Windows for EX Print Server

The EX Print Server can be set up as a printer on a Windows computer by installing the printer driver that
corresponds to your printer and setting up the EX Print Server for printing.
Printer drivers provide a way to communicate information about print jobs between your applications, the EX Print
Server, and the printer.

Installing Windows printer drivers

Installing the printer driver is the first step to set up the EX Print Server as a printer.
The User Account Control (UAC) feature is available on computers with the Windows operating systems supported
by the EX Print Server. You must be the administrator or a user with Administrator privileges to install printer
drivers. For information about supported operating systems, see Configuration and Setup.

Note: If the EX Print Server printer driver is already installed, you must uninstall it before you install a new driver.
(See Uninstall printer drivers from Windows client computers on page 18.)

Installing printer drivers with Point and Print

SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing) allows you to install PostScript printer drivers on your
computer from the EX Print Server with Point and Print.
You can then print to a particular connection (Print queue, Hold queue, Direct connection or the name of the virtual
printer).
If the Sequential Print queue is enabled on the EX Print Server, then the sequential print connection is available.
Sequential Print allows the EX Print Server to maintain the job order on certain jobs sent from the network. The
workflow is 'First In, First Out' (FIFO), respecting the order in which the jobs were received over the network. For
more information, see Command WorkStation Help.
Each connection requires a separate installation. Repeat the procedure for each connection.
When you install the printer driver using Point and Print, you cannot configure installable options manually. The
installed options are displayed as the EX Print Server configuration in the printer driver. (See Configure installable
options on Windows client computers on page 25.)
Before you begin, ask your administrator to do the following in Setup on the EX Print Server:

• Assign the EX Print Server a valid IP address.

The IP address or DNS name is required in the following procedure.
• Configure the EX Print Server for SMB printing.
Note: SMB printing is referred to as Windows Printing in Setup and on the Configuration page.

Print files to the EX Print Server with the FTP protocol

You can use the FTP protocol to print files to the EX Print Server.
1 Connect to the EX Print Server with your FTP client application.
Folders corresponding to the Print queue, Hold queue, and any published virtual printers are displayed.

2 Navigate to the folder representing the print connection or published virtual printer.

3 Upload your job to the appropriate folder.

After the job is printed, it is deleted from the EX Print Server.

Sample Print

The Sample Print feature allows you to print extra pages to an easily accessible output tray during a long print job, to
verify that the printer is performing as expected.
For example, when a job is currently printing to a closed elevator (such as 1000 pages to an output tray that cannot
be opened until the entire job is completed), you can use the sample print function to print a separate page or
finished output set to an open output tray to verify the output. If the output is unsatisfactory, you can take corrective
action.
Use Sample Print only with printers that have multiple output trays; it is useful when one of the output trays is
closed and not easily accessed during printing.
You can print an extra sheet or output set as follows:

• On-demand during the printing of a job

• Every N-sheets during the currently printing job
• Every N-sheets until canceled (can span jobs)
You can set up the Sample Print default settings for the specified EX Print Server using Configure (Server >
Configure). (See Command WorkStation Help.)

Start or stop a sample print

When the job is printing, you can initiate a sample print. The default setup values are applied and any existing
sample print command in progress is overridden.
1 To initiate a sample print, select Server > Start Sample Print while a job is printing.
The EX Print Server performs the sample print based on the options specified in Configure.
If Start Sample Print appears dimmed or unavailable, then the EX Print Server is already performing a sample
print or it is not available for the specified EX Print Server.

2 To cancel a sample print, select Server > Stop Sample Print.

Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE)

The Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) is an additional interpreter that allows native PDF processing and rendering
without requiring the EX Print Server to convert the job from PDF to PostScript.
No special printer driver is required for printing APPE jobs, but the administrator must turn on related settings in
Setup. If APPE is not turned on, PDF files are processed with the PostScript interpreter of the EX Print Server. All
PostScript files continue to be processed with the PostScript interpreter.
The APPE option is not available from the printer driver, but is included in Job Properties in Command
WorkStation. After the administrator turns on APPE as the default in Configure, you can turn on or turn off the
APPE option in Job Properties on a per-job basis.
To turn on the APPE workflow in the EX Print Server, see Configuration and Setup.

Print Options

Print Options
Print Options describes the EX Print Server printer driver, available print options, and where to set print options to
print your jobs successfully.

About the EX Print Server printer driver

Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the EX Print Server by means of a printer driver and a
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file. A PPD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a
particular printer (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported) and the EX Print Server.
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 set, and then
translates all information into Adobe PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer
driver writes a PostScript file based on your original file and the options you set from the Print dialog box.
The EX Print Server receives files from computers on the network, processes the files, and then sends them to the
printer.
For information about the specific print options for the EX Print Server, see Print options and default settings on
page 74.

Set print options for the job

Print options give you access to the special features of your printer and the EX Print Server.
You can specify print options in these areas:

• Setup
Some settings are specified during the initial EX Print Server configuration by the administrator. For information
about the current default server settings, contact the administrator or operator.
• Applications
With the printer drivers provided, you can specify job settings when you print a job.
• Color Setup
You can set the default CMYK/Grayscale Source, CMYK/Grayscale Processing Method, RGB Source, Separate
RGB/Lab to CMYK Source, Output Profile, RGB/Lab Rendering Intent, Spot Color Matching, Gray (CMYK),
Gray (RGB), Black Text and Graphics, and Black Overprint settings. (See Color Printing.)
 Printing 74
Print Options

• Hot Folders
You can assign a group of print options to a Hot Folder. When you specify print options for a Hot Folder, the
print options are assigned to all jobs sent through that Hot Folder. These print options override any default
options.
For information, see Hot Folders Help.
• Overrides in Command WorkStation Job Properties
To change job settings from Command WorkStation, double-click a job to display the Properties dialog box.
For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.

Print option override hierarchy

Print option settings that were specified in the printer driver can be overridden in Command WorkStation Job
Properties.
The override hierarchy is as follows:

• Settings from the user’s printer driver override the EX Print Server Setup settings.
• Settings assigned to Hot Folders override the user’s printer driver settings.
• Settings made from the job management tools (Command WorkStation Job Properties) override the user’s
printer driver settings.

Print options and default settings

You can use the printer driver interface to configure a particular print option to print a job. If you choose not to
configure the print option, the EX Print Server prints the job with the default setting.
For options that the administrator configures, choosing Printer’s default results in the EX Print Server printing the
job with the factory default.
For options that cannot be configured in Setup, the EX Print Server prints the job with a preconfigured Printer’s
default setting. When you select the printer driver for North America, the default Document size is Letter or for
International, the default Document size is A4.
To determine the current Setup defaults, print the Configuration page from Command WorkStation. (See
Configuration and Setup.)

Note: A job uses the EX Print Server default settings (unless otherwise specified) at the time it is processed for
printing, not at the time it is sent to the EX Print Server Hold queue.
The print options are organized according to the printer driver icons (tabs).

Job Info options

WorkStation Job Properties.
Basic Settings are as follows:

• CMYK/Grayscale Source specifies the simulation profile for the print job.
• RGB Source specifies a source color space definition for printing RGB images, graphics, and text.
• Spot Color activates the PANTONE Lookup Table. The EX Print Server uses a built-in table to generate the
closest CMYK matches of spot colors when the Spot color matching check box is selected.
 Printing 89
Print Options

• Gray and Black specifies the settings to use for the object types (Text/Graphics or Text/Graphics/Images) using
black only.
• Output Profile uses selected profile for color conversion for the printer.

2-color print mapping

The 2-color print mapping option can be used to replace spot colors and process colors to the generic colors.
Select the 2-color print mapping check box to replace spot colors and process colors with generic colors when you
create a print job.
This option is available as part of Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition. (See Fiery Graphic Arts Package,
Premium Edition.)

Auto trapping

Trapping is a technique to print some objects slightly larger or smaller than specified in an application, in order to
prevent white edges around the objects.
These white edges, or “halos,” can be caused by factors such as misregistration, the physical properties of the inks,
and the stiffness of the media. The Auto trapping feature provides you with advanced trapping settings and gives you
full control over their values.
Select this option if the job should automatically reduce white gaps for text and graphics.
Turning on this option may result in graphics or text surrounded with borders.
This option is available as part of Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition. For more information, see Fiery
Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition.

Black point compensation

The Black point compensation option lets you control the output quality of shadow areas for CMYK source colors.
Use Black point compensation to enhance details in shadows when the CMYK source space is larger than the gamut
of the printer. In proofing applications, when the CMYK source space is smaller than the gamut of the printer, do
not use this option.

Note: For RGB source colors, black point compensation is always applied.
Black point compensation works by scaling the source colors so that the darkest point in the source profile maps to
the darkest point in the output profile.
For more information, see Color Printing.
 Printing 90
Print Options

Combine separations

You can print the color separations in the job as a single page or as four individual pages.
When printing separations from supported desktop publishing applications, do one of the following:

• Select the Combine separations check box to combine separations on a single page.
• Clear the check box to view separations as individual black-and-white pages, each representing one color plate.
For more information, see Color Printing.

Composite overprint

Design applications are typically set to knock out objects.

To overprint, you must first change the settings in the source application. When the Composite overprint option is
turned on, the overprinting attribute specified in the source application takes place, provided the output is in
composite mode (not printed in separations) and/or is printed with CMYK or Grayscale color mode. (See Color
Printing).
Select this option to overprint objects that are specified in the source PostScript or PDF file.

ImageViewer Curves

The ImageViewer Curves print option lets you apply color curve edits from ImageViewer that have been saved on the
server as a preset.
ImageViewer in Command WorkStation can be used to edit the CMYK curves of a job on the EX Print Server. These
curve edits can be saved as a preset and applied to other jobs. Use the ImageViewer Curves option to select a preset
for your job.
Factory-supplied curve edits apply some typical color corrections:

• Lighter highlights
• Midtone boost
• No correction
• Shadow detail
• Reduce C (cyan) cast
• Reduce M (magenta) cast
• Reduce Y (yellow) cast
After the job is processed, the edits become part of the job and are no longer visible as edits when you view the job in
ImageViewer.
For more information, see Color Printing.

transparent RGB or Lab colors (such as a drop shadow) in a PDF job.
Turn on to achieve correct color output for areas of overlapping transparent RGB or Lab colors (such as a drop
shadow) in a PDF job.
If you turn on Optimize RGB Transparency, the EX Print Server uses the correct RGB source profile and rendering
intent when converting the overlapping RGB colors to CMYK during the PDF-to-PostScript conversion. If you turn
off Optimize RGB Transparency, the area of overlapping colors might print with incorrect color or undesirable
artifacts.
When Adobe PDF Print Engine Preferred is turned on, this option is to recognize blending color spaces in the job,
which can improve output for some blend modes when RGB blending color spaces are used.
This option is only accessible from Command WorkStation Job Properties, Hot Folders, and Virtual Printers. (See
Color Printing).

Xerox GCR

The Xerox GCR print option provides an alternative color management option that replaces CMY black with the
equivalent K-only black, a process known as Gray Component Replacement (GCR).
Xerox GCR is not recommended for color-critical applications such as proofing. If you observe color output that you
do not expect, turn off Xerox GCR. You can set the default setting for Xerox GCR in Color Setup in Command
WorkStation.
The GCR of the output profile is overridden by Xerox GCR, so any edits that you make to the output profile may not
have the effect that you expect.
For more information, see Color Printing.

About Booklet Maker imposition

Imposition is the process of printing multiple pages on single sheets of paper.
When imposed sheets are folded together as signatures, the pages follow in sequential, or reading, order. Booklet
Maker is designed for 2-up imposition, which imposes four individual pages from your document on a single sheet
that is printed duplex.
The order in which pages are imposed is determined by the binding method that you select.

Booklet Maker and Impose

Booklet Maker settings are supported by Impose, if turned on.
You can open a job with Booklet Maker settings in Impose to preview the imposition layout or further modify the
imposition layout, if necessary.
Impose translates and maps all Booklet Maker settings to Impose commands.

Note: When a job with Booklet Maker settings has been edited in the Impose window, the job can no longer be
edited in Booklet Maker. Impose offers more settings that cannot be mapped to Booklet Maker settings.
For more information about Impose, see Utilities.

• Content input: Select from Front & Back Separately or Pre-Printed.

• Front & Back Separately: Select this option to specify an inline cover that prints the cover pages and body pages as
a single job. Separate pages from your document are imposed on a single sheet that forms the cover pages of your
booklet.
You can specify an inline cover when your original document includes the cover pages and/or cover artwork for
your booklet. The cover content may be the first and last pages of your document, or the first two and last two
pages of your document, or any combination.
If you select this option, you can specify the Front cover and Back cover options.
• Pre-Printed: Select this option to insert a pre-printed cover that will be merged with the body pages of your
booklet, which print separately.

Defining and printing custom page sizes

With custom page sizes, you define the dimensions of a printed page. After you define a custom page size, you can
use it from within an application without redefining it each time you print.
When you create custom page sizes, specify width dimensions to correspond with the shorter side of your job and
specify height dimensions to correspond with the longer side of your job. Set custom page sizes in this way,
regardless of the orientation settings in the application.

1 Portrait orientation
2 Landscape orientation
3 Height
4 Width

Note: Custom page sizes are not supported with Imposition jobs.
For information about defining and printing custom page sizes, see printer driver help.

Document size and Paper size

Document size is the page size defined in your application’s Print setup (or Page setup) dialog box.
Paper size is the size of the actual sheet of paper on which your job is printed. It may be useful to think of Document
size as digital input (the page size defined in your original document) and Paper size as the physical output (the
actual size of the paper in the printer tray).
In cases when you print one document page per sheet of paper, Document size is usually the same as the Paper size.
However, Document size may differ from Paper size when you print booklets or impose multiple document pages on
a single sheet.
 Printing 113
Print Options

The illustrations show examples of possible relationships between Document size and Paper size. Note that the
orientation of all pages shown is landscape.

Description Document size (input) Paper size (output)

Document size is the same as Paper size. Scaling is 100%. Letter Letter

Tabloid Document size scaled to fit on Letter Paper size. Scaling is 50%. Tabloid 11x17 Letter

A4 Document size scaled to fit on A3 Paper size. Scaling is 141%. A4 A3

Document size may also differ from Paper size when using the Scale or Scale to fit options. The Scale option reduces
or enlarges the document page at a specified percent. The Scale to fit option automatically reduces or enlarges the
document image to fit the selected paper size.
For information about Document size and Paper size in booklet printing, see Booklet Maker Help.
For more information, see Scale on page 82.
For more information, see Scale to fit on page 82.

Fold style options

Gang-up printing
Gangup layout options are used for speed printing imposition modes.
The EX Print Server includes two speed-printing options for gang-up printing:

• Step & repeat - Select this option to speed print a job so that the first page of your document is printed twice on
the first sheet. The next sheet duplicates the data on the second page, the next sheet duplicates the data on the
third page, and so on. When the printed sheets are cut in half, the result is two complete sets of the same
document.

1 1 1 1 2 2

1 Single-sided, front only

2 Duplex (double-sided), front (1, 3) and back (2, 4)

• Cut & stack - Select this option to speed print a job so that when the sheets are stacked and cut from the central
position, the job is numbered in order and separated as two stacks. The print order is such that when the sheets
are cut in half, you can combine them to form a single complete set of the document, in faster printing time.
