EFI Fiery ES IC-418 - Control Bar; Print a Job with a Control Bar

Control Bar
Control Bar allows you to add a static color bar and dynamic job information to each printed page at a user-defined
location.
•
The job information includes the print settings that were used to generate the page.
•
The color bar is typically a series of color patches designed for process control. An instrument, such as a
spectrophotometer, and special software such as EFI Color Verifier are required to measure and interpret the
color bar readings.
The Control Bar feature can apply a control bar to any job. It does not require the document designer to insert any
information and it does not require special commands other than the Control Bar print option.
Note: If a control bar does not fit on the page, it will be clipped.
Note: If a background color is defined as "white" for a user-defined control bar, it must be defined in the CMYK
color space. Setting CMYK rendering intent to Absolute Colorimetric simulates the white of the paper using CMYK
values.
Print a job with a control bar
If you want to print a job from an application and specify a user-defined control bar, Two-Way Communication
must be enabled in the printer driver. Otherwise, only the factory-supplied control bar is available.
1 In your application, select File > Print, select the Fiery ES as your printer, and then go to the print options in the
printer properties.
For information about how to set print options and print to the Fiery ES from Windows and Mac OS
applications, see Printing.
Alternatively, submit the job to the Fiery ES Hold queue and then set print options in Job Properties in Command
WorkStation.
2 On the Job Info tab, under Reporting, select a setting for the Control Bar print option.
Fiery is the factory-supplied control bar that prints the Ugra/Fogra Media Wedge by default.
3 Click OK and print the job.
