Print Options
Print options give you access to the special features of your copier and Fiery EX2101. 
Print options can be specified in several places—in Fiery EX2101 Setup, or from the 
printing application, Fiery Downloader, and the job management tools. The table in 
this appendix briefly describes each print option and default setting, and provides 
information on any constraints or requirements in effect.
About printer drivers and printer description files
The Fiery EX2101 receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) 
them, and then sends them to the copier. Windows and Mac OS computers 
communicate with the Fiery EX2101 by means of a printer driver and printer 
description (PPD) files. Windows computers can also communicate with the 
Fiery EX2101 by means of a Printer Control Language (PCL) printer driver and PDD 
files (PCL’s equivalent of PPD files). Both drivers enable you to use special features of 
the Fiery EX2101 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 copier. To do this, the 
printer driver must be matched with a PPD/PDD file for your Fiery EX2101.
A PPD/PDD file contains information about the features and capabilities of a 
particular device (for example, what paper sizes and media 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 
Fiery EX2101 includes information about the features of both the copier and the 
Fiery EX2101. For information on the specific print options for the Fiery EX2101, see 
the table on
