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

This manual uses the term “Fiery ZX” to refer to the Fiery ZX-40 Color Server.

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

Getting Started

4. Consult the affect color output.

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

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).

3-1 Printing to the Fiery ZX

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.

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 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

• 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

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 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

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 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

print_Server, type: cancel print_Server 123

123 from the Print queue of your F iery ZX named

4-1 Printing variable data documents

Chapter 4: Special Features

TO PRINT VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS:

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

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

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.

Choose 2 Up for standard printer’s spreads, choose 2 Down for a calendar spread, choose 3 Across for tri-fold brochures, or choose 4 Up to print four pages per side of a sheet of paper.

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 on a sheet. It is used to provide space for the binding. It can be set between 0 to 12 inches.

The options available to you in this menu depend on the setup at your site. The potential selections are the Print queue, Hold queue, or Direct connection. If your administrator has not enabled one or more of these connections, you cannot select it.

PDF ﬁles cannot be printed with the Direct connection. If you choose the Direct connection, the job is spooled to the Print queue and then printed. If the Print queue is not enabled, the job is spooled to the Hold queue and must be released for printing by the operator.

To download fonts, you must use 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.

‘showpage’ after EPS ﬁles (Windows) or ‘showpage’ (Mac OS) (EPS ﬁles only)—In

most cases, you do not need to use this option. Select the ‘showpage’ option only if an EPS ﬁle fails to print without it. This option adds a ‘showpage’ PostScript language command at the end of the print job. Some applications omit this necessary PostScript language command when they generate EPS ﬁles. Select this option when printing EPS ﬁles generated by these applications. If you select this option unnecessarily, extra blank pages may print.

If you experience problems printing EPS ﬁles with the Fiery Downloader, you can print the ﬁle directly from the application in which you created it.

Page Range (PDF ﬁles only)—Specify the page range you want to print.

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.

6-1 Fiery WebTools

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.

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 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.

6-2 Tracking and Managing Print Jobs

4. When the Fiery ZX home page appears, click to select one of the Fiery WebTools.

Move the cursor over the buttons to display information about the selections.

Checking Fiery ZX status with the Status WebTool

You can use the Status WebTool to see what jobs are currently processing and printing. To access the Status W ebTool, point your browser to the F iery ZX home page and click Status. The current RIP Status and Printer Status appear in the window.

To open a new browser window for the Status display, click Float. You can then close other browser windows and leave the Status window open to continue checking the status of the Fiery ZX. As long as you keep the Status window open, it is dynamically updated.

To obtain more information about the status of jobs, use the Fiery WebSpooler or the Command WorkStation. For information about them, see the Job Management G uide.

Accessing information with the WebLink WebTool

The WebLink button on the Fiery ZX home page provides a link to another web page or to multiple web pages, provided you have a valid Internet connection. The administrator at your site can set the WebLink destination. Check your Fiery ZX WebLink for any information available there.

A-1 Print Options

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”.

A-7 Print Options

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

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%.

C-1 Troubleshooting

Appendix C: Troubleshooting

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 select or view one of the queues.

Printing ties up your computer for too long.

Special paper or transparency options are dimmed.

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

• 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 you are printing a P ostScript ﬁle, ask the administrator to set the Convert P aper S izes setting in PS Setup 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 to

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

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

C-2 Troubleshooting

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.

Resume

C-3 Troubleshooting

If this happens: Try this:

Jobs sent to the parallel port do not print.

• Review the procedures provided in Getting Started on how to prepare the Fiery ZX and your Windows 95 computer for parallel port printing.

Also see your Windows 95 documentation.

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

• Ask the administrator to change the Ignore EOF Character setting on the Fiery ZX 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.

• If the PostScript printer driver that you are using lets you select bidirectional communication, make sure that it is disabled.

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

Problems with print quality

If this happens: Try this:

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

• 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."

Yes.

C-4 Troubleshooting

If this happens: Try this:

You get poor printing results.

Separations do not combine properly.

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

• 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

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.

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.
