Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Splash G620 Guida Utente

The Splash server provides three options for handling the PostScript spool file created during 
printing. These options are available on a Splash client computer as well.

•

Print and Delete automatically deletes the spool file after printing the job.

•

Print and Save saves the spool file after printing. The job is transferred to the Hold queue with 
the message “PostScript spool file saved as requested.”

•

Send and Hold sends the spool file directly to the Hold queue after the Splash server receives it.

Saving the spool file is useful when small quantities of the same file must be printed occasionally. 
Change print options for the saved spool file before printing with the Splash server application.

Saved spool files remain in the Hold queue until deleted. To delete a spool file:

•

Select it in the Splash server Hold queue, then press the Delete key.

•

Choose Delete Job from the Jobs menu.

•

Drag the spool file to the trash.

Page layout applications such as PageMaker and Quark XPress can print pages with a single color 
isolated from the whole image. These are copied on film image setters so each page is converted to 
one or more (usually four) output grayscale “pages.” Separations printed on a printer that does not 
have a special separation feature will produce one grayscale page per color on the original page.

The Splash server can re-composite these individual pages back into multi-color pages to produce a 
proof equivalent to the proof produced from the films by conventional means. The primary benefit of 
separation is to show overprinted objects with proper colors and to make trapping visible.

The Splash Separation print option prints a composite page from applications that support 
separation printing.

•

Select Automatic to apply the Splash Separation feature to all your separation print jobs. This 
default option supports CMYK plates plus any number of plates in PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or 
DIC if these press colors are supported by your separation application. This option supports 
separation generated by any application. With this option selected, the Splash server supports 
the full range of PANTONE, Toyo, HKS, or DIC colors and tints.

•

Select None to disable the Splash separation feature.

Due to limitations in PageMaker and Quark XPress, RGB graphics are converted to CMYK and 
therefore look similar. RGB images are converted to grayscale and appear as gray in the output.
