Printing from a USB device

You can print files from a USB device to the Fiery EXP8000/50. Files, including those that
originated on a Mac computer, can be saved to a USB device and downloaded directly to the
Fiery EXP8000/50.
You can print files automatically from a USB device to one of the standard print queues on
the Fiery EXP8000/50 (print, hold, or direct) or to published virtual printers. Verify with
your administrator that these connections are published in Setup. You can also print any of
the files on your USB device, specify where to send them, and select some print options. For
more information about virtual printers, see Utilities.
Before you print files from a USB device, ask your administrator to configure the appropriate
options. For more information about configuring options, see
There are two ways to print files from a USB device, automatic printing and manual printing.

Automatic printing

To print automatically to Print, Hold, or Direct queues or to published virtual printers with
the Print All setting, set up folders on your USB device with the names print, hold, and direct
and the names of any published virtual printers. When you plug the USB device into a USB
port on the Fiery EXP8000/50, the files in those folders are sent automatically to the
corresponding queues.
