xi About this manual
Preface
The Fiery ZX-40 Color Server enables you to use your color copier as a networked
printer. You can use the Fiery ZX to print final documents or to proof jobs you will
later print on an offset press. You send a print job to the Fiery ZX as you would to any
other printer—you select it from the Windows Printers dialog box or Mac OS
Chooser, and then print from within any application.
Your Fiery ZX-40 Color Server system includes Command WorkStation™ software
that enables an operator to manage all jobs sent to the Fiery ZX. Some of the job
management features of the Command WorkStation are also available from the
Fiery WebSpooler. 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. For information on the features of the Command
WorkStation and the Fiery WebSpooler, see the

How the Fiery ZX works
The Fiery ZX 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 ZX 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 ZX by means of a Adobe® PostScript® printer driver and
a PostScript printer description file (PPD).
xiii Before you begin
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
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 ZX includes information about the features of both the copier and the
Fiery ZX-40 Color Server.
For information on the PPD options for your Fiery ZX, see Appendix A, "Print
Options."
Supported paper sizes and resolutions
You can print all page sizes supported by the DocuColor 40 in Contone mode at
400 dpi in Full Color or Grayscale. Note that you can print on thick paper and
transparencies only from the bypass tray. See the Xerox
Materials Usage Guide
for
complete information about the page sizes supported.
Before you begin
Before using the Fiery ZX, 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

If your site has an operator who controls all printing, you may have access to the Hold
queue only. In this case, all jobs you send are spooled to the Fiery ZX 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 ZX 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 ZX 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).

Chapter 3:
Printing
from UNIX
Workstations
You can print to the Fiery ZX directly from UNIX. Jobs printed to the Fiery ZX are
sent to the Print queue or Hold queue and can be manipulated from the Command
WorkStation or from Windows and Mac OS computers on the network using the
Fiery WebSpooler.
NOTE: If you print to the Hold queue, an operator must intervene from the Command
W orkStation or the Fiery WebSpooler for the job to print; jobs sent to the H old queue
are spooled to disk and held.
The queue name and Fiery ZX printer name are established 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 ZX
Y ou can use UNIX commands to print PostScript files and text files to the Fiery ZX. In
general, the basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) can be used to send print jobs to a
Fiery ZX. See your UNIX manual pages or other documentation for information
about UNIX commands.
NOTE: Only PostScript or text file formats can be printed from UNIX.
TOPRINTFROM 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 ZX as follows:
lpr <-Pprinter> <-#copies> <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery ZX 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
3
•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 ZX as follows:
lp -d <printername> {-n <-#copies>} <filename>
For example, if the Print queue of your Fiery ZX is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:
lp -d print_Server -n 2 Sample
TODISPLAYALISTOFJOBSINTHEQUEUE:
•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 ZX is named print_Server, type:
lpq -Pprint_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
•On a system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation o f 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 ZX is named print_Server, type:
lpstat -o print_Server
Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.
3-3 Printing to the Fiery ZX

TOREMOVEJOBSFROMTHEQUEUE:
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 P rint queue of your F iery ZX 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

Chapter 4:
Special Features
TOPRINTVARIABLEDATADOCUMENTS:
This chapter describes some of the special features supported by the Fiery ZX
including printing:
• Variable data documents using Fiery ZX FreeForm
• Simulations
• Booklets using the Fiery Booklet Maker XTension for QuarkXPress
• Duplex pages
For general instructions on how to specify print option settings, see Chapters 1 and 2.
™
Printing variable data documents
FreeF orm allows y ou to create and print variable data documents using any application
you wish. FreeForm functions are set with two options when you print to the
Fiery ZX: Create Master and Use Master. The master and variable elements of the
document can be created using different applications, or even different computer
platforms.
NOTE: FreeForm requires the ability to specify print option settings on a job-by-job
basis and is therefore not supported with UNIX printing.
1. Create a master document that contains the non-variable elements of the document.
Page layout applications support master pages that can be edited separately from body
pages. If you wish, you can use the application’s master pages for the master document
elements, but it is not necessary.
The master document can comprise multiple pages.
2. Print the master document to the Fiery ZX with the Create Master print option set to
one of the FreeForm Master bin numbers (1 through 15).
4-2 Special Features
4
3. Create the variable elements document.
4. Print the variable data document to the Fiery ZX with the Use Master print option set
Although the Fiery ZX can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printer driver
interface allows you to select bins 1 through 15 only. Using the Command
WorkStation or the F iery WebSpooler, the operator can override FreeForm Master bin
numbers and reassign them to bin numbers greater than 15.
You can create the variable elements document using a different file, a different
application, or a different computer platform than was used to create the master
document, but the page sizes must be the same for both documents.
to the bin number you chose when you sent the master document (in step 2).
FreeForm Master bin numbers can be overridden from the Command WorkStation or
the Fiery WebSpooler. Check with the operator to make sure that the bin number you
specify is the correct one for the FreeForm Master you want to use.
If you want to check the job before it prints, instruct the operator to RIP and then
hold the job so that you can preview the rasterized data from the Command
WorkStation or the Fiery WebSpooler.
Printing simulations
You can use the Fiery ZX to proof offset press jobs or to simulate the output of other
print devices by specifying settings for two print options: CMYK Simulation and
CMYK Simulation Method. These print options affect CMYK data only.
The Fiery ZX provides CMYK Simulation targets for the major international press
standards: SWOP, DIC, and Euroscale. You can also create custom simulation targets
using the Fiery Print Calibrator (see the Job Management Guide).
• When printing simulations on the Fiery ZX, choose the CMYK Simulation setting
corresponding to the press standard for which the CMYK data was prepared, or
choose a custom simulation target.
• To simulate the color of a copy made from the copier glass, choose the Match Copy
setting. This setting bypasses Fiery ZX calibration.
Use the CMYK Simulation Method print option to specify the quality of simulation
desired: Quick or Full. For more information, see the Color Guide.
4-3 Printing booklets
4
Printing booklets
To generate a booklet or brochure, document pages must be grouped and arranged on
printed sheets so that, when folded and stapled at the spine, the booklet pages appear
in the correct order. This process of arranging document pages on printed sheets in
preparation for printing is called “imposition.” The Fiery Booklet Maker XTension for
QuarkXPress performs imposition automatically, based on settings you specify.
The Fiery Booklet Maker XTension allows you to define multiple printed sheet
layouts. In addition:
• It compensates for creep automatically based on paper thickness, binding type, and
number of pages per printed sheet.
• Bleed is determined by the current QuarkXPress setting.
• You can specify various press marks, and easily change the gaps between rows and
columns of pages on a printed sheet.
• Y ou can switch page orientation and pr eview thumbnails of the printed sheet layouts
prior to printing.
• With Mac OS computers, you can also save booklet style settings and load them for
use with other documents.
NOTE: The Windows and Mac OS versions of the Fiery Booklet Maker XTension are
fundamentally the same; differences are noted in this chapter. Where a window or
dialog box is illustrated, the Windows 95 version comes first, followed by the Mac OS
version.
Make sure that the Fiery Booklet Maker XTension software is installed in the
QuarkXPress XTension folder and that the correct Fiery ZX PPD file is installed in the
QuarkXPress PDF folder.

Signatures are the basic unit of publication production. A signature is defined as one or
more sheets of printed pages folded as a single unit prior to binding and trimming.
Folded signatures are then stacked (for perfect binding), or inserted between the others
(for saddle stitching). The number of signatures created depends on the number of
pages in the document—as many signatures as necessary are created to accommodate
all the pages.
There is no provision for partial signatures. If there are not enough pages in the
document to fill the created signature(s), blank pages are inserted.
8. To change the Gap size, select the value and change it.
The gap size is the amount of blank space between rows and between columns of pages

Downloading and managing printer fonts
Before downloading a file that uses fonts not resident on the Fiery ZX, you must
download the fonts (unless the fonts are embedded in the file). To see what fonts are
resident on the Fiery ZX, use the Font List command (see page 5-9).
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 ZX are not
automatically installed on your Windows system.
NOTE: You cannot use the 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.
5-8 Downloading Files and Fonts

Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts
Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Fiery ZX come in two forms:
printer fonts and screen fonts. The printer fonts are installed permanently on the
Fiery ZX hard disk. The screen fonts, which are included with the Fiery ZX user
software, should be installed on your Mac OS computer. If you are using thee fonts in
documents you print on another printer, they are probably already installed. If not,
you will need to install them yourself. For instructions, see Getting Started.
Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS)
fonts that are not included with the Fiery ZX. 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 ZX
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 ZX, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your System
Folder. These fonts remain in the Fiery ZX 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 ZX, you can save time by downloading them to the
Fiery ZX hard disk with the Fiery Downloader. Fonts you download to the Fiery ZX
hard disk remain installed until they are removed no matter how many times the
Fiery ZX is turned off and on. You’ll probably want to download fonts you use on a
regular basis to the Fiery ZX hard disk.
Before you download PostScript or EPS files with the Fiery Downloader, make sure
that all fonts included in your file are installed in the Fiery ZX 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 ZX. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored on the
Fiery ZX are used exclusively for substitution with PDF files.

Chapter 6:
Tracking and
Managing
Print Jobs
Fiery ZX 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 the Fiery W ebSpooler both provide the capability to
view and control the flow of print jobs to the Fiery ZX. 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 ZX, you can use the Status WebTool to monitor the status of print jobs as they
are rasterized and printed.
Fiery WebTools
Fiery WebTools reside on the Fiery ZX but can be accessed over the network from a
variety of platforms. The Fiery ZX 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 and WebLink WebTools.
TOACCESSTHE 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 ZX.
Check with the operator or administrator for this information.
3. If a Log In dialog box appears, select Guest and click OK.
The Log In dialog box appears only if the administrator has set Administrator or
Operator privileges. Guest access is sufficient to use the Status and WebLink W ebTools
as described in this chapter.

Appendix A:
Print Options
Print options give you access to the special features of the DocuColor 40 and the
Fiery ZX. Print options can be specified in several places—in Fiery ZX Setup, from the
printing application, from the Fiery Downloader , fr om the Command WorkStation, or
from the Fiery WebSpooler. The table in this appendix briefly describes each print
option, gives its default setting, and provides information on any constraints or
requirements in effect.
Where to set print options
• Some settings are specified during Setup by the administrator. For information on
the current default settings, check with the operator or the administrator.
• From applications
With the Adobe PostScript printer drivers (included in your user software) and the
Windows NT 4.0 printer driver, you can specify and override job settings when you
print a job. See Chapter 1, “Printing from Windows Computers” and Chapter 2,
“Printing from Mac OS Computers” for information about specifying job settings
from applications.
NOTE: The job settings you specify can be overridden by the operator from the
Command WorkStation or the Fiery WebSpooler.
• From the Fiery Downloader
Only a few settings—Page Range (for PDF files only), Copies, and Brightness—can
be specified when printing jobs with the Fiery Downloader . To change options in the
Fiery Downloader, select the job in the Files to be Downloaded (Windows) or Files
to Download (Mac OS) list and click Options. For more information, see
Chapter 5, “Downloading Files and Fonts”.
• Overrides from the Command WorkStation and Fiery WebSpooler
To change job settings from the Command WorkStation, double-click a job to

More information 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.
Combine Separations
The Combine Separations option specifies whether to combine color separations
created in desktop publishing applications 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.
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.
NOTE: This option is supported only for Adobe PageMaker and QuarkXPress.
Page Range
The operator can specify a page range override, but this range applies only to the pages
included in the active job. For example, if a user specifies Odd for Page Range in the
original job, even if the operator specifies a Page Range override of All, only the odd
pages of the original document are printed (“all” the odd pages).
Paper Source
If you choose the Auto Select setting, the copier prints from any tray containing the
paper size needed for the job. This setting also allows the copier to automatically
switch between trays, if the current tray becomes empty, while continuing to print.
A-8 Print Options
A
Rendering Style
Use this option to select a default color rendering dictionary (CRD) to be used when
you print RGB images, objects, and text.
Photographic—Optimizes the range of colors on the Fiery ZX to produce the best
results for photographic or bitmapped images.
Presentation—Optimizes the output of pure, saturated colors such as those used in
business presentations. It treats continuous tone images in the same way as the
Photographic CRD does.
Solid Color—Most useful for printing spot colors such as those found in company
logos or corporate charts and graphics. Provides the best color accuracy for images
using PANT ONE colors. This setting is recommended when the (Other) White Point
option is set to anything other than Printer’s Default.
For information on color rendering and color management, see the Color Guide.
RGB Source
This option is used to specify a source color space for RGB data.
EFIRGB—Optimal source space for printing to the Fiery ZX-40 Color Server. This
setting provides consistent output across platforms.
sRGB (PC)—Specifies the source space of a generic Windows computer monitor.
Apple Standard—Specifies the source space of a Mac OS computer monitor.
Other—Allows you to specify a custom RGB source setting using the (Other) Gamma,
(Other) Phosphors, and (Other) White Point print options.
For information on source color space and color management, see the Color Guide.
Scale
The operator can specify a scaling override, but the override is applied to the scaling
value already set in the active job. F or 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%.

• Have your system administrator enable the queue in Setup.
• Print to a queue instead of to the Direct connection.
When you print to a queue, the job is stored on the Fiery ZX until it can be processed
and printed; when you print to the Direct connection, the job cannot be sent to the
Fiery ZX 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.
• Cancel the job and do one of the following:

If this happens:Try this:
Fiery ZX doesn ’t respond to a
Print command.
• 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 ZX 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 P anel or from the Server menu at the
Command W orkStation.
• Did you select the Fiery ZX as the current printer?
Before printing, you must select the Fiery ZX as the current printer from your Mac OS,
Windows, 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 ZX appears in the
Chooser as long as the Fiery ZX 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 ZX.
• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.
Check with the operator, or use Fiery WebSpooler or the Command WorkStation to
check the job’s status. A job containing a PostScript error appears in red in the
Fiery WebSpooler and Command WorkStation displays.

• Does your application require one of Fiery ZX 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 ZX printer
description file is installed correctly. For information about installing these files, see
Getting Started.
• Use a different Copier Mode option.
For Fiery ZX-40 Color Server systems, the default Copier Mode setting is Text
Enhancement. Try changing the setting to Photo and see if the results improve.
• Make sure the system has been calibrated.
• 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 grayscale pages will print to simulate four single-color
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.
Your printed file appears too
dark.
Color output is incorrect.
Color file prints in black and
white.
• Adjust the Brightness option.
Y ou can use the B rightness option when printing from an application or fr om the F iery
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 Print Options 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 selected for the job is CMYK and not Grayscale.
C-5 Troubleshooting
C
If this happens:Try this:
Desktop Color Separations
(DCS) format images print
incorrectly.
QuickDraw fill patterns print
as solids.
• 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
You cannot connect to the
Fiery ZX from the Fiery
Downloader.
• Make sure that you are using the latest version.
If you are updating your Fiery ZX to new system software, delete the previous versions
of the Fiery Downloader utility from your Mac OS or Windows computer and install
the latest versions to insure full compatibility.
• Make sure that the Fiery ZX is not being calibrated.
If the Fiery ZX is being calibrated, 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.
You can’t print an EPS file
using the Fiery Downloader.
• Try printing using the “Showpage” option in the Download PostScript File dialog box.
The Showpage (after EPS files) 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 the Fiery Downloader, try
printing the file from the application in which it was created.
• Make sure that the job does not contain a PostScript error.
Check with the operator, or use Fiery WebSpooler or the Command WorkStation to
check the job’s status. A job containing a PostScript error appears in red in the
Fiery WebSpooler and Command WorkStation displays.
C-6 Troubleshooting

If this happens:Try this:
You have problems
downloading a font with
Fiery Downloader.
Extra blank page prints after a
Fiery Downloader job.
• Check with the administrator to make sure that the Direct connection is enabled.
The Direct connection must be used to download fonts. (Files can be downloaded via
the Print or Hold queue.)
• Turn off the “Showpage (after EPS file)” option.
This option adds a special PostScript command that will cause an extra blank page to
print if it is not needed.
