Introduction

This manual describes how to set up, install, and configure the Splash G3535 Color Server™ for Apple Mac OS and Microsoft Windows computers. The Splash G3535 Color Server is a high-end Color Publishing Print Solution for use on Power Mac OS G4 platforms. Splash client software enables Mac OS or Windows computers to send print jobs across an appropriate network to the Splash G3535 Color Server, which processes the jobs and sends them to the printer. If you are unfamiliar with your platform’s procedures for printing or integrating printers within the network environment (Windows NT/2000/XP, AppleTalk, Unix, Novell, and Microsoft TCP/ IP), see the manufacturer’s documentation.

xvi Product features

Product features

The new and commonly used product features of the Splash G3535 are described in the following list.
Color Tuner
—allows you to make color changes to any document (a single page or the entire document) at the server without having to reopen and edit the original file in the original application. You can make color changes (RGB or CMYK) globally by adjusting either the overall intensity of a specific color or the highlights, midtones, or shadows. Direct color substitution mode changes the selected color to a new color for a single page of a document or the entire document. Smoothed color substitution changes all occurrences of a single color to another color, allowing you to adjust the dominant color in an image. The Splash G3535 enhancements include selecting Spot Colors for substitutions, limiting the selected area for color effects, and editing individual colors after global changes have been applied.
Screened Dmax
—allows you to obtain dot accurate and color accurate calibrated output for print jobs that use the Screened job option. In addition, it displays 100% fills as solids rather than screened areas. This provides an enhanced proofing capability for screened devices to produce the best screened color output.
Print Info
—allows you to print a customizable info strip for your jobs. The Print
Info Strip includes information regarding the user, job, color, and media type.
Set Builder
—allows you to select individual jobs and print them as a single set. You
can select from the following options: Copies, Collate, Duplex, Staple, and Rotate.
TIFF-IT P1 and 8.8, PDF-X, CT-LW, and PSD native file formats
—allow direct handling
of many pre-press jobs sent to the Drop Folders.
ColorCal
—allows you to select from a standard set of RGB and CMYK Color Profiles or create custom CMYK profiles to calibrate the printer to produce the most accurate CMYK and RGB color output possible. ColorCal also offers two unique calibration features: AutoGray and Splash Proof calibration. AutoGray adjusts the gray balance of the printer. Splash Proof uses a special set of selected print settings to output a specific proofing style.
Secure Access—enables the server administrator to limit who is allowed to print to the server. It requires you to enter a user ID, password, and account number or any combination of these fields, prior to sending a job to the server.
xvii Product features
Secure Printing—allows you to password-protect a job from the printer driver, so it can only be printed at the server print queues when the password is entered. Only you, as the owner of the job, can reprint the job from these print queues.
Duplex Alignment—allows the server administrator to enter vertical and horizontal offsets which are applied to all duplex jobs. These offsets align the print margins for both sides of the duplexed job. Duplex Alignment also supports separate offset values for each tray.
Splash Imposition—creates imposed documents from the print driver, PPD, or Job Option window at the server.
Spot Color Editor—allows you to add and delete spot colors, as well as change the value output, for any particular spot color.
Hot Folders/Hot Download Folders—allows you to create multiple Drop folders and Hot Folders. You can then download graphics files directly from a Mac OS or Windows computer to the Splash G3535 using specified job print options. The folders are standard Mac OS folders which are shared over the network. Windows and UNIX client systems are supported via SMB file sharing.
Composite Spotproof—allows you to simulate PANTONE (including the newer 147 colors in both composite and separations), Toyo, DIC, and HKS spot color matching systems. You can also print spot tints (less than 100% of a specific spot color) accurately, since they are calculated from the actual spot color and are not a CMYK processed color.
Show Composite CMYK Overprints—allows you to view overprints included in PDF files or composite files from various publishing applications, improving speed and workflow.
Splash Intellicolor—allows you to print jobs that contain mixed RGB format (TIFF, EPS) and mixed color space (CMYK, RGB, spot) elements without any complex and time-consuming adjustments.
Continual Print—automatically processes and prints most files at printer speed. However, complex jobs with large bitmaps on each page may not print at printer speed.
Active Queue—is a management tool that allows you greater flexibility for scheduling jobs.
xviii Product features
CopyCal—allows you to create color profiles that enable the printer to simulate the color output of any other color printer.

File Handling

The Splash G3535 provides several options for handling the PostScript spool file and image files created during printing. These options are available on a user computer, as well.
Process and Hold sends the spool file directly to the Hold queue after the Splash
server processes it.
Process and Print and Save Image File saves the spool and image files after printing
the job. The job is transferred to the Hold queue with the message: PostScript spool file saved as requested.
Process and Print and Delete Image File automatically deletes the image file after
printing the job. The spool file is saved.
4-3 Color Options

Process and Print and Delete Job automatically deletes the image and spool files after
printing the job.
Preflight and Hold processes and screens the job for errors and then sends the job to
the Hold queue.
Send and Hold sends the job file directly to the Hold queue, without processing.
Saving the image file saves time when the same file must be reprinted, but does not have to be reRIPped.

Color Options

The Splash G3535 color options allow four-pass color printing or grayscale printing with contone or halftone screening and Splash color correction.
4-4 Print Options
4

Color Model

Select Grayscale (1 pass) or Color (4 pass), for Color Model. Grayscale images produce similar results with either model; however, the Grayscale model images print faster than in Color mode.

Printer Model

This option switches printer output between Contone (full color) output and Screened output. When Screened is selected, the Splash server applies halftone screening to the color image. Screened jobs process faster than Contone jobs, but the output quality is often lower.
The Screened method is configured at the Splash server. The default screening method is stochastic.

RGB Monitor Color Correction

RGB Monitor Color Correction simulates colors on a monitor. It can accurately color match mixed RGB file formats independent of the application, platform, or print driver.
For applications and drivers that color-correct through the PostScript CRD, the Splash G3535 provides five CRDs: Graphic, Photographic, Presentation, Spot, and Paper Simulation (selectable from the client printer driver). The server also supports the accurate color correction of documents that contain both RGB and CMYK objects.
If RGB Monitor Color Correction is disabled at the printer driver and the application invokes a CRD for printing, the server applies the default CRD (Photographic).
4-5 Color Options

RGB Monitor Color Correction controls
Select the RGB Monitor Color Correction check box to Enable RGB Monitor Color Correction.
The following options become available:
Standard—Gamma (default), Dark 2.2, White Point, More Blue 9300
Profile—Apple RGB (default), Adobe RGB, RGB 9300, RGB D50,
RGB D65, sRGB.
Press Simulation
Enable RGB Monitor Color Correction
To apply RGB Monitor Color Correction to a print job, enable RGB Monitor Color Correction, and then select the appropriate RGB options.
NOTE: The default RGB Monitor Color Correction setting is Enabled, using the
Standard Gamma and White Point settings.
Gamma
The Gamma and White Point adjust Splash color correction to simulate the monitor used to view and work with the document. Use Dark (2.2) for Gamma, and More Blue for White Point to satisfy most configuration requirements.
Gamma describes how a device reproduces tonal gradations. This setting applies to the input and output device. This option lightens or darkens the RGB content of a particular document to provide a more accurate match with the monitor.
The Gamma options are as follows:
• Lightest (1.0)
• Light (1.4)
•Normal (1.8)
•Dark (2.2)–default
•Darkest (2.6)
4-6 Print Options
4
White Point
The White Point simulates various lighting conditions for proofing color documents. Use to adjust the RGB content in a particular document relative to the White Point of the monitor. If flesh tones or red tones are too magenta, skies and other blues too cyan, and grass and greens too dark (almost bluish), change the White Point setting from Normal to More Blue. If flesh tones and reds are too yellow, blues too purple, and greens too yellow, change the White Point setting from Normal to More Yellow.
The White Point options are as follows:
•More Yellow (D50 Proofing)
•Normal (D65)
•More Blue (9300)–default
RGB Profiles
You can set RGB Monitor Color Correction using RGB profiles. sRGB is the standard profile installed at the server, and unless other profiles are installed, this is the only profile you can select. You can select the profiles listed below at the Splash G3535 server or a client computer. If other RGB profiles are imported beyond the six listed below, you can only select them at the Splash G3535 server.
The RGB Profiles are as follows:
•Apple RGB (default)
•Adobe RGB
•RGB 9300
•RGB D50
•RGB D65
•sRGB.
NOTE: If a CopyCal profile is selected as the CMYK Press Profile, the RGB color
matching associated with the CopyCal profile is used instead of the RGB color matching selections.
4-7 Color Options
4
Press Simulation
Press Simulation constrains input RGB colors to the gamut of the selected CMYK press profile to provide better matching of RGB input to press output. This option works with either 1D or 4D CMYK press profiles. If CMYK color correction is not enabled, this option has no effect.

CMYK Press Color Correction

To apply CMYK press color correction to a print job, select the CMYK Press Color Correction check box, and then select the appropriate CMYK Press Profile from the following menu options:
SWOP simulates SWOP inks.
Euroscale simulates Euroscale press inks.
Enhanced prints vivid colors on your output. (This profile is not intended for
printing press proofs.)
NOTE: Win98/Me PM users only—To apply CMYK Press color correction to a print
job, select Enabled in the CMYK Press Color Correction menu, and then select the appropriate CMYK Press Profile
Custom1 through Custom10 are customizable CMYK Press Profile options set at the Splash G3535. For information about the current settings, contact your server administrator or see “Profile Loader” on page 5-19.
CMYK Press Profiles
The Splash G3535 provides three standard CMYK press ink color correction profiles (SWOP, Euroscale and Enhanced) and ten custom CMYK profiles. The CMYK color correction profiles simulate commercial press inks in your output when you print CMYK documents to the Splash G3535. The profiles work with CMYK Press Color Correction to automatically compensate for differences in press ink colors.
To apply color correction to a job, enable CMYK Press Color Correction and select a color profile as described in the previous section.
4-8 Print Options
4
Preserve Original GCR
Preserve Original GCR causes CMYK press color correction to be applied so the original GCR settings of the CMYK data are preserved. This option only affects color matching with new style 4D profiles. Old style profiles are automatically GCR preserving.

Composite Spot Color Correction

The Splash G3535 can simulate PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC spot colors and tints in documents.
To enable this feature, select Composite Spot Color Correction in the Color tab of the printer driver options. The Splash G3535 produces output that simulates the spot color on a printing press.

Rendering Style

To choose a Rendering Style option, select the Rendering Style menu in the Color tab of the printer driver options.
Choose a Rendering Style that describes how the document was created:
Graphic—For documents that were primarily created with a computer graphics
application. This option optimizes print jobs with highly saturated color and provides a good screen to print match.
Photographic—Matches the colors of scanned photographic images. Use this option
for proofing photographic material.
Presentation—For documents that were created entirely with a computer graphics
application. This option creates bright, close to pure versions of the primary colors, but provides a less accurate match to the screen and is less accurate for photographic images than Graphics.
Paper Simulation—Matches the RGB input to press output, to accommodate
off-white Whitepoint settings or paper.
Spot—For documents containing spot colors, or to lighten the RGB color output.
NOTE: The default Rendering Style is Photographic.
4-9 Color Options

Extras Options

The following Splash G3535 options, when enabled, improve the printing of images, text, and line drawings.
Dynamic Image Enhancement enhances low resolution images to create a smoother
appearance.
Alternate Black (unmixed) substitutes a pure (CMY=0, K=100) black for any
(RGB=0) black in the document. This prevents ink buildup on the page and alleviates shadows created by misregistered mixed black.
Dynamic Edge Smoothing smooths fine lines.
Black Overprints prevents the “halo” effect which occurs when black is printed on
top of another color. Selecting this option tells the server to print with 100% black overprint with no knockout of underlying colors.
4-10 Print Options
4
Show Composite CMYK Overprints prints composite documents which specify
overprints for CMYK, with proper color correction applied. RGB and Spot colors are converted to CMYK values. To see trapping as well as overprinting, you must print the document as separations from the application.
Auto Trapping automatically traps text and graphics independently of their
application.
Splash Proof provides a single step for selecting a combination of print options to
output to specific proofing style options. The default print options that automatically override the Print Driver and Splash Server Preference options are: 200 Round Dot copier screening, Tray 5, Heavyweight paper and Continuous Tone Printing.
Auto Grayscale Detection allows for faster printing of jobs that do not contain
color images.
Mirror Image flips page about vertical axis.

Prepress Features

The following section describes the options available in the Prepress Features box of the Extras tab.
Separations
Using Separations, page layout applications, such as PageMaker and QuarkXPress, can print pages with a single color isolated from the whole image. These pages are then copied on film image setters so each page is converted to one or more (usually four) output grayscale pages. Separations printed on a printer that does not have a special Separation feature will produce one grayscale page per color on the original page.
The Splash G3535 can re-composite these individual pages back into multi-color pages to produce a proof equivalent to the proof produced from the films by conventional means. The primary benefit of separation is to show overprinted objects with proper colors and to make trapping visible.
4-11 Color Options
4
The Separations print option prints a composite page from applications that support separation printing.
Automatic applies separation to all of your separation print jobs. This default option
supports CMYK plates plus any number of plates in PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC if these press colors are supported by your separation application. This option supports separation generated by any application. With this option selected, the Splash server supports the full range of PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC colors and tints.
NOTE: Due to limitations in PageMaker and Quark XPress, RGB graphics are
converted to CMYK and, therefore, look similar. RGB images are converted to grayscale and appear as gray in the output.
Automatic Single Page processes any separation job as a single page job. All color
plates will be combined together, including spot color. This allows printing spot color separations from Macromedia Freehand, Deneba Canvas, and Adobe Illustrator.
NOTE: If a multi-page separation job is sent with this option selected, the pages will
overlay resulting in bad output.
Disabled disables Separations and prints plates as grayscale pages.
NOTE: The remaining Separations options: QuarkXPress 3.0 Style, QuarkXPress 4.0
Style, PageMaker Style, FreeHand Style, and Canvas Style use a separation technique from an earlier version of the Splash server software. These options require that the separation job be made up of exactly four process-color plates. These options do not support additional spot color plates. If problems occur in the output when printing separations with Automatic selected, convert the colors in the document to four process plates, then select the separation option that matches your application.
4-12 Print Options
4
Print Progressives
With Print Progressives selected, the Splash G3535 prints up to four separate sheets for a print job. You can configure this print option to specify which color passes print on each sheet. This allows you to examine the result of each color pass for a four-color document.
NOTE: For best results when creating press proofs using Print Progressives, select one of
the one-dimensional CMYK Press Color Correction profiles for the print job. For information about the current CMYK profile settings, contact your server administrator. For more information about CMYK Color Correction profiles, see “CMYK Press Color Correction” on page 4-7.
Invert Image
Select Invert Image to invert the CMYK data. When using RGB colors, the Invert Image option inverts the selected color to its opposite. For many of the colors, this will result in the color black.
Print Control Strip
Select Print Control Strip to print a set of color control patches on the edge of the output. You can configure this print option to print either color patches or an EPS file or both.
NOTE: The Control Strip image may overwrite the job image if it occupies the same
part of the page in the output.
Print Info Strip
Print Info Strip provides the ability to print a customizable info strip on jobs. The default information on the info strip includes user, job, color and media type. The customizable options become available by selecting Customize Print Info from the Server menu.
NOTE: The Print Info Strip image may overwrite the job image if it occupies the same
part of the page in the output.
4-13 Color Options
4
Save As TIFF
Save as TIFF saves a rasterized image file or an up to 600 dpi TIFF file. The TIFF file is placed in the TIFF folder within the Splash folder on the server computer. The TIFF folder is configured for network access. This setup allows you, at your computer, to retrieve TIFF files from the server and delete TIFF files from the folder once they have been copied to the your system.
To activate this feature, choose a resolution of 72, 300, or 600 in the DPI menu at the client. In Job Edit at the server, you can enter a resolution value between 3 and 600 dpi.
NOTE: Save As TIFF can be enabled or disabled in the Server Job Edit window and in
the Web Queue Manager. For more information about the Web Queue Manager, see Chapter 6.
The Splash G3535 copies files to the server’s hard disk before printing. For TIFF and EPS files, the server creates a reference to the file for printing. This allows printing a large TIFF or EPS file from an external drive without first copying the file to the Splash G3535 hard disk.
Auto Grayscale Detection
Select Auto Grayscale Detection to check each page for color before printing. If no color is detected on the page, the printer prints in single-pass grayscale mode, which speeds printing for multi-page documents that contain few color pages.
NOTE: If you are printing jobs that have color on every page, deselect this option.
When active, Auto Gray Detection adds approximately one-half second to the printing of each color page.
This option is active when the Color Model is set to Color. The log file indicates the number of pages within a job that were printed in grayscale mode.
NOTE: For fastest printing of an entirely black and white document, set the Color
Model to Grayscale for the print job.
Mirror Image
Mirror Image inverts the scanned artwork target to match the final transferred piece. Use Mirror Image for heat transfer paper used for adhering color output to non-standard media, such as rice paper, rag paper, or T-shirts.

Tray Options

The Tray Settings allow you to select various Job Handling options including Imposition, Staple, and Duplex.

Duplex

The Duplex printing options are as follows:
• No Duplex
Duplex Short Edge Binding—prints double-sided sheets that are bound on the short
edge of the document. The second side of the sheet is rotated for correct orientation.
Duplex Long Edge Binding—prints double-sided sheets that are bound on a long
edge of the document.
4-15 Tray Options
4
Automatic duplex printing
Use the Duplex options to set up automatic duplex printing from Trays 1–4. This specifies that the job print double-sided output. The Duplex Alignment offsets are applied to the second side of each page.
Manual duplex printing
Use the Duplex options to set up manual duplex printing from Tray 5 for manual-fed jobs. This specifies that the job prints as two-sided output.
The following page sizes cannot automatically duplex, so they must be set up for manual duplex printing from Tray 5:
• SRA3
•12x18
•12x19
•Custom
The following paper types cannot automatically duplex, so they must be also set up for manual duplex printing:
•Gloss 1A
•Gloss 1C
• Coated 1 Gloss
•Heavyweight 2A
•Heavyweight 2S
• Coated 2
•Transparency
To avoid manual duplex printing to allow faster printing when you print longer jobs, use the following procedure.
4-16 Print Options

TO PRINT USING MANUAL DUPLEX
1. Send the print job to the Splash G3535 with the “Print and Hold” spool option selected.
2. From the Job Editor, specify to print only the odd-numbered pages.
3. Place the printed odd-numbered pages in Tray 5 in preparation for printing the even-numbered pages. Verify that the orientation is appropriate for your printer.
4. From the Job editor, specify to print only the even numbered pages.
The Duplex Alignment offsets on the Splash G3535 are applied to the even-numbered pages.

Staple

If the optional finisher is connected to the printer, you can select one of the Staple options to staple the final output at the finisher. As with other collated multi-set (multi-copy) jobs, multi-set stapled jobs offset each set from the other. If the server Cover Page option is enabled, the cover page prints face down offset from the first printed set.
The Staple options are as follows:
• None
• One corner, portrait
• One corner, landscape
• Dual portrait
• Dual landscape
With a stapling option selected, jobs must RIP all pages before starting to print. Also, stapled jobs are automatically collated.
4-17 Tray Options
4
Related job settings for proper output
For proper staple position, jobs of various orientations and page sizes must use the matching staple position and rotation settings. The Splash G3535 does not auto-detect the paper orientation and page orientation settings to determine the proper settings to use for staple position and rotation. For more information, see the following table.
Paper orientation Page orientation Staple position
LEF Portrait One Corner, Portrait
LEF Landscape One Corner, Landscape
SEF Portrait One Corner, Landscape
SEF Landscape One Corner, Portrait
LEF Portrait Dual, Portrait
LEF Landscape Dual, Landscape
SEF Portrait Dual, Portrait
SEF Landscape Dual, Landscape
Stapled output from Microsoft applications on Windows
When printing landscape documents from Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel from Windows 9x, Windows NT, or Windows 2000, you must select either the Microsoft Rotate print option or the Splash G3535 Rotate print option in order to receive output with the staples in the proper position. The Rotate option is not necessary when printing from Microsoft applications on a Mac OS computer.
Staple Error Handling
Jobs that exceed the 50-page stapling limit (100 sides duplex) print without stapling. The job fails after printing with a message stating that the job exceeded the number of pages that can be stapled. When the printer runs out of staples in the middle of a job, the server stops processing and a dialog box appears stating that the printer is out of staples. The Splash G3535 waits for staples to be added and a dialog box displays the amount of time allowed before the job transfers to the Error queue with an appropriate error message.
4-18 Print Options
4

Collate

Select the Collate check box to print copies of a complete job, one after another. Sending collated jobs displays the “Set” message in the server status window. Sending uncollated copies displays the “Copy” message in the server status window.
NOTE: Selecting the Collate option with the Printer Driver Cover Page option prints
multiple copies of the cover page. Use the Splash Cover Page Server Preferences to print a single cover page for a collated job.

Rotate Pages

The Rotate Pages option rotates all pages of a job by 180 degrees. Select this option when stapling landscape jobs that are rotated incorrectly by the creating application, such as PowerPoint and Quark XPress.

Imposition

Select Imposition to rearrange the printing page order of a job to output booklets. In some cases, this feature uses paper more efficiently for printing multiple copies of small documents.
Imposition Type—Saddle Stitch, Perfect Bound and Signature
Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound both print two pages of a document together on a single larger sheet, which can then be folded section by section to form booklets. The two options differ in the number of pages printed in each section. Using Saddle Stitch, the number of pages in a section is selectable and usually multiple output sheets are folded together. Perfect Bound prints four original document pages in a single section, which means that each output sheet is folded separately.
Select Perfect Bound to print jobs that will be folded, cut, and glued along the back spine into a cover or binding. Most large trade books and larger magazines use this technique. Select Saddle Stitch to print jobs that will be stapled or stitched with thread through the center or into the spine.
The Signature imposition type prints two pages of the job, in order, on a single-sided tabloid sheet. This is always 2-up. Pages 1 and 2 print on the first tabloid sheet and pages 3 and 4 print on a second tabloid page. If Duplex is selected, pages 3 and 4 print on the back side of the first sheet. Odd-numbered jobs print the last page with a blank opposite it.
4-19 Tray Options
4
Scale To Fit
Scale To fit option becomes available when an Imposition Type is selected (Saddle-Stitch, Perfect Bound, or Signature). This option allows you to scale the imageable output to fit on the selected page size. Scaling preserves the aspect ratio, so the output page may not be completely filled.
Paper Use Options—Step and Repeat and 2-Up
Select Step and Repeat or 2-UP Imposition to print multiple copies of a single page on the same output page. Step and Repeat prints as many copies of the page as will fit on the selected output page size. It supports duplexing but not collation. 2-Up Imposition prints two copies of the page on the selected output page size. It is compatible with duplexing and collation.
Output Paper Size
For proper results with Saddle Stitch, Perfect Bound, and Signature, the output paper size must be at least twice as large as the original page size defined for printing. For example, for a Letter page, select Tabloid, 12 x18, or SRA3. For A4, select A3, 12x18, or SRA3.
Crop Marks
For Step and Repeat, crop marks are always printed and the size of the crop marks is taken into account when determining how to fit the most possible copies onto the page.
When other options are selected, crop marks print only if there is room for them on the page. The imposed pages print centered on the output sheet. If there is additional room to place full or partial crop marks, the crop marks are added.
If you select Crop Marks, choose a page size that is more than twice as large as the original page size defined for printing. For a Letter or A4 page, select 12x 18 or SRA3.
4-20 Print Options
4
Determining the Original Page Size
For 2-Up or Signature imposition, the original page size used is always the one selected in Page Setup (or the equivalent) when printing. Turn off the application registration marks or crop marks.
For Step and Repeat, Saddle Stitch, Signature, and Perfect Bound imposition, if the application registration marks or crop marks are not enabled when printing, or if the application does not support registration marks or crop marks, the original page size is the one selected in Page Setup. If the application registration marks or crop marks are enabled, the original page size is the size of the document itself, which in many applications can be different from the page size selected in Page Setup.
Setting application registration marks
For Step and Repeat, Saddle Stitch, and Perfect Bound, enable registration marks or crop marks from the application, whenever possible. In general, the imposition software recognizes the input page size more precisely when the application generates the registration marks. For Step and Repeat, using the application registration marks or crop marks increases the number of copies printed on a single sheet.
NOTE: If job errors due to the output not fitting on the paper size selected, enable Crop
Marks in the Tray tab of the Splash G3535 driver options.
Using Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound with landscape documents
Landscape documents bind along the short edge of the document so two letter-sized pages cannot fit on a single output page. You can impose landscape documents using Saddle Stitch and Perfect Bound, but the height of the original must be less than half the height of the output page size, or the Scale To Fit option must be selected.
Section size
Section size defines the number of pages to print in a Saddle-Stitch layout. This feature is enabled only when Saddle-Stitch is selected. The Section Size menu includes the following options: All, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

Though you can configure the Splash G3535 to print up to 9999 copies, the output tray holds a maximum of 500 pages. If more than 500 copies are specified, empty the output tray during printing so the total number of copies in the tray never exceeds 500.

Paper tray selection
The user can configure both media type and copier tray for a print job. The following table shows the media type defaults by tray selection.
Tray selected Media type default
Automatic As set in the Splash Server Preferences Page
tab (default is Bond paper)
Tray 1, 2, 3, 4 Copier setting (programmed into the copier)
Tray 5 Copier setting (programmed into the copier)
The default paper type for Automatic Tray selection is specified in the Page tab of the Server Preferences. If the type of paper specified in the Page tab of Server Preferences is not installed in the copier in any tray when the Automatic tray is selected, jobs will fail. This prevents jobs being printed unintentionally and wastefully on expensive media. You must ensure that the type of paper installed in the copier is the default specified in the Server Preferences.
When Tray 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and the Tray Default media type are selected, jobs process and print using the copier settings. The paper size selected for the job must match the paper size installed in that tray in the copier.
When the Automatic tray and any media type other than the Tray Default are selected, the correct paper size of the correct paper type must be installed in the copier.
When Tray 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and any media type other than Tray Default are selected, jobs override the copier settings with the selected paper type, if the paper size matches the contents of the tray.
NOTE: For Automatic tray selection to work properly, it is important that the paper
types be correctly set in the copier.

Secure Printing

You can use Secure Printing to password-protect your jobs. This security feature can only be implemented from the Mac OS or Windows printer driver, and can only be printed at the Splash G3535 when a password is entered.
In order for the job to be password-protected, you must provide a password for the job at the time it is printed. If a job sent to the Splash G3535 is password-protected, the job will not be RIPped until you enter a password at the server.
NOTE: The following procedure uses Mac OS X illustrations.

Secure Printing Notes
The Secure Printing password field can contain a maximum of eight printable characters.
If a Secure Printing spool file is saved and sent to the Hold queue, the password is not saved and must be re-entered when you resend the job to the Active queue.
A Secure Printing job cannot be previewed or be part of a document set.
If an incorrect password is entered at the Splash G3535, the job is sent to the Error queue when you try to print it.

Secure Access

Secure Access enables a system administrator to limit who can print to the Splash G3535 by defining combinations of user names, passwords, and account numbers which must be entered and verified before jobs print. Secure Access can also be used without verification to improve job logging by requiring user names and account numbers to be entered in order to print.
4-30 Print Options
4
Secure Access accounts are established and managed at the Splash G3535. You are prompted for the required information at your computer. Validation of the information, if required, is performed by the Splash G3535 and if the information is not correct, you are prompted to correct the information before you can print the job.
Using Secure Access
When Secure Access is configured at the Splash G3535, you must install the Secure Access printer driver on your Mac OS or Windows computer. For information, see Chapters 2 (Mac OS) or 3 (Windows).
Printing
Printing using the Secure Access driver is exactly the same as printing with the standard driver, except that the driver prompts you for the Secure Access information. When the first job is sent to a particular printer, the Secure Access driver prompts you for the IP address of the Splash G3535. For this information, contact your system administrator.
4-31 Tray Options
4
With each additional job sent to the printer, the Secure Access driver prompts for the required information (User ID, Password, Account Number) as set up at the Splash G3535. If the information entered is incorrect, the driver prompts you to re-enter the correct information, specifying the first incorrect entry, along with the error message set up at the server. This continues until you enter the correct information or click Cancel. Once correct information is entered, the job prints as with the standard driver.
The user name, password, and account number fields are blanked out at the client between each print.
For more information on Secure Access, see “Secure Access” on page 5-63.
