Print Options
Print options give you access to the special features of your printer and EX7750. Print
options can be specified in several places—in EX7750 Setup, or from the printing
application, Fiery Downloader, ColorWise Pro Tools, Command WorkStation/
Command WorkStation LE, or Fiery Spooler. The table in this appendix briefly
describes each print option and its default setting, and provides information on any
constraints or requirements in effect.

About printer drivers and printer description files
The EX7750 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) them, and
then sends them to the printer. Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with
the EX7750 by means of a printer driver and printer description (PPD) files. Windows
computers can also communicate with the EX7750 by means of a Printer Control
Language (PCL) printer driver and PDD files (the PCL equivalent of PPD files). Both
drivers enable you to use special features of the EX7750 from the Print dialog box.

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 specify, and translates all information
into PostScript or PCL, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer
driver writes a PostScript or PCL file based on your original file and the options you set
from the Print dialog box.

A printer driver also allows you to select print options for your printer. To do
this, the printer driver must be matched with a PPD/PDD file for your EX7750. A
PPD/PDD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a particular
device (for example, what paper sizes and paper types are supported). The printer
driver reads the information in this file and presents that information to you in the
form of options you can choose from the Print dialog box.The PPD/PDD for the
EX7750 includes information about the features of both the printer and the EX7750.
