Print jobs from Windows applications
To print from Windows applications, install the PostScript printer driver, and then specify print options for a
particular job before sending it to the Fiery ES 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 9.)
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 Fiery
ES and the printer. In these cases, use the print options specific to the Fiery ES and the printer. These options appear
on the Fiery Printing tab. The application may not set up the file properly for printing on the Fiery ES, 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 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 on page
23.)
