4 Choose the paper size loaded in the tray from the Media menu.

COMMAND WORKSTATION, WINDOWS EDITION 19NOTE: The alignment is specific to the combination of tray and paper size specified. If you align a given tray with Letter paper, and then load Legal paper into that tray, the alignment is wrong. You must perform a new alignment for each combination of tray and paper size.

5 In the Print Alignment Page area, select the Print duplex option to print a duplex page, or clear the option to print a simplex page.

6 Click Print.

7 After the Alignment Page is printed, follow the instructions on the page.

COMMAND WORKSTATION, WINDOWS EDITION 24TroubleshootingTo troubleshoot basic connection and software problems with Command WorkStation, see the following sections. For additional troubleshooting information, see Command WorkStation Help.

Command WorkStation cannot connect to the Fiery X3eTY

If you cannot connect to the Fiery X3eTY or locate the Fiery X3eTY from your computer, contact the network administrator. The administrator may need to troubleshoot your network connections and check settings on the servers that you print to. If settings have changed, you may need to reconfigure the Fiery X3eTY (see Configuration and Setup).

For example, if objects in your Novell network environment are removed or renamed, or accounts or permissions are changed, the Print Server administrator may need to edit settings or configure new settings in IPX (Novell) Setup to reflect the new configuration.

If you can connect to the Fiery X3eTY with another utility, you may need to reconfigure the Command WorkStation connection to the Fiery X3eTY (see page 14).

If you configured the Fiery X3eTY and set up client computers and network servers according to the instructions in Configuration and Setup, print a Test Page. If you can print a Test Page but still cannot print a document from a remote computer, contact the network administrator to troubleshoot your network connection.

If you cannot connect and cannot print a Test Page, check the Control Panel of the copier for error information.

2 Choose Help from the CWS menu.

COMMAND WORKSTATION, MACINTOSH EDITION 36TroubleshootingTo troubleshoot basic connection and software problems with Command WorkStation, see the following sections. For additional troubleshooting information, see Command WorkStation Help.

Command WorkStation cannot connect to the Fiery X3eTY

If you cannot connect to the Fiery X3eTY or locate the Fiery X3eTY from your computer, contact the network administrator. The administrator may need to troubleshoot your network connections and check settings on the servers that you print to. If settings have changed, you may need to reconfigure the Fiery X3eTY (see Configuration and Setup).

For example, if objects in your Novell network environment are removed or renamed, or accounts or permissions are changed, the Print Server administrator may need to edit settings or configure new settings in IPX (Novell) Setup to reflect the new configuration.

If you can connect to the Fiery X3eTY with another utility, you may need to reconfigure the Command WorkStation connection to the Fiery X3eTY (see page 32).

If you configured the Fiery X3eTY and set up client computers and network servers according to the instructions in Configuration and Setup, print a Test Page. If you can print a Test Page but still cannot print a document from a remote computer, contact the network administrator to troubleshoot your network connection.

If you cannot connect, and cannot print a Test Page, check the Control Panel of the copier for error information.

COMMAND WORKSTATION, MACINTOSH EDITION 37Command WorkStation does not respond

If Command WorkStation is unresponsive, use the following troubleshooting guidelines.

IF COMMAND WORKSTATION WINDOWS DO NOT UPDATE

1 Log off and then quit Command WorkStation.

2 Restart Command WorkStation or restart the computer.

If the Command WorkStation windows do not update or no jobs are displayed, and the mouse has no effect (you cannot select a job or a window, use a Control-click command, or select a menu item), the Print Server is offline or network communication has failed.

TO FORCE AN EXIT FROM COMMAND WORKSTATION

1 Press Command-Option-Escape and use the Force Quit Applications dialog box to close Command WorkStation.

2 At the Fiery X3eTY, disconnect and reconnect the network cable, and then try printing a Test Page or Configuration page.

3 If printing fails, restart the Fiery X3eTY.

Command WorkStation does not display user name

When you print a test page from the Windows NT 4.0 PostScript printer driver, the user name displays as unknown in Command WorkStation. If you want the correct user name displayed in Command WorkStation, do not print from the Windows NT 4.0 printer driver on a Windows NT 4.0 client, print from another supported Windows platform or from Mac OS.

FIERY SPOOLER 43The Fiery Spooler main window appears.

About the Fiery Spooler window

Similar to Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler allows you to view Fiery X3eTY and copier functions, and acts as an interface from which you can control those functions.

The Fiery Spooler window is divided into three areas by Spool, RIP, and Print status bars. When the Fiery X3eTY receives print jobs, the Fiery Spooler window becomes a dynamic display, listing the names of jobs and their characteristics.

The Spool, RIP, and Print areas of the Fiery Spooler window represent the stages of printing a job. Jobs come in at the top level (Spool) and drop down to the Print level, unless they are held along the way.

The job icons displayed in the Fiery Spooler window are explained on page 47.

The RAM status bar indicates the amount of memory in use. The Drive status bar indicates the amount of hard disk space in use.

NOTE: In the Fiery Spooler window, the background color for the yellow and white printer icons is the same.

Spooled jobs: Jobs listed in the area below the Spool status bar are PostScript files stored on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk. These jobs were sent to either the Print queue (white icons) or the Hold queue (yellow icons).

RIPped jobs: Jobs listed in the area below the RIP status bar are ready to print. They have been rasterized (RIPped, or processed for printing) and are waiting, in order, for access to the

printer. Rasterized jobs can also be held. Held jobs are indicated by a yellow icon.

FIERY SPOOLER 44Printed jobs: Jobs listed in the area below the Print status bar have already been printed. Printed jobs can be stored on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk. The number of jobs you can store (from 1 to 99) is defined in Setup.

If you are logged in as Administrator or Operator, you can interact with a job wherever it appears in the window by selecting it and choosing a command from the Job menu, or by double-clicking the job and setting override options. For more information, see Manipulating job options and job flow on page 44.

Errors: Jobs with an error are shown in red. To display the error, double-click the job. Note that you cannot check the job properties or hold a job with an error.

NOTE: If your job does not appear anywhere in the Fiery Spooler window, it may have already printed; if so, it appears in the Job Log. To view the Job Log, choose Show Job Log from the Window menu. For more information about the Job Log, see page 55.

If the job does not appear in the Job Log, it may have been moved to the Archive window by the operator. The Archive window cannot be viewed with Fiery Spooler. To check the archived jobs, contact the operator or go to the Command WorkStation screen.

Manipulating job options and job flow

Using the commands in the Job menu, you can alter the destinations, priorities, and characteristics of jobs that appear in the Fiery Spooler window.

To understand the effect each of these commands has on a job, you must understand the way the Fiery X3eTY handles PostScript and raster data, and how jobs are activated or held in the various stages of processing. Before manipulating jobs with Fiery Spooler, see Command WorkStation Help for this background information.

FIERY SPOOLER 45Choose this command from the Job menu

Changed if job is edited, unaffected if job is only viewed

Thumbnail B Open the selected raster data job (not necessarily a held job) in the Thumbnail B window for viewing or for merging into a job in the Thumbnail A window.

Unchanged

FIERY SPOOLER 46Overriding job option settings

To change the job options of a job, select the job and choose Override Print Settings from the Job menu. Click the tabs in the Override Print Settings dialog box to see all the job options.

NOTE: An icon to the left of an option name indicates that changing the options setting requires that the job be reRIPped. When you override these types of options, the job is automatically reRIPped for printing.

The options set here are the same ones you set from the Print dialog box when you print from an application. For information about specific print options, see Print Options.

FIERY SPOOLER 47Job iconsThree types of icons are used for both active jobs and jobs on hold.

Spool area

The job icons in the Spool area are as follows:

The Spool area is both the receiving area for jobs from users on the network (Hold queue) and the waiting area for jobs that will be RIPped.

Icon Active jobs(white icons and rows)

Jobs on hold(yellow icons and rows)

Printer icons

PostScript or raster data headed for printing (top) or after printing (bottom)

PostScript data headed for Print and Hold or job on Hold after printing (Hold)

Raster icon

PostScript and raster data after printing, ready for fast reprint

PostScript data already rasterized and held

Spool area icon What it indicates How long you see the job

1 PostScript data from a user on the network; no destination is defined

Until a destination is chosen

2 PostScript data headed for Print Until the RIP is free

3 PostScript data headed for RIP and Hold

4 PostScript data headed for Print and Hold

FIERY SPOOLER 48Hold queue jobs: When printing requires an operator (because the Print queue and Direct connection are disabled), the operator must assign a destination to all jobs received from users on the network (Icon 1). Once assigned, jobs move down the Spool queue for processing (Icons 2, 3, and 4). All jobs printed to the Hold queue require routing by an operator.

Print queue jobs: When printing does not require an operator, network jobs sent to the Print queue appear in the Spool area, where they are displayed with a white printer icon (Icon 2). When jobs reach the head of the queue, they are RIPped and printed without operator intervention.

Direct Connection: Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not displayed in the job lists. They are displayed briefly in the status bars (where they cannot be selected) and are included in the Job Log.

RIP area

The job icons in the RIP area are as follows:

After a job is rasterized, it goes into the RIP area. The RIP area holds only jobs with raster data. Jobs in the RIP area are either waiting for the copier to be free (Print queue jobs, Icon 2) or are being held (Icon 1). Held jobs in the RIP area have already been rasterized (RIP and Hold), or they have been printed and their raster data has been routed back to the RIP area (Print and Hold).

NOTE: Raster jobs in the RIP area that are waiting to print (Icon 2) cannot be manipulated by job commands.

RIP area icon What it indicates How long you see the job

1 Raster data, no destination defined; may have been printed before and held

Until it is deleted, moved to the Archive window, or stripped of its raster data and sent to the Spool area

2 Raster data headed for Print in its turn; no hold defined

Until copier is free to print the job

FIERY SPOOLER 49Print area

The job icon in the Print area is as follows:

The Print area, also referred to as the Printed queue, contains jobs that have already been printed. These jobs were assigned the Print destination (white printer icon in the Spool or RIP areas) without any Hold instructions; therefore, they all have white icons.

NOTE: A job row that appears in light red indicates that an error occurred while printing the job. To see the error, double-click anywhere in the row.

While it is printing, a job consists of PostScript and raster data. The raster data in RAM is not cleared until memory is needed to rasterize the next job. As long as the raster data is intact, the job can be reprinted from the Printed queue. Printed jobs are represented by a white PostScript icon (Icon 1). If the job was printed from a held raster job (in the RIP area), the raster data in the RIP area remains and can be used to reprint the job after the raster data has been cleared from the Printed queue.

Print area icon What it indicates How long you see the job

1 PostScript data onlyraster data has been deleted

Until the job limit is reached

FIERY SPOOLER 50Previewing, editing, and merging jobsFiery Spooler includes two thumbnail windows that allow you to preview and edit raster data. You can use the thumbnail windows in the following ways:

In Thumbnail A, you can view the currently printing job as it is RIPping, or any raster data job.

From Thumbnail A, you can open a full-screen preview of a raster file.

Using Thumbnail A and Thumbnail B together, you can merge raster data from more than one file, even if the files were printed from different applications on different computer platforms.

The job merge feature eliminates the limitations of certain software applications. You can merge raster pages of documents of different types and from different computer operating systems. You can merge color pages from graphics programs with text pages from a word processor.

Previewing raster jobs

You can use Thumbnail A to preview pages of the currently RIPping job. You can also use Thumbnail A and Thumbnail B to preview any held raster data job in the RIP area.

The thumbnail windows also allow you to open a thumbnail view of any held raster data job in the RIP area and perform electronic collation or document merging. For more information about this feature, see page 52.

Previewing the currently rasterizing job

To see the progress of jobs as they are RIPped, leave Thumbnail A open in RIP Preview mode.

1 In Thumbnail A, select a page and click the Full Preview icon at the left of the window.

You can also display full-screen previews by double-clicking the page in Thumbnail A.

NOTE: If you have edited a job using the thumbnail windows, you must save the edited file before you can view full-screen previews of all its pages.

1 Click to open a full-screen preview.

2 Click to close the thumbnail window.

1 2

FIERY SPOOLER 522 To close the full-screen preview, click the X button above the preview.

Editing and merging raster files

The ability to work with raster files gives you new opportunities to combine documents from different sources into a single file. For example, you can combine covers and chapter head pages created in a page layout application with text pages created in a word processing application, or customize a slide presentation by inserting slides from a different presentation graphics application.

You can display two raster files at once: a source file and a target file. The target file appears in Thumbnail A, and the source file appears in Thumbnail B.

NOTE: You cannot create a new PostScript file in this process; you must print the merged file, which has references to the original PostScript files. Before editing or merging raster files with the thumbnail windows, make sure that the source files were RIPped using the print option settings that you want for the final output.

All Known Formats lists all files in formats supported by Fiery Downloader.

NOTE: Choose All Files for TIFF files.

You can download files and fonts in the same batch. If the fonts are used by files in the same batch, the fonts download first.

5 Choose the Connection Type (Windows) or Queue (Mac OS) to which you download the files.

The options available to you in this menu depend on the setup at your site. The potential selections are Print Queue (Windows) or Print (Mac OS), Hold Queue (Windows) or Hold (Mac OS), and Direct Connection (Windows) or Direct (Mac OS). If your administrator has not enabled one or more of these connections, you cannot select it.

You cannot print PDF or TIFF files 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.

NOTE: To download fonts, you must use the Direct connection (make sure the Direct connection is published on the Fiery X3eTY). If you do not have access to the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file when you generate it.

NOTE: Some applications, including Adobe Photoshop, provide transfer functions that allow you to specify density settings for an image. If the file you are printing includes transfer functions, the Fiery Downloader Brightness option has no effect. For more information about using transfer functions, see the documentation that accompanies your application.

showpage after EPS files (Windows) or showpage (Mac OS) (PostScript and EPS files only): In most cases, you do not need to use this option.

FIERY DOWNLOADER 74Managing printer fonts

The Fiery X3eTY includes 136 PostScript fonts. In addition, two Adobe Multiple Master fonts are included and used for font substitution in PDF files.

For a complete list of fonts, display the Font List (see page 76).

Before downloading a file that uses fonts not resident on the Fiery X3eTY, you must download the fonts (unless the fonts are embedded in the file). To see what fonts are resident on the Fiery X3eTY, choose Font List from the File menu or click the Font List button (see page 69).

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 when you generate it.

The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the Fiery X3eTY are not automatically installed on your Windows system.

Downloader cannot download TrueType fonts. If you use TrueType fonts in Windows, convert them to Adobe Type 1 before printing. To convert to Adobe Type 1 fonts for Windows 98/Me, click the Fonts tab in the Adobe PS printer driver and set up the Font Substitution Table. For Windows NT 4.0, click the Postscript tab of the Fiery X3eTY Document Defaults dialog box and select TrueType Font Setting >Download as Softfont. For Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, click the Postscript tab of the Fiery X3eTY Printing Preferences dialog box and select TrueType Font Setting >Download as Softfont.

You can change font settings in the printer driver to suit your printing needs. For more information, see the printer driver Help menu.

FIERY DOWNLOADER 75Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts

Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Fiery X3eTY come in two forms: printer fonts and screen fonts. Install the screen fonts included with the Fiery X3eTY user software on your Mac OS computer. If you are using these fonts in documents you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, you must install them as described in Fonts on page 11.

Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS) fonts that are not included with the Fiery X3eTY. If so, you must 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 X3eTY

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 X3eTY, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your System Folder. These fonts remain in the Fiery X3eTY only until your document has printed. If you reprint the document, 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 on the Fiery X3eTY, you can save time by downloading them to the Fiery X3eTY hard disk with Downloader. Fonts you download to the Fiery X3eTY hard disk remain installed until you remove them using Downloader, no matter how many times the Fiery X3eTY is turned off and on. Consider downloading fonts you use on a regular basis to the Fiery X3eTY hard disk.

Before you download PostScript, TIFF, or EPS files with Downloader, make sure all fonts included in your file are installed on the Fiery X3eTY or embedded in your file; otherwise, the text in these fonts does not print correctly or may not print at all. For PDF files, font substitution occurs automatically for fonts not installed on the Fiery X3eTY. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored on the Fiery X3eTY are used exclusively for substitution with PDF files.

FIERY DOWNLOADER 76TO VIEW FONT INFORMATION, UPDATE, PRINT, AND DELETE FONTS

Choose Font List from the File menu or click the Font List button.

If the Direct connection is not published, you cannot view the Font List or perform any of the tasks described in this procedure. For information on publishing the Direct connection, see Configuration and Setup or consult your administrator.

The Font List window includes Update, Print, and Delete buttons. The printer fonts included with the Fiery X3eTY (resident fonts) are locked. Locked fonts appear with a Lock icon next to the name and cannot be deleted.
