ix About this manual

Preface

The Fiery XJ+ 525 Color Server™ enables you to use your color copier as a networked printer. You can use the Fiery XJ™ to print ﬁnal documents or to proof jobs you will later print on an offset press. You send a print job to the Fiery XJ as you would to any other printer—you select it from the Printers dialog box on W indows computers, or in the Chooser on Mac OS computers—and then print from within any application.

The Fiery XJ+ 525 Color Server includes Command WorkStation™ software, which enables an operator to manage all jobs sent to the Fiery XJ. Although it may not be the case at all sites, the documentation for this product assumes the presence of an operator who controls and manages jobs sent by users from remote workstations.

About this manual

This manual is intended for those remote users who send jobs via the network or via a parallel port connection between the Fiery XJ and a user’s workstation. It covers the following topics:

• Printing from a Windows computer

• Printing from a Mac OS computer

• Printing from UNIX

• Downloading ﬁles and fonts using Fiery Downloader

• Specifying and overriding job settings, a list of fonts installed on the Fiery XJ, and troubleshooting information

How the Fiery XJ works

The Fiery XJ receives ﬁles from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) those ﬁles, and then sends them to the copier’s print engine for printing. Even with the Fiery XJ installed, you can still use the copier to make copies.

When printing from an application, your Windows or Mac OS computer communicates with the Fiery XJ by means of a PostScript printer driver and a PostScript printer description ﬁle (PPD).

About PostScript printer drivers and PPDs

A PostScript printer driver is an application that manages printing communication between your application software and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application software, merges those instructions with printer-speciﬁc PPD options you specify (see below), and translates all that information into PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other wor ds, the printer driver writes a PostScript ﬁle based on your original ﬁle and the options you set from the Print dialog box.

A PPD ﬁle contains information about a particular device’s features and capabilities (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The PostScript printer

xi Before you begin

driver reads the information in the PPD ﬁle and presents that information to you in the form of options you can choose from the Print dialog box. The PPD for the Fiery XJ includes information about the features of both the copier and the Fiery XJ Color Server.

For information on the PPD options for your Fiery XJ, see Appendix A, “Print Options.”

Before you begin

Before using the Fiery XJ, follow these steps:

1. Conﬁrm that the system administrator has completed Setup as described in the

Conﬁguration Guide

2. Find out what printer defaults the administrator speciﬁed in Setup.

These default settings can affect the results of your print jobs. Check with your administrator or operator for information on these default settings.

3. Conﬁrm that the user software is installed correctly on your workstation, as described in

Getting Started

4. Consult the affect color output.

5. Find out how your workstation is conﬁgured for printing on the network.

for information on print options and application features that

If your site has an operator who controls all printing, you may have access to the Hold queue only . I n this case, all jobs you send are spooled to the F iery XJ and held until the operator sends them to their next stage of processing.

You may also have access to the Print queue. If you send jobs to this queue, jobs spool to the Fiery XJ and proceed to RIP and print according to your job settings—unless someone (you, or an operator, for example) intervenes.

Lastly, you may have access to the Direct connection, which sends jobs straight to the server without spooling.

6. Find out whether the Fiery XJ is set up to use Fiery WebTools and what your access privileges are.

The administrator may or may not have enabled access to the server via the Internet (or an intranet). If access is enabled, a password may be required to perform job management with Fiery WebSpooler.

1-1 Printing from applications

Chapter 1: Printing from Windows Computers

This chapter describes how to print to the Fiery XJ from Windows 95, Windows 3.1x, and Windows NT 4.0.

You can print from a networked Windows computer, or from a Windows computer connected to the parallel port on the Fiery XJ. If you plan to print ﬁles at another location, you should follow the procedures described in “Saving ﬁles to print at a remote location” on page 1-11.

Another way to print from a Windows computer is to download PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), or Portable Document Format (PDF) ﬁles using Fiery Downloader.

Chapter 2: Printing from Mac OS Computers

TO SELECT THE FIERY XJ AS THE CURRENT PRINTER:

You can print to the Fiery XJ just as you would print to any other printer from any application software. First, select the Fiery XJ as the current printer in the Chooser, and then print the ﬁle from within your application.

Another way to print from a Mac OS computer is to download PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), or Portable Document Format (PDF) ﬁles using Fiery Downloader.

Printing from applications

Before you can print to the Fiery XJ from applications, you must select the F iery XJ in the Chooser. Then, using the Adobe PostScript printer driver and the correct PostScript Printer Description ﬁle (PPD), you can control many Fiery XJ printing features by specifying job settings from print dialog boxes.

For information on achieving the best printing results from speciﬁc applications, see the Color Guide.

Selecting the Fiery XJ in the Chooser

Before you print a job, make sure the Fiery XJ is the currently selected printer.

1. Make sure the Fiery XJ is connected to the network and turned on.

2. Choose Chooser from the Apple menu.

3. Click the AdobePS icon to select it.

4. If the network is divided into zones, select the zone in which the Fiery XJ is located.

“Select a PostScript Printer” list.

The names of all supported printers in the zone appear in the scroll list on the right. For information about setting up the Fiery XJ in the Chooser, see Getting Started.

NOTE: If your system administrator has not enabled the connection to the Print queue

or the Direct connection, the corresponding name will not appear in this list. For example, if your site has an operator who controls the ﬂow of print jobs from the Command WorkStation, you may be able to print only to the Hold queue.

The Fiery XJ remains selected as the current printer until you choose a new printer in the Chooser.

Setting print options and printing from Mac OS computers

In Mac OS applications, print options are set from both the P age S etup dialog box and the Print dialog box. For details, see Appendix A, “Print Options.”

NOTE: Some default print options are set by the administrator during Setup. Check

with the administrator or the operator for information on the current server default settings.

TO SET PRINT OPTIONS AND PRINT WITH THE ADOBEPS PRINTER DRIVER:

1. Open the ﬁle you want to print, and choose Page Setup from the application’s File menu.

The PSPrinter Page Setup dialog box appears.

2. In the Paper pop-up menu, specify the page size for the job and click OK.

In the Notes 1 and Notes 2 areas, enter user and job identiﬁcation information for accounting purposes, or whatever information is required at your site. These notes will appear in the Job Log.

5. From the Job Notes pop-up menu, choose Printer Speciﬁc Options.

2-4 Printing from Mac OS Computers

6. Specify the appropriate settings for the print job.

These print options are speciﬁc to the Fiery XJ (you may need to scroll to see all the options). They override settings in Fiery XJ Printer Setup; the settings can also be changed in the Properties dialog box with the Command WorkStation, or in the Override Print Settings dialog box with Fiery WebSpooler. For information about these options and overrides, see Appendix A, “Print Options.”

If you choose Printer’s default, the Fiery XJ prints with the default setting entered during Setup.

Some PPD options are ones that could also be set from an application (for example, Reverse Order printing or Collation). In these cases, use the PPD option to perform the function, rather than setting it from the application. The application may not set up the ﬁle properly for printing on the Fiery XJ and may also take longer to process.

7. If you want to make the new settings the default settings, click Save Settings.

Chapter 3: Printing from UNIX Workstations

You can print to the Fiery XJ directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed to the Fiery XJ are sent to the Print or Hold queue and can be manipulated from the Command WorkStation or from Windows or Mac OS computers on the network using Fiery WebSpooler.

NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene at the Command

WorkStation or from Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.

The queue name and Fiery XJ printer name are determined by your system administrator. Contact your system administrator for the names of your queues.

For information about setting up printing from TCP/IP, see your UNIX system documentation.

Printing to the Fiery XJ

You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript and text ﬁles to the Fiery XJ. In general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to a Fiery XJ. See UNIX manual pages or other documentation for information about UNIX commands.

NOTE: Only PostScript or text ﬁles can be printed from UNIX.

TO PRINT FROM UNIX:

• On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the Fiery XJ as follows:

lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies> <filename>

For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery XJ is named print_Server, your ﬁle is named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:

lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample

3-2 Printing from UNIX Workstations

• On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lp command to send a job to the Fiery XJ as follows:

lp -d <printername> {-n <-#copies>} <filename>

For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery XJ is named print_Server, your ﬁle is named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:

lp -d print_Server -n 2 Sample

TO DISPLAY A LIST OF JOBS IN THE QUEUE:

• On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lpq command to see printer jobs in the queue as follows:

lpq <-Pprinter>

For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery XJ is named print_Server, type:

lpq -Pprint_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

• On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lpstat command to see printer jobs in the queue as follows:

lpstat -o <printername>

For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery XJ is named print_Server, type:

lpstat -o print_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

3-3 Printing to the Fiery XJ

TO REMOVE JOBS FROM THE QUEUE:

NOTE: Unless you log in as the root user, you can remove only your own jobs.

• On a system running SunOS 4.1.x or another BSD-based variant, use the lprm command to remove jobs from the queue as follows.

lprm <-Pprinter> <job #…>

You can use the lpq command to check the job number.

For example, to remov e job number 123 from the Print queue of your Fiery XJ named

print_Server, type: lprm -Pprint_Server 123

The lprm command reports the names of any ﬁles it removes.

• On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the cancel command to remove jobs from the queue.

cancel <printername> <job ID>

For example, to remov e job number 123 from the Print queue of your Fiery XJ named

print_Server, type: cancel print_Server 123

4-1 Using Fiery Downloader

Chapter 4: Downloading Files and Fonts

4-7 Using Fiery Downloader

Downloading and managing printer fonts

The Fiery XJ includes 136 PostScript fonts; for a complete list, see Appendix B “Font List.” In addition, two Adobe Multiple Master fonts are included and are used for font substitution in PDF ﬁles.

NOTE: The Direct connection must be published on the Fiery XJ in order to download

and manage fonts, and to view the font list.

Before downloading a ﬁle that uses fonts not resident on the Fiery XJ, you must download the fonts (unless the fonts are embedded in the ﬁle). To see what fonts are resident on the Fiery XJ, choose Font List from the File menu or click the Font List button (see page 4-9).

You can download fonts only via the Direct connection. If you do not have access to the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the ﬁle in the ﬁle when you generate it.

The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the Fiery XJ are not automatically installed on your Windows system.

NOTE: You cannot use Fiery Downloader to download TrueType fonts. If you use

TrueType fonts in Windows, you can print them by converting them to Adobe Type 1 fonts. To do this with the Adobe PS printer driver, click the Fonts tab and set up the Font Substitution Table as necessary.

Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts

Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Fiery XJ come in two forms: printer fonts and screen fonts. The printer fonts are installed permanently on the Fiery XJ hard disk. The screen fonts, which are included with the Fiery XJ user software, should be installed on your Mac OS computer . I f you are using these fonts in documents you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, you will need to install them yourself. For instructions, see Getting Started.

4-8 Downloading Files and Fonts

Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS) fonts that are not included with the Fiery XJ. If so, you will need to install both the screen fonts and the printer fonts on your computer . To do this, follow the instructions from the font manufacturer.

Downloading printer fonts to the Fiery XJ

In general, each time you print from within a Mac OS application, the application automatically downloads any fonts used in your document that are not already installed on the Fiery XJ, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your System Folder. These fonts remain in the Fiery XJ only until your document has printed. If you print the same document again, your application must download the fonts again.

If you regularly use one or more fonts from Windows or Mac OS applications that are not already installed in the Fiery XJ, you can save time by downloading them to the Fiery XJ hard disk with Fiery Downloader. Fonts you download to the Fiery XJ hard disk remain installed until you remove them using Fiery Downloader, no matter how many times the Fiery XJ is turned off and on. You’ll probably want to download fonts you use on a regular basis to the Fiery XJ hard disk.

Before you download P ostScript or EPS ﬁles with F iery Downloader, make sure that all fonts included in your ﬁle are installed on the Fiery XJ or embedded in your ﬁle; otherwise the text in these fonts will not print correctly and may not print at all. For PDF ﬁles, font substitution occurs automatically for fonts not installed on the Fiery XJ. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored on the Fiery XJ are used exclusively for substitution with PDF ﬁles.

Chapter 5: Tracking and Managing Print Jobs

Fiery XJ user software includes a variety of tools that allow you to track and manage print jobs. The particular tools, and the access privileges for them, that are available to you depend on the conditions implemented by your site administrator.

The Command WorkStation and Fiery WebS pooler pro vide the capability to view and control the ﬂow of print jobs to the Fiery XJ. If the administrator has set Administrator and Operator passwords in Setup, you need one of these passwords to perform most Command WorkStation and Fiery WebSpooler functions. For information on these tools and the access privileges needed to use them, see the Job Management Guide.

The Status WebTool does not require any special access privileges. If the administrator has enabled Web Services in Setup and has provided you with the IP address of the Fiery XJ, you can use the Status W ebTool to monitor the status of print jobs as they are rasterized and printed.

Fiery WebTools

Fiery WebTools reside on the Fiery XJ but can be accessed over the network from a variety of platforms. The Fiery XJ has a home page that lets remote users view server functions and manipulate jobs. For an overview of the Fiery WebTools and information on how to access them, see the Job Management Guide. This chapter describes only the Status WebTool and WebLink.

TO ACCESS THE FIERY WEBTOOLS:

1. Start up your Internet browser application.

See Getting Started for information about supported platforms and browsers.

2. Enter the IP address or the DNS name of the Fiery XJ.

Check with the operator or administrator for this information.

More about print options

The following sections provide additional information about print options. See the table above for information on the settings, requirements, and constraints in effect for these options.

CMYK Simulation

CMYK Simulation allows you to change the simulation goal for the current print job only. As the job begins processing, the simulation goal selected in CMYK Simulation is applied before printing.

NOTE: Choosing Printer’s default results in the job being printed with the simulation

goal currently set on the Fiery XJ.

SWOP-Coated—Uses the United States press standard. DIC—Uses the Japanese press standard. Euroscale—Uses the European press standard.

A-7 Print Options

Custom-1—Uses a custom simulation goal. Before selecting this setting, you are

required to create a new simulation goal with Fiery Print Calibrator and name the simulation goal exactly as follows: Custom-1.

Custom-2—Uses a second custom simulation goal. Before selecting this setting, you are

required to create a new simulation goal with Fiery Print Calibrator and name the simulation goal exactly as follows: Custom-2.

Custom-3—Uses a third custom simulation goal. Before selecting this setting, you are

required to create a new simulation goal with Fiery Print Calibrator and name the simulation goal exactly as follows: Custom-3.

Custom-4—Uses a fourth custom simulation goal. Before selecting this setting, you are

required to create a new simulation goal with Fiery Print Calibrator and name the simulation goal exactly as follows: Custom-4.

Custom-5—Uses a ﬁfth custom simulation goal. Before selecting this setting, you are

required to create a new simulation goal with Fiery Print Calibrator and name the simulation goal exactly as follows: Custom-5.

None—Uses no simulation goal. Select this setting when the CMYK data for your job

has already been separated for your speciﬁc printer (for example, when using the Color Management System built into your computer to convert the CMYK data to the printer’s color space).

For more information about calibration, see the Job Management Guide.

Color Mode

CMYK—Disables Copier Mode settings and enables Sharpness settings. In this mode,

RGB to CMYK color conversions are performed by the Fiery XJ.

Grayscale—Disables Copier Mode and Sharpness settings.

Combine Separations

The Combine Separations option speciﬁes whether to combine color separations (created in desktop publishing applications such as QuarkXPress or A dobe P ageMaker) on a single page to simulate printing on a press from ﬁlm separations. It allows you to proof overprinting, trapping, and other four-color printing effects before having ﬁlm separations created. It also enables you to combine Desktop Color Separations (DCS) format ﬁles to print them at full resolution instead of printing the low-resolution master ﬁle. Selecting the appropriate color rendering dictionary (CRD) setting for the type of image you are printing ensures optimal color output on the Fiery XJ.

A-8 Print Options

Y our job must hav e been printed as color separations or DCS format when you printed it from your application. If you did not print the job in this manner, the Combine Separations option has no effect.

Duplex

The following restrictions apply for duplex (two-sided) printing:

• Automatic and manual duplex printing is for plain paper only.

• Neither automatic nor manual duplex printing is available for transparencies.

TO PRINT DUPLEX PAGES:

1. Choose Print in your application, and locate the Duplex print option.

The location of Fiery XJ print options varies, depending on the printer driver you are using.

2. Choose one of the Duplex settings:

—Prints the top of the image on side 1 on the same edge of the page as the top

C-1 Troubleshooting

Appendix C: Troubleshooting

This appendix provides troubleshooting tips.

Maintaining optimal system performance

The Fiery XJ does not require maintenance. Beyond the routine requirements of servicing and maintaining the copier and replenishing consumables there are a few things you can do to improve the overall performance of your system:

• Reduce unnecessary two-way communication. If users notice that the server is frequently too busy to receive jobs, it may be because

several users are running utilities that are updated often. Large numbers of remote users running Fiery Downloader or the Fiery WebTools may have a signiﬁcant effect on Fiery XJ performance.

• Schedule the printing workload by checking job ticket information before printing. Print jobs with the same output and paper speciﬁcations together to minimize paper changes. Also, print routine jobs while you prepare to print jobs with special instructions or special media.

• Reduce unnecessary server connections at the Command WorkStation. If you use a second or third Fiery XJ Color Server on an occasional basis, performance will be improved if you log off when you are not using it.

• Avoid printing with the server “Disk full” warning. If you see this warning, delete jobs from the Queues window that have been held for

a long time and are not likely to be needed. Avoid this condition by deleting old jobs on a regular basis. The date associated with a job is the original date it was sent.

Even when the disk is full, 128KB of disk space is reserved for printing a tabloid size job, but printing proceeds only when the oldest printed job is deleted from the Printed queue (Print area).

C-2 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

In case of problems, and before you call for service, check the guidelines in this section. If you are unable to resolve the problem, make a note of the error condition and contact your authorized service/support center.

This section provides some troubleshooting guidelines should a problem arise. If you are unable to resolve a problem after referring to this section, contact your site operator or administrator.

General printing problems

If this happens: Try this:

You cannot connect to a Fiery XJ.

You cannot select or view one of the queues.

You cannot connect to the Fiery XJ from a Windows computer with the Command WorkStation or Fiery utilities.

Printing seems to take too long.

Special paper or transparency options are dimmed.

• Make sure that the Fiery XJ is not being calibrated.

If the Fiery XJ is being calibrated, you can select it in the Chooser, but you cannot connect to it. This insures that only one person is calibrating the server at any time and that print jobs do not use unexpected calibration.

• Have your system administrator enable the queue in Setup.

• Make sure the connection is conﬁgured correctly.

For instructions, see Getting Started.

• Print to a queue instead of to the Direct connection.

When you print to a queue, the job is stored on the Fiery XJ until it can be processed and printed; when you print to the Direct connection, the job cannot be sent to the Fiery XJ until the previous job is ﬁnished processing, so you must wait longer to use your computer.

• Select a Paper Source that supports the media type you are using.

For information on requirements and constraints pertaining to special papers and transparencies, see Appendix A, “Print Options.”

C-3 Troubleshooting

If this happens: Try this:

Fiery XJ doesn’t respond to a Print command.

Message requests a paper size that you don’t have.

• Has someone disconnected the copier by selecting Suspend Printing from the Functions menu?

If the administrator or operator has selected Suspend Printing on the Fiery XJ Control Panel or Command WorkStation to interrupt printing (so that someone can make a color copy, for example), your print job will not resume until someone selects

Printing from the Functions menu on the Control Panel or clicks the function key on

the Command WorkStation.

• Did you select the Fiery XJ as the current printer?

Before printing, you must select the Fiery XJ as the current printer from your Windows computer, Mac OS computer, or UNIX workstation.

• Make sure that the copier is switched on.

Someone may have turned the copier off, or the Automatic Power-Off or Power Saver mode function may have engaged. Even with the copier off, the F iery XJ appears in the Chooser as long as the Fiery XJ itself is turned on.

• If you are printing over an IPX (Novell) network, verify through the PCONSOLE utility that the job was sent to the Novell queue and that the queue is being used by the Fiery XJ.

• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.

Check with the operator, or use Fiery WebSpooler to check the job’s status. In Fiery WebSpooler, a job containing a PostScript error appears in red.

• Cancel the job and do one of the following:

If you are printing a P ostScript ﬁle, ask the administrator to set the Convert P aper S izes setting in Printer Setup to convert between US and metric paper sizes.

If you are printing a ﬁle from an application, change the page size in the Page Setup dialog box.

to convert the job to a paper size you do have. You can do this

Resume

C-4 Troubleshooting

If this happens: Try this:

Jobs sent to the parallel port do not print.

You cannot print with QuarkXPress 3.32 using the PSPrinter 8.5.1 driver on a Mac OS computer.

• Ask the administrator to increase the parallel “P ort Timeout in Seconds” on the Fiery XJ Control Panel.

• Ask the administrator to change the Ignore EOF Character setting on the Fiery XJ Control Panel.

If you will be printing ASCII format PostScript only, set Ignore EOF Character to No; if you will be printing Binary format PostScript, set it to

• If you print using the DOS copy command, make sure to use the /b option when printing binary ﬁles.

• Restart your Windows computer, enter BIOS setup, and if you have a BIOS setting for the parallel port, make sure that it is set to Compatible mode and not to Bi-Directional, ECP, EPP, or any other mode.

• If you are using Windows 95, open the Sy stem Properties contr ol panel, click the Device Manager tab, click Ports, double-click the parallel port you are using, and make sure that the driver selected is the standard Printer Port driver instead of the ECP Port, EPP Port, or any other driver.

For information about changing this setting, see Getting Started and your Windows 95 documentation.

• If the PostScript Printer Driver that you are using lets you select bi-directional communication, make sure that it is disabled.

This is generally set from the Properties dialog box for the printer.

• Remove the ﬁle called Balloon Help from your QuarkXPress application folder and relaunch QuarkXPress.

Yes.

C-5 Troubleshooting

Problems with print quality

For information about printing with speciﬁc applications and about optimizing color output, see the Color Guide.

If this happens: Try this:

Print settings for your job output do not match the settings you gave.

You get poor printing results.

Separations do not combine properly.

The registration or colors of an image are not what you expected.

• Make sure that you did not override the setting for the job in another place.

For information about options and overrides, see Appendix A, “Print Options.”

• Does your application require one of Fiery XJ’s printer description ﬁles?

If you’re printing from an application such as Adobe Separator or PageMaker, MacroMedia FreeHand, or QuarkXPress, make sure that the Fiery XJ printer description ﬁle is installed correctly. For information about installing these ﬁles, see Getting Started.

• Make sure the system has been calibrated.

For instructions, see the Job Management Guide.

• Try printing with Compression set to Off.

In general, Compression increases processing speed without affecting print quality, so you should leave it on unless it affects the print quality of speciﬁc ﬁles.

• Make sure that the ﬁle was initially created as separations.

• If you are printing separations or a DCS format ﬁle, set the Combine Separations print option to On.

With Combine Separations On, all four colors will be printed on a single page; with Combine Separations Off, four black-and white pages will print to simulate four singlecolor plates.

• Ask the operator to print a test page or make a test copy with the copier.

The problem may be with the copier. If your test page or copy show that the copier is working properly , corr ect the problem within your application software. I f the test page or copy are wrong, your copier may need to be calibrated or adjusted in some other way.

C-6 Troubleshooting

If this happens: Try this:

Your printed ﬁle appears too dark.

Color output is incorrect.

Color ﬁle prints in black and white.

Desktop Color Separations (DCS) format images print incorrectly.

QuickDraw ﬁll patterns print as solids.

• Adjust the Brightness option.

You can use the Brightness option when printing from an application or from Fiery Downloader to lighten your image whenever you print a PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) ﬁle.

• Check with the operator or administrator about the current calibration information.

The copier may need to be recalibrated because it has been too long since it was calibrated or because it is using a different target.

• In the Color Matching dialog box, make sure that Color/Grayscale or ColorSync Color Matching or PostScript Color Matching is selected (not Black and White).

• Make sure that the Color Mode print option is set to CMYK and not Grayscale.

• Make sure that you selected the correct options to send separ ations in the application’ s Print dialog box.

• Make sure that you have the ﬁle for every layer of separation that you are printing.

• Set the Combine Separations option to On.

This combines the high-resolution ﬁles for an image and prints them. With Combine Separations Off, the low-resolution master ﬁle will print.

• Use the Adobe PostScript Printer driver (or the Apple LaserWriter 8.3 or later printer driver).

Problems with Fiery Downloader

If this happens: Try this:

General problems

• Make sure that you are using the latest version.

If you are updating your Fiery XJ to new system software, delete the previous version of Fiery Downloader from your Windows or Mac OS computer and install the latest version to insure full compatibility.

• Make sure the connection is conﬁgured correctly.

For instructions, see Getting Started.

C-7 Troubleshooting

If this happens: Try this:

You can’t print an EPS ﬁle using Fiery Downloader.

You have problems downloading a font with Fiery Downloader.

Extra blank page prints after a Fiery Downloader job.

• Try printing using the ‘showpage’ after EPS ﬁles (Windows) or ‘showpage’ (Mac OS) option in the Download PostScript File dialog box.

This option adds a showpage PostScript language command at the end of the print job . Certain applications omit this necessary PostScript language command when they generate EPS ﬁles. You’ll need to select the Append Showpage option when printing EPS ﬁles generated by these applications.

If you continue having difﬁculties printing an EPS ﬁle with Fiery Downloader, try printing the ﬁle from the application in which it was created.

• Make sure the EPS ﬁle was saved without a preview image header.

Preview image headers are useful when images are placed in documents with page layout applications, but they cause problems when images are downloaded directly.

• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.

Check with the operator, or use the Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler, or Fiery Spooler to check the job ’s status. Jobs with a PostScript error appear with an Error icon.

• Check with the administrator to make sure that the Direct connection is enabled.

The Direct connection must be used to download fonts.

• Turn off the ‘showpage’ after EPS ﬁles (Windows) or ‘showpage’ (Mac OS) option.

This option adds a special PostScript command that will cause an extra blank page to print if it is not needed.

Problems with Fiery WebTools

If this happens: Try this:

General problems

• Clear the cache (Netscape Communicator) or history (Microsoft Internet Explorer).
