Preparing files to print at a remote location
If you prepare files to take to a service bureau or some other location with a
RIP Station, you can set up the printer in Windows to print to the File port. Printing
to the File port creates a new file that includes your job with all its print settings. When
the file is eventually printed, you get the same quality output as if you had printed the
file yourself.
Even if you do not print files at a remote location, you can print to the File port to
create a file to be downloaded with the Fiery Downloader. For information, see
"Printing with the Fiery Downloader" on page 4-3.
