Print options

The Colorwriter's efficient PostScript capabilities allow customers to
use a variety of applications to create printed pages with text,
images, or a combination of text and images, and print them in
Contone or Halftone mode. The Colorwriter operates over a
network or by printing directly to the Colorwriter's parallel port.
™
RIP-While-Print allows the printer to print an image while
processing the next image.
The Colorwriter offers an efficient way to print files that have been
saved in PostScript or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format. These
files can be downloaded directly to the Colorwriter using the
Fiery XJ Downloader, one of the remote utilities provided with
Colorwriter.
With the parallel port option, customers can print documents
directly from applications running on a PC-compatible computer or
a server that is connected to the Colorwriter's parallel port.
PostScript files can also be printed to the parallel port from the
DOS prompt or the Windows File Manager.
Client utility software
Colorwriter users who are working with Macintosh and
PC-compatible computers using AppleTalk can download fonts and
flies, scan color images, and control spooled print jobs using client
software delivered with the Colorwriter. The network administrator
at the customer site is responsible for loading software onto
computers that will use the Colorwriter over the network.
The Colorwriter user software floppy disks (for Macintosh or PC-
compatible computers) contain the following software:
The Fiery XJ Downloader ™ is a utility that allows the user to
•
download PostScript or EPS files directly to the Colorwriter
without opening the file or the application that created the file.
The Fiery XJ Downloader also allows the customer to manage
the printer fonts installed on the Colorwriter's hard disk.
The Fiery XJ Spooler ™ is a utility that allows a user to control
•
Colorwriter print jobs from a networked Macintosh or PC
computer. It allows the user to view the order and priority of
jobs, delete jobs, and move jobs between queues.
• A set of Adobe Macintosh screen fonts that correspond to the
PostScript printer fonts resident on the Colorwriter.
