Print Options
Print Options describes the Fiery ES printer driver, available print options, and where to set print options to print
your jobs successfully.
About the Fiery ES printer driver
Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the Fiery ES 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 Fiery ES.
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 Fiery ES 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 Fiery ES, see Print options and default settings on page 63.
