Detailed Specifications
 IPP Support Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application level
protocol that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools
and technologies. This would allow end-user to print to a remote printer
on the Internet, as if it were attached to its local area network, by
specifying the URL. IPP uses HTTP protocol to provide the underlying
communication between the client and the server.
NOTE: Disabling the IPP service also blocks port 631.

PPDs and Print Drivers
PPDs are provided for Windows Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows
8 (Windows Hardware Quality Laboratories tested, [WHQL]) and Apple
Macintosh 10.5 or higher. The PC drivers are automatically installed when
the printers are installed in the respective PC platforms. Please refer to the
user's manual for further installation information. The EX-i/EX 80
Print Servers support the following drivers:
 Microsoft Windows WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) printer
drivers with Dynamic tray and Status reporting
 Macintosh OS 10 full feature drivers
 Adobe PostScript Printers Descriptions (PPD)
NOTE: PCL Print Server Drivers are not included.
EX-i / EX Print Server Software Limitations
System
 When Secure Erase is enabled (in Configure), certain tasks take longer
to complete. These tasks include:
- Deleting multiple
jobs
- Setting Job Properties for multiple jobs
- Backup and Restore.
NOTE:
When Secure Erase is enabled, do not let the hard disk drive fill to
maximum capacity. To keep disk storage at a manageable level, delete
the jobs in the Hold queue frequently.
 When printing from the EX Print Server via the EX Print Server
Advanced Controller Interface (FACI), if you want the default printer
of the EX Print Server to be one of the EX Print Server queues, you
must set the default printer manually from the FACI.
 Login from Remote Desktop; the login name for the administrator
when accessing the EX Print Server from Remote Desktop is admin
and must be lowercase.
Customer Expectation and Installation Guide
Printing
 If a job based on specific media type/weight (for example
heavyweight paper) exceeds page limit for selected finishing options
(for example: staple) the job is processed and canceled and the error
is displayed.
 Half Z-fold finishing option is ignored (without the warning message)
for unsupported media size/weight/type. Combination of supported
and unsupported media (Mixed Media based jobs) with selected Half
Z-fold finishing option is allowed.
 If you suspend and then resume printing a job, and then print a
second job, Suspend Printing is unavailable. In fact, Resume Printing
can still be selected, which is incorrect because the job is being
printed. To correct this issue, press Resume printing twice and the
Suspend Printing option will become available.
Print Options
 You cannot print on coated paper if Paper Source is set to Auto Tray
Select and Media Type is set to Any. You must choose a specific tray or
a specific coated media type.
 If the punch edge is selected not according to the job orientation the
job will still be printed without the punch and without the error
message.
 If the staple finishing option is selected not according to the job
orientation the job will not be printed, instead it will be canceled with
an error message.
 The Mirror option in the printer driver and the Mirror option in
Job Properties are mutually exclusive. Do not enable the option
in both places for the same job.
 To use the Paper Catalog option in Windows 7 when Two-Way
Communication is enabled, you must have Administrator privileges. Go
to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Print Management and
choose Run As Administrator. For more information, see Printing.
Command Workstation
 For color devices, if using the getTIFF macro, commonly used on
monochrome devices, the recommendation is to use getFORM. Using
getTIFF macros may impair performance. The macro, getFORM, has a
wider PDL format support and caching performance.
 If the EX Print Server does not have a static IP address and you want to
connect to the EX Print Server with Command WorkStation running on the
EX Print Server, enter 127.0.0.1 for the IP address or localhost.
 In Image Enhance Visual Editor, changes are applied to both
the selected job and any duplicates of the selected job.
 The maximum copy count in the PPD and Command WorkStation
job properties is 9999.
 The maximum number of spot colors per page in a composite
overprint file is 32. The maximum number of spot colors is 250 per page
with CMYK.
 When the hard disk of the color server is full, jobs sent to the server
will not print until the current job is finished and completed jobs are
removed from the Printer Queue.
 Jobs archived using any previous version of software may not
be backward compatible to other Fiery Print Servers.
 If any Tab or Insert sheet is inserted into a job using the Compose
Utility and that particular Tab/Insert is not loaded in the press, the job
will error out and move to the Printed Jobs Queue highlighted in pink. If
double-clicked this job will say no trays are associated with the media
inserted through Compose. Load this media in the press and re-submit the
job and it will print successfully.
Print Drivers and Printing
 Windows Print Server printer driver installed with Point and Print: If
you install the Windows Print Server printer driver with Point and Print
you may receive an error when you view the printer driver properties.
 Printing a job with incompatible Finishing print options: If you try to
print a job with incompatible Finishing print options you will receive a
message that Finishing could not be completed as selected.
