2 EFI Fiery RIP 

Update Fiery Print Server 

Make sure to use the latest version of the Fiery print server, Command 

WorkStation and the printer driver. 

When updating individual components of Command WorkStation, make 

sure to select all components that should be updated or kept on your 

computer. All components that are not selected will be uninstalled. 

Always use the original PostScript printer driver of the printer manufacturer. 

PCL drivers are not suitable for ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web, as they 

do not provide color management with CMYK data. 

Connect to Fiery Print Server 

Start Fiery Command WorkStation and connect to the Fiery print server. 

If the print server is not listed, add it to the list: 

1. Click . 

2. Enter the printer’s IP address, then click CONNECT. 

3. Log in as ADMINISTRATOR and enter the password. 

If the print server is listed: 

1. Select the server from the list. 

2. Click to connect to it. 

3. Log in as ADMINISTRATOR and enter the password. 





Create Output Profile 


// WEB« 


The output profile defines the paper type loaded on the printer and the 

target density values (D-max) used for the printer calibration. We recommend 

to duplicate and edit one of the default profiles available in Command 

WorkStation. 

1. Select DEVICE CENTER | RESOURCES | PROFILES. 

2. Open the list of OUTPUT PROFILES. 

3. Duplicate an output profile that is suitable for the paper you are using. 

To do so, right-click this profile and select EDIT PROFILE. 




WEB« 




4. In the COLOR EDITOR, click SAVE, enter a new name for the new output 

profile, then click CLOSE. 

5. Double-click the new output profile and specify the properties of the 

paper. Example for ‘ORIS Pearl Digital 170 gsm’ paper: 

Media type: COATED 

Media weight: 151–176 GSM 

Also select the LABEL to be displayed instead of the profile name 

when editing the driver settings in applications that do not have access 

to the Fiery print server (bidirectional communication disabled). 

See also Disable Bidirectional Communication? (page 2-21). 





Create a Virtual Printer? 


// WEB« 


Fiery’s driver settings have to be adjusted to the requirements of ORIS 

Press Matcher⁄⁄Web. Most important is to completely switch off any color 

management, because this will be done by ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web. 

There are two general approaches. 

Virtual Printer 

Create a virtual Fiery printer, i.e. an additional Fiery print queue, and 

adjust the color setup of this virtual printer (see below). 

This is the recommended method, above all if only some of Fiery’s print 

jobs originate from ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web and many from other 

applications. Usually it is not acceptable to switch off color management 

for print jobs from other applications. 

However, virtual printers may not always work as expected. Sometimes 

driver settings do not persist, i.e. they change by themselves owing to 

problems of the Fiery software. Should this occur, using Fiery’s default 

print queues may be a possible workaround. 

Default Print Queue 

Change the default color setup of the Fiery print server. This applies to 

Fiery’s default print queues Hold, Print and Direct (see page 2-7). 

Use this approach only if all of the print jobs originate from ORIS Press 

Matcher⁄⁄Web or if the Fiery print server does not support virtual printers. 

If a default print queue is used, there are usually no problems with driver 

settings that do not persist, though this may also occur sporadically. 

The default print queues apply to all print jobs processed by the Fiery 

print server. Jobs that were not created by ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web 

are likely to be printed incorrectly, because no CMYK simulation 

profile is applied. 

How to Create a Virtual Printer 

1. In Command WorkStation, connect to the Fiery print server (see 

page 2-1). 

2. Select DEVICE CENTER | WORKFLOWS or GO | VIRTUAL PRINTERS. 

3. By default, three virtual printers are already set up to correspond to 

the Print, Hold, and Direct queues. 

Select one of these printers (we recommend Hold) and click DUPLI- 

CATE. Alternatively, click the NEW button. 




WEB« 




4. Enter a name for the new virtual printer. 

5. Select a job action: 

HOLD: 

PROCESS 

AND HOLD 

PRINT: 

PRINT AND 

HOLD: 

Jobs are spooled to the Fiery print server where they 

wait until the operator takes further action. 

We recommend to select HOLD for new print queues. 

This job action allows you to verify your print settings in 

Command WorkStation. Change the action to PRINT 

when the print settings are working correctly. 

Jobs are queued to process and then returned to the 

Hold queue. 

Jobs are queued to process and then print. Jobs that 

are processed already are queued to print. 

Jobs are queued to process and then print. The jobs are 

then returned to the Hold queue in a processed state. 

6. Click OK to close the dialog. 





Make Print Settings 


// WEB« 


If Virtual Printers are Used 


2. Click on the virtual printer and select EDIT. 

3. From the JOB PROPERTIES list, select DEFINE. A new dialog opens. 

4. Select the MEDIA tab. 

5. Set the MEDIA TYPE to COATED. 

6. Lock this option by clicking the icon. The icon changes to . 

Now users won’t be able to modify this option when printing jobs in 

ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web. Locking will only be applied if bidirectional 

communication is enabled for the printer (see also page 2-21). 

7. Select the IMAGE tab. 

Select a PRINTER SCREEN MODE. Make sure to use the same screening 

method throughout the entire printer setup and production process. 

Using the screening method inconsistently is like to produce incorrect 

colors. 

Set the IMAGE QUALITY to BEST. 

Make sure all other options are switched off or set to NORMAL. 

Click all icons on the IMAGE tab to lock these options. 




WEB« 




8. Select the COLOR tab. 

Set the COLOR MODE to CMYK and enable BLACK DETECTION and 

COMPOSITE OVERPRINT. Make sure all other options are disabled. 

Click all icons on the COLOR tab to lock these options. 

9. Click on BASIC SETTINGS. 

10.Make the settings explained under Color Setup (see below). 

If Virtual Printers are Not Used 

How to change the default color setup of the Fiery print server:

1. Select | DEVICES AND PRINTERS. 

2. Click on ADD A PRINTER to start a software wizard. 

Always click NEXT to proceed with the next step. 

3. Click on ADD A LOCAL PRINTER. 

4. Select CREATE A NEW PORT and STANDARD TCP/IP PORT. 




WEB« 




5. Enter the printer’s IP address. 

6. Click on HAVE DISK and browse for the printer driver files you have 

downloaded (see page 2-9). Select the file oemsetup.inf. 

Note: 

Make sure to select a PostScript driver. PCL drivers are not suitable 

for ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web, as they do not provide color management 

with CMYK data. 

7. If a driver is already installed for the printer, replace the current driver. 

8. Enter a printer name. The printer will be installed. 

9. Click FINISH. 







// WEB« 

Connect Printer to Fiery Queue 


2. Right-click the new printer and select PRINTER PROPERTIES. 

3. Select the PORTS tab and click CONFIGURE PORT. 




WEB« 




4. Make sure the LPR protocol is selected. 

5. Modify the QUEUE NAME. 

Enter the name of the virtual printer created in Fiery Command Work- 

Station (see page 2-5). If virtual printers are not used, enter the name 

of one of Fiery’s default print queues. There are three default queues: 

HOLD: 

PRINT: 

DIRECT: 

Jobs are spooled to the printer’s hard disk for printing at 

a later time or for repeated printing. Use Command Work- 

Station to print the held jobs. 

We recommend to select HOLD for new print queues. This 

job action allows you to verify your print settings in Command 

WorkStation. You can change the action to PRINT 

after testing the new setup. 

Jobs are processed and printed in the order received. 

Jobs prioritized by an operator from a job management 

tool and jobs sent through a DIRECT queue can take 

priority over jobs sent via a PRINT queue. 

Jobs are printed directly, but only when the printer is not 

processing another job. If the printer is busy, the job 

remains at the user workstation until the printer is ready. 

The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is 

finished and before the next queued job is processed. 

Jobs are not stored on the printer’s hard disk and cannot 

be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. This queue 

provides a measure of security for sensitive files. 

6. Select the ACCESSORIES tab. 

7. Make sure the following options are enabled: 





Internal Printer Calibration 


// WEB« 

Note: 

• TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION (bidirectional communication): Driver 

settings that have been locked in Command WorkStation are 

only protected against user modification if this option is enabled. 

Disable this setting only if Fiery driver settings do not persist. 

Switching of bidirectional communication may help in such cases. 

• UPDATE FIERY DRIVER WHEN OPENED: This options causes the 

Fiery driver settings to always be loaded automatically in ORIS 

Press Matcher⁄⁄Web or any other application program. The settings 

are loaded as soon as the driver setup dialog is opened. 

Always verify whether these settings are correct before starting 

to print. The settings may have been changed by someone else. 

8. Click UPDATE and OK. 


Set the printer into a linear state using its internal calibration function. 

1. Connect the measurement device to the computer that runs Command 

WorkStation and install the driver for this device. 

2. Start Command WorkStation and connect to the Fiery print server 

(see page 2-1). 

3. Load high-quality coated paper to make optimum use of the printer’s 

color gamut. We recommend to use ‘ORIS PearlDIGITAL 170 gsm’. 

Make sure to use the same paper type throughout the entire printer 

setup and production process. 

4. Select JOB CENTER | CALIBRATE to start the Calibrator. 




WEB« 




5. Click on EXPERT and then on RESTORE DEVICE. 

6. Select your measurement device. 

7. Set the media options in accordance with your paper, e.g.: 

MEDIA WEIGHT: 151-176 GSM 

MEDIA TYPE: COATED 

The program will automatically load the appropriate calibration target 

(D-Max values). If an error message appears, you have not yet associated 

these media settings with any output profile (see page 2-2). 

8. Click on PRINT. 

Select 34 SORTED PATCHES, the paper size and paper tray. 

It is important to print as many COPIES as required to sufficiently warm 

the printer up so that it is in a stable condition. In many cases 5–10 

copies are appropriate, but some printers (e.g. Xerox iGen 4 Digital 

Press) may require many more. 

Then click PRINT to output the calibration test chart. 







// WEB« 

9. Click on MEASURE, specify the options, then click on MEASURE. 

10.Measure the color strips of one of the last test charts printed. 

11.Optional: You may want to compare the measured and target density 

values. If so, select MEASUREMENTS VS. TARGET and click on VIEW. 




WEB« 




Make sure the correct output profile is selected. 

If the measured densities are considerably higher than the target 

densities, it may be a good idea to correct the output profile. This allows 

a larger portion of the printer’s color gamut to be used. 

Note down the measured values and proceed as described below. 

12.Close the dialogs by clicking DONE, APPLY and DONE. 

Correct Output Profile 

We recommend to correct the target density values (D-Max) in Fiery’s 

output profile, if considerably higher values were measured during calibration. 

You should set the target values a little lower than the measured 

values to allow for possible color drifts that may occur over time. 

Example: 

Target value in output profile: 1.60 

Measured value: 1.80 

New target value: 1.75 

1. Select DEVICE CENTER | RESOURCES | PROFILES. 

2. Open the list of OUTPUT PROFILES. 

3. Right-click the output profile you have created, e.g. ‘ORIS Pearl 

Digital 170 gsm’, and select EDIT PROFILE. 





Set up ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web Queue 


// WEB« 

4. Select the % DENSITY tab and enter the corrected D-Max values. 

5. Click SAVE, then CLOSE. 

6. Repeat the calibration process (see page 2-14). 


Start ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web and create an output queue for colormatched 

printing. The following is a brief summary of the steps to take. 

Refer to the ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web Quick Start Guide for more 

details. 

1. Click to start the Setup Wizard. Always click NEXT to proceed. 

2. Select the Windows printer you have created (see page 2-10). Make 

sure to use a printer connected to a Fiery Hold queue (see page 2-6). 

3. Enter a name for the new print queue. 

4. Click PROPERTIES to open the options of the Fiery printer driver. 




WEB« 




5. The print settings made in Command WorkStation are loaded automatically. 

The options you have locked are grayed out to make sure 

users won’t change them inadvertently (see figures below). 

Note: If you have disabled TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION (see page 2-21), 

make the appropriate settings on the MEDIA, COLOR and IMAGE tab. 







// WEB« 

6. Select the iterative color matching method to create a new 

ORIS_DAT color table. 

7. Having printed the first color matching test chart, inspect the print settings 

to see whether they are correct (see page 2-6). Owing to deficiencies 

in the Fiery software, some of these settings may not persist. 

To do so, start Command WorkStation, click on JOB CENTER, locate 

the print job in the list named HELD, then double-click the print job. 

If important options are set incorrectly (e.g. a CMYK simulation profile 

is selected), disable bidirectional communication and repeat the color 

matching process. Refer to page 2-21 for more details. 

8. Finish the queue setup in ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web. 

9. Having printed the first color-matched job via the new ORIS Press 

Matcher⁄⁄Web queue, you should verify the print settings in Command 

WorkStation again (see above). 

If there are Fiery print settings that differ from those made in Command 

WorkStation, disable bidirectional communication and repeat 

the color matching process. Refer to page 2-21 for more details. 




WEB« 



Disable Bidirectional Communication? 


Having checked a print job in the HELD queue of Command WorkStation, 

you may notice that some settings of the Fiery driver are different from 

what you have specified for the virtual printer or default queue in Command 

WorkStation. For example, a CMYK simulation profile may be 

selected although you have specified to use NONE. 

A workaround for this problem of the Fiery software may be to disable 

bidirectional communication for the Windows printer connected to the 

Fiery print queue. 

Drawbacks 

Disabling bidirectional communication has the following drawbacks: 

• The settings for the Fiery driver made in Command WorkStation are 

not loaded automatically when the driver setup dialog is opened. 

Make the settings in ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web (see below). 

• ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web users may inadvertently make incorrect 

color management settings. 

This is because the options are not protected, although they were 

locked when setting up the virtual printer in Command WorkStation 


• Users may have difficulties selecting the correct Fiery output profile, 

because the actual profile name is not displayed. 

Only labels such as OUTPUT-1 are listed and users have to look up 

the corresponding profile names in Command WorkStation. 

How to Disable Bidirectional Communication 


2. Right-click the printer and select PRINTER PROPERTIES. 

3. Select the ACCESSORIES tab. 

4. Disable the option TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION. 







// WEB« 

Set Fiery Options in Press Matcher 

1. Start ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web. 

2. Select the print queue and click to open the SETTINGS dialog. 

3. Select the DRIVER tab and click on SETUP. 

4. Click on PROPERTIES to display the options of the Fiery driver. 

5. On the MEDIA tab, specify the following for MEDIA WEIGHT and TYPE: 




WEB« 



Print Automatically 

6. On the COLOR tab, enable the following options: 

7. Click on EXPERT SETTINGS and set the options as shown below. 

To select the OUTPUT PROFILE, start Command WorkStation and look 

up the label that is associated with this profile (e.g. OUTPUT-1). 


Having successfully set up the printer and tested the driver options, it is 

no longer required to print to Fiery’s Hold queue. Jobs in this queue 

would have to be started manually in Command WorkStation. However, 

the jobs should print automatically now. 







// WEB« 

If Virtual Printers are Used 

Change the virtual printer such that jobs are printed automatically. 

1. In Command WorkStation, connect to the Fiery print server (see 

page 2-1). 


3. Select the virtual printer you have created (see page 2-4). 

4. Click EDIT. 

5. Change the JOB ACTION from HOLD to PRINT. 

6. Click OK to close the dialog. 

If Virtual Printers are Not Used 

Connect the printer to Fiery’s default queue named Print. To do so, refer 

to Connect Printer to Fiery Queue (page 2-12). Perform the steps 

described there. However, enter PRINT into the QUEUE NAME box.

3 Creo RIP 

Update Creo Print Server 

Always make sure to use the latest version of the Creo print server. It 

should include the latest version of the PostScript printer driver. 

PCL drivers are not suitable for ORIS Press Matcher⁄⁄Web, as they do 

not provide color management with CMYK data. 

Connect to Creo Print Server 

Usually the workspace of the Creo print server appears automatically. If 

it doesn’t, start the program via the Windows START menu. Then log in 

as ADMINISTRATOR. 







// WEB« 


Set the printer into a linear state using its internal calibration function. 

You will create a calibration table. 

1. Connect the measurement device to the Creo print server and install 

the driver for this device. 

2. Load high-quality coated paper to make optimum use of the printer’s 

color gamut. We recommend to use ‘ORIS PearlDIGITAL 170 gsm’. 

Make sure to use the same paper type throughout the entire printer 

setup and production process. 

3. Select FILE | PREFERENCES | CALIBRATION AND COLOR. Make sure 

CALIBRATION IS DONE USING DEVICE TOOL is enabled. 

4. Select TOOLS | CALIBRATION to start the CALIBRATION WIZARD. 

5. Select the media type, paper weight and output tray. Do not set the 

TRAY option to AUTO. 

Select a SCREENING method. Make sure to use the same screening 

method throughout the entire printer setup and production process. 

Using the screening method inconsistently is like to produce incorrect 

colors. 

Specify the NUMBER OF COPIES. It is important to print as many copies 

as required to sufficiently warm the printer up so that it is in a stable 

condition. In many cases 5–10 copies are appropriate, but some 

printers (e.g. Xerox iGen 4 Digital Press) may require many more. 

Then click PRINT to output the calibration test chart.
