This chapter describes printer drivers and PPD files, Fiery EXP4110 print options, and
locations for setting print options.
About printer drivers and printer description files
The Fiery EXP4110 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the files,
and then sends them to the printer. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with
the Fiery EXP4110 by means of a printer driver and PPD files. Windows computers can also
communicate with the Fiery EXP4110 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 EXP4110 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 printer. To do this, the printer
driver must be matched with a PPD/PDD file for your Fiery EXP4110. 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 EXP4110 includes information
about the features of both the printer and the Fiery EXP4110. For information about the
specific print options for the Fiery EXP4110, see the table on page 10.
PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW
Setting print options
Print options give you access to the special features of your printer and Fiery EXP4110.
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 OPTIONS OVERVIEW
Print option override hierarchy
The override hierarchy is as follows:
•A user’s printer driver settings override the Fiery EXP4110 Setup.
•Settings made from the job management tools override the user’s printer driver settings.
