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 6-7).
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 6-1).
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.
