Running Antivirus Software
The EX Print Server has not provided testing on any specific anti-virus software. One should refer to the user
documentation on how best to choose appropriate antivirus software and what settings should or should not be enabled
on the EX Print Server .
Commercially available software programs (with the exception of Virus Protection Software) should not be loaded onto
the EX Print Server. Additional programs will limit the available disk space the color server requires to operate efficiently.
The EXi Print Server is run on a Linux platform that is a dedicated OS to run only on the Fiery Server. Loading antivirus
software may not perform properly if loaded on the Print Server. This dedicated OS is not vulnerable as a general Linux
OS.
Security
Security threats are defined as issues that compromise the integrity of the system, hampering the integrity of job data,
compromising secured feature access, or allowing unauthorized data access. The recommends installation of network
devices be done in accordance with existing security paradigms. The Fiery™ Print Server core software includes security
features. To create a more secure network environment, end-users will need to combine the Fiery™ Print Servers' security
features with other security safeguards.
Both the Integrated Fiery Color Server for the Color C60/C70 Printer and the EX Print Server, Powered by Fiery® for the
Color C60/C70 Printer contain Secure Erase to ensure the safety of the data on the server hard drive.
•
This feature is enabled by default on the EX-i Integrated Fiery Color Server, and may impact productivity rates.
Settings can be modified to reduce this impact.
•
This feature is disabled by default on the EX Print Server, but can be enabled by adjusting your settings.
Some IT communities may request a Level of Volatility [LOV]. This document is available. Ask your sales representative
for further details.
Non-standard Paper Size Support
The Color C60/C70 Printer supports non-standard paper sizes. However, due to rounding and unit conversions that occur
in the client applications, print server, and printer, some mismatch may occur between the paper size entered at the
application and the paper size that must be entered at the printer. The operator may need to adjust the entered paper
dimensions by up to 2.5 mm in order for the printer to detect that the requested paper size has been loaded. In addition,
the printer interprets some paper sizes included in the PPD as non-standard sizes.
Customer Service and Support
Periodically, Xerox will make available bug fixes and other software releases. Some of these bug fixes and upgrades are
designed to be customer installable. Bug fixes in the form of software patches can be obtained from EFI.com/Xerox.com
or by enabling automatic updates. Future upgrades may have costs associated with them.
Software Replacement
If lost, or misplaced, replacement software and documentation is available to be purchased. You can work with your local
Fuji Xerox Representative. Fuji Xerox personnel may not be able to provide services unless these materials are available.
Adobe PDF Print Engine
The EX Print Server now supports APPE* v3.0 (Adobe PDF Print Engine) offering native end-to-end pdf workflows. This
technology provides important features:
•
Improves the consistency and flexibility of PDF output from design to print. Supports live transparency and
spot color overprinting rendering.
•
Adobe Common Rendering Engine (ACR): Adobe Creative Suite and RIP technologies now use a single
rendering engine.
The EX Print Server can process CPSI and APPE workflows simultaneously, ensuring all jobs will meet customer demands,
appearance and performance.
* APPE is not available on the Xerox Integrated Fiery Color EX-i Server.
File Creation
Even with the ability to process files through the Adobe PDF Print Engine there can be variations in processing times and
color when comparing this to the traditional CPSI PostScript pathway. It is always best to create files appropriate for the
intended production workflow. Image source color profiles, common color conversion working spaces, live vs. flattened
transparency should all be considered prior to creation for best end results.
Images that are scaled and rotated to their appropriate angle, size and resolution prior to being placed in a design program
will typically process better. Always refer to a design guide for advice.
Always read the full documentation and understand how PDFs affect color paths with the print engine. Adobe has several
booklets available on PDF creation such as How to Create the Perfect PDF, and Designer's Guide to Transparency for Print
Output. These documents are downloadable from Adobe's web site at http://www.adobe.com/studio/print/.
