FCC Information
WARNING: FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by
the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Class B Declaration of Conformity
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-
approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that
changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.

ES3640e MFP EFI Printing Guide - 11
This manual is part of a set of Fiery Network Controller for
ES3640e MFP, herein referred to as the “Fiery,” documentation
that includes the following manuals for users and system
administrators. Most are available as Acrobat PDF (Portable
Document Format) files on the User Documentation CD.
•TheUser Software Installation Guide describes how to install
software from the User Software CD to enable users to print to
the Fiery Network Controller for ES3640e MFP with the EFI
PostScript driver, and also describes setting up printing
connections to the Fiery.
•TheConfiguration Guide explains basic configuration and
administration of the Fiery for the supported platforms and
network environments. It also includes guidelines for setting up
UNIX, Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, and Novell NetWare
servers to provide printing services to users.
•ThePrinting Guide describes the printing features of the Fiery
for users who send jobs from their computers using the EFI
PostScript driver.
•TheColor Guide provides information on managing the color
output of the Fiery. It explains how to calibrate your Fiery and
take advantage of the ColorWise®color management system, as
well as features in ColorWise Pro Tools™.
•TheFiery Color Reference addresses concepts and issues
associated with managing color output of the Fiery and outlines
key workflow scenarios. In addition, it offers information on
printing color documents from popular Microsoft Windows and
Apple Mac OS applications.
•TheJob Management Guide explains the functions of the job
management utilities, including Command WorkStation™,
Command WorkStation LE™, and DocBuilder Pro™, and how you
can use them to monitor and control jobs on the Fiery.

12 About this manual
ES3640e MFP EFI Printing Guide - 12
The Fiery Network Controller for ES3640e MFP is used to print
final documents or proof jobs that will be printed later on an offset
press. You can send a print job to the Fiery as you would to any
other printer—select it in the Print dialog box and then print from
any application on your computer.
Note:The term “Fiery” is used in this manual to refer to the Fiery
Network Controller for ES3640e MFP. The name “Aero” is used in
illustrations to represent the Fiery. The term “Windows” is used to
refer to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, wherever
appropriate. The term “Setup” is used to refer to configuring the
Fiery for proper performance in your network environment,
including settings that affect all jobs. The term “job management
tools” is used to refer to Command WorkStation, Command
WorkStation LE, and Fiery Spooler™.
Although it may not be the case at all sites, it is assumed that an
operator controls and manages jobs sent by users from remote
workstations. For information on the features of the job
management tools, see the Job Management Guide.

ES3640e MFP EFI Printing Guide - 14
This chapter describes printing to the Fiery from Windows
computers. You can print from a networked Windows computer or
a computer using Windows (WINS) printing. You can also print to
a file so that it can be printed at a remote location (see “Saving
files to print at a remote location” on page 1-41). In addition to
these methods, you can download files to the Fiery using Fiery
Downloader (see Chapter 4), and print documents using Hot
Folders and Fiery E-mail Services (see Chapter 7 and Chapter 9,
respectively).
Note:For information on setting up the Windows environment for
printing with Windows servers connected to the Fiery, see the
Configuration Guide Chapter 2. For information about connecting
to the Fiery over the network, installing printer drivers, and
installing Fiery®utilities, see the User Software Installation Guide
Chapter 1.
Printing from applications
Once the Fiery printer driver is installed and set to the proper
port, as described in the User Software Installation Guide, you
can print directly from most Windows applications. Set the print
options for the job and choose the Print command from within
your application.
To achieve the best printing results from specific applications, see
the Color Guide and the Fiery Color Reference.
Setting options and printing from Windows
computers
To print from Windows computers, install the corresponding
PostScript printer driver. The drivers are included supplied on
CD1. Once the printer driver and a corresponding printer
description file are installed, you can specify print settings for a
particular job and print it to the ES3640e MFP. You can also set

default print settings using the driver.
To print from Windows applications by connecting your computer
to a print server via the network, a Novell NetWare, Windows NT/
2000/Server 2003, or UNIX server is required. For more
information, see the Configuration Guide Chapter 2.
To print from Windows applications without connecting to a print
server, you can use Server Message Block (SMB) printing, often
referred to as “Windows Printing”. For more information, see
Chapter 1 of the User Software Installation Guide.
The following procedures explain how to use the driver to specify
print options. For information about specific print options, see
Appendix A.
Note:The following procedures use Windows 2000 illustrations.
To set print options for a specific Windows print
job using the PostScript printer driver
1. Choose Print in your application.
2. Select the ES3640e MFP as your printer and click Properties.

If you choose Printer’s default, the job prints according to the
settings specified in Setup. For more information, see Appendix A.
Note:If paper loaded in the selected tray is a different size,
orientation, or media type than that of the job you are sending,
the ES3640e MFP displays an error message and the job will not
print. You should then load the correct paper in the selected tray
or cancel the job.
Note:If you specify incompatible print settings, the Conflict dialog
box provides instructions to resolve the conflict.
9. From your application, click OK twice to send your print job.
Make sure the ES3640e MFP is selected as your current printer.
Note:Some options listed in the printer driver could also be set
from an application (for example, collation or Reverse Order). In
these cases, use the driver option to perform the function, rather
than setting it from the application. The application might not set
up the file properly for printing on the Fiery, resulting in
unexpected printing errors and longer processing time.
Note:If the Fiery Mail Port is installed and the Status messages
from Fiery option is selected in the E-Mail Port Configuration
dialog box, you can receive an e-mail notification if a printing
error occurs to your job. For more information on installing and
configuring the Fiery Mail Port, see the
User Software Installation Guide.
