Mixed Media
The Mixed Media feature allows you to define the chapter divisions of a job, print ranges of
pages on varying types of media, insert blank media between pages, and insert tab media
containing text labels.
The following guidelines and restrictions apply to Mixed Media settings:
The Mixed Media dialog box restricts you from specifying settings that conflict with any
media, page size, or finishing settings that have been specified for the job in the Job
Properties dialog box or printer driver.
When two or more Mixed Media settings are in conflict with each other, the Mixed Media
dialog box highlights the setting names in red, signaling you to resolve the conflict.
When you specify print options (in the Job Properties dialog box or printer driver) after
specifying Mixed Media settings, certain print options may conflict with the page-specific
Mixed Media settings. You must resolve the conflict by choosing different print options or
removing certain Mixed Media specifications.
Mixed Media settings affect the use of output color profiles when the Use media defined
profile option is selected in ColorWise Pro Tools. For more information, see Color
Printing.
If counters are configured for the copier, blank media inserted between pages do not count
as printed pages.

Troubleshooting
To 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.

COMMAND WORKSTATION, WINDOWS EDITION

Troubleshooting
To 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.

The 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.
N OTE : 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

44

Printed 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.
N OTE : 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.

48

FIERY SPOOLER

Hold 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.

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

job commands.

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.
N OTE : 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.

FIERY SPOOLER

Previewing, editing, and merging jobs


Fiery 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.
TO VIEW THUMBNAILS OF THE CURRENTLY RIPPING FILE

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.
N OTE : 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.

Scanning from the Fiery X3eTY Control Panel


The Fiery X3eTY uses a scan to hard disk feature that allows you to use the 35C-KM Control
Panel to scan an image from the copier glass (platen) or document feeder (DF) into a User
Box in Fiery X3eTY memory. Additionally, you can scan a job directly to an e-mail address,
an FTP server, or to a Windows client workstation using an SMB connection. You can then
open the image with Remote Scan or the WebScan WebTool.
From Remote Scan, you can scan a job directly to the Hold queue, so that you can use the
document merging and editing features of Command WorkStation. For more information
about using these features, see Command WorkStation Help.
For information about using the 35C-KM Control Panel menu, see the documentation that
accompanies the 35C-KM.
TO SCAN A JOB TO THE HARD DISK USING THE 35C-KM CONTROL PANEL
1 Position the original face down on the copier glass or face up in the document feeder.
2 Make sure the information screen on the Control Panel reads Idle.
3 To choose the settings for your scan, press Scan Setting, and then press the sub-tabs to make
your choices.
4 Press the Scan button.
5 Select the Destination.

E-Mail Send

SMB Send
SMB Send allows you to scan a job directly to a Windows workstation. You must know the IP
address of the workstation and the name and location of the shared folder that serves as the
Destination folder.

Save in User Box


The Fiery X3eTY has three default user boxes, or mailboxes: admin, operator, and guest. The
passwords for these default mailboxes are the same as for these access levels on the
Fiery X3eTY. If the Mailbox Passwords setting has been enabled in Server Setup on the
Fiery X3eTY, the administrator must set up any new mailboxes and passwords in Page Scope
Web Connection. If the Mailbox Passwords setting has been disabled in Server Setup, any user
can create a mailbox at the Control Panel of the 35C-KM.

Using Remote Scan


With Remote Scan, you can initiate and retrieve scan files remotely. You can open the scan file
in a host application, such as Adobe Photoshop, and send the scan file to a mailbox, the Hold
queue, or an e-mail address. You can then retrieve files using Remote Scan, Fiery WebScan, or
Command WorkStation. All scans are stored on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk and retrieved
through the network.

Managing 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

Printer 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.

1 Click Installer on the WebTools home page.
2 Below the name of your operating system, click the name of the item you want to install.
3 To install user software or user documentation, follow the on-screen instructions.
4 To install printer drivers, continue with the following instructions.

A dialog box appears, prompting you to save the file to the location you choose.
For Windows computers, a dialog box appears, offering you the choice of running the
program across the Internet or intranet or saving it to disk.
For Mac OS computers, a folder named Printer Driver is downloaded to the desktop in a
BinHex-encoded, compressed format. If your Internet browser is equipped with an expander
utility, such as StuffIt Expander, the folder decodes and decompresses automatically.
5 For Windows computers, browse to the location where you want to save the Prntdrve.exe and
click Save.
For Mac OS computers, if the Printer Driver folder did not automatically decode and
decompress, start the utility that performs that function.
6 For Windows computers, double-click the Prntdrve.exe file, browse to the location where you
want to install the folder, and click Next.

The folder is installed to the location you specified.


7 Install the appropriate printer driver for your operating system.
