This section describes the role of the printer driver and explains how to use Windows 
and Mac OS printer drivers for Fiery printing.

The term “PostScript” by itself is used to refer to Adobe PostScript Level 2 or 

later. For more information on the PCL drivers for this copier, see the Printing Guide.

To take full advantage of the features of the Fiery, your print jobs must be sent as 
PostScript data. Since most applications cannot generate PostScript data directly, it is 
the function of a printer driver to interpret instructions from the application and 
convert them to PostScript data.

A PostScript printer driver also allows you to select print options specific to your 
copier. To do this, the printer driver must be matched with a PostScript printer 
description file (PPD) for your Fiery. The PPD contains information about the 
particular features supported by the Fiery and the copier. The PPD can be thought of 
as the lines of PostScript code in the file that are device-specific. When you print a job, 
the printer driver lets you choose among features by displaying print options.

A few PostScript applications can send PostScript data directly to the copier and 
present print options within the application interface. Even these applications, 
however, require that you use a PostScript printer driver.

Your Fiery user software includes Adobe PostScript printer drivers for Windows 95/98, 
Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers. These are the recommended printer 
drivers for printing to the Fiery. (See Getting Started for information on installing 
printer drivers.)

It is recommended that you set the print options initially in Fiery Setup (see the 
Configuration Guide). This provides you with a default configuration that is 
appropriate for most Fiery print jobs.
