Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Fiery EX12 产品宣传页

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

The Fiery receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) them, and 
then sends them to the copier/printer. Windows and Mac OS computers 
communicate with the Fiery by means of a printer driver and printer description 
(PPD) files. The driver allows you to use special features of the Fiery 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, a language the printer understands. In other words, the printer driver 
writes a PostScript 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 file for your Fiery. A PPD 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.
