The Splash Acquire plug-in gives your printer/copier high-resolution color scanning capabilities. Using Adobe Photoshop (or other compatible applications), you can scan printed images in CMYK, RGB, or grayscale and work with them in
Adobe Photoshop. There are no network transfer delays during scanning operations, since you scan directly from the Splash Server.
This section describes how to scan a printed image using Adobe Photoshop.
For instructions on how to use the Splash plug-in with other applications that are compatible with Adobe Photoshop plug-ins, refer to the manuals included with your applications. For instructions on how to install the Splash plug-in, see the
Splash Set-Up Manual .
Splash provides a second plug-in for printing directly from Adobe Photoshop to the
Splash printer. For information see the next section of this Reference manual.
IMPORTANT: The Splash Acquire plug-in can only be used on the Splash Server computer. The Splash plug-in does not work on client workstations.
Scanning From Adobe Photoshop Page 9
Page 10
System Requirements
Splash Acquire can be used only when it is installed on a Splash Professional Color
Imaging Series (v5.0 or later) Server Macintosh. The plug-in does not operate on client workstations or on earlier versions of the Splash Server. (Adobe Photoshop is not provided with the Splash Server. You must install Adobe Photoshop or
Adobe Photoshop LE on the Splash Server to use Splash Acquire.)
Note: Splash Servers provide the memory needed to run the Splash Server application only. If Adobe Photoshop or other applications will be run on the server computer you will need to add memory to support those applications.
Preparing the Scan
If you have added system memory to your Splash Server, it is not necessary to close the Splash Server application before you scan with the Splash plug-in. If the
Server is currently processing or printing a job, you must wait until the Server has completed these tasks before you can scan with the Splash plug-in. When the plug-in is scanning an image with the printer/copier, the Server cannot print to the printer/copier. An error message appears at the Server if a job is printed while the plug-in is scanning.
To scan an image with the Splash plug-in:
1.
Start the Adobe Photoshop application at the Splash Server.
2.
Place the print you want to scan on the printer/copier. (Place the print in the upper-left corner of the glass area of the copier.)
3.
From the File menu, point to Export (point to Acquire for Adobe Photoshop versions previous to 4.0) and drag to choose Splash Acquire from the submenu.
(The Splash plug-in module must be in the proper location to appear in this submenu. See the Splash Set-Up Manual or Splash Install Manual for information.)
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
The Splash Acquire setup dialog box appears.
4.
Choose Color or B&W (black and white) for the scan image.
5.
Choose Maximum Area to capture the largest possible scan area at reduced resolution. Choose Maximum Resolution to capture a smaller area in the scanned image, at full color resolution. (These options do not apply to the
Splash PCI 1280 Server.)
The results of your selections will vary depending on your model of
Splash Server:
â–
â–
â–
The Splash PCI 1280 Server supports 400 x 400 dpi scanning of the entire copier platen.
The Splash PCI 640 Server supports 200 x 200 scanning of the entire platen.
Splash PCI-E 320 Server supports 400 x 400 dpi scanning for page sizes up to A5; 200 x 200 scanning for larger page sizes.
Scanning From Adobe Photoshop Page 11
6.
If the Splash Server is connected to a MajestiK, Regal, DocuColor 5799,
Acolor 630 or Acolor 930 series printer/copier, click the arrow at the bottomleft corner of the Acquire setup dialog box to select additional options.
Page 12
7.
Select an Original Type option that matches the image being scanned.
The Original Image Type setting (not available with an Acolor 620 or
DocuColor 5750 printer/copier) lets you specify the type of master image you will use to scan the image (for example, mixed text and graphics, line art, or a photograph).
8.
Select a Sharpness setting (not available with an Acolor 620 or DocuColor
5750 printer/copier) to enhance or soften the edges of your image during scan operations. When you set Sharpness, no additional processing time is required.
9.
Click Scan.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
After a short pause, the printer/copier scans the image. The scan is saved to the built-in memory on the Splash card, then a preview of the image appears in the scan area of the Acquire window.
Color Options
The Color options let you convert the scanned image to RGB or CMYK color, or grayscale. If you select RBG or CMYK color, Splash Acquire lets you apply color correction to the scanned image when the file is saved to disk. The preview image in the Acquire window updates instantly to show the result when you apply a
Color option.
RGB Color Correction
If you select RGB color mode, you can apply these RGB color correction types:
â– RGB Photo is for scanned photographs.
â– RGB Copy is for exactly matching a photocopy. ( Note : For an exact match, apply the Unsharp Mask filter in Adobe Photoshop after you scan the image and before you print. Use the filter parameters: 120,2,1 for a 400dpi scan, or
200,1,1 for a 200dpi scan.)
Scanning From Adobe Photoshop Page 13
CMYK Color Correction
When you apply CMYK color correction to the scanned image, Splash Acquire adjusts colors in the image to match the Splash ColorCal Pass Through
“Uncalibrated” profile. The color output is closer to that found in v3.1 of Splash, though saturated colors are flatter.
For best results with your scanned images, use RGB scanning and use the
procedure described in “Improving RGB Scans” on page 19.
Gamma
Gamma describes how a device reproduces tonal gradations. For most purposes, the default setting (1.8) is best. Gamma 1.8 simulates tonal gradations as perceived by the human eye.
If desired, you can edit the Gamma text box to lighten or darken the file. Gamma applies to both color and grayscale scans. The scan preview updates automatically as you change the Gamma setting.
Cropping the Scan
The buttons above the scan preview window help you to select an area of the scanned image to save as a file.

The Crop tool changes the pointer to a crosshair. This allows you to select a portion of the preview image. Double-click the Crop tool to select the entire preview image.
Choosing the Zoom tool changes the pointer to a magnifying glass. Click anywhere on the preview image to see a magnified view of the scan preview.
Hold down the Option key as you click to make the preview image smaller.
When you double-click the Zoom tool, the preview image exactly fits the preview window area.
The Move tool moves your view of the preview image when it is magnified.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
Select the portion of the image you want to open in Adobe Photoshop. Since the amount of time it will take to open the image increases with the size of the selected area, you should select only the portion with which you want to work.
To do this, drag the crosshair within the scan area to draw a marquee (dashed rectangle) around any portion of the image:
Marquee
To constrain the selection area:
â–
â–
Hold down the Shift key as you drag the crosshair to constrain the aspect ratio of the selection area.
Hold down the Option key as you drag the crosshair to select an area centered on the pointer.
â– Hold down the Shift-Option keys as you drag the crosshair to constrain the aspect ratio of a selection area that is centered on the pointer.
If you want to change the size of the marquee, you can drag the marquee “handles” at each corner of the selection, or enter new values in the Width and Height boxes.
To use the Width and Height boxes,
1.
Choose the unit of measure you want to use from the Units menu. You can choose centimeters or inches.
2.
Enter values in the Width and Height boxes. The marquee is resized to match the dimensions you enter.
Scanning From Adobe Photoshop Page 15
Page 16
If you want to move the marquee, you can either do so manually or enter specific values in the Top and Left boxes.
â– To move the marquee manually, place the pointer within the marquee and drag it to a different location within the scan area:
Dragging the marquee
3.
To move the marquee numerically, enter new values in the Top and Left boxes.
Choosing the Scanning Resolution
1.
In the Resolution box, enter the resolution at which you want the image to be transferred into Adobe Photoshop.
The default setting for Resolution depends on the memory configuration for the computer, and the size of the scanned image. The Resolution you can use is limited by the memory and disk space available on the Server computer.
If you change the Resolution from its default setting, the plug-in uses
interpolation to adjust resolution for the image. (See Step 3.)
2.
Choose a unit of measure from the Units menu. This selection applies to the size and position measurements, as well as the Resolution you enter.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
3.
If you changed the default resolution of your image in Step 1, choose an interpolation option from the pop-up menu.
â– Bicubic interpolation offers the highest-quality reproduction for images with gradual changes of color (such as photographs). However, it is the slowest method of interpolation because it requires the greatest amount of processing.
â–
â–
Nearest Neighbor (the default setting) is the fastest method of interpolation, and it can be the best method for graphic art with welldefined boundaries between elements. This is the best selection for most instances. However, gradual changes of color can appear jagged when you print images using this type of interpolation.
Bilinear interpolation produces quality and speed that is between the two other options.
Checking the Disk Space Required
The amount of Splash frame buffer memory available for your Splash Server model appears at the bottom of the Acquire window. Acquire also determines if the amount of space available on your Adobe Photoshop scratch hard disk(s) will accommodate the scanned image.
If the required space is greater than the available space, you can either reduce the size of the scan or choose a scratch disk with more available space.
â–
â–
To reduce the amount of space required by the scan, you can select a
smaller area to be transferred to Adobe Photoshop (see page 14), or
choose a lower scanning resolution (see page 16).
To choose a scratch disk with more available space, click Cancel. From the Adobe Photoshop File menu, choose Preferences and drag to select
Scratch Disks. Choose a primary and/or secondary scratch disk that has more space available, then quit and restart the Adobe Photoshop application.
Scanning From Adobe Photoshop Page 17
Choosing an Orientation
If the preview image does not appear in the orientation you want, you can use the Orientation buttons to rotate the image when it is transferred into
Adobe Photoshop.
To choose an orientation, click one of the orientation buttons. Acquire rotates the preview image in the window.
Transferring the Image to Adobe Photoshop
1.
To transfer the scanned image to Adobe Photoshop, click Done. A progress bar indicates that the image is being transferred.
2.
The image appears in a new untitled Adobe Photoshop window.
3.
Use the Adobe Photoshop tools to work with the image and to save it to your hard disk. For instructions, see the manuals included with Adobe Photoshop.

Splash Acquire Notes
Improving RGB Scans
To improve the quality of RGB scans created with the Splash Acquire plug-in, use the Image Levels control in Adobe Photoshop. To do this, in the Image menu, point to the Adjust submenu, then select the Levels command. The Image Levels control window appears.
Drag the left and right Input level sliders so they are below the lowest and highest points shown in the Levels histogram. (Optionally, you can adjust the middle slider until the image looks best.)
First Scan of the Day on Acolor 630 Series May
Need to be Rescanned
On Acolor 630 series printer/copiers, the first scan operation of the day may produce slight flaws in the output. If this occurs, rescan the image. This problem only occurs for the first scan of the day when the printer/copier has been left on overnight.

Splash Export lets you print directly to the Xerox or Fuji Xerox printer/copier from
Adobe Photoshop. If your AppleTalk network is used heavily, you can use Splash
Export to avoid transferring the print job over the network. Splash Export provides a slightly different set of print options than those available with the Splash driver.
Use Splash Export as an alternative to the Adobe Photoshop “Print” command.
This section explains how to use the Splash Export plug-in for Adobe Photoshop
3.0 or later. For instructions on how to use the Splash plug-in with other applications that are compatible with Adobe Photoshop plug-ins, refer to the manuals included with your applications. For instructions on how to install the
Splash Export plug-in, see the Splash Set-Up Manual .
Export Printing From Adobe Photoshop Page 21
Page 22
System Requirements
Splash Export can be used only when it is installed on a Splash Professional Color
Imaging Series (v5.0 or later) Server Macintosh. The plug-in does not operate on client workstations or on earlier versions of the Splash Server. (Adobe Photoshop is not provided with the Splash Server. You must install Adobe Photoshop or
Adobe Photoshop LE on the Splash Server to print with Splash Export.)
Note: Splash Servers provide the memory needed to run the Splash Server application only. If Adobe Photoshop or other applications will be run on the server computer you will need to add memory to support those applications.
Using Splash Export
If you add sufficient system memory to the Splash Server Power Macintosh, you can print with Splash Export while the Splash Server application is running. If the
Server is currently processing or printing a job, you must wait until the Server has completed these tasks before you can print with Splash Export. When Splash
Export is printing to the printer/copier, the Server cannot print jobs in the queue.
An error message appears at the Server if a job attempts to print while Splash
Export is printing.
Preparing to Print with Splash Export
To print to the printer/copier with Splash Export:
1.
Double-click the Adobe Photoshop icon to open the application.
2.
If you want to print only part of the image, crop the image with the
Adobe Photoshop application tools before you use Splash Export.
For instructions on how to do this, refer to the Adobe Photoshop manuals.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
3.
Point to Export in the File menu, then drag to choose Splash Export in the submenu.
There is a pause while the image is loaded, then Splash Export appears.
If the image is very large, Splash Export displays an option that allows you to
“skip” loading the image. This opens the Splash Export dialog box faster, but a box with the Splash logo appears instead of the image in the preview window.
Export Printing From Adobe Photoshop Page 23
Page 24
The Splash Export preview window shows a full-size representation of the image on a larger white rectangle. The white rectangle represents the selected paper size.
Splash Export automatically chooses the paper size that seems most appropriate for printing the full-size image. You can change the size of the image, and change the paper size and orientation before you print.
Note: Splash Export displays different Imaging Parameter controls for RGB and
CMYK images. See page 30 for details.
Specifying the Number of Copies
Enter the number of copies to print in the Copies box at the top of the Splash Export dialog box.
Changing the Size, Orientation, and Position of the Image
Drag the image to move it around on the white rectangle. Click the Center button at the bottom of the Splash Export dialog box to center the image on the paper.
Centers the image on the selected paper size
To resize the image, drag one of the handles located at the corners of the image.
Note: The Dimensions boxes do not have any effect on the printed image if you enter an image size using the keyboard.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
The Fit on Paper button at the bottom of the Splash Export dialog box adjusts the image to the maximum size that will fit on the selected paper size and orientation.
Resizing handles
Image resolution
The image resolution indicator at the bottom-left corner of the dialog box shows the maximum print resolution (dots per inch) possible for the image. This number is determined by the size of the image and the available memory on your model of
Splash Server interface board.
Note: The image cannot be made larger than the paper size. If the full-sized image is larger than the paper, Splash Export automatically reduces the image size to fit the paper. The image maintains its proportions as you increase or decrease the size.
You cannot stretch or distort the image.
The orientation buttons at the bottom of the preview window let you choose between landscape and portrait orientations for the printed image. (The image does not rotate in the preview window. The white paper area in the preview window updates to show the orientation change.)
Landscape orientation
Portrait orientation
Export Printing From Adobe Photoshop Page 25
Page 26
Selecting a Scaling Option
When you enlarge or reduce the image, Splash Export must add or subtract pixels
(dots) to scale the image to the correct size for printing. Splash Export uses one of three “interpolation” methods to do this. The interpolation options appear in the
Interpolation pop-up menu under Imaging Parameters.
â–
â–
â–
Bicubic interpolation offers the highest-quality reproduction for images with gradual changes of color (such as photographs). However, it is the slowest method of interpolation because it requires the greatest amount of processing.
Nearest Neighbor (the default setting) is the fastest method of interpolation, and it can be the best method for graphic art with well-defined boundaries between elements. This is the best selection for most instances. However, gradual changes of color can appear jagged when you print images using this type of interpolation.
Bilinear interpolation produces quality and speed that is between the two other options.
If you resized the image with Splash Export, use the Interpolation pop-up menu to choose the method that best suits the image you are printing.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
Changing the Paper Tray
The paper tray options appear under Paper Source.
To print to one of the paper trays, choose Tray then select the tray with the correct paper size in the pop-up menu.
To print to the Bypass tray, choose Manual then select the paper size from the menu.
Export Printing From Adobe Photoshop Page 27
Page 28
When you use the Manual feed option, choose a paper type. (Be sure the Bypass tray contains the paper type you specify.)
â–
â–
â–
Select Normal (Paper or Transparency) to print on recommended paper between 16 to 24 pound or 60 to 105 gsm Xerox transparencies with a white leading edge. For information on recommended transparencies, refer to the manuals supplied with your printer/copier.
Select Heavyweight to print on paper that is heavier than 24 pound or 105 gsm. See the manuals supplied with your printer/copier for information on recommended heavyweight paper.
Note: For the MajestiK and Acolor printer/copiers, Splash supports Heavy
Weight paper for page sizes: A4 SEF, A4 LEF, B5 SEF, B5 LEF, Letter SEF,
Letter LEF, Legal, Legal13, 8x10 LEF, 9x12, and 215mmx315mm.
(Paper sizes that do not indicate “SEF” or “LEF” are single edge feed sizes.)
Splash supports all Regal printer/copier Heavy Weight paper page sizes.
Select Transparency Interleave to have the printer insert blank sheets of paper between printed transparencies. For transparency interleave, you must have a paper size that matches the transparency film size installed in a cassette.
If no matching paper size is installed, the transparencies are printed without separating sheets.
Note: When you print a transparency interleave job to the Xerox Regal copier from Splash Export, occasionally the printer fails to insert a blank sheet of paper between some transparencies in the job.
â– Select Oversize Transparency to print transparencies larger than A4 (such as
A3). This option is for use with the Acolor 930 series, Regal, DocuColor 5799,
Acolor 620 series, or DocuColor 5750 printer/copier models. The Normal
(Paper or Transparency) option does not work with oversized transparencies.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
You cannot use oversize (larger than A4 or Letter) transparencies with the
MajestiK and Acolor 630 series copier/printers. Attempting to do so results in a paper jam or damage to the printer/copier. However, the Oversize Transparency option works with supported transparencies (A4 and Letter) for these printer/ copier models. This option produces the same results as the Normal (Paper or
Transparency) option.
The following Bypass Tray options can be used when Splash Export is used with an
Acolor 620 or DocuColor 5750 series printer/copier:
â–
â–
Special Heavy Paper
Coated Paper
â–
â–
Single Step Transfer
Labels
See the manuals supplied with your printer/copier for information on recommended paper types for these Bypass Tray options.
The following Bypass Tray option can be used when Splash Export is used with an
Acolor 620, DocuColor 5750, or DocuColor 5799 series printer/copier:
â– Tack Film. The paper sizes supported for this Bypass Tray option are Letter and A4 only. See the manuals supplied with your printer/copier for information on recommended paper.
When you insert paper or transparencies into the Bypass tray, the printer/copier defaults to its Paper Type (Bypass) mode. Push the yellow Clear All button on the printer/copier after you insert the paper or transparencies to return immediately to the print mode.
Adjusting Brightness
When you use Splash Export with a CMYK file, you can darken or lighten the image with the Brightness slider that appears under Imaging Parameters. For RGB files, enter a Gamma value to darken or lighten the image. (For most purposes, a
Gamma of 1.8 is the best selection.)
Export Printing From Adobe Photoshop Page 29
Selecting Color Correction
To apply color correction, choose an option from the pop-up menu under Imaging
Parameters. The color correction options are different for CMYK and RGB files.
CMYK color correction options RGB color correction options
Page 30
RGB Color Correction
When you use Splash Export with an RGB image, you can apply these RGB color correction types:
â– Photo matches the colors of various photographic images scanned by the
Xerox or Fuji Xerox printer/copier, or other scanners. This option uses a whitepoint setting of D65 (simulates normal lighting conditions).
Note: For best results with this color correction type, run the Splash ColorCal utility at the Splash Server at least once before you apply this option with
Splash Export.
â– Copier is for exactly matching an image that was scanned at the printer/copier.
The image must be scanned with the RGB color correction type “RGB Copy”
(see “Scanning From Adobe Photoshop” in this Reference manual
for instructions).
Note: For an exact match, apply the Unsharp Mask filter in
Adobe Photoshop before you export the image. Use the filter parameters:
120,2,1 for a 400 dpi export, or 200,1,1 for a 200 dpi export.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
CMYK Color Correction
When you use Splash Export with a CMYK image, you can apply these color correction types:
â–
â–
SWOP simulates SWOP inks.
Euroscale simulates Euroscale press inks.
â–
â–
Enhanced prints vivid colors on your output. (This profile is not intended for printing press proofs.)
Custom is used with Splash ColorCal. Ask your Splash Server administrator which option is currently active.
See the Splash on-line manual “Printing to Splash From a Macintosh” for more information about Splash CMYK color correction.
Additional Export Options
If you have a Splash MajestiK, Regal, Acolor 93x series or Acolor 63x series printer/copier, several additional options are available. Choose Copier Options... to see more controls you can use with Splash Export. When you do this, the button changes to Imaging Params... Click the button again to return to the Imaging
Parameters controls.
Specifying the Image Type
The Original Image Type control sets printer/copier screening and filtering to optimize output based on the image type.
â– Choose Photo for photographic originals to optimize the output, using a
200-line screen at 400dpi. This is the best option to choose for color images.
â– Choose Text/Graphics/Line Art to optimize the output of all other data types, including text and line art, using a 400-line screen.
Export Printing From Adobe Photoshop Page 31
Page 32
When Text/Graphics/Line Art (400-line screen) is used, even if color correction is selected, appropriate colors are not always output. The colors output sometimes differ from when Photographic is selected. For documents that emphasize the color image, choose Photographic. For documents that emphasize sharp lines (such as a map), choose Text/Graphics/Line Art.
Applying Sharpness
The Sharpness pop-up menu lets you select an option to enhance or soften the edges of your image when you print. (When you apply a Sharpness setting, no additional processing time is required.) The Sharpness settings are:
â–
â–
Much Softer
Slightly Softer
â–
â–
â–
Normal
Slightly Sharper
Much Sharper
Note: Sharpness is not available for the Acolor 620 or DocuColor 5750 series printer/copiers.
Adjusting Highlights, Midtones, and Shadows
The sliders at the bottom of the Copier Options let you change the highlights, midtones, and shadows for the image. To adjust these, select Highlights, Midtones, or Shadows from the pop-up menu above the sliders, then set the K (black),
C (cyan), M (magenta), and Y (yellow) sliders to suit your preferences.
For most purposes, you will achieve the best results when these controls are set near the center of their ranges.
Exporting the File to the Printer
Click Print to export your file to the printer/copier. A progress bar displays while the image is exported.

A basic characteristic of all color copiers is that the output color drifts over time, producing inconsistent color from day to day, or even hour to hour. This shift in color can be caused by changes in humidity, temperature, and the number of copies made. Splash ColorCal corrects this to ensure that output is consistent over time.
Splash ColorCal, unlike other calibration solutions, is an ideal tool for both business graphics and other less-technical users, as well as for the more traditional prepress users. Splash ColorCal requires no special color knowledge and does not require the use or purchase of an expensive densitometer. Splash ColorCal is more accurate than other calibration solutions because it automatically adjusts gray balance in addition to accurate linearization. Further, it uses three times more color patches, with over six times the resolution in critical regions to provide results more accurate than competitive solutions.
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 35
Page 36
Other Splash ColorCal features include an option that randomizes placement of the patches on the calibration target to minimize the effects of print density variations on a page. In addition, Splash ColorCal allows calibration on heavy stock papers.
Splash ColorCal provides color calibration for your Xerox MajestiK, Regal,
DocuColor 5799, DocuColor 5750, or Acolor printer/copier. ColorCal guides you step-by-step through a simple process to quickly calibrate your printer/copier for consistent, accurate color.
Once calibration is complete, you can use Splash CMYK and RGB color correction
(selected in the Splash print driver), or use advanced features of ColorCal to create and save custom color profiles. Calibration takes only a few minutes to complete, so you can test your printer’s color output and recalibrate as often as needed.
The ColorCal application is located in the Splash Calibration Folder within the
Splash Utilities Folder on the Splash Server. The Splash Calibration Folder can be moved anywhere on the Splash Server hard disk. A folder containing the ColorCal profiles is located in the Preferences Folder within the System Folder. (See
“Managing the Profiles Folders” on page 55 for notes about moving Splash
color profiles to other folders.)
Calibrating the Printer/Copier
This section describes how to calibrate your printer/copier with Splash ColorCal.
For best color printing results, recalibrate the printer/copier at least once daily.
If printer/copier use is heavy, you may want to recalibrate as frequently as several times a day. ColorCal runs only on the Splash Server computer. The printer/copier must have 8.5"x11", A4, or larger paper loaded to print the Calibration Target used in this process.
Note: ColorCal calibration does not affect the quality of photocopies. Only files printed with Splash are affected. (Always calibrate the printer after a service call.)
IMPORTANT: Be sure to have the printer/copier running during the entire calibration procedure.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
To calibrate with Splash ColorCal:
1.
Double-click the ColorCal icon in the ColorCal folder on the Server.
(The Splash Server application can be running during calibration.)
Splash ColorCal appears.
2.
If you are using ColorCal for the first time, or if the printer/copier has recently been serviced, choose Calibrate Scanner from the ColorCal menu.
This command causes ColorCal to adjust the printer/copier to compensate for scanning differences that could affect calibration quality. (This command affects ColorCal operation only. It does not affect the scanning capability of the printer/copier for other scanning operations.)
If you have calibrated at least once before, go to Step 5.
3.
Choose Printing Options from the Splash menu. A dialog box appears.
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 37
4.
Be sure the Randomize Patches option is selected, then click OK.
This option averages out print density variations across the calibration target page, and ensures high-quality calibration. For best results, be sure this option is selected before you calibrate with ColorCal.
5.
Be sure that the copier platen cover is closed, then click Run Calibration.
6.
Select a paper source for the ColorCal calibration target.
The paper size can be 8.5"x11", A4, or larger. If you select Manual Feed you can select “Heavy Weight” paper.
If the Splash Server is connected to a DocuColor 5750 or Acolor 620 copier and you select Manual Feed, choose a paper size from the menu that appears.
Page 38
Note: For Manual Feed you must orient the paper in the bypass tray so the short-edge feeds into the copier first (SEF orientation).
ColorCal prints a calibration target on the Printer/Copier. The target always shows uncalibrated printer performance—even if you have calibrated the printer before.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
ColorCal prompts you to examine the target for printing defects.
If printing defects (such as creased paper or uneven or flaking toner) appear on the target click Reprint to produce a new target on the printer/copier.
7.
When you have printed an acceptable Calibration target click Continue.
ColorCal prompts you to place the target on the copier surface for scanning.
8.
Place the Kodak Gray Scale target (provided with Splash ColorCal) and the printed target face-down on the copier glass.
Match the arrow on the target with the arrow on the back of the copier platen glass. Orient the target with the short edge of the paper along the left side of the copier platen. The Gray Scale target must cover the grayscale patches in the upper-left corner of the ColorCal target. (Place the Gray Scale target facedown on the glass first, then place the ColorCal target face-down on top of the
Gray Scale target.)
IMPORTANT: Handle the Gray Scale target by the edges to avoid smudging the patches. Keep the target in its protective sleeve when it is not being used.
Replace the target if the patches become damaged. Contact Xerox Customer
Support to order a replacement Gray Scale target.
Note: Be sure to use the Gray Scale target for this step to produce the most accurate scanning results. If the Gray Scale target is not present during calibration ColorCal uses default information to set grayscale densities.
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 39
9.
Click Scan.
ColorCal scans the Target and determines current color performance based on the acquired image. When this process has concluded, ColorCal displays a graphic representation of color performance for the printer.
Page 40
The Desired Density lines represent accurate CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) printing for the current CMYK color profile selected in the Verify
Against pop-up menu in the Set Active Profiles dialog box (see page 43).
The Measured Density lines show actual uncalibrated printer performance as measured from the scanned Target.
(Technical note: The vertical axis for each color curve is in units of Status-T less the paper density. The Horizontal axis is represented as dot percentage from 0% to 100%.)
10. Click Update Profiles to have ColorCal adjust color output to match the
Desired Density levels for your color profiles.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
ColorCal updates all profiles at the same time, even custom ones which have been created, so you can use any color profile without repeating color calibration.
When profile updating is complete a message appears.
11. Click Verify to check calibration results for the printer (see “Verifying Printer
Color Accuracy”) or click Done to return to the ColorCal main window.
Color calibration is complete. After you run calibration, you can select any of the standard color profiles included with ColorCal for consistent, accurate color (see
“Using ColorCal Profiles With Splash” on page 44). If printer use is heavy, use
Splash ColorCal throughout the day to keep track of color printing performance and
recalibrate as needed (see “Verifying Printer Color Accuracy” on page 42).
To exit ColorCal, choose Quit from the file menu.
Inverting the Calibration Image
Splash ColorCal provides a special feature for calibrating to heat transfer paper used for adhering color output to non-standard media such as rice paper, rag paper, or T-shirts. To ensure consistent color output, use the original artwork for the calibration target, and activate the “Mirror Image” option before calibrating
(see page 37). This inverts the scanned artwork “target” to match the final
transferred piece.
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 41
Verifying Printer Color Accuracy
To verify the accuracy of the calibration process, or to determine the amount of drift since the last calibration, click “Verify Accuracy” in the ColorCal main window (or click “Verify” in the dialog box that appears when calibration is complete). Follow
the same steps used to initially calibrate the printer (see “Calibrating the Printer/
When the verification process has concluded, ColorCal displays the color performance results. Compare the Desired Density lines with Measured Density lines to determine color printing accuracy. The example below shows that measured output closely matches desired color performance. Recalibration is not needed.
Page 42
If the Measured Density levels do not match Desired Density levels, calibrate the
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
Setting the Verify Against Profile
If desired, you can change the calibrated profile Splash ColorCal uses to create the
Desired Density lines during verification. For example, you might want to set the verification profile to CMYK SWOP if you use this profile frequently for printing.
1.
In the Splash ColorCal application, choose Set Active Profiles from the Splash menu. The Standard and Custom CMYK profiles appear.
2.
Choose a profile in the Verify Against pop-up menu.
You can choose any calibrated CMYK profile, custom profile, or Pass Through
(standard output) profile for verification.
3.
Click OK.
To verify the accuracy of standard color output for your MajestiK or Regal printer/copier, choose the MajestiK Standard or Regal Standard profile in the Verify
Against pop-up menu. This causes Splash ColorCal to verify measured densities against a benchmark MajestiK or Regal printer at Xerox laboratories.
For most purposes the Pass Through profile should be set to “Visual Standard”
(the default setting). This selection produces the most visually smooth output.
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 43
Using ColorCal Profiles With Splash
Any network computer with the Splash client software installed can select a Splash
CMYK color profile for their print jobs. This section describes how to select a profile for a Macintosh client with the custom Splash driver.
Note: Splash provides client software for computers running MacOS, Windows
3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT. Refer to the appropriate Printing to Splash... on-line manual for instructions on how to enable Splash color correction for each of these client computers.
To select a Splash CMYK Press Profile with the custom Splash driver on a Macintosh client:
1.

To select a CMYK profile, select the CMYK Press Color Correction checkbox, then select a Press Profile from the menu.
6.
Select other print options as desired, then click OK to send the job to Splash.
The Custom1 through 10 options are set in the Splash ColorCal Active Profiles dialog box or in the Splash Server application. (See the next section.)
To print to Splash with the printer/copier’s standard color characteristics (no color correction applied) deselect both RGB and CMYK color correction checkboxes in the Splash Color Options dialog box. This activates the Pass Through profile
selected in the Splash ColorCal Active Profiles dialog box (see page 50).
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 45
Setting the Custom and Pass Through Profiles
To set custom color profiles for the ten Splash CMYK Custom options, or to choose the Pass Through (standard output) setting:
1.
In the Splash ColorCal application, choose Set Active Profiles from the Splash menu. The Active Profiles dialog box appears.
Page 46
You can set the active profiles for the ten custom CMYK color correction options that appear in the printer driver when you print a job to Splash (for
descriptions of the color profiles, see page 46).
2.
Set the Custom profiles with the pop-up menus.
Custom 1 through Custom 10 can be configured for any of the CMYK profiles provided with Splash, or for any user developed calibrated CMYK
color profiles (see “Creating a Custom Color Profile” on page 51 for
information about how to create your own CMYK custom profiles).
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
Profiles with a colored cube on the left in the menus are the Splash v5.0 multi-dimensional color correction profiles. Profiles with no symbol are
Splash v4.0 one-dimensional profiles. You can select either type of profile.
3.
If desired, you can set the Pass Through profile.
The Pass Through profile is used when Splash Color Correction is not enabled in the Splash printer driver. Pass Through can be set to use a smooth visual standard that is optimized for RGB printing, or to use standard Regal or
MajestiK color output characteristics, either calibrated or uncalibrated.
4.
If needed, you can change the profiles used for the three standard Splash
CMYK profiles.
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 47
For example, if you find that you prefer a v4.0-style CMYK SWOP profile or a user-developed calibrated CMYK SWOP profile to the standard v5.0 SWOP profile, you can change it in Active Profiles.
Note: If you decide to change the standard SWOP profile, ColorCal limits you to selecting another SWOP-type profile to avoid confusion at the printer driver.
5.
When you have finished selecting profiles, click OK.
Splash ColorCal enables your profile selections for client printing.
You can set the Splash CMYK profiles from the Splash Server application as well. Choose Color Profiles from the Server menu to set profiles for Splash color correction.

Pass Through Profiles
Includes a “Visual Standard” profile for RGB printing, profiles that return the
MajestiK, Regal, or Acolor printer/copier to standard color output, and an option for uncalibrated printing. When you use a color management system (from Kodak,
Agfa, Apple, EFI and others) for printing, make the appropriate “Standard” profile
(MajestiK or Regal) the active Pass Through profile in the Active Profiles dialog box, and disable Splash color correction in the Splash Color Options dialog box at the Client workstation.
â– Visual Standard provides the widest gamut and smoothest color transitions when you print RGB colors. This is the default setting for the Pass Through option, and is the best selection for RGB printing to Splash. (Note: For best results when you print jobs that contain RGB data only, be sure to turn
Splash CMYK color correction off in the Splash Color Options dialog box.)
â– MajestiK Standard reconfigures a MajestiK or Acolor 630/635 to match the color printing output of a “benchmark” MajestiK printer in the Xerox laboratories in Webster, NY. This setting, used in combination with Splash color correction disabled, should be used when MajestiK is selected with the
PANTONE ColorDrive software or the included PANTONE Toolkit and
MajestiK parameters are used to produce the most accurate PANTONE colors with the MajestiK, Regal, or Acolor 630/635/930/935 printer/copiers.
This setting can also be used with the Regal or Acolor 930/935 to more closely match the output characteristics of the MajestiK or Acolor 630/635. This can be useful when printing files originally designed to be printed on a MajestiK or
Acolor 630/635 with Splash color correction disabled. This can be useful also when using other commercially available color management systems that provide MajestiK or Acolor 630/635 profile settings. Splash color correction should be disabled when printing using other color management systems. When a Regal or Acolor 930/935 is used with the MajestiK Standard setting, a loss of detail in the shadows may occur with some images.
â– Regal Standard reconfigures a Regal or Acolor 930/935 printer/copier to match the color printing output of a “benchmark” Regal printer in the Xerox laboratories in Webster, NY. This setting, used in combination with Splash color correction disabled, should be used when Regal is selected with the
PANTONE ColorDrive software with the MajestiK, Regal or Acolor 630/635/
930/935 printer/copiers.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
This setting can also be used with the MajestiK or Acolor 630/635 to more closely match the output characteristics of the Regal or Acolor 930/935.

3.
Select a color curve to edit from the pop-up menu on the upper-left.
4.
To edit, drag the curve points with the mouse pointer. Output Percentage
(0% to 100%) and Input Percentage (0% to 100%) update instantly on the right as you drag a curve point.
â– To add a curve point, click anywhere along the curve. ColorCal allows a maximum of 32 control points for an individual color curve.
â–
â–
To remove a curve point, drag it over another point on the color curve.
To undo all changes to the curve, click Revert.
Note: The color curves you create with the Expert edit controls are similar to those used in Adobe Photoshop, but cannot be directly exchanged with curves created in Adobe Photoshop.
5.
When you have finished editing all color curves (C, M, Y, and K) for the profile, click Save.
6.
Enter a profile name if you want to save your changes as a new profile.
7.
Click Save.
8.
If you are finished editing profiles, click Done.
Note: If you edit a v4.0-style profile, the color curve editor plots density (from 0.0 to 2.0) against input percentage (0% to 100%).
Page 52 Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
(Technical note: The vertical axis is in units of Status-T less the paper density.
The Horizontal axis is represented as dot percentage from 0% to 100%.)
If you saved your changes as a new profile the new profile name appears in the list of color profiles when you choose Set Active Profile in the Splash menu. Note that the new profile is automatically calibrated to the last time calibration was run as it is created.
Expert-Level Editing with ColorCal
This section describes a procedure you can use to tailor color output to your environment with the ColorCal Expert-level tools.
1.
If desired, use a reliable densitometer that can read Status-T density to measure the 20 patches on the Gray Scale target.
2.
Edit the file “Test Strip Adjust (In)” located in the Color Data folder in the
ColorCal folder. Enter new visual density values based on your measurements, and save the edited file.
The visual density values are the first numbers in each line that begins:
“Kodak.” The density is rounded to the nearest .001 units and is approximately
0.05 for the first patch to 1.95 for the last patch, in increments of 0.10 units.
Actual measured values are typically less for the densest patches.
3.
Start the ColorCal application, and select the CMYK profile you plan to
modify in the Active Profiles dialog box (see page 46).
4.
Calibrate the printer with ColorCal as described on page 36.
5.
When calibration is complete, quit the ColorCal application and print any
CMYK color file to compare with a film proof or printed material that you want to match.
Before you print, be sure to choose the correct CMYK profile in the Color
Options dialog box (see page 44).
6.
Start the ColorCal application, and click “Be an Expert” to open the color curve editor.
7.
Edit the color curves as described on page 51.
8.
If you saved the edited profile with a new name, select the new profile in the
ColorCal Active Profiles dialog box.
9.
Quit the ColorCal application and print the CMYK file again.
Calibrating With Splash ColorCal Page 53
Page 54
Repeat Steps 6 to 9 until you are satisfied with the color output.
You also can use the gray scale patches on a ColorCal Verification target as a reference for adjusting curves. To do this, print a verification target in the ColorCal
application (see page 42). The first row of gray patches near the bottom of the page
are composed of CMY colors mixed together. The second row of gray patches consist of equivalent black (K) patches. These two rows should look similar for good gray balance when you use a SWOP Coated profile. To change the data values used to create these patches, edit the “Gray Patches (In)” file.
To simulate different paper stocks change the “paper white” by moving up the
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow curves at 0%. A typical film proof may appear slightly yellow, so moving up 0% Yellow to 0.02 density will add yellow everywhere that can be printed on the page. There will still be a white border where there is no toner on the printed page. Trim this border from your proofs to prevent the appearance that yellow is too strong.
Splash ColorCal Notes
Failure to Accurately Calibrate
If, during the verify process immediately after calibrating, the measured curve does not closely correspond to the target curve, it may be that your printer/copier needs servicing. Splash ColorCal cannot operate properly if the printer/copier is printing unevenly or if the scanner is too far out of specification. To verify that this is the case, set the active Pass Through profile to Uncalibrated in ColorCal, then print out the full area on an A4 or 8.5”x11” page with 40% C, 40% M, and 40% Y color mix, with Splash Color Correction disabled in the Splash print driver. Examine the printed page to see if the output is an even gray with little variation. If there is significant variation, this indicates that the printer/copier needs to be serviced. If the printer/copier needs servicing, contact Xerox Service.
First Calibration of the Day on Acolor 630 Series May Need to be Rescanned
On Acolor 630 series printer/copiers, the first time you calibrate on any day,
ColorCal may display the error message “Can’t find registration marks” when the calibration target is scanned. If this occurs, choose Run Calibration in the ColorCal application again (hold down the option key to avoid reprinting the calibration target), and rescan the calibration target. This problem only occurs for the first calibration of the day when the printer/copier has been left on overnight.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
Managing the Profiles Folders
Splash color profiles are located in the “Splash Color Data” folder in the
Preferences Folder within the System Folder. This folder contains three profiles folders:
â– Obsolete Profiles contains older versions of the Splash v4.0 color profiles.
(If you did not upgrade from Splash v4.0 to v5.0, this folder is empty.)
These profiles can be used with a Splash v4.0 server if needed. They are not used for Splash v5.0 color correction.
â–
â–
Old Style Profiles contains Splash v4.0 one-dimensional color profiles that were updated for use with Splash v5.0. If you created any custom color profiles with Splash v4.0, and then upgraded to Splash v5.0, your custom profiles are updated by Splash for use with v5.0 and then placed in this folder.
Calibration Sources contains the Splash v5.0 multi-dimensional color profiles.
To delete a color profile, be sure it is not selected in the Set Active Profiles
dialog box (see page 46), then remove the file from the Old Style Profiles folder
or Calibration Sources folder.

NetWare Direct Notes ..................................................................... 78
The Splash PCI Series Server makes it easy for clients on a TCP/IP or Novell
NetWare network to print to the Xerox or Fuji Xerox copier. No AppleTalk bridge software is needed.
For IPX printing from Novell NetWare, Splash creates a native Novell IPX connection from the Splash server to the Novell server. NetWare Direct delivers print jobs from a print queue on the Novell NetWare server to the Splash Server for processing. Once NetWare Direct is set up and activated, it operates automatically on the Splash Server each time a Novell client prints to the designated queue on the
Novell server. Splash NetWare Direct is simple to set up and supports all Novell
Ethernet frame types.
Setting Up TCP/IP and NetWare Direct Printing to Splash Page 57
Page 58
When TCP/IP Direct is enabled at the Splash Server, the server becomes a network printer. Splash accepts LPR/LPD print jobs and jobs from TCP/IP print queues set up on Windows NT or Novell NetWare servers. In addition, clients on a TCP/IP network can send TIFF, EPS, and PostScript files to the Splash Server for printing.
All software needed for both TCP/IP and IPX printing is automatically installed when you install the Splash Server software (pre-installed on Splash PCI Servers).
The Enterprise Networking software includes one control panel and four system extension files, which are automatically installed in the Mac OS System Folder during Splash installation.
Setting Up TCP/IP Direct Printing to Splash
This section describes how to set up the Splash Server to receive print jobs from clients on a TCP/IP network. To do this you need to connect the Splash Server to the TCP/IP network using the appropriate network cable, and set up the TCP/IP control panel. You can then enable TCP/IP print services in the Splash Server application preferences.
Note: TCP/IP, IPX, and AppleTalk networking can all run simultaneously on the same cable, or on different cables. For example, you can run at the same time
AppleTalk networking on Ethernet, and IPX networking on TokenRing.
Configuring the TCP/IP Control Panel
Use the TCP/IP control panel to set up an Internet address for the Splash Server.
You will need to assign the Splash Server a static Internet address so clients can reliably locate the Splash Server on the network. (A static IP address is required if you set up the server to use the Splash Web Queue Manager option.)
Before you begin, you need to have all address information available. Obtain a static Internet address (and subnet mask number if needed) from your network administrator.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
To set up an Internet address for the Splash Server:
1.
At the Splash Server point to Control Panels in the Apple menu, then select
TCP/IP in the submenu.
The TCP/IP control panel appears.
2.
Choose the network connection type for the Splash Server’s TCP/IP network in the Connect via menu.
3.
Select “Manually” in the Configure menu.
4.
Enter the IP Address for the Splash Server.
5.
Enter a Subnet mask number if needed. A subnet mask provides additional address information for some networks.
6.
Enter the Router address if needed. A network router maintains a list of IP addresses for two or more groups of network devices. The router then uses the list of addresses to direct network data to the appropriate location on the network. To enter two or more router addresses, press the Return key after you enter each address.
7.
Enter a Name server address for the DNS server on your network
(for example, design.corp.com).
8.
When you have finished entering network information, close the TCP/IP control panel. A dialog box asks you to confirm the new setup. Click OK.
You are ready to enable TCP/IP printing for the Splash Server.

â– Parse For Document Owner Name
When selected, the Document Owner name is extracted from each print job as it is received at the Splash Server. When this option is not selected, Enterprise
Networking determines the user name from the network connection.
â– Append UNIX Hostname to User Name
When selected, the network host name is added to the print job’s owner name that appears in the print queue and job log at the Splash Server. For example, when the user “Diane” prints from the UNIX host “Santana” the print job’s owner name is “Diane@Santana.” When this option is not selected, the print job’s owner name is “Diane.” For most situations, do not select this option.
Note: This option is useful for UNIX environments where all users share the same username, such as “root.”

Switching Between Printer and Copier Modes
To interrupt a print job to make copies,
1.
Press the Interrupt button on the printer/copier. The green Interrupt light flashes, and the display on the printer/copier tells you to wait. Printing stops when the page in the printer/copier has finished printing.
2.
When the Interrupt light goes out and the display on the printer/copier says
“Ready to make copies,” proceed with your copy job.
3.
When you finish making copies, press the yellow Clear All button. The printer/ copier goes back to printer mode in a few seconds, and printing resumes where it left off.
If the Interrupt light is on, and you see the message “Ready to make copies,” press the Interrupt button to turn the Interrupt light off, then press the All Clear button to resume printing.
If you do not press the Clear All button in step 3, a time-out feature returns the printer/copier to the printer mode after you finish using the copier. The time-out interval is one minute, by default, but can be changed. (Refer to the printer/copier manual for more information.) If the time-out interval is allowed to pass, the Splash
Server sends the next job in the queue, or the next copy of the interrupted job, to the printer.
You cannot interrupt a copy job to print, then resume the copy job where you left off once printing is completed. To cancel a copy job to print, press the Interrupt button, then press the yellow Clear All button. Printing begins immediately.
Changing the Paper Size in a Tray
Before you change a paper size in a printer/copier paper tray, choose Stop
Processing on the Splash Server to avoid misprinting an active job. After you insert a different size cassette, choose Continue Processing to resume printing. Refer to the printer/copier manual for complete instructions on how to change the paper size. See the Splash Set-up Manual for instructions on how to start and stop the
Splash Server.
When you insert paper or transparencies into the Bypass tray, the printer/copier defaults to its Paper Type (Bypass) mode. Push the yellow Clear All button on the printer/copier after you insert the paper or transparencies to return immediately to the print mode.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
LEF Paper Substitution
If you are using Auto Tray Select, and you choose an SEF paper size that is unavailable, the Splash Server substitutes the corresponding LEF paper size. Conversely, if you choose an LEF paper size that is unavailable, the Splash Server substitutes the corresponding SEF paper. In either case, the job prints with incorrect margins and the image may be clipped.
Correcting Out of Paper Errors
After a job is active, if there is no paper in the tray, the Splash system waits for you to add paper. A dialog box displays the amount of time you have to add paper. (The
Status DA also displays a warning.) If no paper is inserted during the wait interval, the job is transferred to the Error queue and displays an E (error) code in the Splash
Status DA and Server Status windows.
The amount of time the Splash Server waits before transferring the job to the Error queue is configured at the Splash Server. See the Splash PCI v5.0 Set-Up Manual for information.
Print jobs are transferred to the Error queue when:
â– You choose a specific tray in the Splash Print dialog box, and the paper size you specified in the Page Setup dialog box is not available in the tray.
â– You choose Automatic tray selection in the Print dialog box, and no tray is set for the correct size.
To print the job successfully, correct the error condition, then drag the job from the
Error queue to the Waiting queue in the Splash Server window. With the Splash
Remote Status DA (for Macintosh clients only), highlight the job in the Status DA window and choose Remove Hold from the Jobs menu.
Printing Full-Bleed Images
To print full-bleed Letter-size images at 400 dpi in both directions on Splash
Servers that support this feature, select an image size that is slightly larger than
8 1/2" x 11" (8 3/4" x 11 1/4", for example) in your application and print on
9" x 12" paper from a cassette tray, or choose Full Bleed Letter on Oversize in the
Page Setup dialog box Paper list and print from the Bypass tray.
Using the Printer/Copier Page 93
Page 94
To print full bleed A4 images at 400 dpi in both directions on the Splash Servers, select Full Bleed A4 on Oversize and print an image that is slightly larger than A4 from your application.
If you select Full Bleed Letter on Oversize, load any oversize paper (Tabloid paper is recommended) into the Bypass tray. If you select Full Bleed A4 on Oversize, load any oversize paper (A3 is recommended) into the Bypass tray. When you select the
Full Bleed paper sizes in Page Setup, Splash uses the Bypass tray regardless of the paper tray selection.
Printer Output Tray Maintenance
Though you can set Splash to print up to 999 copies, the output tray will only hold a maximum of 250 pages. You must empty the output tray during printing if you specify more than 250 copies so that the total number of copies in the tray never exceeds 250. When specifying 100 or more copies, a delay occurs after each multiple of 99 copies is printed.
Interruptions During Stack or Sort Printing
If the “Allow copier interrupt” option is selected in the Splash Server Preferences, and a print job is interrupted while performing Stack or Sort operations with the printer/copier sorter, Splash reprints all copies of the page that was printing when the interruption occurred. This causes one page of the print job to have more copies than expected. This will occur, for example, when a user interrupts a print job temporarily to use the copier, or when the current paper tray runs out of paper during the print job.
Printing to Heavy Weight Paper
Although the copier allows heavy weight paper to go to the catch tray of the sorter, jobs from Splash that use heavy weight paper always go to the stacker.
Printing to Transparencies
If you attempt to sort a transparencies job, the job does not print and no error message appears at the server. Splash does not support sorting transparency jobs.

Splash Error Messages
Installation Messages
Some INITs and control panel devices (cdevs) can interfere with the proper installation of your Splash software, resulting in an error message when you try to start the Splash Server application. Different messages appear for conflicts caused by different inits and cdevs.
If you see an error message when you try to launch the Server application and you have just installed (or reinstalled) your Splash software (or any other software), remove any unnecessary inits and cdevs from the Extensions and Control Panels folders. (Do not remove the Splash Risc Startup file from the Extensions folder; these files are required for the Server to operate properly.) Restart the Server and launch the Server application again. If this does not solve the problem, follow the
instructions in “Splash Diagnostics” on page 129.
Alphabetical Listing of Error Messages
This appendix contains an alphabetical list of messages that you may encounter while using the Splash Server. The recommended user action follows each message. These messages appear in one or more of the following areas:

Driver reported an error: “%% [error text]”
A PostScript error occurred during processing. Check that all printer description files (PDFs or PPDs) required by your application are properly installed, and that the proper printer description file was selected in the Page Setup or Print dialog box in your application.
If you are printing a PostScript file, try printing the file to another PostScript Level
2 printer. (If the file does not print successfully on this printer, the problem may be in your application. Contact the publisher of the application for Technical Support.)
If the file prints successfully, the PostScript file cannot be printed with Splash.
Re-create the file using the Splash printer driver. (PostScript files created with other drivers may not print reliably on Splash.) See any of the Printing to Splash... on-line manuals for more information about creating and printing PostScript files to be printed with Splash.
If you still have a problem, write down the error code that appears in the brackets, then call Technical Support.
Driver reported an error: “Timed out during error condition....”
A correctable error (“out of paper,” for example) was detected after the job was processed. The error was not corrected before the server’s error timeout elapsed, so the job was moved to the Error queue. Drag the job to the Waiting queue after ensuring the problem has been corrected.

Splash Diagnostics
The Splash Diagnostics application provides a way to troubleshoot the Splash
Interface Board quickly and accurately. Use the Splash Diagnostics application when printer output is abnormal, or when the Splash Server application fails to report an obvious error condition (for example, the printer/copier has a paper jam, or is turned off, but the error is not reported by the Server application).
Before Running Splash Diagnostics
Follow these steps before you run the Splash Diagnostics application.
1.
Disconnect the printer cable from the port on the Splash interface card.
(The interface card port protrudes through the back of the Splash Server.)
See the Splash Install Manual, or Splash Set-Up Manual for instructions on how to remove the cable.
2.
Install the diagnostics loopback connector: align the loopback connector with the port on the Splash interface card and push until the connector clicks into place.
Splash Diagnostics Page 129
Running the Splash Diagnostics Utility
1.
Double-click the Splash Diagnostics icon to start the diagnostics utility.
The Splash Diagnostics utility is located in the Splash Diagnostics Folder within the Splash Utilities folder on the Splash Server hard disk.
The Splash Diagnostics window appears.
Page 130
2.
Click Run.
The Reports status window shows the progress of each series of tests. When all tests have completed, the Diagnostics utility creates a file with the test results and places it in the same folder with the Diagnostics utility. If the Diagnostics utility reports errors for any tests, contact Xerox Technical Support and report the errors.
Splash PCI Series v5.0 Reference
3.
When the tests have completed, a message appears.
4.
Click Restart. The Splash Server CPU restarts.
Returning the System to Normal
After you run the Splash Diagnostics utility:
1.
Disconnect the loopback connector from the Splash interface card. To do this, squeeze the metal buttons on each side of the loopback connector and gently pull it out of the port on the Splash interface card.
2.
Connect the printer cable to the port on the Splash interface card. See the Splash Install Manual or Splash Setup Manual for instructions.
Troubleshooting After a Completed Test
If the Server application does not work, or if the printer/copier produces abnormal prints, even though all diagnostic tests ran successfully and xerographic copies are normal, the problem may be in the cable that connects the Splash interface card to the printer/copier. Replace the printer cable with a new cable. If you still need assistance, call Xerox Technical Support.

The InputAttributes dictionary always contains the actual installed page sizes for slots 0, 1, and 2. If the physical tray is not installed in the printer, the corresponding entry in the InputAttributes dictionary will be set to null. The only time this will happen for the main tray (slot 0) is when the printer is booted and the tray is not installed.
If a job is sent to the printer and the tray is removed—or the actual and softwarespecified tray sizes vary—a dialog box is displayed to alert the user to the problem.
The PostScript Interpreter has no role in this process.

Interpreter Parameters
The semantics for interpreter parameters appear in the Reference Manual. For more recent parameters and their semantics, see the Supplement.
2.1
User Parameters
User parameters can be altered, within reasonable limits, by any PostScript language program without requiring a password. The user parameters establish temporary policies on matters such as whether to insert new items into caches.
The setuserparams operator sets user parameters, and the currentuserparams operator reads their current values. The initial value of user parameters at the time the printer is turned on for the first time is product dependent. Unless otherwise specified, all user parameters are subject to save and restore .
The following table is a list of the user parameters present in the Xerox MajestiK
Printer/Copier.

System Parameters
System parameters, in many cases, permanently alter the overall configuration of a product. They are set using the operator setsystemparams and read using the operator currentsystemparams . In general, setting system parameters requires a password. System parameters are not subject to save and restore . Their values persist across jobs.

Device Parameters
Device parameters are set using the operator setdevparams and read using the operator currentdevparams . Device parameters are similar to system parameters in that they require a password, are global to the PostScript environment, and have similar persistence characteristics. As with system parameters, some of these parameters can be stored in non-volatile memory.
One property that distinguishes device parameters from both system and user parameters is that device parameters may be interdependent: the legality of a value for a given parameter might depend on the value of another parameter.
Device parameters are subdivided into sets that correspond to a particular device
( %Serial%, %disk2% , etc.). Even if two products have the same device, the parameters in the set might differ, for example, because the hardware support for that device differs.

Resource Categories
The following tables list the factory-installed categories and resource instances.
New resources of the regular resource categories can be installed by the user. For example, the user can add font and pattern resource. The categories of implicit resources represent built-in capabilities of the interpreter. For example, the Font-
Type category indicates that the interpreter understands types 0, 1, 3, 4,5, and 6.
There are also categories used to define new categories.
Most of the instances listed in the tables below are described in the Reference Man-
ual and the Supplement. The following information about instances is specific to the
Xerox MajestiK Printer/Copier.
