This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the E-5000/E-3000.

E-5000/E-3000 on the network


When the E-5000/E-3000 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer.
The E-5000/E-3000 supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers
on a network to communicate with each other):
AppleTalk
TCP/IP, which also includes the BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, IPP, IPv4, IPv6,
LDAP, LPD, NBT, POP3, Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, and SSL/TLS
protocols
IPX/SPX (Novell)
These protocols can run concurrently on the same cable. Computers that use other protocols
can print through a server that uses one of the supported protocols. The E-5000/E-3000 is
auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

10

Stages of installation on the network


Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
1 Configuring the network environment

Configure network servers to provide users with access to the E-5000/E-3000 as a networked
printer. For information about configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network
environments as they relate specifically to the E-5000/E-3000, see page 12. For information
about using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network system.
2 Physically connecting the E-5000/E-3000 to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the E-5000/E-3000. Obtain cable, route it to the location where
the E-5000/E-3000 is to be installed (near the copier), and attach the cable to the network
connector of the E-5000/E-3000. For details, see page 20.
3 Setting up the E-5000/E-3000

Configure the E-5000/E-3000 for your printing and network environment (see Setting up the
E-5000/E-3000 from the copier display panel).
4 Preparing user computers for printing

Install the files needed for printing, install user software, and connect the user computers to
the network. The software installation is described in Printing from Windows and Printing
from Mac OS.
5 Administering the E-5000/E-3000

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise
(see Administering the E-5000/E-3000).

Network server setup requirements


This section provides basic information about configuring the E-5000/E-3000 and using it on
the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information
specific to the E-5000/E-3000 is presented. Setting up the network environment correctly
requires the presence and active cooperation of the network administrator. Detailed
instructions for configuring networks is beyond the scope of this manual. For information,
see the documentation that accompanies your network system.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before
you configure E-5000/E-3000 network settings in Setup. This allows the E-5000/E-3000 to
query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the E-5000/E-3000, copier, or network at your
site, alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port
settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.

Windows networks
The E-5000/E-3000 requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.

Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them
dynamically. Make sure that the E-5000/E-3000 name and address are listed in a domain
name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
If more than one E-5000/E-3000 print connection is published (for example, if both the
Print queue and the Hold queue are published), consider creating a printer for each print
connection, so that users can print to each connection directly.
Configure the E-5000/E-3000 with the correct Windows domain name.

This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing.
To use Microsoft Active Directory, you must assign the E-5000/E-3000 to a domain.
If you assign the E-5000/E-3000 to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.

NetWare networks
You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

For more information, see the documentation that accompanies your network server.
You can configure a single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers simultaneously.
The E-5000/E-3000 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print
jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a Print queue
on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client
workstation.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

13

To the end of the NetWare queue names, append one of the following suffixes that
corresponds to the E-5000/E-3000 print connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
N OTE : These suffixes must be in English and in all lowercase letters.

You do not need to perform Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue. However,
always restart the E-5000/E-3000 after you create or remove a queue that will be connected to
the print server used by the E-5000/E-3000.
When the E-5000/E-3000 is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare
server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are automatically transferred over
the network to the matching connection on the E-5000/E-3000. For example, jobs from the
NetWare queue with the _print suffix are sent to the E-5000/E-3000 Print queue.
You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the E-5000/E-3000.

N OTE : The NetWare bindery server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you

selected in NDS Setup, if both NDS and bindery are used by the E-5000/E-3000.

AppleTalk networks
AppleShare servers require no special configuration.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

14

UNIX networks
When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the E-5000/
E-3000 over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the E-5000/E-3000.
Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the
initial configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer.
The E-5000/E-3000 is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.
The E-5000/E-3000 has a remote printer name that you must use in order to communicate
with it successfully.

Regardless of the UNIX system you use, the name you use for the remote printer (or rp in the
/etc/printcap file) in configuring the network for the E-5000/E-3000 must be one of the
following:
print
hold
direct

Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the E-5000/E-3000 as a remote


printer, or can print to a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a
print server.

PREPARING FOR E-5000/E-3000 SETUP

PREPARING

FOR

15

E-5000/E-3000 SETUP
To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial E-5000/E-3000 configuration
(or Setup) to specify the network environment and the types of printing you do. Before you
perform Setup, decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords and other security
features that the E-5000/E-3000 offers. Because many of these security features are
interconnected, review the information in this chapter to plan for an effective security system,
and then perform Setup accordingly.

Levels of access and control


When you configure the E-5000/E-3000 during Setup, you (as system administrator)
implement a particular level of control by configuring these elements:
Users and Groups
Print connections
Access to WebTools

Users and Groups


With the Configure WebTool, you create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with
particular privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default,
and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users that you have created to a group, you can add users from
your organizations global address list if you have LDAP services enabled on the E-5000/
E-3000. For more information, see Configure Help.
Passwords
When you create new users, you assign passwords to them. In addition, you can also set
passwords for these areas:
Default admin user in Administrators group
Default operator user in Operators group
By default, the default Administrator password is set on the E-5000/E-3000. Change the
Administrator password periodically to protect the E-5000/E-3000 from random or
accidental changes to Setup. For more information, see Setting passwords on page 69.
Users in the Administrators and Operators groups have privileges in addition to the explicit
ones that you set when you create groups. Examples of these privileges are provided below.

PREPARING FOR E-5000/E-3000 SETUP

16

Administrator privileges
Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges
include:
Configuring the E-5000/E-3000 from the Configure WebTool or from the E-5000/
E-3000 copier display panel
Adding and deleting groups
Adding and deleting users
Setting and changing passwords for users
Deleting, printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log
Deleting, viewing, and modifying users print jobs
Clearing the E-5000/E-3000 of all job data
Printing black-and-white or color jobs
Publishing print connections
Deleting fonts
Controlling print jobs from the job management tools
Overriding job settings
Setting default settings for print options
Calibrating the E-5000/E-3000
Operator privileges
Users in the Operators group control print jobs from the job management tools, including
the following:
Viewing the Job Log
Deleting, viewing, and modifying other users print jobs
Printing black-and-white or color jobs
Guest privileges (no password)
A user does not need a password to log on as a guest from the job management tools. A guest
can view the status of active jobs, but cannot make changes to jobs or to the E-5000/E-3000
state.

PREPARING FOR E-5000/E-3000 SETUP

17

E-5000/E-3000 print connections


The E-5000/E-3000 supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and Direct
connection. You enable or publish, these print connections to users on the network when
you configure Printer Setup. All published connections are constantly checked for the
presence of jobs. The Print queue and Direct connection give remote users more direct access
to the E-5000/E-3000 than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and
the Direct connection in environments where maximum control is required.
In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs
from the Print queue. The Printed queue allows you to reprint those jobs. In Setup, enable the
Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs to retain in the queue. To reprint
jobs in the Printed queue, use the job management tools (Command WorkStation).
N OTE : To use the utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection.

Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the E-5000/E-3000 hard disk for printing at a later
time, or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to it cannot
proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management
tools.
Print queue
The Print queue is the standard E-5000/E-3000 queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are
processed and printed in the order in which they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator
with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority over jobs
sent to the Print queue.
Direct connection
The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the E-5000/E-3000, but only when the
E-5000/E-3000 is Idle. If the E-5000/E-3000 is busy, the job remains at the user workstation
until the E-5000/E-3000 is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is
finished and before the next queued job is processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the E-5000/E-3000 hard disk, and
cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection
provides a measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear
in the Job Log, for accounting purposes.
N OTE : To download fonts to the E-5000/E-3000, you must publish the Direct connection.

WebTools
The E-5000/E-3000 supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and
Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see Configuring WebTools on page 67.

PREPARING FOR E-5000/E-3000 SETUP

Home
Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the
E-5000/E-3000. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information,
see Utilities.
Downloads
Downloads allows users to download installers for printer drivers and other software directly
from the E-5000/E-3000. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more
information, see Printing from Windows, Printing from Mac OS, and Utilities.
Docs
Docs allows users to access, manage, and modify jobs in their mailboxes on the E-5000/
E-3000, and submit jobs to the E-5000/E-3000. For more information, see Docs Help.
Configure
Configure allows you to view and modify E-5000/E-3000 options from a network computer.
This function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see page 62.

Additional security features


In addition to the traditional security features, such as passwords, you can use these features to
keep the E-5000/E-3000 secure:
E-mail access
IP addresses and ports
Secure Printing
LDAP authentication

Controlling E-mail access to the E-5000/E-3000


Because you can allow users to print file attachments in e-mail messages sent to the E-5000/
E-3000, the E-5000/E-3000 accepts only valid attachments (for example, PostScript or PDF
files). Typically, viruses transmitted via e-mail require execution by the receiver. Attachments
that are not valid files are discarded by the E-5000/E-3000. Because file types such as .BAT,
.VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the E-5000/E-3000 does not process
these file types. The E-5000/E-3000 also ignores e-mails in RTF (Rich Text Format) or
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) format, and any included JavaScript code.
You can define a list of authorized e-mail addresses on the E-5000/E-3000. Any e-mail that
the E-5000/E-3000 receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted.
For more information, see page 74.

PREPARING FOR E-5000/E-3000 SETUP

19

Restricting IP addresses and ports


To restrict unauthorized connections to the E-5000/E-3000, you can permit only users whose
IP addresses are within a defined range. You can also close unnecessary ports to reject inbound
access from the network. Commands or jobs sent from unauthorized IP addresses or ports are
ignored by the E-5000/E-3000.

Secure Printing
This option allows the printing of highly sensitive or confidential files. A user printing a file
with the printer driver assigns a password to the job. The user must then enter the password at
the copier to print the job. For more information, see Print Options.

LDAP authentication
When you enable LDAP communication to retrieve names and other information for people
at your organization, you can specify the type of authentication. For more information, see
page 57.

About Setup
Setup configures the E-5000/E-3000 to communicate with other devices and to manage print
jobs. Perform Setup the first time you turn on the E-5000/E-3000 after new system software
is loaded, or any time Server software is reinstalled. When the network or user printing
environment changes, change the options accordingly.
N OTE : You cannot access Setup functions from Command WorkStation, Macintosh Edition.

Setup from the copier display panel


The first time you perform Setup, you must use the copier display panel. Make settings for, at
a minimum, Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that sequence. After the
initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the copier display panel (page 23) or a
network computer (page 62). Most Setup options can be set using either of these methods.
If you do not make settings in the remaining Setup menus, the E-5000/E-3000 uses default
settings. You must choose settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Setup from a network computer


To set up the E-5000/E-3000 from a network computer, use the Configure application.
Access Configure from WebTools or Command WorkStation, Windows Edition.

network systems that are used at your site, including setting network addresses and names to
be used by workstations, servers, and the E-5000/E-3000 when they communicate with each
other.
Before performing Network Setup, confirm that the E-5000/E-3000 is connected to an active
network, because the E-5000/E-3000 queries the network for zones, servers, and server-based
queues. If you perform Network Setup without a connected and functioning network, default
settings are used that may not meet your needs.
The Network Setup menu includes submenus that allow you to configure port types,
protocols, and network services. Default settings, where applicable, appear in this document
with square brackets. Since Network Setup menus are nested, the names of higher-level
menus are shown in this chapter to the left of each menu heading.
Configure options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If your
network requirements change, you can change Network Setup at any time.
If the E-5000/E-3000 is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically
switches to the correct protocol when it receives a print job.

Description

Allow Courier
Substitution

Yes, No

Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are unavailable when
you download files to the E-5000/E-3000, or when you print a
document for which you do not have the corresponding printer font.
If this option is set to No, jobs with fonts that are unavailable on the
E-5000/E-3000 hard disk generate a PostScript error and do not print.
This setting does not apply to PDF files; font substitution occurs
automatically in PDF files.

Black Overprint

Off, Text, Text/Graphics

With this option set to Text or Text/Graphics, the final text or text/
graphic portions of the page are overprinted, or combined with the
underlying colors. The quality of the output is improved since it will
not show artifacts near the edges of the text or text/graphics.
With this option set to Off, the border of the text or text/graphics is on
an edge that has cyan and magenta toners on one side (outside the text)
and black toner on the other side (inside the text).

CMYK Simulation
Method

Quick, Full (Source GCR),


Full (Output GCR)

Quick simulation assumes that the copier toners match the printers inks,
and all changes affect only one color (C, M, Y, or K) at a time. Full
(Source GCR) simulation allows for more flexibility in matching toner
to ink and all changes interact to maintain a better color balance. Full
(Output GCR) offers accurate proofing by providing a colorimetric
conversion of all four plates. In this simulation method, the black (K)
plate is mixed into the CMY plates, then reseparated based on the
Output profile.

Description
CMYK simulation allows color correction to simulate printed output on
a commercial press, so that the E-5000/E-3000 output can be used for
proofing. The SWOP-Coated standard is used in the United States, DIC
in Japan, and Euroscale in Europe. Custom simulations are user defined
and named. The simulations provided with the E-5000/E-3000 have the
designation EFI after their names.
If users create and load custom simulations on the E-5000/E-3000
with ColorWise Pro Tools, these also appear in the list of simulations.
A custom simulation can be selected as the default simulation. For more
information about custom simulations, see Color Printing.

Color Mode

CMYK, Grayscale

Specify whether to print color (CMYK) or Grayscale images to the


E-5000/E-3000 by default. CMYK gives you full color prints. Select
CMYK as the Color Mode before performing calibration on the E-5000/
E-3000. Grayscale converts all colors into shades of gray.

Convert Paper Sizes

No, Letter/Tabloid->A4/A3,
A4/A3->Letter/Tabloid

Converts paper sizes in documents automatically to the default paper


sizes specified. For example, if you select Letter/11x17->A4/A3, a letter
size document is automatically printed on A4 paper.
This option works in conjunction with the Default Paper Sizes option.
For example, if Convert Paper Sizes is set to Letter/11x17->A4/A3, and
Default Paper Sizes is set to US, then jobs are printed A4/A3 size.
This also includes E-5000/E-3000 system pages such as the Start Page,
Test Page, and Job Log.

Default Paper Sizes

US, Metric (default is US in the


United States, Metric elsewhere)

Prints on US paper sizes (for example, Letter, Legal, 11x17), or Metric


paper sizes (for example, A4 or A3) by default. When no page size is
defined within a PostScript file, jobs are printed on Letter paper if you
selected US; or A4 paper if you selected Metric.

Image Quality

Best, Normal

Specify the type of image quality to be used as the E-5000/E-3000


default. If you select Best, while image quality improves, processing time
may become longer, and the size of the processed job may be larger

Image Smoothing

Automatic, Off, On, Below


90 ppi, Below 150 ppi, Below
200 ppi, Below 300 ppi

Select On to minimize grainy output when printing low0resolution


images. When you select On, Image Smoothing is applied to all images.
Select Automatic to use smoothing only when it makes a visible

Yes, No

Specify whether the E-5000/E-3000 should print the available portion of


a print job when it encounters a PostScript error. Select Yes to print the
portion of the job that was processed before the error occurred; select No
to cancel the print job entirely when a PostScript error is encountered.
Leave this option at No unless you encounter printing problems.

Rendering Style

Photographic, Presentation, Abs.


Colorimetric, Rel. Colorimetric

The color rendering dictionary (CRD) defines how colors are converted
from the RGB color space to device CMYK. Photographic, designed for
images, retains the relative balance between colors to maintain the overall
appearance of the image. Presentation, designed for bright colors,
produces the saturated prints needed for most business presentations, but
handles photographic images the same way as the Photographic CRD.
Absolute Colorimetric provides the closest match to the CMYK device
being simulated, including rendering the paper color as the background.
Relative Colorimetric provides a close match to the CMYK device being
simulated, regardless of the media used.

RGB Separation

Output, Simulation

This option defines how the E-5000/E-3000 processes RGB jobs. Select
Output for RGB jobs that you print to the final output device. Select
Simulation to simulate an output device that is not the device to which
you are printing.

RGB Source Profile

EFIRGB, sRGB (PC), Apple


Standard, Adobe RGB(1998),
None

The RGB source is the color space used to control color for conversion
from monitor to printed output. EFIRGB is based on the reference
points used in the creation of the E-5000/E-3000 software. sRGB is
based on an average of a large number of PC monitors. Apple Standard
is the standard reference point for Apples ColorSync software.

Scale to Fit

On, Off

Specify whether to scale a document size to a selected paper size if the


document size is different from the paper size. With the Off setting, if
the document size is larger than the selected paper size, the document
is cropped to the paper size when printed.

N OTE : Perform LDAP Setup before setting this address book. For more information, see

page 57.
E-mail Service also allows the administrator to overwrite the address book, add new addresses,
remove addresses, and retrieve current addresses on the E-5000/E-3000.
When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the E-5000/E-3000 first checks the Print address
book. If the users e-mail address does not match any entry in the Print address book, the job
does not print. Instead, the user receives an e-mail stating that the print job was not accepted.
The default wildcard character @ is stored in the Print address book. This allows any user to
print to the E-5000/E-3000 until the administrator adds the first entry in the Print address
book.

ADMINISTERING THE E-5000/E-3000

The administrator can manage the address books by sending an e-mail to the E-5000/E-3000
with command codes in the Subject and Message fields. The E-5000/E-3000 responds by
e-mail to these commands with information about each request. When managing address
books, see the following table.
To add or remove more than one address at a time, list the addresses on separate lines in the
message field of the e-mail.

Printing the Configuration page


The Configuration page lists the settings in effect for the current Setup. After you perform
Setup, print a Configuration page to confirm your settings. Post the current Configuration
page near the E-5000/E-3000 for quick reference. Users need the information on this page,
such as the current printer default settings.
TO PRINT THE CONFIGURATION PAGE FROM COMMAND WORKSTATION
1 In Command WorkStation, choose Print Pages from the Server menu.
2 Click Configuration.
3 Click Print.

Maintaining optimal E-5000/E-3000 performance


The E-5000/E-3000 does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of
servicing and maintaining the copier and replenishing consumables, you can improve the
overall performance of your system by doing the following:
Make the best use of your network connections.

Publish only connections that will be used. The E-5000/E-3000 constantly checks all
published connections, even if they are inactive. Match the NetWare polling interval and the
number of queues or connections to the demand for printing.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate the
connections that are not being used. It is easy to re-establish them when needed.
Leave less urgent jobs to times when there is less network traffic or printing.

You can print recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent to the Hold queue. At low-traffic
times, the administrator or a user of the job management tools with Operator privileges can
move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs to the Print queue for printing.
Reduce unnecessary network communication.

Large numbers of users running Fiery utilities, especially with frequent updates, may have a
significant effect on E-5000/E-3000 performance.
Make sure that you have adequate disk space on the E-5000/E-3000.

Periodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue and the number of jobs being retained in
the Printed queue.
An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed queue and Hold queue.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the E-5000/E-3000 is
frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) and choose not to publish
the Hold queue (in Printer Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use the job management tools. When you free up disk space
by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.

Understanding power save considerations


The E-5000/E-3000 power save mode conserves power when the E-5000/E-3000 has been
inactive for a period of time. The following activities and Setup options, however, prevent the
E-5000/E-3000 from entering power save mode:
Connecting to the E-5000/E-3000 with Downloader or ColorWise Pro Tools
Enabling E-Mail Services on the E-5000/E-3000
Enabling the E-5000/E-3000 to accept jobs from NetWare servers (PServer Setup)
In these cases, users can continue to connect to the E-5000/E-3000 and print jobs, but you
will not be able to benefit from the power save mode.
If the E-5000/E-3000 is already in power save mode, certain E-5000/E-3000 utilities and jobs
printed from certain types of network connections may prevent the E-5000/E-3000 from
immediately exiting power save mode, and causing a short delay in connecting to the E-5000/
E-3000. Connections will be made on subsequent retries.
If your network uses a DHCP server, renewing leases for the IP address of the E-5000/E-3000
while it is in power save mode is not guaranteed. If the lease for an IP address expires while the
E-5000/E-3000 is in power save mode, the E-5000/E-3000 may not have the proper address,
resulting in jobs that may not successfully reach the E-5000/E-3000.

Shutting down, rebooting, and restarting the E-5000/E-3000


Generally, you can leave the E-5000/E-3000 and the copier running all the time. This section
describes how to shut down, reboot, and restart the E-5000/E-3000 when necessary.

Shutting down the E-5000/E-3000


When you need to shut down the E-5000/E-3000, fonts downloaded to the E-5000/E-3000
are not deleted. Jobs in the Hold and Print queues and jobs that have been processed but not
printed are not deleted and are available for printing when you reboot or restart the E-5000/
E-3000.
N OTE : To turn off the power to the entire system (Main Power Down), see the Start Guide

that accompanies your copier.


TO SHUT DOWN THE E-5000/E-3000
1 Make sure that the E-5000/E-3000 is not receiving, processing, or printing any files.

If the system has just finished processing, wait at least five seconds after the system reaches
Idle before beginning the shutdown procedure.
2 At the copier, press the fierydriven button.
3 At the copier display panel, press the Menu button to display the Functions menu.
4 Press the down arrow to scroll to Shut Down.
5 Choose Shut Down System.

Rebooting or restarting the E-5000/E-3000


Restarting the E-5000/E-3000 resets the E-5000/E-3000 system software, but does not
reboot the entire system. Network access to the E-5000/E-3000 is temporarily interrupted
and all currently processing jobs are terminated.
If you use a USB thumb drive, remove it before rebooting. Otherwise, the E-5000/E-3000
does not reboot.
TO REBOOT OR RESTART THE E-5000/E-3000
1 Make sure that the E-5000/E-3000 status displays Idle and that no jobs are being processed
or printed.
2 At the copier, press the fierydriven button.
3 At the Control Panel, press the Menu button.
4 Choose Shut Down from the Functions screen.
5 From the Shut Down screen, select Reboot System or Restart Server.

Standard TCP/IP (Raw or LPR)
IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell)
IPP or IPP over SSL

SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS

20

Completing the SMB printing connection


If your network does not have a Windows server, Windows computers can still print to the
E-5000/E-3000. This method of printing is SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS
printing). When users send print jobs, computers running Windows operate in a peer-to-peer
environment and communicate directly with the E-5000/E-3000.
Enabling SMB printing allows the E-5000/E-3000 to be listed on the network, so that
Windows clients can print to a particular print connection (Print queue, Hold queue,
or Direct connection) on the E-5000/E-3000 without using other networking software.
Windows printing runs via TCP/IP. You must configure TCP/IP on the E-5000/E-3000
and on all computers that use SMB printing.
After you enable SMB printing on the E-5000/E-3000, you can set up the Windows or SMB
connection and install the printer driver from the User Software CD (PS Printer Drivers).
For more information, see Installing printer drivers by Point and Print on page 11.

SETTING UP PRINTING CONNECTIONS

21

Completing Standard TCP/IP Port (Raw or LPR) printing connections

LPR) protocols. For details, see Configuration and Setup.
Enable LPD or Port 9100 on the E-5000/E-3000. For details, see Configuration and Setup.
Configure the computer for the TCP/IP connection.
Before you complete the following procedure, contact your system administrator for the
IP address assigned to the E-5000/E-3000.
The TCP/IP protocol should be installed as a default on the Windows computer. For Port
9100, you can set up the connection and install the printer driver in one procedure.
N OTE : You can also set up the LPR connection by installing Print Services for UNIX, which is

supplied as an add-on Windows component with Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. For more

How E-mail Service works


To set up E-mail Service, see Configuration and Setup.
To print with an e-mail client, you send a file as an e-mail attachment. E-mail Service extracts
the file and sends it to the E-5000/E-3000. The attachment can be in any format the E-5000/
E-3000 recognizes (PostScript, PDF, or TIFF).
N OTE : E-mail Service does not process files with .vbs, .exe, or .bat extensions.

To print through Mail Port, you must first set up Mail Port as described in Configuring the
connection for Mail Port on page 36. Then, when you print from an application and select
the printer connected to the Mail Port, the print job is sent to the E-5000/E-3000 via e-mail.
E-mail Service supports Scan to E-mail, a feature that allows you to scan a document and send
it to an e-mail address as an attachment or URL. For more information about Scan to E-mail,
see Utilities.
The E-5000/E-3000 supports internal address books. Administrators can retrieve, add,
delete, and clear addresses from the address books by sending requests via e-mail. For more
information about address books, see Configuration and Setup.

Printing using an e-mail client


You can submit print jobs to the E-5000/E-3000 in the form of an e-mail attachment using
your e-mail application. When you send an e-mail with an attachment, E-mail Service
extracts the file and sends it to the E-5000/E-3000 Print queue. The file format must be one
supported by the E-5000/E-3000.
By default, anyone can print with an e-mail client, unless the Print address book has been set
up by the administrator. If the Print address book has been set up and your e-mail address is
not in it, you cannot send files to the E-5000/E-3000 via e-mail. For more information about
address books, see Configuration and Setup.
N OTE : The Direct connection is not supported by the e-mail client feature.
N OTE : The following illustrations show the Microsoft Outlook e-mail application.

The file is sent to the E-5000/E-3000 and the job is printed. After the E-5000/E-3000
receives the job, you are sent an e-mail notification that the print job was accepted. The e-mail
provides a job identification (ID). Use the job IDs to manage jobs with Job Control (see the
following section). The e-mail notification indicates any current error at the copier.
After the job is printed, you are sent a second e-mail notification indicating that the job
printed successfully.

INTRODUCTION

Key features of ColorWise


ColorWise is the color management system (CMS) built into the E-5000/E-3000 and
designed to provide both casual and expert users with the best color output for a variety
of purposes. The ColorWise default settings provide high-quality, out-of-box color from
many Windows and Mac OS applications. This allows casual users to achieve quality output
without knowing about or changing any color settings on the E-5000/E-3000.
For consistent color, calibrate the E-5000/E-3000 on a regular basis. ColorWise Pro Tools
includes an easy-to-use calibrator, which allows you to calibrate using either the scanning unit
that is part of the copier or an optional spectrophotometer or densitometer
(see Calibration on page 35).
ColorWise features allow you to modify printing results. Depending on your particular needs,
you can:
Set the behavior of CMYK printing to emulate DIC, Euroscale, SWOP and other offset
press standards.
Match PANTONE and other spot colors for the best match when printing using
four-color press conditions or presses with extra, custom plates.
Select a color rendering dictionary (CRD), also called a rendering style, for RGB
printing. CRDs allow for rich, saturated printing of presentation graphics, smooth,
accurate printing of photographs, and relative or absolute colorimetric rendering for
specialized needs.
Define the source of incoming RGB color data for better color conversion of RGB data
with no source information.
Determine whether RGB data is converted into the full gamut of the copier or is first
converted into the gamut of another device, such as a press standard. This feature is useful
for making one device behave like another for RGB data. It also allows you to evaluate the
appearance of an RGB file under different printing conditions without having to convert
the RGB file to CMYK first.
ColorWise color management (ColorWise) offers an open color architecture, allowing
users to customize the E-5000/E-3000 to meet new printing needs as they arise. ColorWise
supports ICC profiles, which are industry standard color profiles that describe the color
behavior of a device. Note that ICC specification version 4 profiles (profile version 4.2.0.0)
are supported as well as version 2. Downloading ICC profiles to the E-5000/E-3000 enables
the E-5000/E-3000 to simulate a custom press (or another copier), as well as accurately print
colors from a particular monitor or scanner. In addition, you can create customized ICC
profiles for the copier.
ColorWise also allows you to use any Status T densitometer by importing data in a standard
file format (see Importing Density Measurements on page 102). In this case, it is important
to note that the quality of the instrument used determines the quality of the calibration.

Setting up ColorWise Pro Tools on a Windows computer


The following sections describe how to install ColorWise Pro Tools and other files and
configure the connection on a Windows computer.

Installing ColorWise Pro Tools


All installation of user software on a Windows computer is done through the Fiery User
Software Installer. The procedures in Utilities describe installing from the User Software CD
(Utilities).
To use ColorWise Pro Tools on a Windows computer, you must install Sun Java 5. If this file
is not installed on your computer, the ColorWise Pro Tools installer automatically initiates the
installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Installing the ICC profiles


You can copy additional ICC profiles from the User Software CD (PS Printer Drivers) to your
computer. Use the ICC profiles with applications that support ICC standards, such as Adobe
Photoshop. For most ICC-aware applications, you must install the files in a folder named
Color. For use with ColorWise Pro Tools, copy the files to a folder of your choice.
TO INSTALL THE ICC PROFILES ON A WINDOWS COMPUTER
1 Insert the User Software CD (PS Printer Drivers) into the CD-ROM drive.
2 Open the ICC folder.
3 Right-click the profile that you want, and then click Install Profile.

The profiles are installed automatically to the Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color folder


(Windows XP) or WINNT\System32\spool\drivers\color folder (Windows 2000) on your
computer.

Using ColorWise Pro Tools


ColorWise Pro Tools gives you flexible control of color printing by allowing you to calibrate
the E-5000/E-3000, customize simulation and output profiles, manage profiles on the
E-5000/E-3000, manage spot colors, and set default values for ColorWise print options.

Using Calibrator
ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator allows you to calibrate the E-5000/E-3000 using one of a
number of measurement methods. For information about calibrating the E-5000/E-3000,
see page 35.

Using Color Editor


ColorWise Pro Tools Color Editor allows you to create custom profiles by editing existing
simulation or output profiles, and then saving the changes as a new profile. Use Color Editor
to fine-tune a profile on the E-5000/E-3000 to meet your exact specifications. Access Color
Editor directly, by clicking its icon in the ColorWise Pro Tools main window, or indirectly,
through the Profile Manager.
N OTE : You cannot edit source profiles. Only simulation and output profiles can

be customized.
TO USE COLOR EDITOR
1 Start ColorWise Pro Tools and connect to the E-5000/E-3000.

2 Click Color Editor.

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

23

Simulation lists the simulation profiles resident on the E-5000/E-3000. Output lists the
output profiles resident on the E-5000/E-3000.
3 Select a profile and click Select.

For more information about Color Editor, see ColorWise Pro Tools Help.
Adjusting gray balance
The AutoGray feature allows you to use the copiers built-in scanner as a measurement device
for adjusting the gray balance of output profiles. Gray balance refers to the quality of neutral
gray tones in a profile. In many cases, gray tones may contain a bluish or reddish color cast.
AutoGray helps shift these tones back toward neutral grays. If you are satisfied with the gray
balance of the copier, you do not need to use AutoGray.
TO CORRECT THE GRAY BALANCE OF AN OUTPUT PROFILE
1 Start ColorWise Pro Tools and click Color Editor.
2 Choose Output from the View list.

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

3 Select a profile to edit and click Select.

Or, you can open the Profile Manager, select a profile, and then click Edit, which starts
Color Editor.

4 Choose Custom from the Edit Mode menu.


5 Click AutoGray.
6 If the output profile contains no edit points, continue to step 8. If the output profile
contains edit points from a previous AutoGray session, choose Refine or New.

24

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

25

Refine reuses edits points from a previous session in an attempt to make them more accurate.

Refine is optional; use it only if the gray balance in your test document still needs
improvements after the first AutoGray session. If two Refine applications cannot fix the
situation, it is probably because your test document is not correctly addressing the output
profile, or because the output profile that you are editing does not adequately describe the
actual copier and printing conditions. Applying Refine more than twice is not recommended.
New starts a new AutoGray session by first removing all edit points from a previous session.

New is recommended when you have performed more than two Refine applications.
7 If the output profile contains edit points that were entered by a user, choose Proceed to
remove the points and continue with the AutoGray adjustment.

Proceed starts a fresh AutoGray session by first removing all user edit points. This is because
AutoGray cannot modify user-entered points.

8 In the Print Options dialog box that appears, choose the Input Tray to use for the
measurement page and click Print.

The Page Type is automatically set to AutoGray Measurement Page.


The Paper Size is automatically set to LTR/A4.

For more information about Profile Manager, see ColorWise Pro Tools Help.
For information about the Use Media Defined Profile option, see the following section.
For more information about using Device Link Profiles, see page 28.

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

28

Setting the default profiles


Use Profile Manager to set a default RGB source profile, simulation profile, or output profile.
The default RGB source and simulation profiles that you set are applied to all print jobs sent
to the E-5000/E-3000, unless you override them using print options. The same is true of the
default output profile that you set, unless you select the Use Media Defined Profile option.
The Use Media Defined Profile option indicates whether or not to automatically apply the
output profile associated with the media type used in a print job. For more information, see
the following section.
Using media-defined output profiles
Instead of having Profile Manager apply a default output profile to all your print jobs, you can
keep the Use Media Defined Profile option selected. This option automatically applies the
output profile predefined for the media type in your print job. If your job contains mixed
media, this option can apply different output profiles predefined for the different media.
The Use Media Defined Profile option in Profile Manager is selected by default. It is applied
to all print jobs sent to the E-5000/E-3000, unless a user overrides it for an individual job by
changing settings in the printer driver.
TO USE MEDIA-DEFINED OUTPUT PROFILES
1 Start ColorWise Pro Tools and click Profile Manager.
2 Select Use Media Defined Profile in the Output bar of Profile Manager.

Changing the setting for the Use Media Defined Profile option in Profile Manager
automatically changes the same setting in Color Setup. For more information, see
Using Color Setup on page 33.
About Device Link Profiles
The E-5000/E-3000 supports the use of Device Link Profiles. A Device Link Profile describes
the conversion from one color space to another. Device Link Profiles are restrictive because
they define the complete conversion from a source device to a destination device. When you
print using a Device Link Profile, you do not choose a source profile or an output profile
because the Device Link Profile specifies both. ColorWise supports two kinds of Device Link
Profiles: RGB source to CMYK destination and CMYK source to CMYK destination.
A Device Link Profile bypasses most ColorWise color management because the information
needed to convert from the source to destination is fully contained in a Device Link Profile.
N OTE : Depending on your jobs workflow, you may not need to use Device Link Profiles.

COLORWISE PRO TOOLS

29

Installing Device Link Profiles


If you are an administrator, you can download Device Link Profiles to the E-5000/E-3000
using Profile Manager. You must associate a Device Link Profile with the following settings:
An RGB Source Profile or a CMYK Simulation Profile setting and
An Output Profile setting
The Device Link Profile is enabled when these two settings are selected.
You can enable a Device Link Profile in three locations:
In ColorWise Pro Tools Color Setup, select the default settings for RGB Source Profile,
CMYK Simulation Profile, and Output Profile. These settings apply to all jobs unless
overridden for a particular job.
Use Expert Color Settings in the E-5000/E-3000 printer drivers to select the settings for
RGB Source Profile, CMYK Simulation Profile, and Output Profile when you print a job.
Use Command WorkStation Job Properties to override the settings for RGB Source
Profile, CMYK Simulation Profile, and Output Profile for a specific job.
For more information about enabling Device Link Profiles using Color Setup, see page 34.
For more information about enabling Device Link Profiles using Expert Color Settings in the

Calibrating with ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator


ColorWise Pro Tools Calibrator allows you to calibrate the E-5000/E-3000 using the
measurement method of your choice.
Changing calibration has the potential to affect all jobs for all users, so consider limiting the
number of people authorized to perform calibration. Set an Administrator password to
control access to calibration (see Configuration and Setup).
N OTE : Multiple users can be connected to one E-5000/E-3000 with ColorWise Pro Tools, but

only one user at a time can use Calibrator. If you try to calibrate when another user is using
ColorWise Pro Tools to calibrate, an error message appears.

Starting Calibrator
Start Calibrator from the ColorWise Pro Tools main window.
TO CALIBRATE THE E-5000/E-3000 USING CALIBRATOR

tasks while in Standard mode. Expert mode offers two additional options: Print Pages and
View Measurements.

Calibration methods

39

CALIBRATION

With the Print Pages option, print Comparison Pages showing the results of the new
measurements with any profile associated with the currently selected calibration set. You can
create a custom Comparison Page and save it as a PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
file called CALIB.PS. Next, print the file to the Hold queue of the E-5000/E-3000 from your
application. You can also create a CALIB.PS file by renaming any job in the Hold queue using
Command WorkStation (see Utilities).
With the View Measurements option, you can view the current set of measurements as a table
or graph that shows both the measurements and the target curves.

Output profile name

When more than one profile uses the same target, an additional menu called Plot Against
appears in the upper-right corner of the dialog box. It lists all output profiles that use that
same calibration set. Selecting an output profile from this menu displays the target curves
associated with that profile. If each output profile contains a unique calibration target, the
curves displayed also change when you switch profiles.

Applying measurements to multiple calibration sets


The Apply to All Calibration Sets option in Calibrator allows you to copy the measurements
from the calibration you are currently performing to all calibrations sets on the server. This
option is only available if the E-5000/E-3000 has more than one calibration set. It is selected
by default.

CALIBRATION

40

If you clear the Apply to All Calibration Sets option, you can choose to apply the current
calibration to a selected subset of the calibration sets on the server. Specify which sets by
clicking Customize next to the Apply to All Calibration Sets option, which opens the Apply
To dialog box.

Select or clear individual calibration sets, and then click OK.


If any of the selected calibration sets are not associated with an output profile, a warning
appears, but you can choose to apply the calibration measurements to that set anyway.
The calibration measurements are copied to the specified calibration sets at the end of the
calibration process when you click Apply.

Restoring default calibration measurements


Use the following procedure to return to factory default calibration measurements.
TO RESTORE DEFAULT CALIBRATION MEASUREMENTS
1 In the Calibrator dialog box, click Restore Device.
2 Click OK to restore the preset default calibration set.

ColorCal has the following features:


Scanner calibration: ColorCal lets you calibrate the scanner (copier feeder) using the
Kodak Color and Gray Scale strips.
Measurement page: For ColorCal, square black-and-white and color patches are grouped
by color and printed on the ColorCal Measurement Page.
N OTE : To calibrate using ColorCal, use the Kodak Gray Scale strip included in the customer

media pack that came with your E-5000/E-3000. You also need the Kodak Gray Scale strip
and Kodak Color Control Patches strip to calibrate the scanner of the copier for ColorCal.
When you run ColorCal from ColorWise Pro Tools, you have the option to calibrate the
copiers scanner before you calibrate the E-5000/E-3000. We recommend that you calibrate
the scanner for ColorCal when the copier output has been adjusted, such as after maintenance
or service.

Understanding calibration
The following sections describe important concepts and suggestions for understanding
calibration.

An overview of calibration
Calibration generates curves that adjust for the difference between the actual toner densities
(measurements) and the response expected by the output profile.
Measurements represent the actual color behavior of the copier.
Calibration sets are sets of measurements that combine media and quality mode options
provided for Calibrator.
Each output profile contains a calibration target that describes the expected behavior of the
copier.
After you calibrate the E-5000/E-3000, a calibration set is stored. This calibration set is used
when it is associated with an output profile. Every output profile has an associated calibration
set. If you have not specified one, the calibration set associated with the default output profile
is used.
If you change the calibration after a saved job has been processed (RIPped), you do not have to
reprocess (reRIP) the job. The new calibration affects the job without reprocessing.
N OTE : Changing calibration has the potential to affect all jobs for all users, so consider

limiting the number of people authorized to perform calibration. Set an Administrator


password in E-5000/E-3000 Setup to control access to calibration (see Configuration and
Setup).

How calibration works


Although the needs of most users are met by the default calibration set, the E-5000/E-3000
allows you to choose a calibration set to customize calibration for specialized jobs.
Calibration allows you to:
Maximize the color reproduction capabilities of the E-5000/E-3000.
Ensure consistent color quality over time.
Produce consistent output across E-5000/E-3000 servers.
Achieve better color matches when reproducing spot colors, such as PANTONE colors or
other named color systems.
Optimize the E-5000/E-3000 for using ColorWise rendering styles (CRDs), CMYK
simulations, and ICC profiles.

CALIBRATION

58

Success in obtaining satisfactory print quality from the E-5000/E-3000 depends on many
factors. Among the most important are establishing and maintaining optimal toner densities.
The density is the measure of the light absorbed by a surface. By carefully regulating toner
densities, you obtain consistent printed color.
Even with a calibrated system, toner density is affected by the settings of copier, humidity, and
temperature. Density also tends to drift over time. Uneven toner density on paper affects
calibration results. Regular measurement detects day-to-day variations in density, gradation,
and color reproduction, and calibration corrects them.
Calibration works by creating calibration curves on the E-5000/E-3000 that compensate for
the difference between actual (measured) and desired (target) density values. These calibration
curves are the graphic equivalent of transfer functions, which are mathematical descriptions of
changes that are made to the initial data. Transfer functions are often graphed as input or
output curves.
The E-5000/E-3000 generates calibration curves after comparing measured values to the final
target values for each of the four toner colors. The target values are based on the output profile
specified.
Measurements
Measurement files contain numerical values that correspond to the toner density produced by
the copier when it prints solid cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, and graduated tints of those
colors.
To create a measurement file, print a page of color patches. Measure the patches using a color
measurement instrument connected to a computer on the network, or if it is available, the
print devices scanner. The new measurements are automatically downloaded to the E-5000/
E-3000.
Output profiles and calibration sets
Output profiles and calibration sets define desired calibration results. One or more output
profiles and calibration sets are provided with the E-5000/E-3000. When you calibrate the
E-5000/E-3000, select the calibration set that corresponds to the typical printing jobs at your
site. This same calibration set can be associated with one or more output profiles. For more
information about output profiles, see page 91.

CALIBRATION

59

Scheduling calibration
Calibrate the E-5000/E-3000 at least once a day, depending on the volume of print jobs.
If it is very important to maintain consistent color, or your copier is subject to wide
fluctuations in temperature or humidity, calibrate every few hours. For optimal performance,
calibrate whenever there is a noticeable change in print quality or printing results are not as
expected.
If you must split a print job into two or more batches to print at different times, it is
important to calibrate before you print each batch. You should also calibrate the E-5000/
E-3000 after copier maintenance. However, because the copier may be less stable immediately
after maintenance, wait until you have printed approximately 50 pages before you calibrate.
N OTE : Because printed output from the copier is very sensitive to changes in temperature and

humidity, do not install the copier near a window, in direct sunlight, or near a heater or air
conditioner. Paper is also sensitive to climate changes. Store it in a cool, dry, stable
environment, and keep reams sealed until they are used.
To monitor print quality, print the following color pages:
Color Charts (from Command WorkStation or the copier display panel)
Color reference pages included in the User Software CD (PS Printer Drivers) (see pages 12
and 18)
These pages include fully saturated color patches and pale tints of cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black. Images with skin tones offer a good basis for comparison. Save and periodically
compare the pages you print. If a noticeable change in appearance occurs, calibrate the
E-5000/E-3000.
When you examine the Test Page, all color patches should be visible, even though they may be
very faint in the five to two percent range. Each patch set should show uniform gradation from
patch to patch as the color lightens from 100% to zero.
If the solid density patches (100% cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) look less saturated over
time, show the pages to your copier service technician to determine whether adjusting the
copier can improve output.

Checking calibration status


To verify whether the E-5000/E-3000 is calibrated, which calibration set and output profile
were used, and when the copier was last calibrated, perform the following:
Print a Configuration page or Test Page from the copier display panel or Command
WorkStation.
Select a calibration set in Calibrator. The last calibration and the user who performed it
are displayed.

SPOT-ON

60

SPOT-ON
The Spot Color Matching print option automatically matches spot colors with their best
CMYK equivalents so that spot colors can be simulated using the CMYK toner of the copier.
However, you may want to adjust the default CMYK equivalents to achieve a better match for
your specific printing conditions. You can modify spot colors using Spot-On.
In addition to managing named colors, Spot-On allows you to create a list of substitute
colors. These are colors that, when called for in a document by their RGB or CMYK values,
are substituted with a different color having the CMYK values from the Spot-On color
dictionary. This permits exact color control and overrides individual RGB and CMYK colors.

Using Spot-On
Spot-On allows you to adjust and manage lists of spot colors and their CMYK equivalents.
The matching lists of spot colors and CMYK values are known as Spot Color Dictionaries.
Spot-On allows you to maintain multiple Spot Color Dictionaries for each output profile on
the E-5000/E-3000.
N OTE : To use the Spot-On features with named colors, you must enable the Spot Color

Matching print option. For more information about this option, see page 95.
N OTE : Spot colors identified by names are printed with their defined CMYK values. The edits

to the output profile made with Color Editor do not affect how spot colors print.
Some Spot-On features require that a job be displayed with correct colors on your monitor.
To display the colors correctly on your monitor, you must set up the monitor display
according to the manufacturers recommendations, and specify the correct monitor profile for
your monitor.
Specify the following settings for the monitor display:
At the monitor: Brightness, Contrast, and Temperature
From the control panel of the operating system: Resolution, Refresh rate, and Number
of colors
For more information about setting up your monitor and the monitor profile, see the
documentation that accompanies the monitor.

Starting Spot-On
To use Spot-On, you must specify the output profile associated with the Spot Color
Dictionary that you want to edit.
If you select Output profile X and redefine PANTONE 123 from 30%M to 50%M using
Spot-On, you will get 50%M when you print a job with Output profile X. If you print a job
with Output profile Y, you will get the original value. If you select Output profile X and create
a custom color named My Purple and define it as 80C 40M, ColorWise automatically
calculates the Lab values using Output profile X and creates new CMYK values for use with
Output profile Y.
N OTE : The E-5000/E-3000 allows only one user to connect to Spot-On at a time.

search for a particular color in the Spot-On list.
Color groups in the Spot-On window appear in order of their priority. Highest priority is
assigned to color groups at the top of the list. For instance, if two colors from two different
color groups have the same name, the E-5000/E-3000 uses the color from the higher group
and disregards the other color. By managing the priority of colors in this way, you can
maintain several CMYK variants for the same spot color.

If an existing spot color is not printing as intended, edit the color values as needed to achieve
your intended result. Edit color values by entering the exact CMYK values in the Spot-On
main window or in the Set Center Patch Color dialog box, or using the Spot-On Color Search
feature.
Use the following procedures to edit a named color by entering the exact CMYK values.
To target a color using Spot-On Color Search, see page 69.

updates to reflect the old and new colors.
6 Click OK.

The new color is displayed in the center of the Spot-On Color Search dialog box.
7 Click OK.

The edited color appears in the color list of the Spot-On main window.
Use the following procedure to target a color using the Spot-On Color Search dialog box.
Beginning with an approximate color in the Spot-On Color Search dialog box, adjust the hue,
saturation, and lightness of the color until you achieve an acceptable match.
TO TARGET A COLOR USING SPOT- ON COLOR SEARCH
1 Select the color that you want to edit.
2 Double-click the color icon.

The Spot-On Color Search dialog box appears with the current color in the center.

3 To update the center patch to a neighboring color that more closely matches the target, click
the corresponding neighbor patch.

Neighboring patches represent variations from the center patch and can be selected if they
offer a closer match to the desired color. Clicking one of these patches updates the center
patch to the new color and provides a new selection of neighboring colors. These patches are
either lightness or saturation neighbors, depending on the option you choose in the following
step.
N OTE : When you select certain colors, an exclamation point icon may appear in the

upper-right corner of the dialog box. This icon indicates that one or more colorants have
reached their maximum values.

SPOT-ON

4 Use the following techniques to control how neighboring color patches are generated:
Select Lightness or Saturation in the Color Directions Legend.

Lightness generates neighbor patches based on darker to lighter shades of the original color.
This variation is displayed from left to right, with the original color remaining in the center of
the middle group.
Saturation generates neighbor patches based on less saturated to more saturated variations
of the original color. This variation is displayed from left to right, with the original color
remaining in the center of the middle group.
Choose a setting from the Color Spacing menu to control the closeness of the neighbor
patches.

A higher setting generates neighbor patches that differ more noticeably from the center color.
As you get closer to your target color, reduce the color spacing to a smaller value.
Select Monitor Compensation to simulate how all the on-screen color patches will appear
when printed on paper.

This simulation depends on the monitor profile that has been configured for your monitor.
To specify the monitor profile, choose Preferences from the Edit menu in the Spot-On
main window.
Make sure that you set your monitor according to the manufacturers recommendations and
select the correct monitor profile for your monitor.
5 Continue adjusting the color patch controls and clicking neighbor patches until the color you
want appears in the center patch.
6 Click Print Pattern.

N OTE : It is very difficult to accurately match spot colors on a monitor. You should always test

print to get the proper color match.


7 Choose the appropriate settings from the Output Style, Paper Size, and Paper Tray menus.

For Output Style, choose Color Search Pattern or Color Neighbor Pattern. Color Search
Pattern prints patches with the same pattern as displayed in the Color Search dialog box.
Color Neighbor Pattern prints patches in a three column by eight row format.
For Paper Size, choose the size of the paper that you want to use for printing the patches.
For Paper Tray, specify the paper source for the paper that you want to use.

The goal of Spot-On Color Search is to find the color values that make a printed color patch
match a target, not its screen simulation of it. Printing a Print Pattern of neighbor color
patches allows you to compare the printed patches to the color target. After you compare the
printed patches and find the one that matches most closely, you can select the corresponding
patch on-screen.
9 Select the desired target color in the Spot-On Color Search dialog box and click OK.

The edited color appears in the color list of the Spot-On main window.

Using a measurement instrument to target colors


If you have the Densitometer ED-100 or Spectrophotometer ES-1000, you can import
measured color values directly into Spot-On. This feature allows you to target matches based
on the actual colors of immediate objects, such as the red of a printed logo or the yellow of a
packaging envelope.
For best results, download and save any measurement data you have gathered with the
ED-100 in its offline state. Spot-On automatically clears stored data when it establishes a
connection with the instrument. For information about downloading stored data from the
ED-100, see the documentation that accompanies the instrument.
TO IMPORT COLOR MEASUREMENTS

INTO SPOT- ON

1 Install and set up the ED-100 or ES-1000 for use with your computer.

For installation and setup instructions, see the documentation that accompanies the
instrument.
2 Choose Start from the Instrument menu.

The Choose Port dialog box appears.


3 For Instrument, choose the instrument that you will use to take measurements. For Port,
choose the serial port connection of the instrument. Click OK.

For the ED-100, the indicator light on the instrument flashes for a few moments as the
connection to Spot-On is established. When the flashing stops, the instrument is ready to
read measurements.

4 Place the ED-100 or ES-1000 over the target color, making sure to center the sample aperture
over the color. Press Measure to take the measurement.

The measured CMYK values are imported into Spot-On as follows:


If an individual color is selected in the color list, it updates to the measured color.
If a group is selected in the color list, a new color with the measured values is created
within the group.
If the Spot-On Color Search dialog box is open, the center patch updates with the
measured values, and the neighbor patches update accordingly.
If the Set Center Patch Color dialog box is open, the measured values are imported into
the CMYK entry fields.
5 After you finish taking color measurements, choose Stop from the Instrument menu.

Spot-On closes the connection to the instrument.

Principles for Substitute Colors


In setting the values for Substitute Colors, keep in mind the following principles.
Tolerance range
The accuracy of the substitute color is affected by various elements, such as applications,
operating systems, printer drivers, and distilling processes. To accommodate the errors that
occur because of the rounding rules between the numbers entered by users and the numbers
received by the E-5000/E-3000, the options of the small and large tolerance ranges are
provided for color substitution.
The following table provides Small and Large substitution tolerance ranges for each
color mode.

N OTE : Values for tolerance ranges are approximate.


CMYK (0-100%)

Small: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/- 0.25% of
the color value entered.
Large: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/- 0.5% of the
color value entered.
RGB (Device Code 0-255)

Small: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/- 0.25 of the
color value entered.
Large: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/- 1 of the
color value entered.
RGB (0-100%)

Small: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/-0.25% of the
color value after scaling.
Large: A substitute color replaces any color that falls within the nearest +/-0.5% of the
color value after scaling.

SPOT-ON

Color substitution
A color substitution takes place when a substitute color is defined with a different set of
CMYK values for the same value-name as the original color.
The following color examples show how a substitution works.
Original color: <100, 0, 0, 0> for the CMYK values (cyan)
Substitute 1: <0, 100, 100, 0> (red)
Substitute 2: <100, 0, 100, 0> (green)
N OTE : In the examples, the extreme values and terms red and green are used for illustrative

purposes only. In practice, color substitution is not used for extreme color shifts.
The following table shows color substitution with different sets of CMYK values assigned to
the same original color.

Priority scheme
If two substitute colors are defined with the same value-names, but with different sets of
CMYK values and different tolerance ranges, Spot-On resolves the priority of substitution
according to the order of color in the group.
Spot-On process color substitution is based on the order of color in the group. The color
entries at the top of the list have priority over the colors at the bottom of the list. Spot-On
scans the list from top to bottom and processes substitution in linear order. When a color is
remapped, it is not overridden by any subsequent substitution call.
The following color examples show how the priority scheme works.
Original color: <100, 0, 0, 0> for the CMYK values (cyan)
Substitute 3: <0, 100, 100, 0> (red) with a small tolerance
Substitute 4: <100, 0, 100, 0> (green) with a large tolerance
N OTE : In the examples, the extreme values and terms red and green are used for illustrative

purposes only.
Order of the colors

Case 1: Substitute 3 (red) is higher than Substitute 4 (green) in the list.


Case 2: Substitute 4 (green) is higher than Substitute 3 (red) in the list.

<0, 100, 100, 0>

cyan

green

Substitute 3 and Substitute 4 have the same value-names, but depending on their order in the
list, Spot-On produces different results.
In Case 1, Substitute 3, red, is given higher priority because it is higher in the list. All
occurrences of the original color, cyan, within the Small tolerance range are substituted
with red. Occurrences of cyan within the Large tolerance range but not within the Small
tolerance range are substituted with Substitute 4, green.
In Case 2, Substitute 4, green, is given higher priority because it is higher in the list.
Substitute 3, red, can only substitute for occurrences of the original color, cyan, within the
Small tolerance range, and those occurrences have already been substituted with green.
Therefore, no substitution with red takes place.

Uploading and downloading a substitute color group


Like named color groups, you can upload or download a substitute color group as an ICC
profile. The substitute color definitions are saved with private tags as part of an ICC profile,
allowing you to export the Substitution Group definitions between multiple print servers.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

Managing color on the E-5000/E-3000


To modify E-5000/E-3000 printing behavior, do any of the following:
Specify ColorWise options for an individual print job using the menus that appear in the
printer driver.
Specify most ColorWise options as server defaults from Color Setup in ColorWise Pro
Tools (see page 33). You can also set default values from E-5000/E-3000 Setup, as
described in Configuration and Setup. The defaults apply to all subsequent print jobs unless
you override them.
Specify ColorWise options, particularly default ICC profile settings and calibration
options, from ColorWise Pro Tools. These options include default Simulation Profile (see
page 88), Simulation Method (see page 89), default Source Profile (see page 93), RGB
Separation (see page 93), and associated calibration set (see page 37).
Applications allow you to generate color data for the E-5000/E-3000 in many different color
spaces. The most common type of color data produced from office applications is RGB,
while prepress applications generally produce CMYK data. Desktop applications also generate
spot colors, such as PANTONE colors. To complicate matters, a single page may contain a
mix of RGB, CMYK, and spot colors. The E-5000/E-3000 allows you to control the printing
of mixed-color documents with features that apply specifically to RGB, CMYK, or spot color
data.
The following diagram illustrates the print options in the E-5000/E-3000 color management
process that affect color data conversions. You can access these print options when you send a
print job to the E-5000/E-3000. Most of these options and settings are described in
subsequent sections of this chapter.

RGB Source Profile is the only color option that applies strictly to RGB color data. The other
options that affect RGB color also affect the more rarely used Lab, XYZ, and other calibrated
color spaces.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

86

N OTE : With PostScript 3 color, RGB Source Profile affects all CIEBasedABC color spaces

(if the source space is RGB). For example, if you send CMYK data to the E-5000/E-3000 in
CIEBasedDEFG format by choosing PostScript Color Management in Photoshop, the setting
for the Rendering Style print option, which normally affects only RGB data, also affects this
CMYK data.

ColorWise print options


The following sections provide detailed explanations of the ColorWise print options and how
these options affect print jobs.

Auto Trapping
Trapping is a technique where the size of objects is modified so that colors printed next to
each other overlap slightly, to prevent white spaces between two colors. These white spaces,
or hollows, can be caused by factors such as misregistration, the physical properties of the
toners, and the stiffness of the media. The following illustration shows the same image with
and without trapping.

If you enable the Auto Trapping option, trapping is applied to the objects in a job.

Black Overprint
The Black Overprint option allows you to specify whether or not black text, defined as
RGB=0, 0, 0, or as CMYK=0%, 0%, 0%, 100%, overprints colored backgrounds.
Text: Black text overprints colored backgrounds, eliminating white gaps and reducing the
halo effect or misregistration of colors. Choosing this setting automatically sets the Black
Text/Graphics option to Pure Black On.
Text & Graphics: Black text and graphics overprint colored backgrounds, eliminating
white gaps and reducing halo effects or misregistration of colors. Choosing this setting
automatically sets the Black Text/Graphics option to Pure Black On.
Off: Black text or text/graphics knocks out colored backgrounds.
N OTE : Before sending the print job to the copier, PostScript applications may perform their

own black overprint conversions.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

87

One example of how you might use this setting is a page that contains black text on a light
blue background. The background blue is CMYK=40%, 30%, 0%, 0%. The black text is
CMYK=0%, 0%, 0%, 100%.
With Black Overprint set to Text or Text & Graphics, the final text or text/graphic
portions of the page are overprinted, or combined with the underlying color. Black colors
generated by applications (for example, RGB=0, 0, 0 or CMYK=0%, 0%, 0%, 100%) are
printed using the black toner. This means that black text and line art does not exhibit
halftone artifacts (as long as the copier is calibrated correctly). No transition in cyan and
magenta toners occurs. The quality of the output is improved, because it does not show
artifacts near the edges of the text defined in the RGB color space (RGB=0, 0, 0).
With Black Overprint Off, the border of the text or text/graphics is on an edge that has
cyan and magenta toners on one side (outside the text) and black toner on the other side
(inside the text). This transition may cause visible artifacts due to the practical limitations
of the copier.
N OTE : Setting Black Overprint to Text/Graphics allows black text or graphics to overprint

color backgrounds (see CMYK Simulation Method on page 89).


N OTE : The reproduction of CMYK components is affected by the CMYK Simulation setting

and calibration curve when CMYK is not 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%.

Black Text/Graphics
The Black Text/Graphics option affects black text and vector graphics. Under most
circumstances, set this option to Pure Black On. When Black Text/Graphics is set to Pure
Black On, black colors generated by applications (for example, RGB=0, 0, 0 or CMYK=0%,
0%, 0%, 100%) are printed using black toner only. The black text and line art do not exhibit
halftone artifacts (as long as the copier is calibrated correctly) and are not misregistered, since
one toner is used. In addition, this setting eliminates blasting. This option is automatically set
to Pure Black On when the Black Overprint option is selected.
For some jobs, it is preferable to clear this option, for example, if the page includes gradient
fills that use black. The following table describes the behavior of the Black Text/Graphics
option with black data defined in different color spaces.
N OTE : Use the Black Text/Graphics option only when printing composites, not when printing

separations.

RGB=0,0,0 is printed according to the definition


for RGB=0,0,0 in the output profile. This may
be a rich black using all toners if the output
profile specifies a rich black, or may be K-only
if the output profile specifies K-only for
RGB=0,0,0. The output is affected by the
calibration curve.

RGB=0,0,0 is printed as K-only, using the black


toner (Pure Black On) or 100% K plus 50%
Cyan (Rich Black On) using black and cyan
toners. All other RGB values are unaffected by
the Black Text/Graphics setting.

CMYK=0%,0%,0%,100% may be printed as


K-only or as a rich black using all toners,
depending on the CMYK Simulation Profile
and CMYK Simulation Method settings.

CMYK=0%,0%,0%,100% is printed as K-only,


using the black toner (Pure Black On) or 100%
K plus 50% Cyan (Rich Black On) using black
and cyan toners, regardless of the CMYK
Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation
Method settings. All other CMYK values are
unaffected by the Black Text/Graphics setting.

For Quick and Full (Source GCR),


CMYK=0%,0%,0%,100% prints as K-only
and the amount of black toner is limited by
the simulation profile and the calibration curve.
For Full (Output GCR),
CMYK=0%,0%,0%,100% prints as K-only

N OTE : PostScript applications, such as QuarkXPress, may convert elements defined as

RGB=0, 0, 0 to four-color CMYK black before sending the job to the E-5000/E-3000.
These elements are not affected by the Black Text/Graphics option. For more information,
see Fiery Color Reference. Also, black text and line art defined as RGB=0, 0, 0 in office
applications, such as Microsoft Word, are converted to single-color black (CMYK=0%, 0%,
0%, 100%) by the Microsoft PostScript 3 printer driver for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003.
To print this single-color black at the maximum toner density of the copier, set Black Text/
Graphics to Pure Black On.

CMYK Simulation Profile


The CMYK Simulation Profile print option allows you to print press proofs or simulations.
This setting specifies the offset press standard or other color printing device that you want to
simulate. This option affects CMYK data only.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

89

With Windows printer drivers, you can also view an unlimited number of custom Full
simulations created using ColorWise Pro Tools. On Mac OS computers, you can view up to
10 Full custom simulations. The number of custom simulations is limited by the available
disk space on the E-5000/E-3000.
If you are printing with the PostScript driver and have Two-Way Communication enabled,
the name of each downloaded or custom profile appears in the CMYK Simulation Profile
menu. If Two-Way Communication is not enabled, downloaded or custom profiles appear
as Simulation-1 through Simulation-10. For more information about Two-Way
Communication, see Printing from Windows or Printing from Mac OS.
The None setting sends your original CMYK data to the copier in its calibrated state, without
conversions to simulate another printer. The ColorWise Off setting sends your original
CMYK data to the copier in an uncalibrated state, without conversions to simulate another
printer.
The CMYK Simulation Profile setting you specify depends on the press standard for which
the CMYK data was separated.
For images that were separated using a custom separation (such as a separation produced
with an ICC profile), choose the corresponding profile on the E-5000/E-3000 with the
CMYK Simulation Profile setting.
For images that were separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as the CMYK Simulation Profile
setting.
To properly simulate a printed image that was separated using an ICC profile, the same profile
must be present on the E-5000/E-3000. For more information about downloading ICC
profiles to the E-5000/E-3000, see page 12.

CMYK Simulation Method


The CMYK Simulation Method allows you to define your preferred CMYK-to-CMYK
conversion technique.
Quick applies one-dimensional transfer curves to adjust output densities in the cyan,
magenta, yellow, and black channels. This technique leads to eye-pleasing color output
from your copier because pure primary colors are not contaminated by other colorants.
While it is the fastest simulation method and perfect for drafts, avoid using it for final
documents that are used as press proofs. Other techniques offer the color simulation
accuracy required by proofing applications.
Full (Source GCR) provides a complete and accurate simulation based on colorimetric
transformations. Hues are preserved, even for primary colors. The Gray Component
Replacement (GCR) level that was specified in the original (source) document is also
preserved for K-only text and graphics. Processed black expressed in CMY is reproduced
using CMY toner. Full (Source GCR) is recommended for the highest quality press
proofing applications.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

90

Full (Output GCR) is a complete and accurate simulation method based on colorimetric
transformations. Hues are preserved, even for primary colors. With this method, the Gray
Component Replacement (GCR) level that was specified in the original document is not
preserved. Instead, all CMYK data is reseparated using the GCR level specified by the
output profile. This simulation technique is similar to traditional ICC color matching
methods and is more appropriate than Full (Source GCR) for full color printing designed
for the press, but reproduced on your copier.
N OTE : When you specify Pure Black On for Black Text/Graphics and Full (Output GCR) for

CMYK Simulation Method, the black text and graphics in your document are printed with
100% black-only toner.

Combine Separations
The Combine Separations setting specifies how to print separated CMYK data.
Off prints each separation individually.
On combines separations as a single, composite-color document, and automatically makes
the settings for the following print options: Color Mode (CMYK), Black Text/Graphics
(Normal), or Spot Color Matching (On).
For information about using the Combine Separations option with applications such as
Photoshop, see Fiery Color Reference.

Composite Overprint
When overlapping objects are printed, the foreground object can either overprint or knock
out the background object. With overprinting, the color of the background object shows
through the foreground object where they overlap, and the resulting color is a combination of
the colors of the two objects. With a knock-out, the foreground object hides the background
object where they overlap.
The Composite Overprint print option allows you to print overprinted objects as specified in
the source file. By default, the Composite Overprint print option is off and overlapping
objects print as knockouts.
The Composite Overprint print option is supported for PostScript and PDF jobs produced
by the following applications:
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe InDesign
Macromedia FreeHand
QuarkXPress
CorelDRAW

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

91

If Composite Overprint is enabled for a job that contains spot colors, Spot-On must be
enabled on the E-5000/E-3000.
A job with more than 32 spot colors may not print as expected.

Output Profile
Because the output profile is applied to all data in the print job, make sure that the profile you
select is the right one for your job. The default output profile consists of a profile for your
copier that describes its color characteristics and a calibration target that describes the
expected behavior of the copier.
Use the ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager to download your own output profile to the
E-5000/E-3000 (see Using Profile Manager on page 27). Downloaded output profiles are at
first associated with the calibration target that is tied to the default output profile. You can
edit calibration target D-Max values separately.
If you are printing with the PostScript driver and have enabled Two-Way Communication,
the name of each downloaded or custom profile appears in the Output Profile menu. If TwoWay Communication is not enabled, downloaded or custom profiles appear as Output-1
through Output-10. For more information about Two-Way Communication, see Printing
from Windows or Printing from Mac OS.
Select the Use Media Defined Profile setting to automatically apply the output profile
associated with the media type used in a print job rather than setting a specific output profile.
For more information, see Using media-defined output profiles on page 28.
Select the Use Servers Default setting to use the default Output Profile set in Color Setup. For
more information about Color Setup, see Using Color Setup on page 33.

Print Gray using Black Only


When Print Gray using Black Only is selected, any gray (any color where R=G=B or C=Y=M,
or any K-only color) in a job is printed using only black toner instead of processed black.
You can choose to apply the Print Gray using Black Only option to either Text and Graphics
or to Text, Graphics, and Images.
The following limitations apply:
The Print Gray using Black Only option has no effect on a job that is pre-separated, except
that if Print Gray using Black Only (CMYK) is off, each separation, which is a grayscale
image, is printed in a 4-color gray.
If CMYK Simulation Method is set to Full (Source GCR) or Quick, the Print Gray using
Black Only (CMYK) setting does not affect the output.

92

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

If RGB Separation is set to Simulation, the Print Gray using Black Only (RGB) option is
disabled. Likewise, if the Print Gray using Black Only (RGB) option is enabled, you
cannot set RGB Separation to Simulation.
If Black Text/Graphics is set to Pure Black On or Rich Black On, it takes precedence over
Print Gray using Black Only for 100% black text and graphics.
If a gray is specified as a spot color, the Print Gray using Black Only option does not affect
that gray.

Rendering Styles
The Rendering Style option specifies a CRD for color conversions. To control the appearance
of images, such as prints from office applications or RGB photographs from Photoshop, select
the appropriate rendering style. The E-5000/E-3000 allows you to choose from the four
rendering styles currently found in industry standard ICC profiles.

RGB Separation
The RGB Separation option determines how RGB colors (as well as Lab and XYZ colors) are
converted to CMYK. The name of this option is meant to be descriptive, because the option
defines the color spaces that are used by the E-5000/E-3000 to separate the RGB data into
CMYK values.
The two choices available for this option determine whether RGB data is converted into the
full gamut of the copier (output) or is first converted into the gamut of another digital printer
or press standard (simulation). This feature helps make one device behave like another for
RGB data. For example, if a high-quality ICC profile is available for another print device, the
copier can simulate the behavior of that device.
RGB Separation is also useful for prepress applications. For example, it allows you to
experiment with the appearance of an RGB scan under different press printing conditions,
without having to convert the RGB data to CMYK data for each condition. When the desired
printing condition is found, convert the file to CMYK, using the same CMYK simulation
profile that you used during the experimentation.
N OTE : Use the RGB Separation print option in conjunction with the Output Profile or

CMYK Simulation Profile print options.


Output converts all RGB colors into the CMYK color space of your copier (when set to the
printers default), or a customized CMYK color space for your copier (when set to
Output 1-10).
Simulation converts all RGB colors into the CMYK color space for a specified simulation
(select the desired simulation with the CMYK Simulation Profile print option).

RGB Source Profile


The RGB source profile setting allows you to define the characteristics of the RGB data in
your document so that the appropriate color conversion occurs on the E-5000/E-3000.
Commonly used monitor color spaces are available from the printer driver and the E-5000/
E-3000. For others, use ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager to download custom monitor
or scanner profiles.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile, the E-5000/E-3000
overrides source color space definitions or profiles that other color management systems may
have specified. For example, if you specified a ColorSync System Profile on your Mac OS
computer, the RGB Source Profile setting overrides it. In cases where you do not want this
setting to override another specified source color space, choose None.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

94

When you specify a setting other than None, because the color space definitions are
overridden, the output from the E-5000/E-3000 is consistent across platforms. The E-5000/
E-3000 RGB Source Profile options are as follows:
EFIRGB specifies an EFI-defined color space recommended for users who have no detailed
information about their RGB data.
sRGB (PC) specifies the definition of a Windows computer monitor profile used as
the default.
Apple Standard specifies the definition of a Mac OS computer monitor profile used as
the default.
Adobe RGB (1998) is an Adobe-defined color space, used in pre-press as the default
working space in Photoshop 5.
ECI-RGB is the European Color Initiative (ECI) recommended space for use as an RGB
working color space and color data exchange format for ad agencies, publishers,
reproduction and printing houses.
Fiery RGB is an EFI-defined color space recommended for users of office applications.
This color space is similar to EFIRGB but is larger and can provide a more desirable
blue output.
Sources 1-10 specify the definitions you download as RGB source profiles.
If you are printing with the PostScript driver and have enabled Two-Way Communication,
the name of each downloaded profile appears in the RGB Source Profile setting menu.
If Two-Way Communication is not enabled, downloaded profiles appear as Source-1
through Source-10. For more information about Two-Way Communication, see Printing
from Windows or Printing from Mac OS.
None instructs the E-5000/E-3000 to allow the RGB sources you defined elsewhere, such
as in the application, to be used. When you set RGB Source to None, the appearance of
colors is not independent of the file type. For example, RGB EPS files looks different from
RGB TIFF files.
With RGB Source set to None, PostScript RGB data that contains a source color space
definition is converted using the CRD specified by the Rendering Style option (see
Rendering Styles on page 92). Non-PostScript RGB data and PostScript RGB data that
does not contain a source color space definition are converted using a general undercolor
removal (UCR) conversion method.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

Spot Color Matching


The Spot Color Matching option provides automatic matching of spot colors with their best
CMYK equivalents.
On: The E-5000/E-3000 uses a built-in table to generate the closest CMYK matches of
spot colors your copier can produce. (New tables are generated when you add new output
profiles.)
With Spot-On, the E-5000/E-3000 uses the CMYK matches determined through
Spot-On (see page 60).
Off: The E-5000/E-3000 processes the spot color as CMYK data and uses CMYK
equivalents defined by the spot color manufacturer, such as PANTONE. These are the
same CMYK equivalents used by applications that include spot color libraries.
N OTE : Spot colors that are not included in the built-in table are treated as CMYK.

For jobs that include spot colors, set Spot Color Matching to On unless you are printing press
simulations. In that case, set Spot Color Matching to Off and choose the appropriate CMYK
Simulation setting (see page 88).
For a PDF job that includes spot colors that are not included in the built-in table, setting
Spot Color Matching to On retains the original spot colors. The E-5000/E-3000 references
the built-in table to generate the closest CMYK matches of the original spot color.
N OTE : Use Spot Color Matching only when printing composites, not when printing

separations.
Spot Color Matching and the PANTONE Coated Color Reference
The PANTONE Coated Color Reference prints differently depending on the Spot Color
Matching setting (see Fiery Color Reference).
On: The E-5000/E-3000 uses a built-in table or, with Spot-On, the Spot-On color
dictionaries to generate the best matches for the PANTONE colors that your copier can
produce. The PANTONE number is displayed below each swatch.
For more information about Spot-On, see page 60.
Off: The E-5000/E-3000 prints swatches using the CMYK values recommended by
Pantone, Inc. (and used by applications that provide PANTONE color libraries). The
CMYK values used to generate the color, as well as the PANTONE number of the color,
are printed below each swatch. These CMYK values are printed through the selected
CMYK Simulation and Output Profile settings.

COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS

96

Substitute Colors
Spot-On allows you to create a list of substitute colors. These are colors that, when called for
in a document by their RGB or CMYK values, are substituted with a different color having
the CMYK values from the Spot-On color dictionary. This permits exact color control and
overrides individual RGB and CMYK colors.
To enable substitute colors for a job, select the Substitute Colors option.
For more information about creating and using substitute colors, see Spot-On with
Substitute Colors on page 74.

Printer drivers and print options


The printer driver writes a PostScript file containing the instructions generated by your
application and the settings for the ColorWise print options you selected. The printer driver
then sends the PostScript file to the E-5000/E-3000. The E-5000/E-3000 performs PostScript
processing and color conversions and sends raster color data to the copier.

IMPORTING DENSITY MEASUREMENTS

102

IMPORTING DENSITY MEASUREMENTS


This chapter describes Simple ASCII File Format (SAIFF), which you can use to import
density measurements from measurement devices. To use your own measurement data from
an alternate measurement instrument, record your individual readings in a text file, and then
structure the file as follows.

Simple ASCII Import File Format


This format describes Status T measurement data for import into the ColorWise Pro Tools
Calibrator. The three possible file formats are:
1D Status T density for EFI 21 patch page
1D Status T density for EFI 34 patch page
1D Status T density for other pages (maximum of 256 patches per ink)
The file format is ASCII and has no tabs. A single space or multiple spaces are used
as delimiters. Blank lines are not allowed. Each line in the file represents four patches
(C, M, Y, K) of a specific ink value. Comments may be on any line in the file. Comment lines
must start with a pound sign (#) followed by a space. (A line with a pound sign followed by
any character other than a space has been reserved.) Comments must be on a line by
themselves.
Each line of data contains five values. The first number is the sequential patch number (for
EFI 21 and EFI 34 pages) or the ink value percentage (for other pages). The four values that
follow are the density values of C, M, Y, and K of the corresponding patch. Lines are ordered
either by increasing sequential patch numbers, or by increasing the ink percentage.
For Windows computers, the file extension must be .cm1. For Mac OS computers, the file
type must be TEXT.
Measurement data in EFI 21 and EFI 34 are paper-relative. For other pages, if the first line
corresponds to zero ink value, the Calibrator assumes that the measurement data is absolute
and adjusts it to become paper-relative by subtracting the density values of the first line from
the remaining patches.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
This manual provides a reference for information about optimizing color printing with the
Color Server and improving color quality and performance for all Color Server models.
Specific features and options may vary, depending on the Color Server model at your site.
N OTE : The term printer is used throughout this manual to denote a supported printer or

copier; the term toner refers to either toner or ink.

About this manual


This manual provides an overview of general color concepts, with a specific focus on color
management for print output. It describes multiple scenarios (called workflows) during
which color information can be specified. It also provides application notes that explain how
to print to the Color Server from popular Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS
applications.
Color terms and concepts, such as color space, spot color, gamut, and source profile
appear in bold throughout this manual. If you are new to desktop color, or if any terms are
unfamiliar, see Glossary, which is a separate document in this set.

OVERVIEW OF COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

OVERVIEW

OF COLOR

MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

To create successful color documents and presentations, you can take advantage of the features
of color management software as they are implemented by the Color Server and on your
desktop computer. This chapter is devoted to various elements of color management that
contribute to predictable color results.

Understanding color management systems


A color management system (CMS) is a translator between the color space of the source
device (for example, the monitor or a scanner) and the color space of the destination device
(for example, the printer). It compares the color space in which the source image was created
to the color space in which the job will be output, and adjusts the colors in the document to
maintain consistency across different devices. A CMS typically uses a device-independent
color space, such as CIELAB, as its intermediate color space. To perform its translation, a
CMS needs information about the color space of the source image and the gamut of the
printer. This information is provided through profiles, often created by the makers of the
computer monitor or printer. The end product of a CMS conversion is a printed document
or an image file in the gamut of a particular printer.
There has been progress toward standardization in the field of digital color management
systems. Both the Windows and Mac OS operating systems support an industry standard
format developed by the International Color Consortium (ICC). This ICC format is
implemented on Windows computers and on Mac OS computers. Other software developers
are also incorporating color management systems into high-end applications.
The Color Server color management system, ColorWise, supports this standard profile
format.

OVERVIEW OF COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

How color management works


Before you can print a color document, the color data in it must be converted to the gamut of
the printer. Whether performed by the Color Server or a host-based CMS, the process of
converting color data for a printer is the same: the CMS interprets RGB image data according
to a specified source profile and adjusts both RGB and CMYK data according to a specified
output profile, also called a destination profile by some color management systems.

The source profile defines the RGB color space of the images source: characteristics such as
the white point, gamma, and the type of phosphors used. The output profile defines the
gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The Color Server (or the host-based CMS) uses
a device-independent color space to translate between the source color space and the color
space of the output device.
The Color Server allows you to specify default and override settings for the source color space
information and the output profile information (see Color Printing). When you use these
settings, there is no need to use the features of other color management systems. Your
Color Server software includes ICC profiles for use with other color management systems,
although conflicts may arise when the Color Server CMS is used in conjunction with a host
CMS.
You can also use color management systems to adjust color data to the gamut of an output
device other than the one to which you are printing. This process of simulating another
output device is commonly used for proofing jobs that are printed on an offset press. For
more information about the Color Server simulation feature, see Color Printing.
The type of print job and the final output device, Color Server or offset press, determines the
workflow that provides the best results. For information about choosing workflows, see
Using Color Management Workflows on page 13.

OVERVIEW OF COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

11

Using ColorWise and application color management


The Color Server color management system, ColorWise is designed to provide both casual
and expert users the best color output for a variety of purposes. Several applications also
provide their own color management system. This manual describes how to optimize print
output using both ColorWise color management and application color management.
The Color Server can intelligently manage the printed appearance of RGB, CMYK, and spot
colors. You can allow the Color Server to manage color for most color printing jobs without
adjusting any settings.
A desktop (host-based) color management system uses ICC profiles to convert colors from
one device gamut to another (see Desktop Color Primer on page 73). The color data is
converted when it passes from one application to another or when the job is sent to the
printer; thus, the processing occurs on your computer, as opposed to the Color Server.
Conventional color management systems typically address only color conversions, and they
occupy your computer processor. When you use ColorWise, jobs leave your computer and are
processed faster on the Color Server.
The advantages to ColorWise color management versus desktop (application) color
management include the following:
Relieving your computer from performing additional processing. Delaying color
conversions until the color data reaches the Color Server frees your computer so that you
can continue working, and color conversions on the Color Server are, in most cases, much
faster than similar conversions on a host computer.
Eliminating the potential for undesirable color management-related conflicts, such as
iterative color conversions and inconsistent color. The Color Server applies global
corrections to specific groups of RGB, CMYK, and spot colors to avoid such conflicts.
Accepting RGB files in addition to larger CMYK files from applications, which minimizes
network traffic and enables jobs to print faster.
ColorWise uses ICC profiles to convert colors to the device gamut or simulate other devices,
such as an offset printing press. ColorWise manages color conversions for all users printing to
the Color Server from Windows and Mac OS computers. It allows users to follow a simple
workflow with minimal intervention using robust default settings, while giving advanced
users the control and precision they need.

OVERVIEW OF COLOR MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS

12

Using ColorWise color management tools


Your Color Server user software includes several types of color reference pages that allow you
to see the range of colors that can be printed on your printer. For predictable color, use the
color reference pages when defining the colors in your document.
The resources available are as follows:
RGB Color Reference: A Microsoft Word file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file that allow you

to view the colors available in the standard palettes of office applications and to see how those
colors print on the Color Server (see Using color matching tools with office applications on
page 21).
CMYK Color Reference: An 11-page downloadable PostScript file of CMYK color patches (see

Using the CMYK Color Reference on page 25).


Process Simulation of PANTONE Solid Coated Colors: A 19-page downloadable PostScript
file of color patches showing CMYK equivalents of PANTONE Coated colors. This file prints
differently depending on the setting of the Spot Color Matching option (see Using the
PANTONE reference on page 26).

In addition, you can print RGB, CMY, and PANTONE color charts from the Color Server.

USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS

USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS


A workflow is the path a print job follows from creation to destination. In the workflow of
any job, there are various points at which decisions are made about how to define, use, and
translate color. The choices made, and the point at which they are made, impact the color
output produced.
This chapter introduces issues with color management in specific desktop applications and
discusses the interaction between those applications and ColorWise color management.

Understanding workflows
The term workflow is used to describe the path a job follows from its creation in a desktop
application to final printed output. The Color Server supports a variety of workflows with
different levels of complexity. There are several points at which color management can be
performed on a job (see the illustration on page 14). The information provided at each step
(for example, the type of color used) impacts the workflow of the job.
Always consider the complexity of the workflow. Every time colors are converted,
performance and color accuracy are affected. A workflow with a minimum number of steps
minimizes the risk of error.

Standard recommended workflow


The Color Server is highly optimized for the specific printer it supports. ColorWise addresses
issues unique to your printer, including screens, individual toner response, interactions
among toners, natural smoothness of blends, and the capability to render spot and custom
colors. The Color Server distinguishes text and graphics from image elements, so that black
channel information is preserved while parameters used for CMYK color separations are
maintained.
The recommended standard color workflow uses ColorWise calibration and color
management. The Color Server comes into play near the end of the color workflow.
For this workflow:
Bypass any color management in the applications and printer drivers.
This ensures that the colors you selected reach the Color Server and ColorWise in a
usable form. Consider, however, that ColorWise fully supports color management from
applications and printer drivers (see Using ColorWise and application color
management on page 11).
Set the CMYK Simulation Profile option in ColorWise to match the CMYK color space
used in the application to select the colors. Any CMYK Simulation setting (except Match
Copy, if available) applies calibration, so the response of the printer appears stable.
The recommended values for CMYK Simulation are SWOP in the U.S., Euroscale in
Europe, and DIC in Japanchoices that reflect the color standard for each region.
If colors have been selected specifically for your calibrated Color Server, set CMYK
Simulation to None.
Set other ColorWise print options as appropriate. For a list and descriptions of ColorWise
print options that affect CMYK, RGB, spot, and other colors, see Color Printing.

USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS

16

Choosing colors
When working with color materials, whether they are presentations, illustrations,
or complicated page designs, you make aesthetic decisions about the colors you use. After you
set a goal, you must make the best use of the capabilities of your Color Server to realize your
design in print. Your color printing system becomes an ally in this creative process to the
extent that results are predictable:
If you designed a poster to print on the Color Server, you want the printed colors to match
the design specification.
If you are printing presentations on the Color Server, you want to preserve the vivid colors
you see on your monitor.
If you are working with color that is to be printed on an offset press, you want
the Color Server output to match other prepress proofs or PANTONE color swatch
books.
The colors that you define when creating a file in an application, and the color management
tools within the application that you use, impact how the file is processed (workflow) and the
final output you can expect.
Use color management to control color output by performing the following tasks:
Select a color model: Different types of applications use different color models. The color
model you select, and whether or when data is converted from one color model to another,
influences the final color output.
Optimize for output type: The type of final output influences your color and application
choices.
Use color matching tools: The Color Server provides several tools to preview colors
available on a device and define them within an application.

USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS

17

Understanding color models


You can define colors in several different color models, most commonly RGB, CMYK, and
the spot color matching system (such as PANTONE). Depending on the application you use,
you may or may not have a choice of the color model.
RGB colors are used when you take output from an RGB device such as a digital camera or a
scanner. Another use of the RGB color model is for displaying colors on a monitor.
CMYK colors are what most printers use.
Spot colors, such as PANTONE, are special inks manufactured to run on an offset printing
press. Spot colors can be simulated using CMYK toners (also known as process color inks).
With the Spot Color Matching print option, you can determine how spot colors are printed
at the Color Server:
Spot Color Matching On uses color tables built in the Color Server to simulate the spot
color with the closest equivalent available using the CMYK toners of the copier/printer
connected to the Color Server.
Spot Color Matching Off instructs the Color Server to simulate the spot color using CMYK
equivalents defined by the spot color manufacturer. These are the same CMYK values used
by applications that include spot color libraries. This CMYK combination is then printed
with the CMYK Simulation setting you choose, such as SWOP or DIC.
The color model used by your application determines the methods available for choosing
colors, as well as the way color data is transmitted to the Color Server:
Office applications, such as presentation software, spreadsheets, and word processing
programs, use the RGB color model. They typically transmit only RGB data to the
Color Server.
Illustration applications use both the RGB and CMYK color models, but typically
transmit only CMYK data to the Color Server.
Pixel-editing applications use both the RGB and CMYK color models. They can transmit
either RGB or CMYK data to the Color Server.

USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS

18

Optimizing for output type


You can use the Color Server for on-demand color printing and for color proofing.
On-demand color printing refers to those jobs for which the Color Server is the final print
device. Printing jobs to the Color Server in preparation for printing on an offset press is
referred to as color proofing. Both types of Color Server print jobs can use RGB, CMYK, and
spot colors.
Characteristics of on-demand jobs

Characteristics of offset proofs

Bright, saturated colors are often desirable.

Require the printed colors to match


those from another set of CMYK
printing conditions.

Colors are achieved using the full range


of colors available, referred to as the full
gamut of the printer or, more simply, device
CMYK.

Colors that are specified for an offset press


require CMYK simulation that is optimized
for proofing on the printer.

N OTE : The term on-demand applies to producing printed output when it is needed. You

may be familiar with the term short-run, which usually applies to the volume of a printing
task. Although these terms do not mean exactly the same thing, on-demand in this manual
applies also to short-run printing scenarios. Because you can print as many pages as you need
and can reprint jobs quickly, the Color Server performs equally well in either environment.
The type of printing you plan for the document, on-demand color printing on the
Color Server versus color proofing for eventual printing on an offset press, determines the way
you define colors, as well as the print option settings you choose.
For on-demand color printing on the Color Server, use any application and define colors
in either RGB or CMYK. If your application supports it, you can also choose colors from
the PANTONE color library. Choose the appropriate settings for print options affecting
color output (for descriptions of the print options, see Color Printing).
For color proofing, use a PostScript-defined color in CMYK or choose colors from color
libraries, such as the PANTONE color library. Placed images can also be defined in RGB
or CMYK. Choose the appropriate settings for print options affecting color output (see
Color Printing).
N OTE : The Color Server allows you to use RGB or CMYK data when printing proofs for

an offset press run. However, sending data to an imagesetter usually requires CMYK data.

USING COLOR MANAGEMENT WORKFLOWS

19

Maintaining color accuracy


For the colors you see on your monitor to match those on your printed output, they must go
through color management, including precise calibration of your monitor and Color Server.
If viewing colors on the monitor is critical, consider using a professional profiling software
package and instrument, such as the EFI Color Profiler, to create a monitor profile. A monitor
profile enables the application to compensate for the color behavior of the monitor when
displaying images. As a result, colors previewed on the monitor match the colors more closely
in your printed output.
If you are not equipped or inclined to maintain accurate monitor color management, you can
opt for an easier approach. Determine which is more important to you: printed colors or
on-screen colors.
If displayed colors are more important, trust your eyes and your monitor. Visually select
colors on your monitor, but be aware that colors are optimized only for your monitor.
When the document is opened on other monitors, the colors may look different. And even
though printed colors may not match those on your monitor, they still print to the
Color Server with good results.
If printed colors are your priority, choose colors from printed samples. By using sample
colors, you ensure your printed output remains consistent, regardless of how the
colors appear on different monitors. Print the palette of available colors from business
applications and select colors from the printed samples. Color reference files are included
on the User Software CD. (For more information, seeUsing color matching tools with
office applications on page 21 and Using color matching tools with PostScript
applications on page 25.) You can also print color charts from the Color Server and select
colors by name or number from the printed samples. Advanced applications allow you to
define colors in the easier-to-control spot and CMYK color spaces. For more information
about color selection, see Choosing colors on page 16.

MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS

20

MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS


The ColorWise color management system provides complete color management for jobs
printed from office applications and other applications that do not generate PostScript. This
chapter provides instructions for printing color documents from Graphics Device Interface
(GDI) and QuickDraw applications, such as presentation, spreadsheet, and word processing
applications. Use these instructions with the Microsoft Office applications.

Using office applications


The Color Server must receive PostScript instructions to print an image or a document. Many
applications do not create these PostScript instructions, relying on the printer driver to create
them. Included in this category are most word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation
graphics applications. These applications use Windows GDI to display and print when
running Windows, and Apple QuickDraw to display and print when running Mac OS.
The term office applications is used in this manual to refer to these GDI and QuickDraw
applications.
All office applications handle color similarly, using the same RGB color model used for the
color monitor. Most office applications allow you to choose colors from a palette of
preselected colors. Some allow you to add new colors to the palette using a color picker.
Although some applications allow you to specify color using the CMY, HSL, and HSV color
models, these applications always send RGB color data to the Color Server.
(An exception to this is a CMYK EPS file placed in the document, which is sent as
CMYK data.)
When working with color in office applications, consider the following:
The range of colors that can be displayed in RGB on your monitor is much larger than the
range of colors that can be printed on your printer. When you print the document,
out-of-gamut RGB colors are mapped to the colors your printer can produce.
Office applications send only RGB data to the Color Server. You control the rendering
style of the color conversion with your selection of a CRD.
Each CRD uses a different color rendering style and has a different way of mapping
unprintable colors to the color gamut of your printer. For more information about color
rendering styles, see Color Printing.

Using color matching tools with office applications


Your Color Server user software includes two RGB color reference pages, a Microsoft Word
file and a Microsoft PowerPoint file. You can print these files using different CRDs to see how
the colors appear when printed to the Color Server. For best results, print the color reference
page using the same print options you plan to use for your final document. Select the colors
you want to use from the printed version of the RGB color reference page and use those colors
in your document.

Working with office applications


Before printing from these applications, make sure the appropriate printer driver and the
Color Server PPD are installed on your computer, as described in Printing from Windows or
Printing from Mac OS.

Defining colors
Office applications use the RGB color model. The only way to use CMYK or PANTONE
colors is to define them in EPS format files with an illustration or page layout application,
and then place these files in Microsoft Office documents. Colors in EPS files are preserved
until they reach the Color Server (assuming no PostScript Color Management information
was included).
Office applications use low resolution to display EPS files, but the EPS images are printed at
full resolution. In general, use EPS files only when RGB colors are impractical in your specific
workflow. EPS files are useful when using large or complex images that must be printed at full
resolution or exceed the memory allocation of some office applications.

Working with imported files


Your application may allow you to import a variety of file formats. If you encounter printing
problems when using other imported file formats, such as TIFF and PICT, EPS files are
recommended.
N OTE : If you cannot import EPS elements, it may be necessary to perform a custom install

of your office applications.


Even when there are no user-defined color management options within office applications,
color conversions do occur when you import images or page elements that were not defined in
RGB. To avoid such conversions with imported files, use the EPS file format for non-RGB
artwork that is to be imported into office applications.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the settings you choose for the RGB
Source and Rendering Style print options.
Mixing imported image types (Advanced color management)
If you place multiple RGB images, mixed non-photographic and photographic, into an office
application file, a single CRD may not optimize output for all the images. In this case,
you can have the photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this,
open the photographic image in CMYK mode with a pixel-editing application, such as
Photoshop, and perform color correction. Save the image as a Photoshop EPS and import it
into the document.

MANAGING COLOR IN OFFICE APPLICATIONS

23

Selecting options when printing


There are few differences among office applications with regard to Color Server printing. To
specify print options and color management settings, follow the instructions in Color Printing.
To specify these options, you must use a PostScript Level 2 (or later) printer driver, such as an
Adobe PostScript Printer Driver.
Because office applications send RGB data to the Color Server, your choice of RGB Source
and Rendering Style settings are important. Specify the appropriate CRD for the desired color
effect (see Color Printing).

Output profiles
All color data in the job is affected by the output profile on the Color Server. This profile may
be the one designed for your device and shipped with the Color Server, or it may be a custom
profile created at your site (see Color Printing). If necessary, print the Test Page to see which
profile is the active default on the Color Server.

Ensuring color accuracy when you save a file


Take the following steps to ensure color accuracy:
When saving EPS files, do not include PostScript Color Management information. This
minimizes the risk of conflicting data and multiple color conversions. PostScript Color
Management causes your CMYK and RGB colors to be interpreted by the Color Server as
though they were supplied in the Lab color space and, as a result, processed by CRDs,
rather than your simulation settings.
Include ICC color information in files. ColorWise does not conflict with this information,
and such data is useful for identifying the specific color space used by your files.
Do not include halftone and transfer functions.
Turn off color management in the printer driver.
On Windows computers, if the printer driver offers Image Color Matching options, select
Printer Image Color Matching.
On Mac OS computers, set the printer driver to include no color management commands
at print time (see Color Printing).

MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS

MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS


This chapter provides guidelines for using applications that have the ability to write their own
PostScript, such as some page layout, illustration, and pixel-editing applications. For
information about using specific applications, see Managing Color in Adobe Photoshop on
page 33, Managing Color in Page Layout Applications on page 44, or Managing Color in
Illustration Applications on page 59.

Working with PostScript applications


Most applications used for illustration, pixel editing, and page layout can create the
PostScript information they send to a PostScript printer or save in PostScript files. Illustrator,
Photoshop, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia FreeHand are all PostScript
applications.
PostScript applications work with color in many different ways. Most allow you to choose
process colors (by entering percentages for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), as well as
named colors from a spot color system, such as PANTONE. When you print composites,
these applications send process-color equivalents for named spot colors to the Color Server.
In some applications, you can also choose colors using the RGB, HSB, HSL, or other color
models.
Generally, PostScript applications send color information to the Color Server as CMYK data.
An exception to this is an RGB image placed in a document, which is sent directly to the
Color Server (unless you specify special color management settings in the application). In
addition, some PostScript applications that allow you to define colors in RGB or other color
models also send data to the Color Server in those color spaces.
Color controls in PostScript applications are typically designed for printing on an offset press,
and some adjustments are required for printing to the Color Server. Displayed versions of
colors you choose in these applications may not match Color Server output exactly, and
named colors may not print accurately on the Color Server, since these colors typically require
custom inks.

MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS

25

Using color matching tools with PostScript applications


With PostScript applications, you can work with colors created with any of the color models
supported by the application. All PostScript applications support CMYK. Some also support
RGB and other color models based on monitor display values. PostScript applications also
allow you to choose named colors using one or more color libraries, such as PANTONE (see
page 26).

Using swatch color matching tools


Your Color Server user software includes several color reference pages (see page 12). By
choosing colors from these reference pages, you ensure that you print the same color from
your device. For best results, calibrate the Color Server before printing the reference pages.
N OTE : We highly recommend that you use swatch color matching to ensure predictable color

printing results with the Color Server or match your Color Server output to colors produced
by other printers.
N OTE : Swatch color matching does not match monitor colors to printed colors. For this, you

must use a color management system and calibrate your monitor.

Using the CMYK Color Reference


Use the CMYK Color Reference included with your Color Server user software to see how
various cyan, magenta, yellow, and black combinations look when printed on your printer.

To print the CMYK Color Reference, download the file to the Color Server. The printed
pages display groups of color patches in graduated combinations of yellow, magenta, and
cyan, and smaller patches that include 25%, 50%, and 75% black. Refer to these pages to
pick colors and specify process color values in your application. For the location of the file on
the User Software CD, see Printing from Windows or Printing from Mac OS.

MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS

26

Using the PANTONE reference


Use this reference (Process Simulation of PANTONE Solid Coated Colors) included with
your Color Server user software to help ensure predictable results with colors chosen from the
PANTONE color library.
The information printed by this reference depends on the Spot Color Matching setting.
Spot Color Matching On prints swatches that simulate the spot color with the closest equivalent
available using the CMYK toners of the copier/printer connected to the Color Server. The
equivalent PANTONE color name/number is printed below each swatch.
Spot Color Matching Off prints swatches of the CMYK equivalents of PANTONE colors as

defined by PANTONE. (These are the same CMYK values defined in applications that
include PANTONE libraries.) The CMYK values used to produce the color, as well as
the PANTONE color name/number, are printed below each swatch.
To print the reference, download the file to the Color Server. For the location of the file on
the User Software CD, see Printing from Windows or Printing from Mac OS. If the default Spot
Color Matching setting on the Color Server is not the setting you want to use for printing the
PANTONE colors, download the file to the Hold queue, and then override the Spot Color
Matching setting using a job management utility, such as Command WorkStation.
For more information about using Command WorkStation, see the Command WorkStation
Help.

Page layout applications generally use the CMYK color model. Some
allow you to define colors with other color models and may be able
to send that data to the Color Server in those other color models.
Generally, however, CRDs (which affect only RGB data) do not
affect colors defined in page layout applications.
For predictable results with CMYK colors, use the CMYK Color
Reference when defining colors in page layout applications (see
Using color matching tools with PostScript applications on
page 25).

Illustration

All illustration applications use the CMYK color model. Although


you may be allowed to define colors using other color models, these
applications generally send only CMYK data to the Color Server.
For predictable results with CMYK colors, use the CMYK Color

If the application allows you to define colors in RGB, determine


whether it converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it to the
Color Server. If it does, this will determine which ColorWise print
options affect your job.
For example, if the application converts RGB black (defined in the
document as R0%, G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK black when it
sends the job to the Color Server, the option you select for the Pure
Black Text/Graphics print option has no effect when you print the
job.

Illustration

If you define colors in RGB and print directly from the application,
the application converts the RGB data to CMYK before sending it
to the Color Server. This conversion by the application determines
which ColorWise print options affect your job.
For example, if the application converts RGB black (defined in the
document as R0%, G0%, B0%) to four-color CMYK black when it

Working with imported images


You can import images into documents created in illustration applications (such as Illustrator)
and page layout applications (such as QuarkXPress). The recommended formats for images
imported into page layout documents are EPS (or EPSF) and TIFF. If you encounter a
problem using a TIFF format image, use the EPS file format. Support for importing other file
formats may be provided by individual applications.
All RGB images placed in a document are affected by the RGB Source and Rendering Style
settings. The ColorWise color management system applies the specified RGB Source setting
to all RGB data and then uses the specified Rendering Style (CRD) to perform a color
conversion. An exception to this occurs if you assign ICC profiles to RGB images using the
applications color management tools (see the following section). In this case, the application
performs the color conversion of the image and sends CMYK data to the Color Server.
N OTE : To take advantage of RGB Source and Rendering Style settings for images imported

into QuarkXPress, save images in the EPS format or use the Quark PrintRGB XTension,
which outputs RGB TIFF image files without converting them to CMYK.
Mixing image types (Advanced color management)
If you place multiple RGB images, mixed non-photographic and photographic, into a file,
a single CRD may not optimize output for all the images. In this case, you can have the
photographic images to bypass the CRD altogether. To accomplish this, separate the image
to CMYK data with a pixel-editing application, such as Photoshop, and perform color
correction. Save the file as EPS or TIFF format and import it into the document.
If your application supports this feature, you can save the RGB image in TIFF format and
assign it an ICC profile and rendering intent when you import it into the document.

MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS

30

Using CMYK simulations


You can specify a CMYK Simulation profile and a CMYK simulation method for a job
using the CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method print options (see Color
Printing). The CMYK Simulation setting affects all CMYK color data sent by the page layout
or illustration application. It can also affect RGB data sent to a page layout application if RGB
Separation is set to Simulation.
If the document contains CMYK graphics that were separated for an offset press standard,
apply the corresponding CMYK Simulation setting. For example, for graphics separated
for SWOP, choose SWOP as the CMYK Simulation setting.
If you print separations to the Color Server and choose to use the Combine Separations
feature in conjunction with Full Simulation, the result may not match that of the same
page printed as composite.
If the document contains CMYK graphics that were separated according to the color
characteristics of a custom ICC profile (not a press standard profile), specify the
corresponding profile as the CMYK Simulation Profile setting on the Color Server.
For more information on downloading CMYK Simulation profiles to the Color Server with
ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing.

MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS

31

Using application-defined halftone screens


If your site has installed the Fiery Graphic Arts Package (not available for all Color Server
models), you can define halftone screens from several PostScript applications and use them
when printing. The results vary depending on the application.
To define a halftone screen, use the application to adjust the Frequency and Angle values of
the halftone screen. For applications that use the Color Server default (InDesign, FreeHand,
QuarkXPress, and Illustrator 10), the ink dots are round. For applications that define
their own shape and do not use the Color Server default (PageMaker, Photoshop, and
Illustrator 9),the halftone dots may be a different shape. When you print the job, choose
Application Defined for the Halftone Screen print option.
The Frequency and Angle settings in the Application Defined halftone screen are used
regardless of whether the setting for Combine Separations is set to On or Off. For special
instructions for printing separations with Photoshop, see Selecting options when printing
on page 39.
N OTE : In general, using halftone screens is not recommended because the print output will

have visible dots of toner rather than smooth blends. Use halftone screens only when
necessary to achieve a specific style of print output.

MANAGING COLOR IN POSTSCRIPT APPLICATIONS

32

Ensuring color accuracy when you save a file


To ensure color accuracy, take the following steps:
When saving EPS files, do not include PostScript Color Management information. This
minimizes the risk of conflicting data and multiple color conversions. PostScript Color
Management causes your CMYK and RGB colors to be interpreted by the Color Server as
though they were supplied in the Lab color space and, as a result, processed by CRDs,
rather than your simulation settings.
Include ICC color information in files. ColorWise does not conflict with this information,
and such data is useful for identifying the specific color space used by your files.
Do not include halftone and transfer functions.
Turn off color management in the printer driver.
On Windows computers, if the printer driver offers Image Color Matching options, select
Printer Image Color Matching.
On Mac OS computers, set the printer driver to include no color management commands
at print time (see Color Printing).

MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP


This chapter covers features of Adobe Photoshop versions 6.x and 7.x for Windows and
Mac OS. The illustrations show Mac OS dialog boxes, but the information and instructions
apply equally to the Windows version of Photoshop.
Because Photoshop uses a sophisticated color management system, you should perform some
color management tasks before you use Photoshop.

Loading monitor settings files and ICC device profiles in


Photoshop 6.x/7.x
After you have installed the Efirgb.icc monitor settings file and the ICC device profile for the
Color Server, they can be loaded at the same time in Photoshop 6.x/7.x.
TO LOAD THE MONITOR SETTINGS FILE AND ICC DEVICE PROFILE IN PHOTOSHOP 6.X/7.X
1 Start Photoshop.
2 Choose Color Settings from the Edit menu and select Advanced Mode in the Color Settings
dialog box.
3 Choose EFI RGB from the RGB menu.
4 Choose the profile that corresponds to the Color Server from the CMYK menu.

The Color Server ICC profile is provided as the factory default.


Additionally, the Color Server ICC profile is provided on the User Software CD. This is
designed for more faithful reproduction of RGB objects using black toner only when R, G,
and B have the same ratio. The profile is suitable for business documents that include
black-and-white tables and text. It will have no effect on documents that have color
gradation patterns (patterns which include black) or color photographic images.

Specifying color settings


The following sections outline the recommended color settings for Photoshop in a
Color Server workflow. These color settings include:
Working Spaces: Default color spaces to use when working with RGB and CMYK

documents. ICC color profiles describe the gamut and color characteristics of these working
spaces.
Color Management Policies: Instructions that tell Photoshop what to do when it encounters

color data from a color space other than the specified working space.

Configuring Photoshop color settings


Photoshop uses a sophisticated color management system that handles document colors for a
variety of color-managed workflows. By customizing color settings, you specify the amount of
color management you want to use while working in Photoshop.
TO SPECIFY COLOR SETTINGS FOR PHOTOSHOP
1 Choose Color Settings from the Edit menu.

The Color Settings dialog box appears.


2 Select Advanced Mode.

In Advanced Mode, a more extensive list of options is displayed.

MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

35

3 Choose the desired working space profile for each color mode in the
Working Spaces area.

A working space specifies the color profile for documents that have no color profile
associations or for documents that are newly created. It also defines color space of a document
converted to RGB, CMYK, or Grayscale color modes, and for spot colors in a document.
Choose an appropriate ICC profile to embed when saving a file for each color space. Use the
following guidelines for specifying working spaces:
For RGB, choose the profile for the default RGB color space used by the Color Server. In
most cases, this is EFIRGB. (For information about installing the EFIRGB profile, see
Loading monitor settings files and ICC device profiles in Photoshop 6.x/7.x on
page 33.) Consider RGB if you usually view images on a generic computer monitor or rely
on a Windows operating system to manage color on your monitor. If you choose sRGB as
a working space, you must print with the ColorWise RGB Source option set to sRGB.
New RGB documents you create in Photoshop will use this working space.
N OTE : EFIRGB is set as the default RGB source color space on the Color Server. No matter

what RGB space you select, make sure it is available on the Color Server. For more
information about downloading RGB Source profiles to the Color Server, see Color Printing.
For CMYK, choose a profile that describes your target press (such as SWOP) if you are a
prepress user. If you are an user who prints final output, choose an output profile that
describes the device connected to the Color Server. To use a device-specific output profile,
you must first upload the profile from the Color Server to your computer (see Color
Printing). New CMYK documents you create in Photoshop will use the specified working
space.
For guidelines on specifying Gray and Spot working spaces, see your Photoshop
documentation.
4 In the Color Management Policies area, choose policies for handling documents without
embedded profiles or with embedded profiles that differ from the working space.

Unless you are an advanced color user, choose Off from the RGB, CMYK, and Gray menus.
If you specify a color management policy and open a document in an environment with a
different working space than the one in which it was created, you may encounter problems.
The profile embedded in a document may be overwritten if it differs from the specified
working space (although the numeric color values in the document are preserved).

5 If you do not choose Off for the Color Management Policies, select the following:

Profile Mismatches: Ask When Opening, Ask When Pasting


Missing Profiles: Ask When Opening.

This option displays an alert message that allows you to override the specified policy behavior
(Off ) when opening documents or importing color data.
This is recommended so that you are notified before any application color management is
applied.
6 In the Conversion Options area, specify settings for converting between color spaces.

Choose Adobe (ACE) from the Engine menu to use the built-in color management engine
for Photoshop.
Choose a rendering intent from the Intent menu that optimizes the color quality of the
conversion. For guidelines on choosing the rendering intent, see your Photoshop
documentation.
Select Use Black Point Compensation and Use Dither (8-bit/channel images) to optimize the
quality of color conversions.
7 Clear the Desaturate Monitor Colors By and Blend RGB Colors Using Gamma options in the
Advanced Controls area.

Clearing these options helps to ensure a match between your monitor display and the
printed output.
8 Click Save to save the current group of color settings.

The Save dialog box appears.


9 Name the settings file, accept the default saved location, and click Save.

You can switch to your saved settings at any time by choosing the group name from the
Settings menu at the top of the Color Settings dialog box.

Saving files from Photoshop


Before saving a file from Photoshop, perform any necessary rotating, cropping, and resizing.
This speeds processing when printing from the application in which the image is placed.
When saving a document from Photoshop 6.x, you have the option to embed a color profile
in the document. If you are sending the document to the Color Server, we recommend that
you disable this option.

Choosing a file format


We recommend that you use EPS or TIFF file formats to save RGB images that will be
imported into other documents and printed to the Color Server. You can import EPS and
TIFF files into virtually all page layout applications.
N OTE : Although TIFF files generally display better when imported into other applications,

their color and resolution characteristics may be altered by the application into which they are
imported. EPS files are not modified by the application into which they are imported.
N OTE : In the following procedures, only Photoshop 7.x (Mac OS version) dialog boxes are

shown. When applicable, differences between versions 7.x and 6.x, and the Windows and
Mac OS versions of Photoshop are noted.
TO SAVE A DOCUMENT FROM PHOTOSHOP
1 Choose Save As from the File menu.

The Save As dialog box appears.

2 Specify settings in the Save As dialog box.

Specify a name, file format, and location for the document.

4 Specify EPS options and click OK.

Choose a TIFF preview option. A TIFF preview is compatible with both Windows and
Mac OS computers.
Do not select the PostScript Color Management option. For more information about
PostScript Color Management, see the following section.
Do not select Include Transfer Function or Include Halftone Screen.
N OTE : If you choose JPEG encoding, save a backup of the original image saved with binary

encoding until you see the printed results of the JPEG file. Occasionally, the compression
used for JPEG encoding produces unwanted artifacts. If you see unexpected results in the
printed output of a JPEG file, revert to a binary version.
If you experience problems printing the document in which you placed the image, substitute
an ASCII version of the same image and reprint the document. Binary encoding is much
more compact than ASCII encoding, but occasionally causes printing problems with some
system configurations.

Advanced tips for using PostScript color management


Use the following information to implement alternative, more complex, color workflows with
Photoshop.
N OTE : To use PostScript color management with Photoshop 6.x, choose PostScript Color

Management from the Profile menu in the Photoshop pane of the printer driver.
Saving EPS documents with PostScript Color Management
Selecting the PostScript Color Management option when saving either a CMYK or RGB EPS
file prompts Photoshop to embed PostScript color informationwhich is independent of
ICC profilesin the resulting document. This information is intended for PostScript devices
like the Color Server.
Printing RGB EPS files saved with PostScript Color Management
When you print an RGB EPS file that contains an embedded profile to the Color Server, you
can use the working space information from the embedded RGB profile as an RGB source
definition for Color Server CRDs. To use this source color space information from the
embedded profile with Color Server CRDs, choose None as the ColorWise RGB Source
when you print. This applies when you print directly from Photoshop or when the same RGB
EPS file is output from another application.
To override the embedded profile in an EPS file using an RGB Source definition made
available by the Color Server, choose anything except None as the Color Server RGB Source
Profile.

MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

42

Printing RGB images with Photoshop PostScript Color Management


If you select an RGB color space and decide to use PostScript Color Management,
Photoshop sends RGB data to the Color Server along with PostScript color information
defining this RGB color space. When you select PostScript Color Management, a CRD is
used to perform color conversions to CMYK.
N OTE : The included RGB source color space information is overridden by the ColorWise

RGB Source option unless it is set to None. The ColorWise Rendering Style option specified
takes effect if the ColorWise RGB Source Profile option is set to None.
For fastest print times, choose JPEG encoding, but inspect printed output carefully
for unwanted artifacts that may appear as a result of JPEG compression. If you see unexpected
results in the printed output, reprint the job using Binary or ASCII encoding.
Printing CMYK EPS files saved with PostScript Color Management
If you select the Photoshop PostScript Color Management option when you save a CMYK
EPS image, Photoshop embeds PostScript color information that defines the CMYK source
color space of the image. When you print a CMYK EPS file that contains PostScript color
information to the Color Server, CRDs are used instead of ColorWise CMYK Simulation
and Simulation Method settings. Choose the appropriate setting for the Rendering Style
option.

MANAGING COLOR IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

43

Printing CMYK graphics with Photoshop PostScript Color Management


If you select a CMYK color space and decide to use PostScript Color Management,
Photoshop sends CMYK data to the Color Server along with PostScript color information
defining this CMYK color space. When you select PostScript Color Management, a CRD is
used to perform color conversions to the CMYK color space of the Color Server.
The destination color space for the CRDs is determined by the RGB Separation print option.
If RGB Separation is set to Simulation, the CMYK graphic is printed according to all
specified CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation Method settings. If RGB
Separation is set to Output, the CMYK graphic is converted to the CMYK color space of the
selected output profile.
Setting the Color Server print option Spot Color Matching to On has an effect only if you use
the Photoshop Multi-Channel feature to define spot channels and then save the image in EPS
format and open it in another application. For more information see your Photoshop
documentation.
Photoshop converts spot colors to CMYK values when you work in CMYK mode.
If the graphic was separated for an offset press standard, apply the corresponding CMYK
Simulation setting. For example, if the graphic is separated for SWOP, choose SWOP as
the CMYK Simulation setting.
If Photoshop is configured for a custom separation using a ICC profile, choose the
corresponding profile for the ColorWise CMYK Simulation option.
The previous custom simulation setting requires that the same profile used for separation in
Photoshop also resides on the Color Server. For more information about downloading
CMYK Simulation profiles to the Color Server with ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing.

Adobe Illustrator for Windows and Mac OS


The following sections provide guidelines for working with Adobe Illustrator versions 10.x
and 9.x.

Note about color models in Adobe Illustrator


In Illustrator, you can set the Document Color Mode to either RGB Color or CMYK color.
All elements in that file are created in that color model. When you print the file, the data is
sent to the Color Server in the color model that you specified.

Illustrator color settings


Illustrator uses a sophisticated color management system that can handle both RGB and
CMYK colors for a variety of color-managed workflows. By customizing color settings, you
specify the amount of color management you want to use while working in Illustrator. These
color settings include the following:
Working spaces: Default color spaces to use when working with RGB and CMYK

documents. ICC color profiles describe the gamut and color characteristics of these working
spaces.
Color management policies: Instructions that tell Illustrator what to do when it encounters

color data from a color space other than the specified working space.

2 Select Advanced Mode.

In Advanced Mode, a more extensive list of options is displayed.


3 Choose the desired working space profile for each mode in the Working Spaces area.

Use the following guidelines for specifying working spaces:


For RGB, choose EFIRGB. This profile represents the default RGB color space used by the
Color Server. New RGB documents you create in Illustrator will use this working space.
For CMYK, choose a profile that describes your target press (such as SWOP) if you are a
prepress user. If you are an office user printing final output, choose an output profile that
describes the device connected to the Color Server. To use a device-specific output profile,
upload the profile from the Color Server to your computer (see Color Printing). New
CMYK documents you create in Illustrator will use the specified working space.

4 Choose policies for handling documents without embedded profiles or with embedded
profiles that differ from the working space in the Color Management Policies area.

Choose Off from the RGB and CMYK menus. This option discards the original profile
embedded in a document if it differs from the specified working space.
In the Profile Mismatches area, select the Ask When Opening option. This option displays an
alert message that allows you to override the specified policy behavior (Off ) when opening
documents or importing color data.
5 Choose settings for converting between color spaces in the Conversion Options area.

Choose Adobe (ACE) from the Engine menu to use the built-in color management engine
for Illustrator.
Choose a rendering intent from the Intent menu that will optimize the color quality of the
conversion. For information about choosing the rendering intent, see your Illustrator
documentation.
Select the Use Black Point Compensation option to optimize the quality of color conversions.
6 Click Save to save the current group of color settings.

The Save dialog box appears.


7 Name the settings file, accept the default saved location, and click Save.

You can switch to your saved settings at any time by choosing the group name from the
Settings menu at the top of the Color Settings dialog box.

Saving files for importing into other documents


When saving files in Illustrator for importing into other types of documents, use the EPS file
format. Illustrator can save color information in both RGB and CMYK. The ColorWise RGB
Source and Rendering Style settings affect color output of RGB artwork saved in Illustrator
EPS and imported into other kinds of documents (even when both RGB and CMYK artwork
exists in the same file). In the case of Illustrator files imported into Photoshop, however,
vector data from the Illustrator file is rasterized into bitmaps in Photoshop, and the final color
space of the bitmap data is determined by the color mode you set in Photoshop.

The properties of color


This section introduces concepts that are basic to color theory. You will encounter some of
these concepts (such as hue, saturation, and brightness) when you work with color in
applications; others provide useful background information. Color is a complex topic, so
consider this a starting point for experimentation and further research.

The physics of color


The human eye can see electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths between 400 nanometers
(purplish blue) and 700 nanometers (red). This range is called the visible spectrum of light.
We see pure spectral light as intensely saturated or pure colors. Sunlight at midday, which we
perceive as white or neutral light, is composed of light from across the visible spectrum in
more or less equal proportions. Shining sunlight through a prism separates it into its spectral
components, resulting in the familiar rainbow of colors illustrated in the following figure.

Like the sun, most light sources we encounter in our daily environment emit a mixture of
light wavelengths, although the particular distribution of wavelengths can vary considerably.
Light from a tungsten light bulb, for example, contains much less blue light than sunlight.
Tungsten light appears white to the human eye, which, up to a point, can adjust to the
different light sources. However, color objects appear different under tungsten light than they
do in sunlight because of the different spectral makeup of the two light sources.
The mixture of light wavelengths emitted by a light source is reflected selectively by different
objects. Different mixtures of reflected light appear as different colors. Some of these mixtures
appear as relatively saturated colors, but most appear as grays or impure hues of a color.

DESKTOP COLOR PRIMER

75

CIE color model


In the 1930s, the Commission Internationale de lEclairage (CIE) defined a standard color
space, a way of defining colors in mathematical terms, to help in the communication of color
information. This color space is based on research on the nature of color perception. The
following CIE chromaticity diagram is a two-dimensional model of color vision. The arc
around the top of the horseshoe encompasses the pure, or spectral, colors from blue-violet to
red. Although the CIE chromaticity diagram is not perceptually uniform, some areas of the
diagram seem to compress color differences relative to others, it is a good tool for illustrating
some interesting aspects of color vision.

By mixing any two spectral colors in different proportions, we can create all the colors found
on the straight line drawn between them in the diagram. It is possible to create the same gray
by mixing blue-green and red light or by mixing yellow-green and blue-violet light. This is
possible because of a phenomenon peculiar to color vision called metamerism. The eye does
not distinguish individual wavelengths of light. Therefore, different combinations of spectral
light can produce the same perceived color.
Purple colors, which do not exist in the spectrum of pure light, are found at the bottom of the
diagram. Purples are mixtures of red and blue lightthe opposite ends of the spectrum.

Hue, saturation, and brightness


A color can be described in terms of three varying characteristics, called the HSB color model:
Hue: Tint (the qualitative aspect of a colorred, green, or orange)
Saturation: The purity of the color
Brightness: Relative position between white and black

76

DESKTOP COLOR PRIMER

While the CIE chromaticity diagram illustrated earlier conveys hue and saturation,
a three-dimensional color model is required to add the brightness component, as illustrated in
the following figure.

Brightness

Hue
Saturation

Many computer applications include dialog boxes in which you choose colors by
manipulating hue, saturation, and brightness. For example, some applications use a color
picker that can be reconfigured according to your preference (as illustrated in the following
figure).

DESKTOP COLOR PRIMER

77

Additive and subtractive color systems


Color devices used in desktop publishing and printing simulate the range of visible colors
using a set of primary colors that are combined to create other colors. There are two methods
for creating a range of colors from a set of primary colors. Computer monitors and scanners
are based on the additive color model. Printing technologies, including the Color Server and
offset presses, are based on the subtractive color model.
Additive (RGB) color
Color devices that use the additive color model create a range of colors by combining varying
amounts of red, green, and blue light. These colors are called the additive primaries
(illustrated in the following figure). White is created by adding the maximum amount of red,
green, and blue light available. Black occurs wherever all three colors are absent. Grays are
created by adding equal amounts of all three color together. Combining varying amounts of
any two of the additive primaries creates a third, saturated hue.

DESKTOP COLOR PRIMER

78

A familiar device that is based on this color model is the computer monitor, illustrated in the
following figure. Monitors have red, green, and blue phosphors that emit varying amounts of
light to display a given color. Scanners create digital representations of colors by measuring
their red, green, and blue components through colored filters.

Subtractive (CMY and CMYK) color


The subtractive color model is the basis for color printing, color photographic prints, and
transparencies. While the additive color model simulates the visible spectrum of color by
adding light of three primary hues, the subtractive color model starts with a white or neutral
light source containing light of many wavelengths. Inks, toners, or other colorants are used to
selectively absorb (subtract) certain wavelengths of light that otherwise would be reflected or
transmitted by the media in use.
The subtractive primaries are cyan, magenta, and yellow; they absorb red, green, and blue
light, respectively (as illustrated in the following figure). Combining any two subtractive
primaries creates a new color that is relatively pure or saturated. For example, you can make
red by combining magenta and yellow, which absorb green and blue light, respectively. White
occurs when no colorant is applied. In theory, combining all three subtractive primaries yields
black, but due to deficiencies of cyan, magenta, and yellow colorants, combining these three
primaries actually yields a muddy brown. Black colorant is added to compensate for the
deficiencies of cyan, magenta, and yellow colorants. Consequently, color printing uses four
process colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and blacK (CMYK). The use of black toner produces
rich, solid blacks and allows for improved rendering of black text.

Understanding color gamut


Different color reproduction techniques have different color capabilities, or gamuts. Color
transparency films have comparatively large gamuts, as do color monitors. The color gamut
that can be produced using process inks or CMYK toners on paper is smaller. This is why
some colors that can be displayed on a color monitor, especially bright saturated colors,
cannot be reproduced exactly by your Color Server, nor can they be reproduced on a press
using process colors. Moreover, different printers have different gamuts. Some colors your
printer can produce cannot be reproduced on an offset press, and vice versa. The following
figure illustrates this concept of differing gamuts.

You must account for the gamut of your printer when designing on a color monitor. When
printed, colors that fall outside the printer gamut are mapped to printable colors. This
process, referred to as gamut mapping, takes place when color data is converted or adjusted
to meet the gamut requirements of a printer.
The Color Server is specially designed to perform gamut mapping at high speed with
high-quality results. It provides these color management features automatically, using either
built-in default settings or settings you select for a particular print job. For added flexibility,
you can also use the Color Server color management system in combination with the color
management systems on Windows and Mac OS computers.

Printing techniques
Until recently, most color printing was done on printing presses using one of several printing
techniques, such as offset lithography, flexography, or gravure. All traditional printing
techniques require lengthy preparation before a press run can take place. Short-run color
printing, including Color Server printing, eliminates most of this preparation. By
streamlining the process of color printing, the Color Server makes short print runs
economically feasible.
In contemporary offset lithographic printing, digital files from desktop computers are output
to an imagesetter, which creates film separations. The film is used to make a prepress proof,
which is an accurate predictor of the final print job and allows you to make corrections before
going to press. Once the proof is approved, the printer makes plates from the film and runs
the print job on the press.
With the Color Server, you simply print the file. The Color Server processes the PostScript
information in the file and sends four bitmaps (one each for cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black) to the printer. The ease of Color Server printing makes possible experimentation that
would be too costly on a press, allowing unlimited fine-tuning of color and design elements.

Halftone and continuous tone devices


Halftoning is used in offset printing to print each process color at a different intensity,
allowing millions of different colors to be reproduced using only the four process colors.
Depending on the required intensity of a given color, toner is placed on paper in dots of
different size. The grid of dots used for each toner color is called a screen. Halftone screens are
aligned to unique angles designed to eliminate interference patterns called moir that can
arise with halftoning.
Some color printers are commonly referred to as continuous tone (contone) devices. They do
not use traditional halftone screen patterns and angles. Contone devices are capable of varying
the intensity of individual dots.
Even if your color printing is done exclusively on the Color Server, you will encounter
concepts from offset printing if you use high-end graphics applications. For example, color
controls in illustration applications, such as Adobe Illustrator, are geared toward specifying
color for offset printing using process and spot colors. Many applications allow you to specify
the screening used for each printing plate.

Using color effectively


The ability to print in color can greatly increase the effectiveness of your message, whether
you are printing a presentation or newsletter (short-run printing), or proofing an ad concept
that will later be printed on a press (color proofing). Some potential benefits of using color
include:
Conveying information rapidly by using color cues
Making use of the emotive aspects of different colors
Increasing impact and message retention
Color can also be a source of distraction and discord if it is used poorly. This section outlines
some guidelines and concepts to consider as you approach designing color materials.

General guidelines
To create successful color materials, consider the following:
Use color to aid comprehension, rather than applying colors indiscriminately.
In presentations, graphs, and charts, use color to highlight patterns and
emphasize differences.
Use color sparingly. In general, fewer colors work better than many colors.
Use red as an accent color. Red is particularly effective when used in otherwise
monochromatic materials.
Consider the tastes of your target audience when choosing colors.
Keep a file of printed color pieces that appeal to you or strike you as effective. Refer to it
for ideas when designing your own documents.

Color wheel
A color wheel like the one in the following figure is a helpful tool for understanding the
interrelation of colors. The colors on one side of the color wheel, from magenta to yellow,
appear to most people to be warm colors, while those on the other side, from green to blue,
appear to be cool. The distance between two colors on the color wheel can help predict how
they will appear when seen side by side.

84

DESKTOP COLOR PRIMER

Colors opposite one another on the color wheel are called complements (see example a in the
following figure), and create a striking contrast side by side. This can be the basis for a bold
graphical design, but it is an effect you should use with discretion, since it can be visually
fatiguing. Other bold combinations to consider are split complementsa color and the two
colors adjacent to its complement (example b)and triads (three colors evenly spaced on the
color wheel (example c). Colors adjacent to one another on the color wheel result in subtle
harmonies.

The color wheel simplifies color relationships for the purpose of clarity, showing only
saturated or pure colors. Adding the myriad variations of each hue to the palette (more or less
saturated, darker, or lighter) creates a wealth of possibilities. Taking a pair of complements
from the color wheel and varying the saturation and brightness of one or both colors produces
a very different result from the pure complements. Combining a light tint of a warm color
with a darker shade of its cooler complement often gives pleasing results. Combining a darker
shade of a warm color with a light tint of its cooler complement produces an unusual effect
that may appeal to you.
Once you have mastered the concept of the color wheel, you have a good framework for
experimenting with color combinations. Many books targeted at graphic designers show
groups of preselected color combinations. Some are organized by themes or moods, and some
are based on a custom color system, such as PANTONE. The more you develop a critical
facility for judging color combinations, the more you will trust your own eye for color. For a
selection of books about design, see the Bibliography on page 89.

Color and text


It is not a coincidence that the overwhelming majority of text you see is printed in black on
white paper. Text in black on white is highly legible and is not fatiguing to read for extended
periods. For many color materials, using black text on a white background and confining
color to graphic elements and headings is a good choice.
When used skillfully, color text can add flair to documents printed on paper. This technique is
widely used in presentations. When using color text, avoid dazzling text and background
combinations created from primary complements, especially red and cyan or red and blue.
They are visually fatiguing and hard to read. Color text is more legible when distinguished
from its background by a difference in lightness, for example, dark blue text on a light beige
background. In addition, using many different colors in a string of text makes for a confused
appearance and is hard to read. However, using a single highlight color is an effective way to
draw the readers eye to selected words. For color text samples, see the following figure.

STOP!

STOP!

De gustibus
non est
disputandum.

Exceptio probat
regulam de rebus
non exceptis.

When using color text, keep in mind that small font sizes typically do not print in color with
the same sharpness as in black. In most applications, black text prints exclusively in black
toner, while color text usually prints with two or more toners. Any misregistration between
the different toners on paper causes color text to lose definition. You can make test prints to
find the smallest point size at which color text prints clearly. When using high-end graphics
applications that allow you to specify color as percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, black, you
can create pure cyan or pure magenta text that prints with the same sharpness as black text.
(Pure yellow text is extremely hard to read on anything but a dark or complementary
background.)

Raster images and vector graphics


Two broad categories of artwork can be printed from a personal computer to a color printer:
raster images and vector graphics.
A raster image, also referred to as a bitmap, is composed of a grid of pixels, each assigned a
particular color value (as illustrated in example a in the following figure). The grid, when
sufficiently enlarged, resembles a mosaic made from square tiles. Examples of raster images
include scans and images created in painting or pixel-editing applications, such as Photoshop
and Corel Painter.
The amount of data found in a raster image depends on its resolution and bit depth. The
resolution of a raster describes the compactness of the pixels and is specified in pixels per inch
(ppi). The bit depth is the number of bits of information assigned to each pixel. Black and
white raster images require only one bit of information per pixel. Grayscale images require 8
bits per pixel. For photographic quality color, 24 bits of RGB color information are required
per pixel, yielding 256 levels of red, green, and blue. For CMYK images, 32 bits per pixel are
required.
When printing raster artwork, the quality of the output depends on the resolution of the
source raster. If the raster resolution is too low, individual pixels become visible in the printed
output as small squares. This effect is sometimes called pixelation.
In vector graphics, picture objects are defined mathematically as lines or curves between
pointshence the term vector (see example b). Picture elements can have solid, gradient,
or patterned color fills. Vector artwork is created in illustration and drawing applications, such
as Illustrator and CorelDRAW. Page layout applications, such as QuarkXPress, also allow you
to create simple vector artwork with their drawing tools. PostScript fonts are vector-based,
as well.

Vector artwork is resolution-independent. You can scale it to any size and resolution without
danger of pixels becoming visible in printed output.

Optimizing files for processing and printing


The following sections provide information about how to create image files that produce
the highest possible print quality while minimizing the processing time and disk space
they require.

Resolution of raster images


While a 72-ppi raster image appears sharp on a monitor, the same image would likely appear
pixelated when printed to the Color Server. Color printers are capable of much greater detail
than computer monitors, and require correspondingly higher resolution image files. However,
high-resolution files can be large and, therefore, cumbersome to transmit over a network,
process for printing, store on disk, and edit.
Beyond a certain threshold, a higher image resolution greatly increases file size while having a
minimal effect on output quality. The optimal image resolution depends on the resolution of
the final print device. Aim for the resolution that optimizes both file size and output quality.
The resolution of a raster image, along with its bit depth and physical dimensions, determine
its file size. The following table shows the file sizes of color raster images at different
dimensions and resolutions.

In this table, the shaded areas indicate that 200 ppi is typically the best trade-off between
image quality and file size. However, higher resolutions (for example, 250 to 300 ppi) may be
necessary for offset printing, when quality is of the utmost importance, or for images
containing sharp diagonal lines.
To find the best image resolution for your purposes, make test prints of some raster artwork at
different resolutions. Start with a high-resolution image (400 ppi) and save versions at
progressively lower resolutions, down to 100 ppi, using a pixel-editing application, such as
Photoshop. Always save a copy of the original high-resolution version, in case you must revert
to it. The high-resolution data cannot be recreated from a lower resolution version.

88

DESKTOP COLOR PRIMER

Image quality

Print the files and examine the output. You will likely begin to see a marked deterioration in
output quality at resolutions below 200 ppi, while above 200 ppi the improvement may be
very subtle.

100 ppi

200 ppi

300 ppi

400 ppi

500 ppi

600 ppi

Image resolution

Raster images prepared for offset printing may need to be at higher resolutions than necessary
for proofing on your Color Server.

Scaling
Ideally, each raster image should be saved at the actual size, and it will be placed in the
document at the optimal resolution for the printer. If the image resolution is correct for the
printer, there is no quality advantage to be gained by scaling an image to a percentage of its
actual size. If you scale a large image to a percentage of its actual size, you incur unnecessary
file transfer time, because the image data for the entire large image is sent to the printer. If an
image is placed multiple times at markedly different sizes in a document, save a separate
version of the image at the correct size for each placement.
If you must place an image at greater than 100% in a document, remember that the output
image resolution is affected. For example, if you scale a 200 ppi image to 200%, the image is
printed at 100 ppi.

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW

PRINT OPTIONS

OVERVIEW
This chapter describes printer drivers, PPD files, and E-5000/E-3000 print options, and
indicates where to set print options.

About printer drivers and printer description files


The E-5000/E-3000 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) the files,
and then sends them to the copier. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the
E-5000/E-3000 by means of a printer driver and PPD files. The driver allows you to use
special features of the E-5000/E-3000 from the Print dialog box.
A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the printer.
It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those instructions with
printer-specific options that 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 that you set from the Print dialog
box.
A printer driver also allows you to select print options for your copier. To do this, the printer
driver must be matched with a PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file for your E-5000/
E-3000. A PPD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular
device (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer driver reads
the information in the PPD file and presents that information to you in the form of options
you select in the Print dialog box. The PPD file for the E-5000/E-3000 includes information
about the features of both the copier and the E-5000/E-3000. For information about the
specific print options for the E-5000/E-3000, see the table on page 9.

PRINT OPTIONS OVERVIEW

Setting print options


Print options give you access to the special features of your copier and E-5000/E-3000.
You can specify print options using the following methods:
During Setup
Some settings are specified during Setup by the administrator. For information about
the current default server settings, contact the administrator or the operator.
From applications
With the Adobe PostScript printer drivers, you can specify job settings when you print
a job. For information about specifying job settings from Windows applications, see
Printing from Windows. For information about specifying job settings from Mac OS
applications, see Printing from Mac OS.
From ColorWise Pro Tools
Set the default CMYK Simulation Profile, CMYK Simulation Method, RGB Source
Profile, RGB Separation, Output Profile, Rendering Style, Spot Color Matching, Pure
Black Text/Graphics, and Black Overprint settings. For more information about using
ColorWise Pro Tools, see Color Printing.
From Hot Folders (optional)
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 more information, see Hot Folders Help.
Overrides from Command WorkStation
To change job settings from Command WorkStation, double-click a job to display the
Properties dialog box.
For more information about Command WorkStation, see Command WorkStation Help.

Print option override hierarchy


The override hierarchy is as follows:
A users printer driver settings override the E-5000/E-3000 Setup and ColorWise Pro
Tools settings.
Settings made from the job management tools override the users printer driver settings.

PRINT OPTIONS
This chapter explains the E-5000/E-3000 print options, default settings, and any constraints
or requirements. This chapter also provides more detailed descriptions of specific print
options, beginning on page 20.

Print options and settings


In the following table, underlined settings in the Option and settings column indicate default
printer driver settings (PPD defaults). If you do not use the printer driver interface to
configure a particular option, the E-5000/E-3000 prints the job with the underlined setting.

Image Shift
Image Shift allows you to specify how much the image on each page should be shifted relative
to the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axis. Moving the job content in this manner enables you
to allow for various finishing options, such as stapling and binding. Image Shift prevents the
image from being clipped.
TO DEFINE IMAGE SHIFT FOR A PRINT JOB
1 Select Image Shift from the Finishing tab in the printer driver.

2 Select the unit of measurement.


3 Enter the Front image shift settings in the X and Y axis fields. You can also use the arrow
buttons to shift the image settings.

PRINT OPTIONS

Scale
This option allows you to set the scale value of an active job. The operator can specify a
scaling override from Spooler, but the override is applied to any scaling value already set in the
active job. For example, if a user sends a job with a scaling value of 50% and the operator
specifies a Scale override of 200%, the job is printed at 100% of the original document size,
that is, 50% of 200%.

Scale to Fit
This option allows you to scale a job to a paper size different from the image size. When you
set this option to On, the image is increased or reduced in size to fit a paper size you select
from the Page Size option.
When this option is set to Off, the original document size is printed without any scaling, even
if you print to a larger paper size.

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW
This chapter describes variable printing technology and discusses the supported components
that allow you to create variable data print jobs.
For specific variable data printing scenarios and workflows, see Workflow Examples.

Overview of variable data printing


Variable data printing is typically used for personalized mailings, such as direct-mail
advertising. It involves combining a set of master elements that are common across copies
of a document (reusable data) with a set of variable elements that change from copy to copy.
When you use variable data printing, you create personalized communications with elements
that have special appeal to your targeted audience.
An example of variable data printing is a brochure that greets customers by name and may
include other personal information about the customer obtained from a marketing database.
Background elements, illustrations, and text blocks that do not change across copies of the
brochure are master elements. The customers name and other customer-specific information
are variable elements.
In its simplest form, you can use variable data printing as a basic mail merge. However,
you can also dynamically assemble charts, text, and other objects to create attractive, highly
customized documents.
Variable data printing uses digital printing technology that customizes communication by
linking databases that contain the content for printed documents to a print device, such as the
copier. The customized communication includes rules that specify the selection of content
from the database and the placement of that content in the document.
The following two variable data printing technologies describe how reusable data is specified
within a variable data printing language.
Page-based technology describes static, reusable data (the master element) in terms of entire

pages. Each page element is called a master page. Page-based languages are more suitable for
simple, predictable layouts. FreeForm is a page-based language. For more information about
FreeForm, see Printing variable data documents on page 12.
Element-based technology describes static, reusable data in terms of elements or objects.
Element-based technology allows you to use many separate objects within a page as static
elements or variable elements individually.

OVERVIEW

Element-based variable data jobs use reusable objects for the variable elements in the job,
such as images. Because these elements are frequently accessed, they are stored on the E-5000/
E-3000 and cached as a group.

Variable data job components


A typical variable data print job includes the following major components:
Content
Content includes the text, images, or photographs placed in different areas of your
document. You can create static or variable content using a variety of applications,
such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Word.
Database
A database is a table containing all the changeable or variable elements in a printed
document, such as text, graphics, and photographs. You can use a database created in
popular desktop programs, such as Microsoft Excel or FileMaker Pro.
The data must be organized into records and fields (categories) for each record.
For example, in a database about people, a person is a record and the information
about that person, such as name, address, and phone number, is a field.
Business rules
Business rules, created in a variable data printing application, specify what variable content
to use and where to place it within your document. According to these predefined rules,
which are described by if and then statements, the variable data application uses
particular elements from databases to create personalized pages and documents that
contain different text and images for a specific audience. For example, you can set up
a rule to print specific content for a specific age range.
Layout
Layout encompasses the design or page layout of your document in any desktop
publishing or word processing application. The layout must accommodate space for
variable text and images.

OVERVIEW

Variable data print applications


Variable data print applications combine master elements and variable information and
prepare the document for printing. For FreeForm, you do not need a dedicated variable
data print application.
Print device
The print device is the output device that turns digital files into hardcopy documents.
This can be any printer, copier, or digital press that supports variable data printing.

E-5000/E-3000 variable data printing


The E-5000/E-3000 combines variable data printing languages, third-party variable data
printing applications, and E-5000/E-3000 core features to integrate into many existing
workflows. For more information about variable data printing workflows, see Workflow
Examples.

Compatible variable data printing languages


The E-5000/E-3000 is compatible with the following variable data printing languages:
FreeForm and FreeForm 2
FreeForm and FreeForm 2 are used with variable data solutions. FreeForm technology
reusable data is RIPped only once, enabling the copier to run faster.

FreeForm and FreeForm 2


FreeForm, developed by EFI, supports the creation of master elements and variable data from
any desktop application or platform where the master page is assigned a number from 1 to
100. FreeForm options are found in the Fiery driver, Command WorkStation, and EFI Hot
Folders. For more information about FreeForm, see Printing variable data documents.
FreeForm 2 expands FreeForm technology by allowing you to determine page conditions and
rules for printing a job containing multiple master pages. It also allows you to define
boundaries of each record in the data stream. This means defining the start and end of each
record. Unlike FreeForm, FreeForm 2 requires a variable data printing application (for
example, PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version) that specifically supports FreeForm 2. For more
information about FreeForm 2, see Printing variable data documents.
Atlas PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version
Atlas PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version, a variable data printing application that supports
FreeForm, FreeForm 2, and PostScript.
Atlas Print Shop Mail-Fiery Version allows you to:
Create conditional rules that determine what variable content is placed on a page.
Integrate database information into the layout of a document by dragging and dropping
database fields.
Create the master and variable document in any layout or design application and use any
database format.
For more information about using Atlas PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version, see the documentation
that accompanies the application.

E-5000/E-3000 core features for variable data printing


By integrating variable data support into the E-5000/E-3000s core features, such as Impose
and Mixed Media, you can create custom layouts and apply different media and finishing
options to your variable data jobs.
Impose with variable data printing imposition
The E-5000/E-3000 is compatible with variable data printing imposition with Impose for the
following variable data printing languages:
FreeForm and FreeForm 2 variable data jobs
For information about imposing a variable data job, see Imposing FreeForm jobs with
Impose on page 22.
For more information about imposition layouts, see Command WorkStation Help.
Hot Folders with variable data printing imposition
You can impose a variable data job using Hot Folders when you submit it to the E-5000/
E-3000. You must set up a proper variable data printing imposition template for the specific
Hot Folder in the Hot Folders application.
For information about imposing a variable data job with Hot Folders, see Hot Folders Help.
For information about variable data imposition options, see Command WorkStation Help.
Mixed media with variable data printing
You can apply Mixed Media settings to all variable data printing jobs, including imposed
variable data jobs.When using Mixed Media settings, the E-5000/E-3000 recognizes each
variable data record as a separate job. For a variable data job that is not imposed, the Mixed
Media settings are applied to all records of the variable data job. For an imposed variable data
job, the Mixed Media settings are applied to the output sets of the variable data job.
For an example of a variable data Mixed Media workflow, see Workflow Examples. For more
information about setting Mixed Media for a job, see Utilities.

Printing variable data documents using FreeForm


You can use FreeForm to print variable data documents. This section provides an overview of
FreeForm and describes how to create and combine master and variable elements. Guidelines
and tips are discussed at the end of the section.

How FreeForm works


FreeForm variable data printing sends the master-element data for the job to the E-5000/
E-3000 and rasterizes it separately from the variable-element data. The master-element data is
stored on the E-5000/E-3000 in rasterized form as a FreeForm master, and can be used as
often as required with multiple sets of variable-element data. Because the FreeForm master job
is preRIPped and stored on the E-5000/E-3000, the only RIP time required for variable data
print jobs is the time necessary to RIP the variable-element data.
You can use FreeForm masters for any fixed-element data you might combine with different
data from day to day. For example, you can store a letterhead template as a FreeForm master
and use it repeatedly as the background for different letter content (the variable-element
data).
FreeForm allows you to create the master and variable documents using any application.
You can create the two documents using different applications or computer platforms.
To create the master document, use a page layout or graphics application. To create the
variable document, use a word processing application that has a mail merge feature, a page
layout application that supports scripting, or a database application.
You control FreeForm functions with the Create Master and Use Master print options. Set
these options in the printer driver when you send a job, or instruct the operator to set them
with job overrides from Command WorkStation or Hot Folders. After the master document is
RIPped, it appears in the Command WorkStation FreeForm tab. You can also use Command
WorkStation to monitor and manage all the FreeForm masters stored on the E-5000/E-3000.
For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.

PRINTING VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS

14

Creating the master document


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

After you finalize the design of the master document, print it to the E-5000/E-3000 and
specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see page 18).
N OTE : Although the E-5000/E-3000 can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printer driver
interface only allows you to select numbers 1 through 15. To create a FreeForm master with a
number greater than 15, the operator must create the master page and RIP the job from
Command WorkStation.

Creating the variable document


You can create the variable document with a word processing application that provides a mail
merge function, a database application, or a page layout application that supports scripting.
In all cases, information is taken from a list or database and merged into an existing document
that is designed to accept the information. Each application has different controls for this
function. For detailed instructions, see the documentation that accompanies the application.
Before you add variable elements to the master document, format them to conform to the
layout of the master document. To do this, create a document with the correct formatting,
and then add the variable information in the appropriate places.

PRINTING VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS

15

N OTE : You must create a variable document with the same page count as the master page
document. For example, if a master document has a record length of four pages, all the
variable documents must have a record length of four pages. Add empty pages to the last
record of the variable document, if necessary.

After you create a variable document, print it to the E-5000/E-3000 and specify that it be
combined with the corresponding FreeForm master (see page 19).

Combining the FreeForm master with the variable document


When you print a variable document to the E-5000/E-3000, specify the FreeForm master
created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The E-5000/E-3000
combines the raster data of the variable document with the previously RIPped FreeForm
master, creating a new raster data file. You can soft-proof the merged raster file (before
printing it) in the thumbnail windows of Command WorkStation.
For more information about soft-proofing and the thumbnail windows of Command
WorkStation, see Command WorkStation Help.

PRINTING VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS

16

Combined document

A master document can include more than one page. When you print a variable document
and specify a FreeForm master that contains multiple pages, the variable pages are combined
with the master pages in a cyclical fashion. The following example illustrates how a variable
document combines with a two-page master document.
Pages 1 and 2 of the variable document are combined with Pages 1 and 2, respectively, of the
master document. The cycle of master pages then starts over, and Pages 3 and 4 of the variable
document are combined, respectively, with Pages 1 and 2, again, of the master document.
This pattern continues for each subsequent set of pages in the variable document.

Guidelines
This section provides some suggestions to help you print variable data jobs correctly.
Ask your administrator or operator about how FreeForm master numbers are assigned
at your site.
If FreeForm printing is used by a large number of users at your site, you can assign
FreeForm master numbers, or ranges of numbers, to specific users or groups. Users can
select only numbers 1 through 15 as print option settings. The operator can override
FreeForm master numbers and reassign them to numbers greater than 15 from Command
WorkStation. Request that the operator assign all FreeForm master numbers to avoid
potential conflicts in the use of FreeForm master numbers.
Do not send your variable printing jobs to the Direct connection through Command
WorkStation.
If you send a variable data job to the Direct connection, the job does not process.
Use the Notes and Instructions fields to communicate instructions about your job to
the operator.
If you want to create or use a FreeForm master number greater than 15, use these fields
to tell the operator to override the appropriate job setting (Create Master or Use Master)
and RIP the job from Command WorkStation.
Give your jobs unique and descriptive names.
You and the operator must be able to easily identify your jobs if there are many jobs in the
queues, the FreeForm master numbers are reassigned, or you must refer to another job in
the Notes or Instructions fields.
Consider the restrictions on Print Options when using FreeForm.
For more information about these restrictions, see Print Options.
The following settings for the master document and variable document must match:

For more information, see Print Options.
TO PRINT VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS USING FREEFORM
1 Create a master document.

The following example illustrates one page of a master document for a tri-fold brochure
created with a page layout application.

PRINTING VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS

19

2 Print the master document to the E-5000/E-3000 with the Create Master print option set to
one of the FreeForm Master numbers (1 through 15).

You can also set the Create Master option to None and instruct the operator to use overrides
from Command WorkStation to create a FreeForm master from this job.
For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.
To print your FreeForm master to ensure that it is correct before you merge it with
variable data, enable the Print Master feature after the file is sent to the E-5000/E-3000 (see
Print Options).
3 Create the variable document.

You can create the variable document using a different file, a different application, or a
different computer platform than you used to create the master document, but some print
options must be the same (for details, see page 17).
The following example illustrates one page of the variable document for the tri-fold brochure.
The data in this document can be as simple as a name and address, or as complex as multiple,
graphics and photographic elements.

N OTE : To impose the job, see Imposing FreeForm jobs with Impose on page 22.

PRINTING VARIABLE DATA DOCUMENTS

4 Print the variable document to the E-5000/E-3000 with the Use Master print option set to
the appropriate FreeForm master number.

The FreeForm master number can be one you set when you send the master document or one
assigned by the operator.
To preview the master page, click Preview Master from the printer driver to generate a low
resolution image of the master page.
FreeForm master numbers can be overridden from Command WorkStation. Consult the
operator to make sure that the FreeForm master number you specify is the correct one for the
FreeForm master you want to use.
To check the job before it prints, instruct the operator to Process and Hold the job so you can
preview it from Command WorkStation.
The following example illustrates the FreeForm master and variable document combined.
The variable data is overlaid on the master document.

MIXED MEDIA

MIXED MEDIA
This chapter provides an overview of Mixed Media and an example workflow that includes
Mixed Media.

What is Mixed Media?


The Mixed Media feature allows you to print ranges of pages on different types of media.
For example, you can use Mixed Media to specify a heavy stock for the cover, add blank pages,
insert colored media on designated pages, and specify duplex pages within a single print
job. Specify Mixed Media settings when you print a job from an application with the
printer driver. Define and modify the Mixed Media settings of jobs already sent to the
E-5000/E-3000 from Command WorkStation or define Mixed Media settings in the
Hot Folders application.
For more information about Mixed Media, see Utilities.

MIXED MEDIA

Example: Workflow with Mixed Media


A geology professor at Ocean Crest University wants to print her new course book for the fall
semester. The new course book consists of eight chapters. She wants her students to be able to
find the information they want easily and quickly. To ensure this, each chapter divider in the
book is printed on heavy media. The chapter text is printed on plain media and the front and
back covers are printed on heavy media.
The professor sends her request, along with the book file in PDF format (Geology101.pdf ),
to the universitys in-house production department.
The following diagram illustrates the components of the course book.

IMPOSITION

11

IMPOSITION
This chapter provides an overview of imposition and an example workflow using imposition.

What is imposition?
Imposition is the process of arranging individual pages of a book, booklet, or brochure on
a large sheet. The pages are laid out such that when the sheet is printed, folded, and cut,
the pages are in the correct orientation and order.
The E-5000/E-3000 supports Impose. Impose is a server-based imposition application that
allows you to edit and assemble entire documents on the E-5000/E-3000 before you process
the files.
For more information about imposition, see Command WorkStation Help.

IMPOSITION

Example: Workflow with imposition


The manager of Company ABC wants to make sure that she has enough business cards
to distribute when she manages her companys booth at the Consumer Electronics Show.
She has sent out a request to a local print shop to print 600 cards.
The print shop imposes her business cards on an 11 x 17 page. Since the card design
incorporates text on the back, the job must be duplexed. Company ABCs standard
business card size is 2 x 3.25. The print shop calculates that they can impose 25 cards
on one 11 x 17 page.
The following graphic illustrates how the business cards are imposed.

VARIABLE DATA PRINTING WITH FREEFORM

VARIABLE DATA PRINTING

15

WITH FREEFORM

This chapter provides an overview of variable data printing, and an example workflow
that uses FreeForm to create a variable data job.

What is variable data printing?


Variable data printing links a copier to databases that contain the content for printed
documents. Content can consist of text and images (including graphics and photographs)
in electronic form. Variable data printing is used for direct-mail advertising or other targeted
mailings. It typically combines a set of master elements that are common across copies of
a document with a set of variable elements that change from copy to copy. An example is a
brochure that greets customers by name and may include other personal information about
the customer obtained from a marketing database. Background elements, illustrations,
and text blocks that do not change across copies of the brochure are the master elements.
The customer name and other customer-specific information are the variable elements.
For more information, see Variable Data Printing.

Variable data printing languages


The E-5000/E-3000 is compatible with the following variable data printing languages:
FreeForm and FreeForm 2
For more information about how to send variable data printing to the E-5000/E-3000,
see Variable Data Printing.

What is FreeForm and how is it used with variable data print jobs?
FreeForm allows you to use print options to define and store master-element documents,
called FreeForm masters, on the E-5000/E-3000. You can send a variable-element job to
the E-5000/E-3000 with instructions to combine the job with a particular FreeForm master.
For more information, see Variable Data Printing.

VARIABLE DATA PRINTING WITH FREEFORM

16

Example: Variable data workflow using FreeForm


Ocean Crest University wants to promote their three schools through a mailing to prospective
students. The students will be able to request information about the different campuses and
programs. Students can reply via a postage-paid business reply card integrated into the mailer.
The document is personalized with the prospective students name, address, and a personal
web link. The design is graphic-intensive to attract the attention of the reader. It is printed on
11 x 17 paper and folded three times, in order to qualify for the standard letter mail rate at
the post office.
To create this mail piece, the in-house production department decides to use the caching
capabilities of FreeForm. FreeForm allows them to store a rasterized version of the graphic
intensive layout in memory, since these elements are common to all pages (send and process
once). The variable text (address, name, and web link) is printed separately and merged with
the layout at the E-5000/E-3000.
The production department creates the master document with all the common elements
and saves the file as a PDF (College_Master.pdf ). Next, they create the variable document in
Microsoft Word (College_Variable.doc) and link the variable information to their database
file (College_data.xls).
N OTE : No specialized variable printing software is used to build this job. You can use any

page layout application to create the FreeForm master and any mail merge function, such as
Microsoft Word Mail Merge, to build and print the variable data.
For more information about how to use the Mail Merge feature in Microsoft Word, see the
documentation that accompanies Microsoft Word.

page size and orientation must match. For a complete list, see Variable Data Printing.
You cannot send FreeForm jobs to the Direct connection.
If Two-Way Communication is enabled in the printer driver, the printer driver can detect
what masters already reside on the E-5000/E-3000. Use stored FreeForm masters as often
as needed with multiple sets of variable elements. For more information about Two-Way
Communication, see Printing from Windows.
If the administrator clears the E-5000/E-3000, all FreeForm masters are deleted. For more
information about administrator functions, see Configuration and Setup.

2 AND MIXED MEDIA

This chapter provides an overview of how you use Mixed Media with variable data printing
jobs, and provides an example workflow that uses variable data printing and Mixed Media.

What is FreeForm 2 and how is it used with variable data print jobs?
FreeForm 2 extends the functionality of FreeForm (see Variable Data Printing with
FreeForm on page 15). FreeForm 2 requires a third-party variable data printing application
that supports FreeForm 2 technology, such as Atlas PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version. Using
the third-party printing application and FreeForm 2, you can create multiple page masters,
allowing more customization to your documents. You can still use any master created in
another application, and then use a third-party application that supports FreeForm 2, such
as PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version, to combine the design and database information.
Multiple masters allow you to define more than one master file for your job, while drawing
from the same database of variable information. For example, if you own a movie rental
company, you may maintain a database of customer names, addresses, and the last five movies
the customer rented, categorized by genre. As a promotion, you want to send a coupon
booklet with a new movie rental release pictured on the front cover. You want to customize
your mailer with a movie of a similar genre as the last movie the customer rented. The variable
information, such as the customer names and addresses, is always drawn from the database.
However, the different movie images are defined by the multiple masters.
For more information about FreeForm 2, see Variable Data Printing.

VARIABLE DATA PRINTING WITH FREEFORM 2 AND MIXED MEDIA

21

What is Mixed Media and how can it be used in variable data


print jobs?
The Mixed Media feature allows you to print ranges of pages on different types of media.
For more information, see What is Mixed Media? on page 7.
Variable data printing links a copier to databases that contain the content for printed
documents. For more information, see Variable Data Printing with FreeForm on page 15.
Use variable data print jobs with Mixed Media to create custom jobs, such as mailers.
For example, use the variable information to create booklet mailers that greet customers by
name, and print the booklet cover on a different medium than the body of the mailer.
The Mixed Media that you specify for your job is applied for every record, relative to the
record start. For example, if Mixed Media is set to print Page 1 with cover stock, the first
page of every record is printed on cover stock.

Example: Variable data workflow with FreeForm 2 and Mixed Media


To announce its new line of childrens styles, Banana Rama is creating a promotional mailer
that targets customers by ethnicity, gender, and age. The company has compiled a database of
customers by name and attributes, such as ethnicity, gender, and age. For the promotional
mailer, Banana Rama also draws from a content database consisting of images of children of
different ages, gender, and ethnicity wearing the new Banana Rama clothes; images of typical
gadgets enjoyed by these children; and background graphics. Using a variable data application
such as PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version and images that match the targeted individual, Banana
Rama creates, in one print run, a mailer targeting the parents of girls aged 7 to 10 years and
customized mailers targeting the parents of boys in different age groups. The mailers feature
images of children in the targeted age group wearing Banana Rama clothing and playing with
their favorite toys.
Each promotional mailer includes a cover sheet with the customers name and a discount
coupon. The Banana Rama girls clothing line is more extensive, so the mailer targeting girls
includes additional pages advertising the girls fashions.
Since the promotional mailer may vary in length, depending on whether it is targeted toward
a boy or a girl, a blank page is added between each mailer to indicate when a new mailer starts.
The print shop that received Banana Ramas mailer request first creates the master and variable
document in Atlas Print Shop Mail-Fiery Version to create a .psm project file. For more
information about Print Shop Mail-Fiery Version, see the documentation that accompanies
the application.

HOT FOLDERS
This chapter provides an overview of Hot Folders and an example workflow using
Hot Folders.

What is a Hot Folder?


Hot Folders is a software application that streamlines network printing tasks. A Hot Folder
is a folder to which you can assign a group of print options, along with an E-5000/E-3000
print queue.
To print a document, drag and drop the file onto the Hot Folder. You can create multiple
Hot Folders, each with different settings and different E-5000/E-3000 connections.
Depending on the configuration of the Hot Folder, jobs are routed to an E-5000/E-3000
with settings that you have configured.
Hot Folder software runs as a background utility, continuously monitoring Hot Folders
for new jobs.
For more information about Hot Folders, see Utilities and Hot Folders Help.

26

HOT FOLDERS

Example: Workflow with Hot Folders


Greg works for Company ABC and wants to print 25 copies of his new business cards.
Company ABC has configured a network Hot Folder called BusinessCards, so that their
employees can drop their business card .pdf file directly onto the Hot Folder for printing.
Greg creates his business cards using the required company business card template, and
saves the file as GregCard.pdf. The business card template ensures that the cards are printed
optimally, using the imposition settings specified in the BusinessCards Hot Folder.
After the cards are printed, an operator in the company print shop cuts the cards and places
them in interoffice mail for the employee.
Company ABC business cards are 2 x 3.25 inches in size.

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 E-5000/E-3000


If you cannot connect to the E-5000/E-3000 or locate the E-5000/E-3000 from your
computer, contact your 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 E-5000/E-3000 (see Configuration and Setup).
For example, if objects in your Novell network environment are removed or renamed, or
accounts or permissions are changed, the network administrator may have to edit settings or
enter new settings in IPX (Novell) Setup to reflect the new configuration.
If you can connect to the E-5000/E-3000 with another utility, you may need to reconfigure
the Command WorkStation connection to the E-5000/E-3000 (see page 17).
If you configured the E-5000/E-3000 and set up client computers and network servers
according to the instructions in Configuration and Setup, print a Test Page. If you can print the
Test Page but still cannot print a document from a remote computer, contact the system
administrator to troubleshoot you network connection.
If you cannot connect and cannot print a Test Page, check the copier display panel for error
information.

SCAN

55

Destinations
When you initiate the scan, you select where to send the file. When you select the appropriate
settings for your scan job (see Specifying scan settings from the copier on page 51), you can
specify the location to send the scan.
You can send a scan from the copier control panel to the following destinations:
Hold queue
Mail Box
FTP
E-Mail
Internet Fax
You can select more than one destination for a scan.
Hold queue
The scan is sent to the Hold queue of the E-5000/E-3000, and appears in the Command
WorkStation Active Jobs window. If you do not type a file name for the job, a file name is
assigned automatically.
Mail Box
When you select Mail Box as a destination, you are prompted to type a 4-digit number for the
Mail Box name. Only one Mail Box can be set up at a time.
When retrieving a scan from Remote Scan or Docs, you type the same 4-digit number for the
Mail Box name.
FTP
You can choose to send a scan to an FTP server as a PDF, TIFF, or JPEG file. Only color files
can be sent as JPEG files. The FTP server must be set up before you can send a scan job to it.
Consult your network administrator for information about the FTP servers available at your
site.
E-Mail
You can send a scan to an e-mail address only if you have set up E-mail Service in advance.
For more information, see Configuration and Setup. The E-5000/E-3000 supports an Address
Book and an LDAP address book feature, which must be enabled and configured in Setup.
Using this feature, you can access the e-mail addresses on your corporate network. You can
choose to send the scan as an attachment or as a URL.
You can add e-mail addresses to the Address Book from the copier control panel, but you
must log on with Administrator privileges to do so.

SCAN

56

Internet Fax
To send a scan by Internet Fax, you must set up the e-mail service in advance, and indicate the
E-Mail destination. The scan is sent to the specified e-mail address and delivered as a fax.

Retrieving scans using Docs


You can retrieve scan jobs in the E-5000/E-3000 Mailboxes to your remote workstation using
the Docs WebTool. For instructions on using Docs, see page 62.

Printing

Long file names with PCL5c


If you print a PCL5c document that has a long file name, the document name may be printed
on an extra page.
Mixed Media finishing sets with Insert Blank
If you specify finishing sets for each chapter in a stapled Mixed Media job and then insert
a blank page before each selected chapter, your job is output with the wrong stapling sets.
Do not use Define Each Chapter as a Separate Finishing set and Insert Blank at the
same time.
Updating Installed Options in the Windows 2000/XP printer driver
The Installed Options list does not update correctly in the Windows 2000/XP printer driver if
you select Update Fiery when opened. To correctly display Installed Options in the printer
driver, click Update in addition to selecting Update Fiery when opened from the printer
driver.
Image Smoothing
When you select the Printer Default for Image Smoothing, the result is the same as with the
setting Image Smoothing=Off .
Too many processing jobs in queue error
If the number of processing jobs in the E-5000/E-3000 queue is close to the maximum
of 2,500, the E-5000/E-3000 will not accept any additional jobs, and an error messsage
is displayed.
Printing Large files
To print files larger than 4GB, print by page ranges, so that the job is separated into separate
files, each 2GB or less in size.
FreeForm jobs with the Document Server option
To send a FreeForm job to Document Server on the E-5000/E-3000, you must select
Document Server before creating the FreeForm master. If you do not, the job does not print,

Document Server
You cannot store 12" x 18" and custom-sized documents using Document Server.
EFI Impose on Document Server
You cannot save an imposed job in Document Server. Document Server does not support
Impose.
Printing to Document Server
The default Quality Mode setting is Super Fine. When sending data to the Document Server
for printing, using Super Fine uses a lot of hard disk drive space. You may want to select Fine
or Coarse, instead. The values for the Quality Mode settings are as follows:
Super Fine: Large amount of hard disk space
Fine: Medium amount of hard disk space
Coarse: Small amount of hard disk space
Printing thin lines
Thin lines in a document may not print, may appear jagged, or may produce different results
than expected. If you encounter this problem, select Text for the Dithering option on the
Image Quality tab of the printer driver.
Rebooting system while printing in process
If you attempt to reboot the system while the E-5000/E-3000 is in the process of printing,
you may experience unexpected results. Always wait until the display reads Idle before
rebooting the system.
Image Shift
The Image Shift setting is invalid when using the N-up setting.
Mixed paper size stapling
Mixed paper size stapling is supported only on SR3020/SR3030 for E-5000. If you use this
setting with other finishers, you may have unexpected results.
Virtual Printers
When opening the job properties for a Virtual Printer, Mixed Media settings are not properly
displayed. To confirm or change Mixed Media settings, use Command WorkStation. If the
Job Properties window for a Virtual Printer is accidentally opened from the Virtual Printers
dialog box, press Cancel to close the window. Do not press OK.

Booklet Maker

Nobi-size printing with Booklet Maker


With Booklet Maker, an imposed job does not print properly to custom Nobi-size paper.
Custom paper sizes are not supported. You must select an available paper size for this type
of print job.
Standard Booklet printing with N-up layout
Standard Booklet printing is not supported with N-up layout printing.
Imposition
If you specify Mixed Media for Booklet Maker jobs, such as Saddle, Perfect, Double Print,
and Speed Print, you may experience unexpected printing results. Booklet Maker print jobs
may not be stapled or punched correctly. Booklet Maker and 2 at Center can be set separately.
If you want the document that is imposed in the application to be booklet-stapled, select only
2 at Center from the Staple print option.
Landscape data with Duplex printing and Double/Speed Print setting
When you select Duplex mode with Double/Speed Print set for landscape data, the binding
direction of the print jobs will be the opposite of what you selected. For example:
If Open to Top is selected, the job prints in the Open to Left direction.
If Open to Left is selected, the job prints in the Open to Top direction.
For the Double Print setting, a workaround is to use Orientation Override on the Layout tab
of the print driver.
Limitations of Booklet Maker
The following are limitations of Booklet Maker:
When blank pages are inserted into a job as a result of specifying Booklet Maker settings,
the blank pages are counted as printed black-and-white pages.
Scale, Scale to Fit, or Fit to Print (on the Layout tab of the Job Properties window) are
not applicable when using Booklet Maker settings for a job.
If you select the Speed Print setting for Booklet Maker, the Booklet Cover settings are
not available.
Booklet Maker settings cannot be specified for an Adobe PDF file with security settings.
When using Booklet Maker settings, the Remove White PPT Background option on the
FreeForm tab cannot be selected.
A large job with Booklet Maker Double Print settings may take a long time to print.
When you print a large number of documents with Booklet Maker, you may experience
an unexpectedly long printing time.

Page 4

Direct connection limitations


Jobs or job-related information sent to the Direct connection are not saved to the hard disk.
With the Direct connection, jobs or page rasters cannot be saved to disk. Therefore, any
operation that requires disk access is not possible. These operations include:
Spooling for PDF jobs
PDF jobs must be saved to disk, as the interpreter must have random access to the file.
Most PDF jobs cannot be processed as a stream of data like PostScript. PDF jobs sent to
the Direct connection from Command WorkStation or the printer driver are redirected to
the Print queue. PDF jobs sent to the Direct connection from LPR fail.
Direct connection printing for VDP jobs
VDP jobs sent to the Direct connection are redirected to the Print queue. (For more
information, see Variable Data Printing on the User Documentation CD.)
Reverse order printing for large jobs
Reverse order printing requires RIPping the entire job before printing. If the job cannot
fit in memory, the job still prints (in reverse order), but pages are saved to disk.
Collation for large jobs
Collation is not supported for the same reason as reverse order printing. Note that
Collation is turned off for jobs printed to the Direct connection.
FreeForm jobs, including the following PPD options:
Booklet Maker
Combine Separations
Save Fast Reprint
Page Order
Duplex
Collate
Create Master
Use Master

Page 5

WebTools

Creating mailboxes
You must include the users domain name when you create a mailbox from Configure with
LDAP and the Global Address List. If you do not add the users domain name, for example,
<Domain Name>/:<User>, the E-5000/E-3000 does not recognize the mailbox name.
Service Location Protocol
You cannot set up Service Location Protocol (SLP) from the Configure WebTool.
As a workaround, set up SLP from the copier display panel.
EULA dialog box
If you are unable to connect to PrintMe with the Configure WebTool, a blank EULA
dialog box appears. Ignore this dialog box by clicking Cancel.
Web Downloads
When you download Windows software, the name of the software may not display properly if
the language differs from the current language configuration of the E-5000/E-3000. In this
case, install the required software from User Software CD (PS Printer Drivers) or User
Software CD (Utilities).
Internet Explorer 7
If you use Web Tools on Internet Explorer 7, you might be forced to quit Internet Explorer.

Help

Help files
Help files for the Fiery utilities are developed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer v5.5
or later. If you use other browsers, such as Safari or earlier versions of Internet Explorer, the
Help files might not display properly.
With Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Windows XP Service Pack 2 computer, Help files
might not display or display properly in the following situations:
If your browser uses a pop-up blocker, it might block Help files. If this happens,
temporarily disable your pop-up blocker.
If your browser has the advanced Internet option enabled to display notifications about
script errors, it might display a warning window before displaying a Help file. To avoid the
warning window, clear the Display a notification about every script error option on the
Advanced tab in the Internet Options dialog box.
A warning message might also appear in the Status bar, but the content of the Help file is
not affected by this error.

Page 6

Safari
With Safari on Mac OS X systems, Help files might not display or display incorrectly in the
following situations:
When you start Hot Folders Help using Safari on Mac OS X computers, the Help files
may not load properly, displaying the message Loading data with no result. If this occurs,
quit Safari and restart the Help files. If the problem persists, use Internet Explorer v5.5
or later.
When you use Safari on a Mac OS X computer and move the cursor to an item in
Command WorkStation Help, a frame line may appear to the left of the image.
When you use Safari v1.2 or v1.3 on Mac OS X v10.3.x computers, the text Next,
Previous, and Show in Contents incorrectly displays in the initial Command
WorkStation Help pane. If this occurs, use Mac OS X v10.4.5 with Safari v2.0.3, or
Internet Explorer v5.5 or later.

Windows

Accessories tab display


If the E-5000/E-3000 printer driver Printer Properties does not display the Printer Properties
properly, reduce the resolution and color quality in the Windows computer Control Panel\
Display properties.
Saving custom paper sizes
In the E-5000/E-3000 printer driver on Windows, custom page size is not supported for
creating templates for future use.

Mac OS X

Image Shift with Duplex printing


When you use the Image Shift option with Duplex (two-sided printing) settings for a job with
more than two pages, the image on the third page may appear distorted. This is caused by the
Mac OS X printer driver, and there is currently no workaround.
Thick1 and Thick2 Media Type with Staple
You can select Thick1 and Thick2 for Media Type when Staple is selected from the Mac OS X
printer driver. However, this print combination is not supported.

Page 7

Saving PDF or PS files


When you use Image Shift with Duplex (two-sided printing) settings, save the file as a PDF or
PostScript (PS), and then print the file, the job prints single-sided without the Image Shift
settings. If you print with the settings from the driver without saving the file as PS or PDF, the
job prints with the correct settings.
Resolving print option conflicts in the Mac OS X v10.4 printer driver
When you change print options in the Mac OS X v10.4 printer driver, specifically in the
Printer Features pane, print option conflicts are not resolved appropriately.
For example, to select a setting for the Booklet Maker print option, you must set the Duplex
(two-sided printing) print option to On before the Booklet Maker print options are available.
The Booklet Maker print options are dependent on the Duplex (two-sided printing) print
option.
In previous Mac OS versions, the print option conflicts were automatically corrected.
To resolve the print option conflicts in the Printer Features pane, use the following procedure.
TO RESOLVE PRINT OPTION CONFLICTS IN THE PRINTER FEATURES PANE
1 Select a different pane.

For example, if you were in the Printer Features pane, select the Summary pane.
After you refresh the Printer Features pane, there is a mismatch between the selected Feature
Set group and the print options that are displayed. For example, if the last Feature Set that
you changed was Image 1, it is now displayed with the print options for the first Feature Set,
such as Finishing 1.
2 Reselect the Feature Set group (for example, Image 1) to refresh the print options displayed.
3 Select the appropriate print options and print the job.

For unsupported print options, the Mac OS X printer driver displays the option as grayed
out. When printing from Mac OS X, refer to the following constraints table.

Hot Folders v2.x on Mac OS 10.4.x


Files submitted to Hot Folders v2.x on a local Mac OS 10.4.x computer or a network location
may not recognize submitted file formats, even though the file is correct and valid. This
commonly occurs if the files are in a network folder that is accessed via the Apple Filing
Protocol (AFP). This does not occur if the files are in a network folder that is accessed via
SMB.
As a workaround, set all submitted Hot Folders files with Read and Write or Read
permissions.
If your files are on the network, move them to your local computer, change the file
permissions, and then resubmit the files to Hot Folders.
If you are working from a Mac OS computer, you must first unlock and change the file
permissions. Save the new file attributes as unlocked, or change the file back to locked and
then save the attributes.
If your files are on your local computer, review and modify file permissions as necessary,
and then submit the files to Hot Folders.
Remote Scan version 5.3 and 5.4 on Mac OS X
To quit Remote Scan version 5.3 and 5.4 on a Mac OS X computer, use your mouse to close
the Remote Scan application window. You cannot quit the application from the main menu
or by pressing Command+Q.
Finishing on Mac OS X
With any combination of Duplex and Staple settings for a job printed from a Mac OS X
computer, the staple position and duplex direction on the output may not be as expected.
If this occurs, specify the desired image direction in the orientation override of the E-5000/
E-3000 printer driver.
Custom size printing
Maximum custom size is set as follows:
Inch: 12" x 23.62"
Millimeter: 304.9mm x 599.9 mm
Printing on Mac OS
When you print from an application by clicking the Print button, the print options are not
displayed. Choose Print from the File menu instead.

Canceling multiple jobs


When you cancel multiple jobs with Command WorkStation, it may take an unexpectedly
long time to complete the cancellation process.
Similarly, when you cancel Booklet Maker jobs or jobs with a large number of pages, it may
take an unexpectedly long time to complete the cancellation process.
Preview While Processing
It may take an unexpectedly long time to cancel a job or to move it from Active Jobs
to Printed Jobs in Command WorkStation when Preview While Processing is enabled in
E-5000/E-3000 Setup.
Adobe PageMaker
When the job properties for a job printed with Adobe PageMaker PPD are opened in
Command WorkStation, a set value might not be correctly displayed.
Printing Groups
The Printing Groups feature is not supported, although it is described in Command
WorkStation Help. Printing Groups has been replaced by User Authentication, which is set
in the printer driver, if it has been enabled in E-5000/E-3000 Setup. For information about
User Authentication, see Configuration and Setup and Print Options.
Backing up and restoring fonts
With Command WorkStation, you can back up and restore fonts. This feature is described
incorrectly in Command WorkStation Help.
Observe these guidelines before backing up or restoring fonts:
Back up and restore only PostScript fonts.
All fonts are backed up or restored. You cannot select individual fonts.
Do not back up fonts to an internal hard disk that also contains the E-5000/E-3000
system software.
Restore fonts only to the E-5000/E-3000 from which the fonts were originally backed up.
TO BACK UP OR RESTORE FONTS
1 Start Command WorkStation and log on with Administrator privileges.
2 Choose Manage Fonts from the Server menu.
3 Click Backup or Restore.
4 In the window that appears, navigate to the folder where you want to back up the fonts or
restore them.
5 Click OK.

No error message for unsupported resolutions

The E-5000/E-3000 may not return to Idle after the USB media drive is inserted. This may
occur when the USB drive has been formatted in Windows, which sometimes causes the
E-5000/E-3000 to try to boot off the drive. If this occurs, clear the first sector without
formatting the drive.

When you send an Internet Fax with 100 dpi or 600 dpi (dots per inch), the scanning
software does not alert you that these resolutions are not supported. The currently supported
scan resolutions are 200 dpi, 300, or 400 dpi.

Remote Scan

Limits on scan size


The limit on the file size of a scanned job is 2GB. If you attempt to scan a large job that
results in a file greater than 2GB, the scan fails. As a workaround, split large scan jobs into
smaller batches.
Split Mode
When using Split mode settings with Remote Scan, you may find that Remote Scan never
completes the scan. To complete a scan job, push the # key on the copier display panel.

Rsolution des conflits entre options dimpression dans le pilote


dimprimante Mac OS X v10.4
Lorsque vous modifiez les options dimpression dans le pilote dimprimante Mac OS X v10.4,
notamment dans la sous-fentre Fonctions dimprimante, les conflits entre options ne sont pas
rsolus correctement.
Par exemple, pour pouvoir slectionner un paramtre pour loption dimpression Cration de
brochures, vous devez auparavant activer loption dimpression Recto verso. Les paramtres de
loption Cration de brochures dpendent de loption Recto verso.
Dans les versions antrieures de Mac OS, les conflits entre options dimpression taient
automatiquement corrigs. Pour rsoudre les conflits entre options dimpression dans la sousfentre Fonctions dimprimante, procdez comme suit :
POUR RSOUDRE LES CONFLITS ENTRE OPTIONS DIMPRESSION DANS LA SOUS-FENTRE
FONCTIONS DIMPRIMANTE
1 Slectionnez une autre sous-fentre.

Par exemple, si vous vous trouviez dans la sous-fentre Fonctions dimprimante, slectionnez
la sous-fentre Rsum.
Une fois que vous avez actualis la sous-fentre Fonctions dimprimante, vous pouvez
constater que les options dimpression affiches ne correspondent pas au groupe de Modles
de rglages slectionn. Par exemple, si le dernier modle de rglages que vous avez modifi
tait Image 1, il saffiche avec les options dimpression du premier groupe de Modles de
rglages, savoir Finition 1.
2 Slectionnez nouveau le groupe de Modles de rglages (par exemple, Image 1) afin
dactualiser les options dimpression affiches.
3 Slectionnez les options dimpression appropries et imprimez la tche.

Hot Folders v2.x su Mac OS 10.4.x


Hot Folders v2.x su un computer Mac OS 10.4.x locale o unubicazione di rete potrebbe non
riconoscere il formato dei file inviati anche se questo corretto e valido. Ci si verifica
comunemente se i file si trovano in una cartella di rete accessibile tramite AFP (Apple Filing
Protocol) e non si verifica se i file si trovano in una cartella di rete accessibile tramite SMB.
Per ovviare a questo problema, impostare tutti i file di Hot Folders inviati con le
autorizzazioni in lettura e scrittura o lettura.
Se i file si trovano sulla rete, spostarli sul computer locale, modificare le autorizzazioni dei
file, quindi inviarli nuovamente a Hot Folders.
Se si usa un computer Mac OS, necessario prima annullare la protezione e modificare le
autorizzazioni del file. Salvare il nuovo file come non protetto o proteggere nuovamente il
file e salvare gli attributi.
Se i file si trovano sul computer locale, controllare e modificare le autorizzazioni del file in
base alle necessit, quindi inviare i file a Hot Folders.

Lange Dateinamen bei PCL5c


Wenn Sie mit dem PCL5c-Druckertreiber ein Dokument mit einem langen Dateinamen
drucken, kann es geschehen, dass der Name des Dokuments auf einem extra Blatt gedruckt
wird.
Finishing-Sets mit eingefgten Leerseiten
Wenn Sie mit der Funktion fr gemischte Medien fr einen zu heftenden Auftrag veranlassen,
dass jedes definierte Kapitel als separates Finishing-Set behandelt wird, und im Anschluss
daran vor jedem definierten Kapitel eine Leerseite einfgen, wird der Auftrag nicht in der
erwnschten Weise geheftet. Kombinieren Sie fr einen Auftrag nie die Option Jedes Kapitel
als separates Finishing-Set definieren mit der Option Neuer Einleger / Leerseite einfgen.
Aktualisieren der Optionen fr installiertes Zubehr im Druckertreiber fr
Windows 2000/XP
Wenn Sie im Druckertreiber fr Windows 2000/XP die Option Fiery Driver beim ffnen
aktualisieren aktivieren, wird die Liste der installierten Optionen nicht richtig aktualisiert.
Damit die tatschlich installierten Optionen im Druckertreiber richtig angezeigt werden,
mssen Sie nach dem Aktivieren der Option Fiery Driver beim ffnen aktualisieren
zustzlich auf Aktualisieren klicken.
Bildglttung
Wenn Sie fr die Druckoption Bildglttung die Einstellung Druckerstandard whlen,
entspricht dies der Festlegung Bildglttung = Aus.
Fehler wegen zu vieler zu verarbeitender Auftrge in Warteschlange
Wenn die Anzahl der zu verarbeitenden Auftrge in der Warteschlange des E-5000/E-3000
dem Maximum von 2.500 Auftrgen nahekommt, akzeptiert der E-5000/E-3000 keine
weiteren Auftrge mehr. In dieser Situation wird eine Fehlermeldung generiert.
Drucken groer Dateien
Ein Auftrag, der grer als 4 GB ist, kann nicht im Ganzen gedruckt werden. Sie mssen
einen solchen Auftrag in Seitenbereiche unterteilen und diese Seitenbereiche drucken,
wobei die so gebildeten Auftrge kleiner als 2 GB sein mssen.

FreeForm Auftrge und Dokumentenserver


Damit Sie einen FreeForm an die Komponente Dokumentenserver des E-5000/E-3000
senden knnen, mssen Sie die Option Dokumentenserver aktivieren, bevor Sie die
FreeForm Master-Datei erstellen. Anderenfalls wird der betreffende Auftrag nicht gedruckt
und ein Fehler im Auftragsprotokoll vermerkt.
Dokumentenserver
Bei Verwendung des Dokumentenservers knnen Dokumente mit der Gre
12 Inch x 18 Inch oder mit einer eigenen (benutzerdefinierten) Seitengre
gespeichert werden.
EFI Impose und Dokumentenserver
Es ist nicht mglich, einen ausgeschossenen Auftrag auf dem Dokumentenserver zu
speichern. Der Dokumentenserver untersttzt das Ausschieen mit Impose nicht.
Drucken mit Dokumentenserver
Die Standardeinstellung fr die Option Qualittsmodus ist Extrafein. Beim Senden
eines Dokuments an den Dokumentenserver fhrt die Einstellung Extrafein dazu, dass ein
sehr groer Bereich auf der Festplatte bentigt wird. In bestimmten Situationen empfiehlt es
sich daher, anstelle von Extrafein die Einstellung Fein oder Grob zu verwenden. Die
Einstellungen der Option Qualittsmodus wirken sich wie folgt aus:
Extrafein: Sehr groer Festplattenbedarf
Fein: Mittlerer Festplattenbedarf
Grob: Geringer Festplattenbedarf
Drucken von Haarlinien
Es ist mglich, dass Haarlinien in einem Dokument berhaupt nicht oder stark gezackt
gedruckt werden oder dass das Druckergebnis in anderer Weise von der erwarteten Ausgabe
abweicht. Sie knnen dieses Problem beheben, wenn Sie auf der Seite Bild des Druckertreibers fr die Option Aufrasterung die Einstellung Text whlen.
Booten des Systems whrend laufender Druckausgabe
Wenn Sie versuchen, das System neu zu booten, solange der E-5000/E-3000 einen Auftrag
druckt, kann es zu unerwarteten Druckergebnissen kommen. Warten Sie stets, bis die Statusmeldung Bereit erscheint, bevor Sie das erneute Booten des Systems veranlassen.

Seite 61

Bildoffset
Fr einen Auftrag mit Mehrfachlayout (n-fach, mehrere Seiten pro Blatt) sind Bildoffseteinstellungen ungltig.
Heften von Dokumenten mit verschieden groen Seiten
Das Heften von Dokumenten mit verschieden groen Seiten wird nur vom Finisher
SR3020/SR3030 fr den E-5000 untersttzt. Bei Verwendung eines anderen Finishers
kann diese Festlegung zu unerwarteten Ergebnissen fhren.
Virtuelle Drucker
Im Falle eines virtuellen Druckers werden in den Auftragseigenschaften die Einstellungen fr
gemischte Medien nicht richtig angezeigt. Verwenden Sie daher die Anwendung Command
WorkStation, wenn Sie diese Einstellungen prfen oder ndern wollen. Schlieen Sie das
Fenster Auftragseigenschaften eines virtuellen Druckers, falls Sie es versehentlich geffnet
haben, indem Sie auf Abbrechen klicken. Klicken Sie nicht auf OK.

Broschrenerstellung

Ausgabe von Auftrgen mit NOBI-Gren als Broschre


Wenn Sie fr einen ausgeschossenen Auftrag eine benutzerdefinierte Seitengre (NOBIGre) festlegen und diesen Auftrag als Broschre drucken, erfolgt die Ausgabe nicht in
der gewnschten Weise. Eigene (benutzerdefinierte) Seitengren werden nicht untersttzt.
Fr Auftrge dieses Typs mssen Sie eine der verfgbaren Papiergren whlen.
Standardbroschrenerstellung und Mehrfachlayout (n-fach)
Fr Auftrge mit Mehrfachlayout (n) wird die Ausgabe als Standardbroschre nicht
untersttzt.
Ausschieen
Wenn Sie fr einen Auftrag, fr den gemischte Medien verwendet werden, die Option
Broschrenerstellung aktivieren (indem Sie die Einstellung Rckenheftung, Klebebindung, Sammelform - Schnelldruck oder Sammelform - Doppeldruck whlen),
kann es zu unerwarteten Ergebnissen kommen. Es ist mglich, dass Auftrge, fr die Sie die
Option Broschrenerstellung verwenden, nicht an den erwarteten Stellen geheftet oder
gelocht werden. Die Option Broschrenerstellung und die Festlegung Heften = 2 in Mitte
knnen unabhngig voneinander eingestellt werden. Wenn Sie ein Dokument, das in der
Anwendung ausgeschossen wurde, als Broschre heften wollen, mssen Sie fr die Option
Heften die Einstellung 2 in Mitte whlen.

Seite 62

Optionen Duplexdruck und Broschrenerstellung = Schnelldruck/Doppeldruck


fr Auftrge im Querformat
Wenn Sie einen Auftrag im Querformat doppelseitig drucken und fr ihn die Einstellung
Sammelform = Doppeldruck oder Sammelform = Schnelldruck (fr die Option
Broschrenerstellung) whlen, wird nicht die von Ihnen gewhlte Binderichtung
verwendet. Beispiel:
Wenn Sie fr die Option Duplexdruck die Einstellung Nach oben ffnen whlen,
wird fr die Ausgabe tatschlich die Einstellung Nach links ffnen verwendet.
Wenn Sie Nach links ffnen whlen, wird fr die Ausgabe tatschlich die Einstellung
Nach oben ffnen verwendet.
Fr die Festlegung Broschrenerstellung = Sammelform -Doppeldruck kann die Option
Ausrichtung berschreiben auf der Seite Layout des Druckertreibers als Abhilfe verwendet
werden.
Einschrnkungen fr Broschrenerstellung
Fr die Option Broschrenerstellung gelten die folgenden Einschrnkungen:
Leerseiten, die infolge der fr die Broschrenerstellung gewhlten Einstellungen in ein
Auftragsdokument eingefgt werden, werden als gedruckte S/W-Seiten gezhlt.
Fr einen Auftrag, fr den Einstellungen fr die Broschrenerstellung festgelegt werden,
stehen Optionen wie Skalieren, Passend skalieren und Anpassen zum Drucken
(auf der Seite Layout im Fenster Auftragseigenschaften) nicht zur Verfgung.
Wenn Sie fr die Option Broschrenerstellung die Einstellung Sammelform Schnelldruck whlen, stehen die Optionen fr den Broschreneinband (Titelund Abschlussblatt) nicht zur Verfgung.
Fr eine Adobe PDF-Datei, fr die Sicherheitseinstellungen festgelegt wurden, knnen
keine Einstellungen fr die Broschrenerstellung gewhlt werden.
Fr einen Auftrag, fr den Einstellungen fr die Broschrenerstellung festgelegt wurden,
kann die FreeForm Option Weien PPT-Hintergrund entfernen nicht verwendet
werden.
Die Druckausgabe eines umfangreichen Auftrags, fr den die Festlegung Broschrenerstellung = Sammelform - Doppeldruck gewhlt wurde, kann lngere Zeit dauern.
Wenn Sie eine sehr groe Zahl von Dokumenten als Broschren drucken, kann sich die
jeweilige Druckdauer deutlich verlngern.

Seite 63

Einschrnkungen fr direkte Verbindung


Auf der Festplatte werden keine Auftrge und keinerlei Informationen von Auftrgen gespeichert, die an die direkte Verbindung gesendet werden. Bei Verwendung der direkten Verbindung knnen daher keine Rasterdaten von Auftragsdokumenten oder Auftragsseiten auf der
Festplatte gespeichert werden. Dies wiederum hat zur Folge, dass keine Operationen mglich
sind, die den Zugriff auf die Festplatte erfordern. Zu diesen Operationen zhlen:
Spoolen fr PDF-Auftrge
PDF-Auftrge mssen auf der Festplatte gespeichert werden, da das Interpretermodul
freien Zugriff auf die Datei haben muss. Die meisten PDF-Auftrge knnen nicht wie
PostScript als ein Datenstrom verarbeitet werden. PDF-Auftrge, die mithilfe der
Anwendung Command WorkStation oder des Druckertreibers an die direkte Verbindung
gesendet werden, werden in die Warteschlange Drucken umgeleitet. PDF-Auftrge, die
ber LPR an die direkte Verbindung gesendet werden, werden erfolglos abgebrochen.
Drucken von VDP-Auftrgen ber direkte Verbindung
VDP-Auftrge, die an die direkte Verbindung gesendet werden, werden an die Warteschlange Drucken umgeleitet. (Weitere Informationen finden Sie im Dokument
Variabler Datendruck auf der CD-ROM mit der Anwenderdokumentation.)
Drucken umfangreicher Auftrge mit rcklufiger Seitenfolge
Fr die Ausgabe in rcklufiger Seitenfolge muss der komplette Auftrag vor Beginn der
Druckausgabe verarbeitet werden. Ein Auftrag, der zu gro fr die Speicherung im
Arbeitsspeicher ist, wird zwar (in rcklufiger Seitenfolge) gedruckt; allerdings werden
die Seiten auf der Festplatte gespeichert.
Exemplarweises Drucken umfangreicher Auftrge
Das exemplarweise Drucken wird aus dem gleichen Grund nicht untersttzt, aus dem
die rcklufige Seitenfolge nicht untersttzt wird. Aus diesem Grund wird fr Auftrge,
die an die direkte Verbindung gesendet werden, die Option fr das exemplarweise
Drucken deaktiviert.
FreeForm Auftrge und folgende PPD-Optionen:
Broschrenerstellung
Separationen berdrucken
Sichern fr erneute Ausgabe
Seitenfolge
Duplexdruck
Exemplarweise drucken
Master-Datei erstellen
Master-Datei verwenden

Seite 64

WebTools

Erstellen von Mailboxen


Wenn Sie mit der Komponente Configure der WebTools eine Mailbox fr die Verwendung
von LDAP und der globalen Adressliste erstellen, mssen Sie den Benutzerdomnennamen
eingeben. Wenn Sie den Benutzerdomnennamen (z.B.<Domnenname>/:<Benutzer>) nicht
eingeben, erkennt der E-5000/E-3000 den Namen der Mailbox nicht.
Service Location Protocol (SLP)
SLP (Service Location Protocol) kann nicht mithilfe der Komponente Configure der
WebTools konfiguriert werden. Sie knnen SLP ber das Kopiererdisplay konfigurieren.
Fenster mit EULA-Informationen
Wenn in der Komponente Configure der WebTools der Versuch scheitert, die Verbindung zu
PrintMe herzustellen, wird ein leeres Fenster angezeigt; in diesem Fenster werden ansonsten
die EULA-Informationen angezeigt. Sie knnen dieses Fenster ignorieren und es durch
Klicken auf Abbrechen schlieen.
Komponente Downloads der WebTools
Wenn Sie Windows-Software herunterladen, kann es geschehen, dass der Name der betreffenden Software nicht richtig angezeigt wird, wenn die Sprache von der Sprache abweicht,
die aktuell fr den E-5000/E-3000 konfiguriert ist. In diesem Fall mssen Sie die bentigte
Software von der CD-ROM Anwendersoftware (PS-Treiber) bzw. von der CD-ROM
Anwendersoftware (Utilities) installieren.
Internet Explorer 7
Wenn Sie die Web Tools ber Internet Explorer 7 ausfhren, werden Sie mglicherweise
gezwungen, Internet Explorer zu beenden.

Online-Hilfe

Hilfedateien
Die Online-Hilfe fr die Fiery Dienstprogramme wurde fr Microsoft Internet Explorer v5.5
und neuere Versionen entwickelt. Wenn Sie zum Anzeigen der Online-Hilfe andere Browser
(z.B. Safari) oder frhere Versionen von Internet Explorer verwenden, kann es zu fehlerhaften
Darstellungen im Hilfetextfenster kommen.

Seite 65

Wenn Sie die Hilfedateien mit Microsoft Internet Explorer auf einem Computer anzeigen, auf
dem Windows XP Service Pack 2 installiert ist, kann es in folgenden Situationen geschehen,
dass die Hilfedateien nicht oder nicht richtig angezeigt werden:
Wenn im Browser ein Popupblocker aktiviert ist, kann es geschehen, dass die
Hilfedateien abgeblockt werden. In diesem Fall mssen Sie den Popupblocker
vorbergehend deaktivieren.
Wenn im Browser die erweiterte Option zum Anzeigen von Skriptfehlern aktiviert ist,
kann es geschehen, dass ein Fenster mit einer Warnung angezeigt wird, bevor die OnlineHilfe geffnet und angezeigt wird. Sie knnen diese Warnung umgehen, indem Sie im
Dialogfenster Internetoptionen auf der Registerkarte Erweitert die Option Skriptfehler anzeigen deaktivieren.
Es ist auerdem mglich, dass in der Statusleiste eine Warnung angezeigt wird. Dieser
Fehler hat aber keine Auswirkung auf den Inhalt oder die Darstellung der Hilfedateien.
Safari
Wenn Sie die Hilfedateien mit Safari auf einem Mac OS X Computer anzeigen, kann es in
folgenden Situationen geschehen, dass die Hilfedateien nicht oder nicht richtig angezeigt
werden:
Wenn Sie auf einem Mac OS X System im Browser Safari die Online-Hilfe fr Hot
Folders anfordern, kann es geschehen, dass die Online-Hilfedateien nicht richtig geladen
werden und die Meldung erscheint, dass die Daten geladen werden, ohne dass aber die
Hilfeinformationen tatschlich angezeigt werden. In diesem Fall mssen Sie Safari
beenden und die Hilfe neu anfordern. Falls sich das Problem dadurch nicht beheben
lsst, mssen Sie Internet Explorer v5.5 (oder eine neuere Version) fr die Anzeige der
Hilfeinformationen verwenden.
Wenn Sie auf einem Mac OS X Computer im Browser Safari die Online-Hilfe zur
Anwendung Command WorkStation anzeigen und darin den Cursor zu einem
bestimmten Element bewegen, kann es geschehen, dass rechts neben dem Element
eine Rahmenlinie eingeblendet wird.
Wenn Sie die Version 1.2 oder 1.3 des Browsers Safari auf einem System unter
Mac OS X v10.3.x verwenden, werden im Startbildschirm der Online-Hilfe zur
Anwendung Command WorkStation die Optionen Weiter, Zurck und Im Inhalt
anzeigen falsch angezeigt. Dieses Problem tritt nicht auf, wenn Sie das Betriebssystem
Mac OS X v10.4.5 in Verbindung mit Safari v2.0.3 verwenden oder alternativ Internet
Explorer Version 5.5 (oder eine neuere Version) verwenden.

Seite 66

Windows

Darstellung der Registerkarte Zubehr


Bei einer fehlerhaften Darstellung der Druckereigenschaften im Druckertreiber fr den
E-5000/E-3000 mssen Sie mithilfe des Objekts Anzeige in der Windows-Systemsteuerung
die Auflsung oder die Farbqualitt auf einen niedrigeren Wert setzen.
Speichern benutzerdefinierter Seitengren
Im E-5000/E-3000 Druckertreiber fr Windows XP ist es nicht mglich, eine benutzerdefinierte Seitengre fr die sptere Verwendung zu definieren.

Mac OS X

Bildoffset beim Duplexdruck


Wenn Sie Bildoffseteinstellungen fr einen doppelseitig zu druckenden Auftrag mit mehr als
zwei Seiten festlegen, kann es geschehen, dass das Druckbild der dritten Auftragsseite verzerrt
wird. Dieses Fehlverhalten, fr das es derzeit keine Lsungsmglichkeit gibt, wird durch den
Mac OS X Druckertreiber verursacht.
Medieneinstellungen Schwer1 und Schwer2 und Option Heften
Im Druckertreiber fr Mac OS X knnen Sie fr die Option Medium die Einstellung
Schwer 1 oder Schwer 2, auch wenn die Option Heften aktiviert wurde. Diese
Kombination von Optionseinstellungen wird aber nicht untersttzt.
Speichern eines Auftrags als PDF- oder PS-Datei
Wenn Sie fr einen Auftrag Bildoffseteinstellungen festlegen und die doppelseitige Ausgabe
veranlassen, danach diesen Auftrag als PDF- oder als PostScript-Datei (PS) speichern und
anschlieend drucken, wird der Auftrag einseitig und ohne Bercksichtigung der festgelegten
Bildoffseteinstellungen gedruckt. Wenn Sie den Auftrag mit den betreffenden Einstellungen
ber den Druckertreiber direkt an den Druckserver senden, d.h. ohne ihn als PDF- oder PSDatei zu speichern, wird er wie erwartet unter Verwendung der festgelegten Einstellungen
ausgegeben.
Beheben von Druckoptionskonflikten im Druckertreiber fr Mac OS X v10.4
Wenn Sie im Druckertreiber fr Mac OS X v10.4 (speziell auf der Seite Druckeroptionen)
Druckoptionen ndern, werden Konflikte bei den Druckoptionen nicht korrekt aufgelst.
Wenn Sie z.B. eine Einstellung fr die Option Broschrenerstellung whlen wollen, muss
zuvor die gewnschte Einstellung fr die Option Duplexdruck gewhlt werden, damit
fr die Option Broschrenerstellung die richtigen Einstellungen angeboten werden. Das
bedeutet: Die fr die Option Broschrenerstellung angebotenen Einstellungen sind
abhngig von der Einstellung, die Sie fr die Option Duplexdruck whlen.
In frheren Mac OS Versionen wurden Konflikte bei den Druckoptionen automatisch
behoben. Fhren Sie die folgenden Schritte aus, damit Konflikte zwischen Druckoptionen
auf den Seiten der Rubrik Druckeroptionen behoben werden.

Hot Folders v2.x unter Mac OS 10.4.x


Bei Dateien, die lokal von einem Mac OS 10.4.x Computer oder von einem Speicherort im
Netzwerk aus an die Anwendung Hot Folders v2.x bergeben werden, wird in bestimmten
Fllen das Format der bergebenen Auftrge nicht erkannt, obwohl die Dateien korrekt und
gltig sind. Dieses Problem tritt in der Regel auf, wenn sich die Dateien in einem Netzwerkordner befinden, auf den ber AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) zugegriffen wird. Dieses Problem
tritt nicht auf, wenn sich die Dateien in einem Netzwerkordner befinden, auf den ber SMB
zugegriffen wird.
Sie knnen dieses Problem umgehen, wenn Sie fr alle an einen berwachten Ordner
bergebenen Dateien die Schreib-/Leseberechtigung oder die Leseberechtigung einrichten.
Wenn sich Ihre Dateien im Netzwerk befinden, mssen Sie sie auf Ihren lokalen
Computer kopieren, die Dateiberechtigungen ndern und danach die Dateien erneut
an die Anwendung Hot Folders bergeben.
Wenn Sie auf einem Mac OS Computer arbeiten, mssen Sie zunchst die Sperre der
Dateien aufheben und im Anschluss daran die Dateiberechtigungen ndern. Speichern
Sie die neuen Dateiattribute ohne Sperre, oder sperren Sie die Datei wieder und speichern
Sie danach erst die Attribute.
Wenn sich die Dateien auf Ihrem lokalen Computer befinden, berprfen und ndern
Sie gegebenenfalls die Dateiberechtigungen und bergeben Sie danach die Dateien an den
berwachten Ordner.
Remote Scan Version 5.3 und 5.4 unter Mac OS X
Unter Mac OS X knnen Sie das Anwendungsfenster von Remote Scan Version 5.3 oder 5.4
nur mithilfe der Maus schlieen. Sie knnen die Anwendung nicht im Hauptmen oder mit
der Tastenkombination Befehl+Q beenden.
Weiterverarbeitungsoptionen unter Mac OS X
Bei einem Auftrag, der von einem Mac OS X Computer gesendet wird, kann es bei jeder
Kombination von Duplexdruck- und Hefteinstellungen dazu kommen, dass die Heftpositionen und die Ausrichtung der doppelseitig gedruckten Seiten nicht den Erwartungen
entsprechen. Im Falle einer solchen Abweichung knnen Sie die gewnschte Bildrichtung
mithilfe der Option Ausrichtung berschreiben im Druckertreiber fr den E-5000/E-3000
festlegen.
Eigene Seitengren
Die Maximalwerte fr eine eigene (benutzerdefinierte) Seitengre sind:
Inch: 12" x 23,62"
Millimeter: 304,9mm x 599,9 mm

Seite 75

Wenn Sie in einer Anwendung auf das Symbol Drucken klicken, werden die Druckoptionen nicht richtig angezeigt. Whlen Sie daher Drucken im Men Datei.

Anwendung
Command
WorkStation

Abbrechen mehrerer Auftrge


Wenn Sie in der Anwendung Command WorkStation mehrere Auftrge gleichzeitig
abbrechen, kann der Abbruchvorgang unerwartet lange dauern.
Auch das Abbrechen von als Broschren zu druckenden Auftrgen und von Auftrgen
mit einer sehr groen Anzahl von Seiten kann unerwartet lange dauern.
Vorschau whrend RIP-Verarbeitung
Wenn beim Setup des E-5000/E-3000 die Option RIP-Vorschau aktiviert wurde, kann es
in der Anwendung Command WorkStation unerwartet lange dauern, bis ein abgebrochener
Auftrag aus der Liste Aktive Auftrge entfernt wird und in der Liste Gedruckte Auftrge
erscheint.
Adobe PageMaker
Wenn Sie in der Anwendung Command WorkStation die Auftragseigenschaften eines
Auftrags anzeigen, der mithilfe der PPD-Datei fr Adobe PageMaker erstellt wurde, kann es
geschehen, dass bestimmte in PageMaker festgelegte Werte nicht richtig angezeigt werden.
Druckgruppen
Druckgruppen werden nicht untersttzt, obgleich die Funktion in der Online-Hilfe der
Command WorkStation beschrieben wird. Die Druckgruppenfunktion wurde durch die
Funktion fr die Anwenderauthentisierung ersetzt. Sofern diese Funktion beim Setup
des E-5000/E-3000 aktiviert wurde, kann die Authentisierung direkt im Druckertreiber
vorgenommen werden. Informationen zur Anwenderauthentisierung finden Sie in den
Dokumenten Konfiguration und Setup und Druckoptionen.
Sichern und Wiederherstellen von Zeichenstzen/Schriften
Mit der Anwendung Command WorkStation knnen Sie Sicherungskopien von Zeichenstzen/Schriften erstellen und wiederherstellen. Diese Funktion wird in der Online-Hilfe
der Anwendung Command WorkStation allerdings falsch beschrieben.

Seite 76

Beachten Sie die folgenden Punkte, bevor Sie Zeichenstze/Schriften sichern und
wiederherstellen:
Sie knnen nur PostScript- Zeichenstze/Schriften sichern und wiederherstellen.
Es werden immer alle Zeichenstze/Schriften gesichert oder wiederhergestellt. Sie knnen
keine einzelnen Zeichenstze/Schriften whlen.
Sichern Sie die Zeichenstze/Schriften nicht auf der internen Festplatte, auf der sich die
Systemsoftware des E-5000/E-3000 befindet.
Sie knnen gesicherte Zeichenstze/Schriften nur auf dem E-5000/E-3000 wiederherstellen, fr den die Zeichenstze/Schriften ursprnglich gesichert wurden.
SICHERUNGSKOPIE

VON ZEICHENSTZEN/SCHRIFTEN ERSTELLEN ODER WIEDERHERSTELLEN

1 Starten Sie die Anwendung Command WorkStation und melden Sie sich als Administrator an.
2 Whlen Sie Schriftenverwaltung im Men Server.
3 Klicken Sie auf Sichern bzw. Wiederherstellen.
4 Navigieren Sie im daraufhin angezeigten Fenster zu dem Ordner, in dem Sie die Zeichenstze/
Schriften sichern bzw. aus dem Sie eine Sicherungskopie wiederherstellen wollen.
5 Klicken Sie auf OK.

Option Composite-Ausgabe berdrucken


Wenn Sie in der Anwendung Command WorkStation fr einen Duotone-Auftrag die Option
Composite-Ausgabe berdrucken aktivieren und danach fr diesen Auftrag die Option
Verarbeiten und halten whlen, werden bei der Darstellung des Auftrags in ImageViewer
die Duotone-Farbinformationen des Auftrags nicht richtig wiedergegeben.

Spanisch als Systemsprache
Wenn Sie auf einem Mac OS X Computer fr die ColorWise Pro Tools die Verbindung zu
einem E-5000/E-3000 herstellen, fr den Spanisch als Systemsprache konfiguriert ist, werden
bestimmte Menoptionen flschlicherweise in Franzsisch (nicht in Spanisch) angezeigt.

Externe
Verbindungen

Verbindung zu USB-Gert
Es kann geschehen, dass nach dem Anschlieen eines USB-Laufwerks der E-5000/E-3000
nicht mehr in den Status Bereit zurckkehrt. Dies kann geschehen, wenn das betreffende
USB-Laufwerk unter Windows formatiert wurde, da der E-5000/E-3000 in diesem Fall
gelegentlich versucht, von diesem Laufwerk zu booten. Um dieses Problem zu beheben,
mssen Sie den ersten Sektor des Laufwerks lschen, ohne aber das Laufwerk zu formatieren.

Fehlende Fehlermeldung bei nicht untersttzten Auflsungen


Wenn Sie versuchen, ein Internetfax mit einer Auflsung von 100 dpi oder 600 dpi (dots per

Auflsungen nicht untersttzt werden. Aktuell werden die Auflsungen 200 dpi, 300 dpi

Remote Scan

Grenbeschrnkungen fr Scandateien
Ein gescannter Auftrag darf eine maximale Dateigre von 2 GB haben. Das Scannen einer
umfangreichen Vorlage, die zu einer Datei mit einer Gre ber 2 GB fhrt, wird erfolglos
abgebrochen. Teilen Sie einen groen Scanauftrag in kleiner Teilauftrge, um Probleme zu
vermeiden.
Vorlagenmodus
Wenn Sie bei Verwendung von Remote Scan Einstellungen fr den Vorlagenmodus festlegen,
ist Remote Scan mglicherweise nicht in der Lage, den Scanvorgang abzuschlieen. Um in
diesem Fall den Scanvorgang abzuschlieen, mssen Sie auf dem Kopiererdisplay die Taste
mit dem Nummernzeichen (#) drcken.

Impresin dplex con Desplazamiento de imagen


Cuando se utiliza la opcin Desplazamiento de imagen con valores de impresin dplex
(impresin a dos caras) en un trabajo de ms de dos pginas, la imagen de la tercera pgina
puede aparecer deformada. Este problema es causado por el controlador de impresora para
Mac OS X y no hay solucin temporal en este momento.
Tipos de papel Grueso 1 y Grueso 2 con engrapado
Puede seleccionar el Tipo de papel Grueso 1 y Grueso 2 cuando se selecciona el engrapado
desde el controlador de impresora para Mac OS X. Sin embargo, esta combinacin de
impresin no se admite.
Guardar archivos PDF o PS
Cuando se utiliza el Desplazamiento de imagen con valores de impresin dplex (impresin
a dos caras), se guarda el archivo como PDF o PostScript y a continuacin se imprime el
archivo, el trabajo se imprime a una cara sin los valores de Desplazamiento de imagen. Si
imprime con estos valores en el controlador sin guardar el archivo como PS o PDF, el trabajo
se imprime con los valores correctos.
Resolucin de los conflictos de opciones de impresin en el controlador de
impresora para Mac OS X v10.4
Cuando se cambian las opciones de impresin en el controlador de impresora para Mac OS X
v10.4, especficamente en el panel Caractersticas, los conflictos de opciones de impresin no
se solucionan adecuadamente.
Por ejemplo, para seleccionar un valor para la opcin de impresin Creador de cuadernillos,
debe configurar la opcin Dplex (impresin a dos caras) con el valor S para que las opciones
de impresin de Creador de cuadernillos estn disponibles para su seleccin. Las opciones de
Creador de cuadernillos dependen de la opcin Dplex (impresin a dos caras).
En versiones anteriores de Mac OS, los conflictos de opciones de impresin se corregan
automticamente. Para solucionar los conflictos de las opciones de impresin en el panel
Caractersticas, utilice el siguiente procedimiento:

PARA RESOLVER LOS CONFLICTOS DE OPCIONES DE IMPRESIN EN EL PANEL CARACTERSTICAS


1 Seleccione un panel diferente.

Por ejemplo, si estaba en el panel Caractersticas, seleccione el panel Resumen.


Despus de actualizar el panel Caractersticas, hay una no correspondencia entre el grupo
de caractersticas seleccionado y las opciones de impresin que se muestran. Por ejemplo,
si el ltimo conjunto de caractersticas que modific era Imagen 1, ahora se muestra con
las opciones de impresin del primer conjunto de caractersticas, Terminacin 1.
2 Vuelva a seleccionar el grupo de conjunto de caractersticas (por ejemplo, Imagen 1) para
actualizar las opciones de impresin que se muestran.
3 Seleccione las opciones de impresin adecuadas e imprima el trabajo.

de rug geniet, Op de rug gesneden, Dubbele afdruk, en Snel afdrukken, kan dat leiden tot
onverwachte afdrukresultaten. Het kan zijn dat afdruktaken met de optie Boekje maken niet
juist worden geniet of geperforeerd. Boekje maken en 2 midden kunt u afzonderlijk instellen.
Als u het document dat wordt ingeslagen in een boekje wilt nieten, selecteert u alleen de
optie 2 midden onder de afdrukoptie Nieten.
Liggende gegevens met dubbelzijdig afdrukken en de instelling Dubbele afdruk/
Snel afdrukken
Als u de optie Dubbelzijdig afdrukken met Dubbele afdruk/Snel afdrukken selecteert voor
liggende gegevens, zal de bindrichting van de afdruktaken het tegengestelde zijn van wat
u hebt geselecteerd. Bijvoorbeeld:
Als Openen naar boven geselecteerd is, wordt de taak afgedrukt in de richting
Openen naar links.
Als Openen naar links geselecteerd is, wordt de taak afgedrukt in de richting
Openen naar boven.
Voor de instelling Dubbele afdruk kunt u het probleem oplossen door Afdrukstand negeren
te gebruiken op het tabblad Lay-out van het printerstuurprogramma.

Beperkingen van Boekje maken


De volgende beperkingen gelden voor Boekje maken:
Wanneer blanco paginas worden ingevoegd in een taak als gevolg van het opgeven van
instellingen voor Boekje maken, worden de blanco paginas geteld als afgedrukte zwartwitpaginas.
Schaal, Passend maken of Aanpassen (op het tabblad Lay-out van het venster
Eigenschappen voor document) zijn niet van toepassing wanneer instellingen voor
Boekje maken worden gebruikt voor een taak.
Als u de instelling Snel afdrukken selecteert voor Boekje maken, zijn de instellingen
voor Boekjesomslag niet beschikbaar.
Er kunnen geen instellingen voor Boekje maken worden opgegeven voor een Adobe
PDF-bestand met beveiligingsinstellingen.
Wanneer u instellingen voor Boekje maken gebruikt, kan de optie Witte PPT-achtergrond
wissen op het tabblad FreeForm niet worden geselecteerd.
Het afdrukken van een grote taak met de instelling Dubbele afdruk voor Boekje maken
kan lang duren.
Wanneer u een groot aantal documenten afdrukt met Boekje maken, is het mogelijk dat
het afdrukken langer duurt dan u had verwacht.
Beperkingen van de directe verbinding
Taken, of informatie die verband houdt met taken, die naar de directe verbinding worden
verzonden, worden niet opgeslagen op de vaste schijf. Met de directe verbinding kunnen
taken of paginarasters niet worden opgeslagen op schijf. Daardoor zijn geen bewerkingen
mogelijk die toegang tot de schijf vereisen. Deze bewerkingen omvatten:
In de wachtrij plaatsen van PDF-taken
PDF-taken moeten worden opgeslagen op schijf omdat het interpretatieprogramma
directe toegang moet hebben tot het bestand. De meeste PDF-taken kunnen niet
worden verwerkt als een gegevensstroom zoals PostScript. PDF-taken die naar
de directe verbinding worden verzonden vanuit Command WorkStation of het
printerstuurprogramma worden omgeleid naar de afdrukwachtrij. PDF-taken die
naar de directe verbinding worden verzonden via LPR worden niet uitgevoerd.
Afdrukken van VDP-taken naar de directe verbinding
VDP-taken die naar de directe verbinding worden verzonden, worden omgeleid
naar de afdrukwachtrij. (Raadpleeg Variabele gegevens afdrukken op de cd met
gebruikersdocumentatie voor meer informatie.)

Pagina 103

Grote taken afdrukken in omgekeerde volgorde


Als u wilt afdrukken in omgekeerde volgorde, moet u de volledige taak verwerken voor het
afdrukken. Als de taak te groot is voor het geheugen, wordt ze niettemin (in omgekeerde
volgorde) afgedrukt, maar worden paginas opgeslagen op schijf.
Grote taken sorteren
Sorteren wordt niet ondersteund om dezelfde reden als het afdrukken in omgekeerde
volgorde. Houd er rekening mee dat Sorteren wordt uitgeschakeld voor taken die worden
afgedrukt naar de directe verbinding.
FreeForm-taken, met de volgende PPD-opties:

WebTools

Postvakken maken
Wanneer u in Configure een postvak maakt met LDAP en de Globale adreslijst, moet u de
domeinnaam van de gebruiker invullen. Als u de domeinnaam van de gebruiker niet toevoegt,
bijvoorbeeld, <Domeinnaam>/:<Gebruiker>, herkent de E-5000/E-3000 de naam van het
postvak niet.
Service Location Protocol
U kunt in de Configure Web Tool geen Service Location Protocol (SLP) instellen.
U kunt dit probleem omzeilen door SLP in te stellen via het scherm van de kopieermachine.
EULA-dialoogvenster
Als u met de Configure Web Tool geen verbinding kunt maken met PrintMe, verschijnt
een leeg dialoogvenster. Negeer dit dialoogvenster door op Annuleren te klikken.
Webdownloads
Wanneer u Windows-software downloadt, is het mogelijk dat de naam van de software
niet correct wordt weergeven, als de taal verschilt van de huidige taalconfiguratie van
de E-5000/E-3000. Installeer in dit geval de vereiste software van de cd User Software
(PS Printer Drivers) of cd User Software (Utilities).

Internet Explorer 7
Als u WebTools gebruikt in Internet Explorer 7, is het mogelijk dat u gedwongen wordt
om Internet Explorer te sluiten.

Help

Helpbestanden
De helpbestanden voor de Fiery-hulpprogrammas zijn ontwikkeld voor Microsoft Internet
Explorer v5.5 of later. Als u andere browsers, zoals Safari, of vorige versies van Internet
Explorer gebruikt, worden de helpbestanden mogelijk niet correct weergegeven.
Met Microsoft Internet Explorer op een Windows XP-computer met Service Pack 2 worden
de helpbestanden mogelijk niet of niet correct weergegeven in de volgende situaties:
Als uw browser een pop-upblokkeertoepassing gebruikt, kan deze helpbestanden
blokkeren. In dit geval moet u de pop-upblokkeertoepassing tijdelijk uitschakelen.
Als in uw browser de geavanceerde Internet-optie voor het weergeven van meldingen
over scriptfouten is ingeschakeld, verschijnt mogelijk een waarschuwingsvenster voordat
de pagina van het helpbestand wordt weergegeven. U kunt dit waarschuwingsvenster
vermijden door de optie Melding van elke scriptfout weergeven op het tabblad
Geavanceerd in het dialoogvenster Internet-opties uit te schakelen.
Er kan ook een waarschuwingsbericht worden weergegeven in de statusbalk, maar deze
fout heeft geen invloed op de inhoud van het helpbestand.
Safari
Met Safari op Mac OS X-systemen is het mogelijk dat helpbestanden niet of niet correct
worden weergegeven in de volgende situatie:
Wanneer u Hot Folders start met Safari op Mac OS X-computers, is het mogelijk dat de
helpbestanden niet correct worden geladen en dat de melding Loading data... (Gegevens
worden geladen) wordt weergeven terwijl er niets gebeurt. Sluit in dit geval Safari af en
start de helpbestanden opnieuw. Als het probleem aanhoudt, gebruikt u Internet
Explorer v5.5 of hoger.
Wanneer u Safari gebruikt op een Mac OS X-systeem en de muis op een item in
Command WorkStation Help plaatst, kan links van de afbeelding een kaderlijn
verschijnen.
Bij het gebruik van Safari v1.2 of v1.03 op Mac OS X-computers, worden de teksten
Volgende, Vorige en Show in Contents (In inhoud tonen) verkeerd weergegeven
in het eerste helpvenster van Command WorkStation.KL Als dit gebeurt, gebruikt u
Mac OS X 10.4.5 met Safari 2.0.3 of Internet Explorere v5.5 of later.

Windows

Weergave van het tabblad Accessoires


Als de printereigenschappen van het E-5000/E-3000-printerstuurprogramma niet correct
worden weergegeven, vermindert u ook de resolutie en de kleurkwaliteit in de weergaveeigenschappen op het configuratiescherm van de Windows-computer.
Aangepaste papierformaten opslaan
In het E-5000/E-3000-printerstuurprogramma in Windows XP wordt een aangepast
papierformaat niet ondersteund voor het maken van sjablonen voor later gebruik.

Mac OS X

Beeldverschuiving met dubbelzijdig afdrukken


Als u op een -systeem de optie beeldverschuiving gebruikt met instellingen van meer dan
twee paginas voor dubbelzijdig afdrukken (duplex), kan de afbeelding op de derde pagina
vervormd zijn. Dit wordt veroorzaakt door het printerstuurprogramma van Mac OS X.
Er bestaat momenteel geen manier om het probleem te omzeilen.
Mediatype Thick1 en Thick2 met Nieten
U kunt Thick1 en Thick2 als mediatype selecteren wanneer Nieten geselecteerd is in het
Mac OS X-printerstuurprogramma. Deze combinatie wordt echter niet ondersteund.
PDF- of PS-bestanden opslaan
Wanneer u Beeldverschuiving instelt met instellingen voor dubbelzijdig afdrukken (duplex),
het bestand opslaat als PDF of PostScript (PS) en het vervolgens afdrukt, wordt de taak
enkelzijdig afgedrukt zonder de instellingen voor Beeldverschuiving. Als u afdrukt met de
instellingen van het stuurprogramma zonder het bestand op te slaan als PS of PDF, wordt
de taak afgedrukt met de juiste instellingen.
Conflicten tussen afdrukopties oplossen in het printerstuurprogramma
voor Mac OS X v10.4
Wanneer u afdrukopties wijzigt in het printerstuurprogramma voor Mac OS X v10.4, meer
bepaald in het deelvenster Printerfuncties, worden conflicten tussen afdrukopties niet goed
opgelost.
Als u bijvoorbeeld een instelling wilt selecteren voor de afdrukoptie Boekje maken, moet
de afdrukoptie Dubbelzijdig afdrukken worden ingesteld op Aan voordat de afdrukopties
van Boekje maken kunnen worden geselecteerd. De afdrukopties van Boekje maken zijn
afhankelijk van de afdrukoptie Dubbelzijdig afdrukken.
In vorige Mac OS-versies werden conflicten tussen afdrukopties automatisch opgelost.
Volg de onderstaande procedure om conflicten tussen afdrukopties in het deelvenster
Printerfuncties op te lossen.

Pagina 106

CONFLICTEN TUSSEN AFDRUKOPTIES OPLOSSEN IN HET DEELVENSTER PRINTERFUNCTIES


1 Selecteer een ander deelvenster.

Selecteer bijvoorbeeld het deelvenster Overzicht als u zich in het deelvenster Printerfuncties
bevond.
Nadat u het deelvenster Printerfuncties hebt vernieuwd, komen de geselecteerde
functiesetgroep en de weergegeven afdrukopties niet overeen. Bijvoorbeeld, als de laatste
functieset die u hebt gewijzigd Beeld 1 was, wordt deze nu weergegeven met de afdrukopties
voor de eerste functieset, bijvoorbeeld Afwerking 1.
2 Selecteer de Functiesets groep opnieuw (bijvoorbeeld, Beeld 1) om de weergegeven
afdrukopties te vernieuwen.
3 Selecteer de juiste afdrukopties en druk de taak af.

Hot Folders v2 op Mac OS 10.4.x


Bestanden die op een lokale Mac OS 10.4.x-computer of netwerklocatie naar Hot Folders
worden verzonden, zullen de verzonden bestandsformaten misschien niet herkennen, ook
al is het bestand correct en geldig. Dit gebeurt courant wanneer de bestanden zich in een
netwerkmap bevinden die via het Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) wordt bereikt. Dit gebeurt
niet wanneer de bestanden zich in een netwerkmap bevinden die via SMB wordt bereikt.
Om dit probleem te omzeilen, stelt u alle verzonden Hot Folders-bestanden in met
machtigingen Lezen en schrijven of Lezen.
Als uw bestanden zich op het netwerk bevinden, verplaatst u ze naar uw lokale computer,
wijzigt u de bestandsmachtigingen en verzendt u de bestanden opnieuw naar Hot Folders.
Als u op een Mac OS-computer werkt, moet u de bestandsmachtigingen eerst
ontgrendelen en wijzigen. Sla de nieuwe bestandsattributen op als ontgrendeld,
of vergrendel het bestand opnieuw en sla de attributen daarna op.
Als uw bestanden zich op uw lokale computer bevinden, controleert en wijzigt
u de bestandsmachtigingen en verzendt u de bestanden opnieuw naar Hot Folders.
Remote Scan versie 5.3 en 5.4 op Mac OS X
Om Remote Scan versie 5.3 en 5.4 op een Mac OS X-computer af te sluiten, moet u de
muis gebruiken om het toepassingsvenster Remote Scan te sluiten. U kunt de toepassing niet
afsluiten via het hoofdmenu of door op Command+Q te drukken.
Afwerking in Mac OS X
Om het even welke combinatie van instellingen voor dubbelzijdig afdrukken en nieten voor
een taak die wordt afgedrukt vanaf een Mac OS X-computer kan een onverwachte nietpositie
en afdrukrichting opleveren. In dit geval geeft u de gewenste beeldrichting op in de
vervangende afdrukstandinstelling van het E-5000/E-3000-printerstuurprogramma.
Afdrukken op aangepast formaat
Het maximale aangepaste formaat is als volgt ingesteld:
Inch: 12" x 23,62"
Millimeter: 304,9mm x 599,9 mm
Afdrukken in Mac OS
Als u vanuit een toepassing afdrukt door te klikken op de knop Afdrukken, worden de
afdrukopties niet weergegeven. Kies in plaats daarvan de opdracht Afdrukken in het
menu Bestand.

Verscheidene taken annuleren


Wanneer u met Command WorkStation verscheidene taken annuleert, kan het
annulatieproces langer duren van u verwachtte.
Wanneer u taken met Boekje maken of taken met een groot aantal paginas annuleert, kan dit
eveneens langer duren dan u verwachtte.
Voorbeeld tijdens verwerking
Het kan onverwacht lang duren om een taak te annuleren of ze Actieve taken naar Afgedrukte
taken te verplatsen in Command WorkStation wanneer Voorbeeldweergave tijdens
verwerking ingeschakeld is in de Setup van E-5000/E-3000.
Adobe PageMaker
Wanneer de taakeigenschappen van een met Adobe PageMaker PPD afgedrukte taak in
Command WorkStation worden geopend, is het mogelijk dat een ingestelde waarde niet
correct wordt weergegeven.
Printergroepen
De functie Afdrukgroepen wordt niet ondersteund, hoewel ze in de online help van
Command WorkStation wordt vermeld. Afdrukgroepen is vervangen door Authenticatie
gebruiker. Deze functie wordt ingesteld in het printerstuurprogramma als ze in de Setup van
E-5000/E-3000 ingeschakeld is. Raadpleeg Configuratie en instellingen en Afdrukopties voor
meer informatie over de Authenticatie gebruiker.
Reserverkopien van lettertypen maken en ze terugzetten
Met Command WorkStation kunt u een reservekopie van letertypen maken en ze terugzetten.
Deze functie wordt verkeerd beschreven in Command WorkStation Help.
Volg deze instructies om een reservekopie van lettertypen te maken en ze terug te zetten:
Een reservekopie maken van PostScript-lettertypen en ze terugzetten.
Van alle lettertypen wordt een reservekopie gemaakt, of ze worden hersteld. U kunt geen
afzonderlijke lettertypen selecteren.
Maak geen reservekopie van lettertypen op een interne vaste schijf die ook software van de
E-5000/E-3000 bevat.
Zet lettertypen alleen terug naar dezelfde E-5000/E-3000 waarop ze zich oorspronkelijk
bevonden.

Internet Fax

Er wordt geen foutbericht weergegeven voor niet-ondersteunde resoluties

Het is mogelijk dat de E-5000/E-3000 niet naar Niet actief terugkeert nadat het USBmediastation aangesloten is. Dit kan gebeuren wanneer het USB-station in Windows
geformatteerd is, wat er soms toe leidt dat de E-5000/E-3000 vanaf het station probeert te
starten. Als dit gebeurt, moet u de eerste sector wissen zonder het station te formatteren.

Wanneer u een Internet Fax met 100 dpi of 600 dpi (dots per inch) verzendt, waarschuwt
de scansoftware u niet dat deze resoluties niet worden ondersteund. Momenteel worden de
scanresoluties 200 dpi, 300 en 400 dpi ondersteund.

Beperkingen voor het scanformaat


De bestandsgrootte voor een gescande taak is beperkt tot 2 GB. Als u een grote taak
probeert te scannen die resulteert in een bestandsgrootte van meer dan 2 GB, zal het scannen
mislukken. U kunt dit probleem omzeilen door grote scantaken te splitsen in kleinere delen.
Splitsmodus
Wanneer u instellingen voor Splitsmodus met Remote Scan gebruikt, is het mogelijk dat
Remote Scan de scan nooit voltooit. Om een scantaak te voltooien, drukt u op de toets # op

referenced in the documentation set. The term Print Server refers to the controller from
EFI that processes jobs for your print device.

A
additive color model

A system in which colors are produced by combining red, green, and blue light (the additive
primaries). An RGB video monitor is based on an additive color model.
additive primaries

Red, green, and blue light used in additive color systems. When blended together in proper
amounts, these colors of light produce white.

bit depth

Amount of information used for each pixel in a raster image. Black-and-white images require
only one bit per pixel. Grayscale images with 256 shades of gray require 8 bits (or 1 byte) per
pixel. Photographic quality color images can require 24 bits per pixel (RGB images) or 32 bits
per pixel (CMYK images).

GLOSSARY

Bitmap (BMP)

Calibration targets are associated with the output profile of the device.
CIE

The International Commission on Illumination, abbreviated as CIE from its French title
Commission Internationale de lEclairage, is an organization devoted to international
cooperation and exchange of information among its member countries on all matters relating
to the science and art of lighting. The CIE developed mathematical models to quantify light
sources, objects and observers as a function of wavelength, which led to the development of a
basic color space for plotting colors.
CIEbased colors (A, ABC, DEF, DEFG)

Device-independent color spaces that are produced by color management outside of the Print
Server, such as application software, operating systems, or printer drivers, and are applied at
the users computer.

magenta, yellow, and black. Also refers to the four sheets of film that result from the process
of separating a color image.
color space

A model for representing color in terms of measurable values, such as the amount of red,
green, and blue in an image. RGB and CMYK color spaces correspond to color devices
(monitors and printers, respectively). Other color spaces, such as CIE Lab, are based on
mathematical models and are device-independent (that is, not based on the color response of
a particular device). See gamut.
colorant
