choose specific Feature Set categories. They override settings in EX7750 Printer Setup,
but can be changed from Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE or
Fiery Spooler.

If you choose Printer’s default, the job prints according to the settings specified
in Setup.

For more information about these options and overrides, see Appendix A.

Some print options, including Soft Collate, Soft Reverse Order, and Manual Duplex
that are selectable from an application or the PostScript printer driver, are similar to
the print options available from the Printer Features menu. In these cases, specify the
print option from the Printer Features menu. The application or the PostScript printer
driver may not set up the file properly for printing on the EX7750, which may cause
an unexpected printing error and longer processing time.

You can set some print options from an application (for example, Reverse Order
Printing or Collation). In these cases, use the print 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 EX7750, which may cause longer processing time.

NOTE: If you select an invalid setting or combination of settings when printing a

document, no error message appears. For example, you may be able to select duplex
printing on transparency media. Invalid settings and combinations will be ignored by
the EX7750.

Chapter 3:
Printing
from UNIX
Workstations

You can print to the EX7750 directly from UNIX workstations. Jobs printed to the
EX7750 are sent to the Print or Hold queues and can be manipulated from Command
WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE, or from Windows and Mac OS computers
on the network using Fiery Spooler.

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

WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler for the job to print; jobs
sent to the Hold queue are spooled to disk and held.

For more information about using Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation
LE or Fiery Spooler, see the Job Management Guide.

The queue name and EX7750 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 EX7750

You can use UNIX commands to print PostScript and text files to the EX7750. In
general, use basic print commands (lpr, lpq, lprm) to send print jobs to the EX7750.
For information about UNIX commands, see the UNIX manual pages or other
documentation.

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

3-2 Printing from UNIX Workstations

3

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 EX7750, as follows:

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

For example, if the Print queue of your EX7750 is named print_Server, your file is
named Sample, and you want to print two copies, type:

lpr -Pprint_Server -#2 Sample

• On a system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lp command to send a job to the EX7750, as follows:

lp -d <printername> -n <copies><filename>

For example, if the Print queue of your EX7750 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 EX7750 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 EX7750 is named print_Server, type:

lpstat -o print_Server

Your workstation displays the contents of the queue.

3-3 Printing to the EX7750

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 remove job number 123 from the Print queue of your EX7750 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 remove job number 123 from the Print queue of your EX7750 named

print_Server, type:

cancel print_Server 123

5-1 About variable data printing

Chapter 5: Printing Variable Data Documents

This chapter describes the variable data printing features supported by the EX7750,
including:

•Background information about variable data printing

•Printing variable data documents using FreeForm™ and FreeForm 2

About variable data printing

Variable data printing is typically used for direct-mail advertising or other targeted
mailings. It involves combining a set of master elements that are common across copies
of a document with a set of variable elements that change from copy to copy. An
example is a brochure that greets customers by name and may include other personal
information about the customer obtained from a marketing database. Background
elements, illustrations, and text blocks that do not change across copies of the brochure
comprise the master elements. The customer’s name and other customer-specific
information comprise the variable elements.

The FreeForm feature allows you to use print options to define and store
master-element documents—called FreeForm masters—on the EX7750. You can send
a variable-element job to the EX7750 with instructions to combine the job with a
particular FreeForm master.

NOTE: The FreeForm print options are not available in the PCL printer driver.

The FreeForm 2 feature allows you to assign specific page rules of a FreeForm master
to each page of a variable job. To use FreeForm 2, you must create and print the
variable job in a popular variable data printing application, such as PrintShop Mail.

You cannot use the following print options and settings when printing variable data:

• Combine Separations to On

•Optimize Power Point to On

For more information, see Appendix A.

5-2 Printing Variable Data Documents

5

Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

In FreeForm variable data printing, you can use print options to define master
documents and assign them to variable data jobs sent to the EX7750.

How FreeForm works

The basic premise of FreeForm variable data printing is that the master-element data
for the job can be sent to the EX7750 and rasterized separately from the
variable-element data. The master-element data is stored on the EX7750 in rasterized
form as a FreeForm master, and can be used as often as needed with multiple sets of
variable-element data. Because the FreeForm master job is preRIPped and stored on
the EX7750, the only RIP time required for variable data print jobs is the time needed
to RIP the variable-element data. You can use FreeForm masters for any fixed-element
data you might combine with different data from day to day. For example, a letterhead
template can be stored as a FreeForm master and used repeatedly as the background for
different letter content (the variable-element data).

FreeForm allows you to create the master and variable documents using any
application. You can create the two documents using different applications or
computer platforms. To create the master document, you can use a page layout or
graphics application. To create the variable document, you can use a word processing
application that has a mail merge feature, a page layout application that supports
scripting, or a database application.

FreeForm functions are controlled with two print options: Create Master and Use
Master. You can set these options in the printer driver when you send a job, or instruct
the operator to set them with job overrides from Command WorkStation/Command
WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler. You can also use Command WorkStation/
Command WorkStation LE to monitor and manage all the FreeForm masters stored
on the EX7750. For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

Space for variable elements

Unchanging master elements

5-3 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

Creating the master document

Before you can use FreeForm, you must create a master document and a variable
document. This includes creating the layout for the combined document, as well as the
elements themselves. In a page layout or graphics program, you arrange the master
elements (text and graphics that do not change) on one or more pages, leaving space
for the variable elements.

Master document

When you have finalized the design of the master document, print it to the EX7750
and specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see page 5-8).

NOTE: Although the EX7750 can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printer driver

interface and Fiery Spooler allow you to select numbers 1 through 15 only. To create a
FreeForm master with a number greater than 15, the operator must set the Create
Master and Use Master options and RIP the job from Command WorkStation/
Command WorkStation LE.

5-4 Printing Variable Data Documents

5

Creating the variable document

You can create the variable document with a word processing application that provides
a mail merge function, a database application, or a page layout application that
supports scripting. In all cases, information is taken from a list or database and merged
into an existing document that is set up to accept the information. Each application
has different controls for this function; for detailed instructions, see the application
documentation.

Before the variable elements can be added to the master document, they must be
formatted to conform to the layout of the master document. To do this, you create a
document with the correct formatting, and then add the variable information in the
appropriate places.

For efficient variable data printing, create a variable document that has significantly
more pages than its corresponding FreeForm master.

Variable element

Variable document

When you have created a variable document, print it to the EX7750 and specify that it
be combined with the corresponding FreeForm master (see page 5-9).

5-5 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

5

Combining the FreeForm master with the variable document

When you print a variable document to the EX7750, you specify the FreeForm master
created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The EX7750
combines the raster data of the variable document with the already RIPped FreeForm
master, creating a new raster data file. The merged raster file can be soft-proofed
(before it is printed) in the thumbnail windows of Command WorkStation/Command
WorkStation LE or Fiery Spooler.

For more information about soft-proofing and the thumbnail windows of Command
WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE, see the Job Management Guide.

Combined document

A master document can include more than one page. When you print a variable
document and specify a FreeForm master that contains multiple pages, the variable
pages are combined with the master pages in a cyclical fashion. The following example
illustrates how a variable document combines with a two-page master document.

5-6 Printing Variable Data Documents

5

Pages 1 and 2 of the variable document are combined with pages 1 and 2, respectively,
of the master document. The cycle of master pages then starts over, and pages 3 and 4
of the variable document are combined respectively with pages 1 and 2, again, of the
master document. This pattern continues for each subsequent set of pages in the
variable document.

5-7 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

5

Using FreeForm

This section provides some suggestions to help you print variable data jobs correctly.

• Consult your administrator or operator on how FreeForm master numbers are

assigned at your site.

If FreeForm printing is used by a large number of users at your site, FreeForm master
numbers, or ranges of numbers, can be assigned to specific users or groups. Users can
select only numbers 1 through 15 as print option settings. The operator can override
FreeForm master numbers and reassign them to numbers greater than 15 from
Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE. You may want the operator to
assign all FreeForm master numbers to avoid potential conflicts in the use of
FreeForm master numbers.

•Use the Job Notes and Instructions fields to communicate instructions about your

job to the operator.

If you want to create or use a FreeForm master number greater than 15, these fields
can be used to tell the operator to override the appropriate job setting (Create
Master or Use Master) and RIP the job from Command WorkStation/Command
WorkStation LE.

•Give your jobs unique and descriptive names.

Both you and the operator must be able to easily identify your jobs if there are many
jobs in the queues, the FreeForm master numbers are reassigned, or you want to
refer to another job in the Job Notes or Instructions fields.

•For restrictions on print option settings when using FreeForm, see Appendix A.

The following settings for the master document and variable document must match:

Color Mode
Combine Separations
Page Size

5-8 Printing Variable Data Documents

The following settings for the variable document might override the corresponding
settings in the master document:

Save Fast Reprint
Black Detection
Stapler Mode
Slip Sheet

NOTE: The Long Edge Binding print option of the Duplex setting has no effect when

printing using FreeForm.

one of the FreeForm Master numbers (1 through 15).

Or, set the Create Master option to None and instruct the operator to use overrides to
create a FreeForm master from this job.

You can create the variable document using a different file, a different application, or a
different computer platform than was used to create the master document, but some
print options must be the same (for details see page 5-7).

The following example shows one page of the variable document for the tri-fold
brochure. The data in this document can be as simple as a name and address, or as
complex as multiple, full-color graphics and photographic elements.

4. Print the variable document to the EX7750 with the Use Master print option set to the
appropriate FreeForm master number.

Printing variable data documents with FreeForm 2

Freeform 2 extends the functionality of variable data documents using a third-party
application that supports FreeForm 2, such as PrintShop Mail, which allows you to
create and print variable data documents.

To print a variable data job using FreeForm 2, first open the variable document in the
third-party application.The third-party application provides FreeForm 2 features that
allow you to assign a specific page of a FreeForm master to each page of the variable
document.

Freeform 2 enables you to specify page conditions that determine rules for individual
Master pages. These rules, described by if and then statements in each Master page,
allow you to skip or print pages within a Master file. For more information about
creating page conditions, see the documentation that came with the third-party
printing software.

For instructions on creating a variable data job or printing variable data jobs using
FreeForm 2 and the third-party variable data printing software, see the documentation
that came with the third-party printing software.

FreeForm 2 also provides the option to delete a specified FreeForm master from the
EX7750 hard disk after its corresponding variable job has been successfully RIPped
and printed. You can set this feature in a third-party application that supports the
clearing of FreeForm masters. For more information about deleting FreeForm masters,
see the documentation that accompanies the third-party printing software.

7-1 How Fiery E-mail Service works

7

Chapter 7: Using Fiery E-mail Service

The Fiery E-mail Service allows you to remotely print to and control the EX7750
using your current e-mail infrastructure. It allows you to print to remote locations
and bypass firewalls. With Fiery E-mail Service, you can submit jobs to the EX7750 as
e-mail attachments.

You can use Fiery E-mail Service in the following ways:

•Print using an E-mail Client

•Print using the EX7750 E-Mail Port Monitor

How Fiery E-mail Service works

In order to use the E-mail services, you must set up Fiery E-mail Service as described in
the Configuration Guide.

To print with an E-mail Client, you send a file as an e-mail attachment, and Fiery
E-mail Service extracts the file and sends it to the EX7750. The e-mail attachment
must be a PS or PDF file.

To print using the Fiery E-mail Port Monitor, you must print to a printer connected to
the Fiery E-mail Port Monitor. If you have the E-mail Port Monitor set up, your print
job is e-mailed to the EX7750 when you choose Print from an application. For more
information about setting up the E-mail Port Monitor, see the User Software

Installation Guide. The EX7750 also supports internal address books. Administrators

can retrieve, add, delete, and clear addresses from the address books by sending
requests via e-mail. For more information about address books, see the Configuration

Guide.

NOTE: Fiery E-mail Service will not process .vbs, .exe, or .bat extensions.

7-2 Using Fiery E-mail Service

7

Printing using an E-mail Client

You can submit print jobs to the EX7750 in the form of an e-mail attachment using
your e-mail application. When you send an e-mail with an attachment, Fiery E-mail
Service extracts the file and sends it to the EX7750 Print queue. The file format must
be one supported by the EX7750.

By default, anyone can print with an E-mail Client, unless the Print address book has
been set up by the Administrator. If your e-mail address is not in the Print address
book, you cannot send files to the EX7750 via e-mail. For more information about
address books, see the Configuration Guide.

NOTE: The Direct and Hold queues are not supported by the E-mail Client feature.

NOTE: The illustrations in the following procedure depict Microsoft Outlook E-mail.

TO PRINT USING AN E-MAIL CLIENT

1. Open your e-mail application.

2. Enter the EX7750 e-mail address in the To: line.

3. Enter text in the Subject line or leave the Subject line blank.

4. Attach the file you want to print in the body of the e-mail.

You can enter a additional text in the body of the message, if necessary. The text will
also be printed.

7-3 Printing using an E-mail Client

7

5. Click Send.

NOTE: If your attachment exceeds the file size limitation set by your e-mail system

administrator, the e-mail will not be sent.

The file is sent to the EX7750 and the job is printed. After the EX7750 receives the
job, you receive an e-mail notification that the print job was accepted. The e-mail
notification also provides a job identification (ID), which allows you to manage jobs
with Job Control (see the following section). The e-mail notification indicates any
current error at the printer.

Once the job has been printed, you receive a second e-mail notification that indicates
the job printed successfully.

To check the status of your job, use Job Control to see if the job printed successfully.

7-4 Using Fiery E-mail Service

7

Job Control

This feature allows you to manage print jobs by submitting commands to the EX7750
via e-mail. You can cancel a job, check job status, and inquire help on a job. Once you
send a command, the EX7750 returns an e-mail response.

TO MANAGE PRINT JOBS WITH JOB CONTROL

1. In your e-mail application, enter the EX7750 e-mail address in the To: line.

2. Enter one of the following Job Control commands in the Subject line.

To check the status of a job, enter #JobStatus<job id> in the Subject line.

You will receive an e-mail response to your job status query. You can only inquire about
the status of the job if you sent the job or are an administrator.

To cancel a job, enter #CancelJob<job id> in the Subject line.

You will receive an e-mail response indicating that the job has been cancelled and will
not print to the EX7750. You can only cancel the job if you sent the job or are an
administrator.

To inquire help, enter #Help in the Subject line.

You will be sent an e-mail response that contains the links that allow you to cancel
jobs, check job status, and search and manage address books. Click any of the links to
perform a Job Control command.

Printing using the E-mail Port Monitor

Once you set up the E-mail Port Monitor, you can print using Fiery E-mail Service in
the same manner as any other printing method. No additional steps are necessary.

NOTE: The E-mail Port Monitor is only supported on Windows.

NOTE: The Direct connection is not supported when printing with E-mail

Port Monitor.

A-1 Print Options

Appendix A: Print Options

Print options give you access to the special features of your printer and EX7750. Print
options can be specified in several places—in EX7750 Setup, or from the printing
application, Fiery Downloader, ColorWise Pro Tools, Command WorkStation/
Command WorkStation LE, or Fiery Spooler. The table in this appendix briefly
describes each print option and its default setting, and provides information on any
constraints or requirements in effect.

About printer drivers and printer description files

The EX7750 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) them, and
then sends them to the printer. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with
the EX7750 by means of a printer driver and printer description (PPD) files. Windows
computers can also communicate with the EX7750 by means of a Printer Control
Language (PCL) printer driver and PDD files (the PCL equivalent of PPD files). Both
drivers enable you to use special features of the EX7750 from the Print dialog box.

A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the
printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those
instructions with printer-specific options you specify, and translates all information
into PostScript or PCL, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer
driver writes a PostScript or PCL file based on your original file and the options you set
from the Print dialog box.

NOTE: A printer driver also allows you to select print options for your printer. To do

this, the printer driver must be matched with a PPD/PDD file for your EX7750. A
PPD/PDD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular
device (for example, what paper sizes and paper types are supported). The printer
driver reads the information in this file and presents that information to you in the
form of options you can choose from the Print dialog box.The PPD/PDD for the
EX7750 includes information about the features of both the printer and the EX7750.
For information about the specific print options for the EX7750, see the table on

page A-2.
