1-27 PostScript printer driver for Windows and Mac OS
C9800 Color Guide - 27
PostScript printer driver for Windows and Mac OS
To access the printer driver options described in this section, choose
Start > Settings > Printers (Windows 98/Me/NT/2000) or Printers and Faxes (Windows
XP/Server 2003), right-click the appropriate printer (PPD) name, and choose
Properties (Windows 98/Me), Document Defaults (Windows NT), or Printing
Preferences (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003) from the pop-up menu. To access the
Mac OS driver options, choose Print from the File menu of your application. These
settings are also accessible from the Print Setup or Page Setup dialog boxes of most
applications.
For Windows computers, the Fiery driver interface allows you to save combinations of
settings for later access. Additionally, you can choose different settings for individual
jobs from the applications you use.
The printer driver writes a PostScript file containing the instructions generated by your
application and the Fiery print options you chose. The printer driver sends the
PostScript file to the Fiery. The Fiery then performs PostScript processing and color
conversions and sends raster color data to the print engine.
NOTE: The following illustrations and instructions do not apply to all applications.
Many applications, such as Adobe PageMaker, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
QuarkXPress, and CorelDRAW, have other color management options in addition to
those presented in the printer driver. For information on specific applications, see the
Fiery Color Reference.
Setting color management print options for Windows

Printer Driver for Windows. This driver is a PostScript 3 printer driver that takes full

following procedures:
• Install the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver and the Fiery PPD (see the
User Software Installation Guide Chapter 1).
• Set up the Fiery for printing (see the Configuration Guide).
• Install the ICC output profile for the Fiery on your Windows computer (see the
User Software Installation Guide Chapter 1).
