Windows for C9 Server

The C9 Server can be set up as a printer on a Windows computer by installing the printer driver that corresponds to your printer and setting up the C9 Server for printing.

Printer drivers provide a way to communicate information about print jobs between your applications, the C9

Server, and the printer.

Installing Windows printer drivers

Installing the printer driver is the first step to set up the C9 Server as a printer.

The User Account Control (UAC) feature is available on computers with the Windows operating systems supported by the C9 Server. You must be the administrator or a user with Administrator privileges to install printer drivers. For information about supported operating systems, see Configuration and Setup.

Note:

If the C9 Server printer driver is already installed, you must uninstall it before you install a new driver. (See

Uninstall printer drivers from Windows client computers on page 18.)

Installing printer drivers with Point and Print

SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing) allows you to install PostScript printer drivers on your computer from the C9 Server with Point and Print.

You can then print to a particular connection (Print queue, Hold queue, Direct connection or the name of the virtual printer).

If the Sequential Print queue is enabled on the C9 Server, then the sequential print connection is available.

Sequential Print allows the C9 Server to maintain the job order on certain jobs sent from the network. The workflow is 'First In, First Out' (FIFO), respecting the order in which the jobs were received over the network. For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.

Each connection requires a separate installation. Repeat the procedure for each connection.

When you install the printer driver using Point and Print, you cannot configure installable options manually. The

installed options are displayed as the C9 Server configuration in the printer driver. (See Configure installable options on Windows client computers on page 24.)

Before you begin, ask your administrator to do the following in Setup on the C9 Server:

•

Assign the C9 Server a valid IP address.

The IP address or DNS name is required in the following procedure.

•

Configure the C9 Server for SMB printing.

Note:

SMB printing is referred to as Windows Printing in Setup and on the Configuration page.

To print from Windows applications, install the PostScript printer driver, and then specify print options for a particular job before sending it to the C9 Server for printing.

Be sure to configure the options on the Advanced tab of the printer driver after installation is complete. (See

Installing Windows printer drivers on page 10.)

If you print to a virtual printer, you may not be able to set some print options, depending on how the virtual printer is configured.

Some print options that are selectable from an application are similar to print options that are specific to the C9

Server and the printer. In these cases, use the print options specific to the C9 Server and the printer. These options appear on the Fiery Printing tab. The application may not set up the file properly for printing on the C9 Server, resulting in unexpected finishing, printing errors, or longer processing time.

If you specify incompatible print settings when printing a document, the Conflict dialog box provides instructions to resolve the conflict.

Some print options, such as expert color settings, Paper Catalog, and VDP master information, are available only if

Two-Way Communication is turned on or a particular installable option is configured. For information about Two-

Way Communication, see printer driver help. (See Configure installable options on Windows client computers

Print Options describes the C9 Server printer driver, available print options, and where to set print options to print your jobs successfully.

About the C9 Server printer driver

Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the C9 Server by means of a printer driver and a PostScript

Printer Description (PPD) file. A PPD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular printer (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported) and the C9 Server.

A printer driver manages printing communication between your application and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application, merges those instructions with printer-specific options you set, and then translates all information into Adobe PostScript, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver writes a PostScript file based on your original file and the options you set from the Print dialog box.

The C9 Server receives files from computers on the network, processes the files, and then sends them to the printer.

For information about the specific print options for the C9 Server, see Print options and default settings on page

69.

Set print options for the job

Print options give you access to the special features of your printer and the C9 Server.

You can specify print options in these areas:

•

Setup

Some settings are specified during the initial C9 Server configuration by the administrator. For information about the current default server settings, contact the administrator or operator.

•

Applications

With the printer drivers provided, you can specify job settings when you print a job.

•

Color Setup

You can set the default CMYK/Grayscale Source, CMYK/Grayscale Processing Method, RGB Source, Separate

RGB/Lab to CMYK Source, Output Profile, RGB/Lab Rendering Intent, Spot Color Matching, Gray (CMYK),

Gray (RGB), Black Text and Graphics, and Black Overprint settings. (See Color Printing.)

Hot Folders

You can assign a group of print options to a Hot Folder. When you specify print options for a Hot Folder, the print options are assigned to all jobs sent through that Hot Folder. These print options override any default options.

For information, see Hot Folders Help.

•

Overrides in Command WorkStation Job Properties

To change job settings from Command WorkStation, double-click a job to display the Properties dialog box.

For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.

Print option override hierarchy

Print option settings that were specified in the printer driver can be overridden in Command WorkStation Job

Properties.

The override hierarchy is as follows:

•

Settings from the user’s printer driver override the C9 Server Setup settings.

•

Settings assigned to Hot Folders override the user’s printer driver settings.

•

Settings made from the job management tools (Command WorkStation Job Properties) override the user’s printer driver settings.

Print options and default settings

You can use the printer driver interface to configure a particular print option to print a job. If you choose not to configure the print option, the C9 Server prints the job with the default setting.

For options that the administrator configures, choosing Printer’s default results in the C9 Server printing the job with the factory default.

For options that cannot be configured in Setup, the C9 Server prints the job with a preconfigured Printer’s default setting. When you select the printer driver for North America, the default Document size is Letter or for

International, the default Document size is A4.

To determine the current Setup defaults, print the Configuration page from Command WorkStation. (See

Configuration and Setup.)

Note:

A job uses the C9 Server default settings (unless otherwise specified) at the time it is processed for printing, not at the time it is sent to the C9 Server Hold queue.

The print options are organized according to the printer driver icons (tabs).

Job Info options

The Job Info tab shows all information about the job, including user information that may be required for user authentication and job handling.

Composite overprint

Design applications are typically set to knock out objects.

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

Printing).

Select this option to overprint objects that are specified in the source PostScript or PDF file.

ImageViewer Curves

The ImageViewer Curves print option lets you apply color curve edits from ImageViewer that have been saved on the server as a preset.

ImageViewer in Command WorkStation can be used to edit the CMYK curves of a job on the C9 Server. These curve edits can be saved as a preset and applied to other jobs. Use the Curves option to select a preset for your job.

Factory-supplied curve edits apply some typical color corrections:

•

Lighter highlights

•

Midtone boost

•

No correction

•

Shadow detail

•

Reduce C (cyan) cast

•

Reduce M (magenta) cast

•

Reduce Y (yellow) cast

After the job is processed, the edits become part of the job and are no longer visible as edits when you view the job in

ImageViewer.

For more information, see Color Printing.

Substitute colors

Select Substitute colors to use the substitute color values defined in Spot-On.

Optimize RGB transparency

You can use the Optimize RGB transparency option to achieve correct color output for areas of overlapping transparent RGB or Lab colors (such as a drop shadow) in a PDF job.

Turn on to achieve correct color output for areas of overlapping transparent RGB or Lab colors (such as a drop shadow) in a PDF job.

If you turn on Optimize RGB Transparency, the C9 Server uses the correct RGB source profile and rendering intent when converting the overlapping RGB colors to CMYK during the PDF-to-PostScript conversion. If you turn off

Optimize RGB Transparency

, the area of overlapping colors might print with incorrect color or undesirable artifacts.

When Adobe PDF Print Engine Preferred is turned on, this option is to recognize blending color spaces in the job, which can improve output for some blend modes when RGB blending color spaces are used.

This option is only accessible from Command WorkStation Job Properties, Hot Folders, and Virtual Printers. (See

Color Printing).

About Booklet Maker imposition

Imposition is the process of printing multiple pages on single sheets of paper.

When imposed sheets are folded together as signatures, the pages follow in sequential, or reading, order. Booklet

Maker is designed for 2-up imposition, which imposes four individual pages from your document on a single sheet that is printed duplex.

The order in which pages are imposed is determined by the binding method that you select.

Booklet Maker and Impose

Booklet Maker settings are supported by Impose, if turned on.

You can open a job with Booklet Maker settings in Impose to preview the imposition layout or further modify the imposition layout, if necessary.

Impose translates and maps all Booklet Maker settings to Impose commands.

Note:

When a job with Booklet Maker settings has been edited in the Impose window, the job can no longer be edited in Booklet Maker. Impose offers more settings that cannot be mapped to Booklet Maker settings.

For more information about Impose, see Utilities.

Booklet Maker cover options for Saddle booklets

For Saddle only, Booklet Maker includes two cover options: pre-printed or inline, for which you can specify media.

You can specify additional options for an inline cover by specifying the following cover options:

•

Content input

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

•

Front & Back Separately

: Select this option to specify an inline cover that prints the cover pages and body pages as a single job. Separate pages from your document are imposed on a single sheet that forms the cover pages of your booklet.

You can specify an inline cover when your original document includes the cover pages and/or cover artwork for your booklet. The cover content may be the first and last pages of your document, or the first two and last two pages of your document, or any combination.

If you select this option, you can specify the Front cover and Back cover options.

•

Pre-Printed

: Select this option to insert a pre-printed cover that will be merged with the body pages of your booklet, which print separately.

If you select this option, the Front cover and Back cover options are disabled.

•

Front cover

and Back cover: These options allow you to quickly decide whether your front and back covers print duplex, single-sided, or both sides blank, without needing to add blank pages in your original document.

With top-edge binding that includes a cover, the outside of the back cover automatically rotates 180 degrees to match the orientation of the front cover.

•

Define Cover

: This option allows you to select cover media settings for your cover pages, which may be trimmed.

This option is available for both pre-printed and inline covers.

Printing Booklet Maker jobs

Booklet Maker does not support jobs sent to the Direct connection. Booklet Maker print jobs must be sent to the

Print

Defining and printing custom page sizes

With custom page sizes, you define the dimensions of a printed page. After you define a custom page size, you can use it from within an application without redefining it each time you print.

When you create custom page sizes, specify width dimensions to correspond with the shorter side of your job and specify height dimensions to correspond with the longer side of your job. Set custom page sizes in this way, regardless of the orientation settings in the application.

1 Portrait orientation

2 Landscape orientation

3 Height

4 Width

Note:

Custom page sizes are not supported with Imposition jobs.

For information about defining and printing custom page sizes, see printer driver help.

Document size and Paper size

Document size is the page size defined in your application’s Print setup (or Page setup) dialog box.

Paper size

is the size of the actual sheet of paper on which your job is printed. It may be useful to think of Document size

as digital input (the page size defined in your original document) and Paper size as the physical output (the actual size of the paper in the printer tray).

In cases when you print one document page per sheet of paper, Document size is usually the same as the Paper size.

However, Document size may differ from Paper size when you print booklets or impose multiple document pages on a single sheet.

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

Document size

may also differ from Paper size when using the Scale or Scale to fit options. The Scale option reduces or enlarges the document page at a specified percent. The Scale to fit option automatically reduces or enlarges the document image to fit the selected paper size.

For information about Document size and Paper size in booklet printing, see Booklet Maker Help.

Gang-up printing

Gangup layout options are used for speed printing imposition modes.

The C9 Server includes two speed-printing options for gang-up printing:

•

Step & repeat

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

Cut & stack

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

4 Face down - reverse order

Printing

Print Options

108

Do one of the following for 2-sided (duplex) printing:

•

Select Face up for 2-sided sheets delivered into the output tray with copies facing up, with normal order for side

1 of the first sheet on the top of the stack, or reverse order for side 2 of the first sheet on the bottom of the stack.

•

Select Face down for 2-sided sheets delivered into the output tray with copies facing down, with normal order for side 2 of the last sheet on the top of the stack, or reverse order for side 1 of the last sheet on the bottom of the stack.

1 Face up - normal order

2 Face up - reverse order

3 Face down - normal order

4 Face down - reverse order

Note:

When using a finisher that reverses the order of the stack, you can specify normal order so that when the stack is fed through the finisher, the pages are delivered in the correct order.

Pad printing

Pad printing gives you control over printing multiple copies of a job without having to perform unnecessary mental calculations or requiring multiple steps every time.

With the Pad printing print options on the Finishing tab of the printer driver or Command WorkStation Job

Properties, you can specify pad-printing parameters. You can define the contents of each pad, including the number of times the job repeats within a pad.

It duplicates a single job as many times as defined in the Pad printing settings to create one finished or merged pad.

You can add a back cover or slip sheet between each pad.

Pad printing also allows you to simply assemble printed pads with a back cover, similar to sticky notes. When cover has been turned on for pad printing, the page size and orientation of the cover media should be the same as the main job.

Printing

Print Options

109

You can use the Job copies per pad print option to specify the number of pads in the job. Pad copy packs are offset in the output tray for easy separation for offline binding.

An example of a job printed with the Pad printing settings.

1 Each sheet of each pad is printed duplex (double-sided) and repeated 25 times.

2 A slip sheet is inserted after each pad. This slip sheet can be any choice of media.

3 A back cover is added.
