How the Fiery works
 
The Fiery receives files from computers on the network, processes (RIPs) those files, 
and then sends them to the copier’s print engine for printing. Even with the Fiery 
installed, you can still use the copier to make copies.
Windows and Mac OS computers communicate with the Fiery by means of a 
PostScript printer driver and PostScript printer description (PPD) files. Windows 
computers can also communicate with the Fiery 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 Fiery from the Print dialog box. 
 
About printer drivers and PPDs/PDDs
 
A printer driver manages printing communication between your application software 
and the printer. It interprets the instructions generated by the application software, 
merges those instructions with printer-specific PPD/PDD options you specify, and 
translates all that 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 PPD/PDD file contains information about a particular device’s features and 
capabilities (for example, what paper sizes and media types are supported). The printer 
driver reads the information in the PPD/PDD 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 includes information about the features of both the copier and the 
Fiery X12/XP12 Color Server.
