Setup and
installation
Point-and-Print installation
If you have installed printer drivers using the Point-and-Print method (Windows or SMB
printing), and then install the Fiery EX4112/4127 user software on the same computer,
the printer drivers may stop working. Remove the printer drivers using the Fiery Printer
Delete Utility, and reinstall them using Point-and-Print after installing the user software.
For information about using the Fiery Printer Delete Utility, see Printing from Windows on
the user documentation CD.
Opening Configure
If Google Desktop is installed on a client computer, you may not be able to open WebTools
Configure. If this happens, close Google Desktop before starting Configure.
Inconsistent user names
The Administrator user name appears as “admin” in WebTools Scan Settings, whereas it
appears as “Administrator” in Command WorkStation and Configure. However, the access
rights are the same and appropriate for the Administrator as described in Command
WorkStation Help.

Booklet Maker Booklet Maker documentation
There is no online help specific to Booklet Maker. For information about this feature,
see the Booklet Maker chapter in Print Options on the user documentation CD.
Booklet Maker on Direct queue
When you send a job to the Direct queue, Booklet Maker is not supported, although it is
displayed as enabled. You can send a Booklet Maker job to the Print or Hold queue.
Setting gutter values
The gutter value for a booklet in Booklet Maker cannot be set from the printer driver.
Set the gutter value in Command WorkStation Job Properties.
Selecting a binding method in Mac OS X printer driver
In Booklet Maker, you cannot select Saddle, Perfect, or Nested Saddle binding in the
Mac OS X printer driver, if the printer driver has been installed in Comprehensive
(Constrained) mode. To make these options available, install the Mac OS X printer driver
in Fast (Unconstrained) mode.
Unwanted constraint
If Booklet Maker is enabled, selecting Booklet Fold or Center Stapling in the Finishing
tab of the printer driver with page or print size set to Letter LEF triggers a constraint message.
Select a different print size with valid SEF in Media Tab to resolve constraint.
Tray Alignment Align Trays
The Align Trays feature allows you to adjust the placement of text and images on the
page so they are correctly aligned on a sheet of paper. This ensures that both sides of a duplex
sheet have exactly the same alignment. You can also perform tray alignment from the
Fiery EX4112/4127 Control Panel.
To perform tray alignment, you must do the following:
• Log in to the Fiery EX4112/4127 with Administrator privileges and enable tray alignment
in Fiery EX4112/4127 Setup.
• Enable Tray Alignment in the Media area of the Fiery EX4112/4127 printer driver.
• Select the correct paper tray before printing.
NOTE: For Tray Alignment to work when printing a job, select the tray that you have
aligned in the Media area before printing. If you later print a job using the auto tray selection,
the alignment does not work.

TOALIGN PAGES FOR PRINTING
1 In the Active Jobs window, select the connected Fiery EX4112/4127 for which you want to
perform tray alignment.
If the Active Jobs window is hidden, choose Active Jobs from the Window menu to display it.
2 Choose Align Trays from the Server menu.
A dialog box containing the Tray Alignment options appears.
3 Choose the tray that you want to align from the Tray menu.
4 Choose the paper size loaded in the tray from the Media menu.
NOTE: The alignment is specific to the combination of tray and paper size specified. If you
align a given tray with Letter paper, and then load Legal paper in that tray, the alignment is
wrong. You must perform a new alignment for each combination of tray and paper size.
5 In the Print Alignment Page area, select the Print duplex option to print a duplex page,
or clear the option to print a single-sided page.
6 Click Print.
7 After the Alignment Page is printed, follow the instructions on the page.
Fold the page exactly in half horizontally, unfold it, and then fold it in half vertically.
When you unfold the sheet, observe that the fold lines cross three scales on three sides of
the page. Determine which number on the scale each fold line crosses.
8 In the Enter alignment values area, enter the value that appears where the fold crosses each
of the three scales, marked A, B, and C, for Side 1. If you choose to align for duplex printing,
enter the values for the three scales on Side 2 of the page as well.
NOTE: If you enter different values in A and C, the image rotates, leading to uneven areas on
printed output. If this occurs, enter the same value in A and C.

9 After you have entered the alignment values, click Apply, and then click Check Alignment to
print the new alignment page.
10 To remove the alignments, select a tray and click Defaults in the Enter alignment values area.
11 Click Done.
Printing Sizing watermarks
In the Stamping area of the printer driver Printing Preferences, if you size a watermark visually
to the page and print, the output does not match what you see. Also, if you scale the
document smaller or larger (for example, to 50% or to 120%), the watermark does not scale
with the document. To scale the watermark with the document, print the document to file at
100%, then scale to size.
Changing Scale option
In the PostScript printer driver, if you change the scale value in the Layout tab of the printer
driver, and then select Scale to Fit, the selected Scale value remains, even though the Scale
field becomes disabled. To select Scale to Fit, you must select Default for the Scale field.
Viewing job properties for multiple files
If you send a job through both the PostScript printer driver and the PCL printer driver to the
Command WorkStation Hold queue, select both jobs in Command WorkStation queue, and
attempt to view the shared Job Properties for the jobs, only the properties for the first job, sent
through the PCL printer driver, are displayed. You must select each job individually to view
the Job Properties.
Selecting multiple copies in Mac OS X printer driver
If you send a job from the Mac OS X printer driver and specify more than 1 copy, extra pages
are added when the job reaches Command WorkStation. For example, if you send 5 copies of
a 5-page job, the job spools to the Fiery EX4112/4127 as 1 copy of a 25-page job. For all
applications except Acrobat 8, turn Collate off in the Copies & Pages tab in the Mac OS X
printer driver, and the correct number of copies are printed.
Folding options on Mac OS X
Folding options are not enabled in the Constrained Mac OS X printer driver (installed in
Comprehensive mode). To use the folding options, use the Fast (Unconstrained) mode of
installation for the Mac OS X printer driver. The folding options are enabled in the
Unconstrained Mac OS X printer driver.

Page 5
Infinite numbers on Mac OS X
When a job is sent from the Mac OS X printer driver, it is possible to enter number of copies
that range from 1 to infinity. This can cause unusually long processing of the job before the
job errors. To avoid this, select 1 copy when sending a job from Mac OS X, and then change
number of copies in Command WorkStation Job Properties.
Updating installable options with bi-directional communication
The installable HCF and other feeder options are not displayed as installed in either the
printer driver or Command WorkStation until bi-directional communication has been
disabled and then re-enabled manually in the printer driver on the Fiery EX4112/4127.
If bi-directional communication has been previously enabled, clear the Update Fiery Driver
When Opened and the Two-Way Communication checkboxes in the Accessories tab of the
printer driver.
To re-enable bi-direction communication, select the Two-Way Communication option in the
Accessories tab of the printer driver, type the Fiery EX4112/4127 IP address, select the
Update Fiery Driver When Opened option, and then click Update or restart the printer driver
to update the print options.
Updating the copier bitmap
The bitmap of the copier with installed options does not display appropriately until
bi-directional communication has been enabled manually in the printer driver on the
Fiery EX4112/4127. See Updating installable options with bi-directional communication
above on how to disable and re-enable bi-directional communication in the printer driver.
Specifying page size
If you specify a page size in Command WorkStation Job Properties and then specify print size,
the page size display changes to the print size setting. However, the functionality for the page
size works as initially specified.
Text/Graphics Quality setting
The default setting for the Text/Graphics Quality option is incorrect in the Print Options
table. The default is Normal (not Auto).

Mixed Media Trays unavailable
If you are specifying an insert in Mixed Media on Command WorkStation, and trays 6, 7, and
8 do not appear to be available for selection, close Command WorkStation and then restart it.
Trays 6, 7, and 8 should now be available. If the trays are still not available, reboot the Fiery
EX4112/4127 and the options will be available when Command WorkStation is started
again.
Editing inserts on Mac OS X
If you have previously added an insert in Mixed Media on Command WorkStation,
Macintosh Edition, and then attempt to edit the insert by highlighting it and changing any
of the options, Mixed Media does not replace the old insert. Instead another insert is added.
If this happens, you must first delete the previously created insert, and then create the
new insert.
Help Help files
The help files for the Fiery utilities are developed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer
v5.5 and above. If you use other browsers, such as Safari or previous versions of Internet
Explorer, the help files might not display properly.
With Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Windows XP Service Pack 2 computer, the help files
might not display or display properly in the following situations:
• If your browser uses a pop-up blocker, it might block the help files. If this happens,
temporarily disable your pop-up blocker to display the help file.
• If your browser has the advanced Internet option enabled to display notifications about
script errors, it might display a warning window before displaying a help file page.
To avoid the warning window, clear the “Display a notification about every script error”
option in the Advanced tab in the Internet Options dialog box.
• A warning message might also appear in the Status bar, but the content of the help file is
not affected by this error.
Mac OS X Scheduler feature
The Scheduler feature on Mac OS X does not work for jobs sent to the Fiery EX4112/4127.
The job stays on the Mac OS X computer, and does not go to the Fiery EX4112/4127 until
the scheduled time has elapsed. This is an issue with Mac OS X. It is recommended that you
use the Schedule Printing feature in Command WorkStation, Macintosh Edition.
Saving PDF or PS files
When you set Image Shift with duplex settings, save the file in the printer driver as a PDF
or PS, and then print the file, the job prints single-sided without the Image Shift settings.
If you print with the settings from the driver without saving the file as PS or PDF, your job
prints with the correct settings.

Resolving print option conflicts in the Mac OS X v10.4 printer driver
When you change print options in the Mac OS X v10.4 printer driver, specifically in the
Printer Features pane, the print option conflicts are not resolved appropriately.
For example, if you want to select a setting for the Booklet Maker print option, the Duplex
(2-sided Printing) print option must be set to On before the Booklet Maker print options are
available for selecting. The Booklet Maker print options are dependent on the Duplex
(2-sided Printing) print option.
In previous Mac OS versions, the print option conflicts were automatically corrected.
To resolve the print option conflicts in the Printer Features pane, use the following procedure:
TORESOLVE PRINT OPTION CONFLICTS IN THE PRINTER FEATURES PANE
1 Select a different pane.
For example, if you were in the Printer Features pane, select the Summary pane.
After you refresh the Printer Features pane, there is a mismatch between the selected Feature
Set group and the print options that are displayed. For example, if the last Feature Set that you
changed was Image Quality 1, it is now displayed with the print options for the first Feature
Set, such as Finishing 1.
2 Reselect the Feature Set group (for example, Image Quality 1) to refresh the print options
displayed.
3 Select the appropriate print options and print the job.
User
Documentation
Opening user documentation with Adobe Reader 6
When you open a PDF from the User Software CD with Adobe Reader 6, a warning message
alerts you to download a more recent version of Adobe Reader. However, you can dismiss the
message, and the PDF displays and prints normally.
Impose and
Compose
Wireframe preview in Impose
In Impose Help, it is incorrectly stated that in VDP Imposition, Wireframe preview mode
displays page contents. In Wireframe preview mode, only the pagination of records
information is displayed.
Minimum monitor size
Although the documentation states that Impose and Compose require a minimum monitor
size of 17’’, a monitor size of 15’’ may also be used. Be sure to set the monitor resolution to at
least 1024 x 768.

Page 8
Acrobat Reverse printing on Mac OS X
Selecting reverse printing for an Acrobat 8 job in the Page Order option under Paper
Handling in the Mac OS X printer driver may cause undesirable results in printing.
Instead, specify reverse printing in the Page Order option in the Finishing 1 area under
Printer Features.
Printing multiple sets from Acrobat v8.x
When you print multiple sets of a job from Acrobat v8.x, the job spools to the Fiery EX4112/
4127 as a single job. For example, 2 copies of a 4-page job spools as one 8-page job.
Any finishing options such as stapling treat the job as one set rather than multiple sets.
To resolve this, clear the default Collate option under Page Handling in the Adobe printer
driver. This workaround works on all Windows computers, but does not work on Mac OS X.
