PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW
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.

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.
