This chapter describes printer drivers and PPD files, Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 print options,
and locations for setting print options.
About printer drivers and printer description files
The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs)
the files, and then sends them to the digital press. Windows and Apple Mac OS computers
communicate with the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 by means of a printer driver and PPD files.
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, a
language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript file
based on your original file and the options you set from the Print dialog box.
6
A printer driver also allows you to select print options for your digital press. To do this,
the printer driver must be matched with a PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file for
your Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. A PPD 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 file and presents that
information to you in the form of options you select in the Print dialog box. The PPD file
for the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 includes information about the features of both the digital
press and the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. For information about the specific print options for
the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, see the table on page 10.
PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW
About print options
Print options give you access to the special features of your digital press and Fiery EXP6000/
EXP5000. Print options can be specified in several places—in Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000
Setup, or from the printing application, EFI Fiery ColorWise Pro Tools, EFI Hot Folders,
or EFI Command WorkStation.
Print option override hierarchy
The override hierarchy is as follows:
•A user’s printer driver settings override the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 Setup and
ColorWise Pro Tools settings.
•Settings made from Command WorkStation override the user’s printer driver settings.
7
PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW
Setting print options
•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 the 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 Fiery Downloader
You can specify only a few settings, such as Copies, Page Range (for PDF files), and
Brightness (for PostScript and EPS files only) when printing jobs with Downloader.
To change options in Downloader, select a job in the Files to be Downloaded (Windows)
or Files to Download (Mac OS) list and click Options. For more information, see Utilities .
8
•From ColorWise Pro Tools
Set the default CMYK Simulation Profile, CMYK Simulation Method, RGB Source
Profile, RGB Separation, Output Profile, Rendering Style, Spot Color Matching, Pure
Black Text/Graphics, and Black Overprint settings. For more information about using
ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing .
•From Hot Folders
Assign a group of print options to 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.

This chapter explains each print option, default setting, and any constraints or requirements.
It also provides details about specific print options.
Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 print options
In the following table, underlined settings in the Option and settings column indicate
default printer driver settings (PPD defaults). If you do not use the printer driver interface
to configure a particular option, the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 prints the job with the
underlined setting.
For options that you configure in Setup from FieryBar, Command WorkStation, WebSetup,
or ColorWise Pro Tools, choosing Printer’s default results in the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000
printing the job with the setting you specified in Setup. For options that cannot be configured
in Setup, the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 prints the job with a preconfigured Printer’s default
setting. For more information, see the Requirements, constraints, and information column
in the table.

Creep Adjustment
Use this option to adjust images that may shift from the center of the sheet in booklet jobs.
Creep occurs in booklets that contain a large number of pages or when booklets are printed
on heavy media.

the Duplex option to Top-Top.
Duplex
The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 digital press is equipped for automatic duplex printing. When
the Duplex print option is set to one of the duplex settings, the digital press automatically
turns the paper for printing on the opposite side.

PRINT OPTIONS
Image Shift
Image Shift allows you to specify how much the image on each page should be shifted relative
to the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axis. Moving the job content in this manner enables you
to allow for various finishing options, such as stapling and binding. Image Shift prevents the
image from being clipped.
NOTE: This option is available in the Windows printer drivers or Command WorkStation.
NOTE: This option is effective only for jobs in which Layout is set to 1-up.
TO DEFINE IMAGE SHIFT FOR A PRINT JOB
1 In the printer driver, click the Image Shift print option bar.
23
2 Select the unit of measurement.
3Type Front and Back image shift settings in the X and Y axis fields. You can also use the arrow
buttons to shift the image settings.
NOTE: The maximum value for both X and Y axes is 999.99 points/13.88 inches/352.77 mm.
4To align front and back images proportionately, select Align front and back images.
Scale
The operator can specify a scaling override, but the override is applied to any scaling value
already set in the active job. For example, if a user sends a job with a scaling value of 50% and
the operator specifies a Scale override of 200%, the job is printed at 100% of the original
document size, that is, 50% of 200%.
