print to remote locations and bypass firewalls. E-mail Service is not
application-specific. You can use any e-mail infrastructure.
With E-mail Service, you can submit jobs to the Fiery EXP4110 as e-mail attachments.
Use E-mail Service in the following ways:
•Print and manage print jobs using an e-mail client.
•Print using the Mail Port.
39
PRINTING UTILITIES
How E-mail Service works
To set up E-mail Service, see Configuration and Setup.
To print with an e-mail client, you send a file as an e-mail attachment. E-mail Service extracts
the file and sends it to the Fiery EXP4110. The attachment can be in any format the
Fiery EXP4110 recognizes (PostScript, PDF, or TIFF).
NOTE: E-mail Service does not process files with .vbs, .exe, or .bat extensions.
To print through Mail Port, you must set up Mail Port as described in “Configuring the
connection for Mail Port” on page 36. When you print from an application and select the
printer connected to the Mail Port., the print job is sent to the Fiery EXP4110 via e-mail.
The Fiery EXP4110 supports internal address books. Administrators can retrieve, add, delete,
and clear addresses from the address books by sending requests via e-mail. For more
information about address books, see Configuration and Setup.
Printing using an e-mail client
40
You can submit print jobs to the Fiery EXP4110 in the form of an e-mail attachment using
your e-mail application. When you send an e-mail with an attachment, E-mail Service
extracts the file and sends it to the Fiery EXP4110 Print queue. The file format must be one
supported by the Fiery EXP4110.
By default, anyone can print with an e-mail client, unless the Print address book has been set
up by the administrator. If the Print address book has been set up and your e-mail address is
not in it, you cannot send files to the Fiery EXP4110 via e-mail. For more information about
address books, see Configuration and Setup.
NOTE: The Hold queue and Direct connection are not supported by the e-mail client feature.
NOTE: The following illustrations depict the Microsoft Outlook e-mail application.

4Attach the file that you want to print.
The attachment can be in any format the Fiery EXP4110 recognizes (PostScript, PDF,
or TIFF).
NOTE: If your attachment exceeds the file size limitation set by your e-mail system
administrator, the e-mail is not sent.
41
5 Optionally, you can type text in the body of the message. That text is printed with the file.
NOTE: HTML-formatted e-mail messages are not supported, and they might not print as they
appear on the remote workstation. Send e-mail messages in plain text format.
6 Send the e-mail.
The file is sent to the Fiery EXP4110 and the job is printed. After the Fiery EXP4110 receives
the job, you are sent an e-mail notification that the print job was accepted. The e-mail
provides a job identification (ID). Use the job IDs to manage jobs with Job Control (see
the following section). The e-mail notification indicates any current error at the printer.
Once the job has been printed, you are sent a second e-mail notification that indicates the job
printed successfully.
NOTE: If you send a TIFF file that was compressed using G3MH or G4MMR, the file is
printed correctly but no e-mail notifications are sent.
Use Job Control to see if your job printed successfully.
PRINTING UTILITIES
Job Control
You can manage your print jobs by submitting commands to the Fiery EXP4110 via e-mail.
You can cancel a job, check job status, and get help on a job. Once you send a command, the
Fiery EXP4110 returns an e-mail response.
TOMANAGEPRINTJOBSWITH JOB CONTROL

Printing from applications
After you install the Fiery EXP4110 printer driver and configure the proper port, you can
print directly from most Windows applications. Set the print options for the job and choose
Print from your application.
Setting options and printing
To print from all Windows platforms, install the corresponding PostScript printer driver or
PCL printer driver. For instructions, see Installing Printer Drivers. The drivers are included
on the User Software (Drivers) CD and on the Fiery EXP4110.
On Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, be sure to configure the options in the Advanced tab of
the printer driver after installation is complete, as described on page 14.
Once you install the printer driver and printer description files, you can specify print settings
for a particular job and print it to the Fiery EXP4110. You can also set default print settings
using the driver.
45
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.
To print from Windows applications on a computer connected to a print server, the print
server must be a Novell NetWare, Windows 2000/Server 2003, or UNIX server. For more
information, see Configuration and Setup.
The following procedures explain how to use the printer driver to specify print options.
For information about specific print options, see Print Options.
