Installing Fiery EXP250 printer drivers
To install the updated drivers on Windows computers, refer to the Installing Printer Drivers
chapter of Printing from Windows .
To install the updated drivers on Mac OS 9, refer to the Setting Up Printing on Mac OS 9
chapter in Printing from Mac OS.
To install the updated drivers on Mac OS X, see the Setting Up Printing on Mac OS X
chapter in Printing from Mac OS.
NOTE: You can install a Fast version or a Comprehensive version of the Mac OS X printer
driver. For more information, see “Two versions of Mac OS X printer driver” on page 10.

Page 10
Mac OS X printer
drivers
Two versions of Mac OS X printer driver
When you install the updated Mac OS X printer driver, you can install a Fast version, which
does not check for incompatible print option settings but runs faster, or a Comprehensive
version, which prevents you from choosing incompatible print option settings at the expense
of some processing time. A dialog box in the OS X installer lets you choose the version.
The Fast version addresses issues with folding and stapling on Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4.1.
Use the Fast version if the copier is configured with a finisher and you want to print folded
and/or stapled jobs on Mac OS X v10.3 or v10.4.1. Be aware that if you choose incompatible
print option settings, your job might not print as expected.
NOTE: You do not need to use the Fast version to print folded and/or stapled jobs on
Mac OS X v10.4.2 and later. If you have Mac OS X v10.4.2 or later, we recommend
installing the Comprehensive version to have the benefit of checking for incompatible print
option settings.
If you install the Comprehensive version and then later decide to install the Fast version, you
must remove the Comprehensive version first, using the procedure on page 8.
Be sure to remove any previous Fiery EXP250 printer drivers before installing the upgraded
printer drivers. For more information, see page 8.

Page 11
Cancel on
Mismatch
Cancel on Mismatch option
The Cancel on Mismatch option causes a job to be cancelled if the media specified for the job
(size and weight) is not available. The job is cancelled with an error and moved to the Printed
queue, allowing the Fiery EXP250 to continue printing other jobs.
The Cancel on Mismatch Timeout option specifies the number of minutes that the
Fiery EXP250 waits before cancelling a mismatched job. The default setting is 5 minutes, and
the maximum setting is 999 minutes. To disable this option, set the timeout value to 0.
You can set the Cancel on Mismatch option in Server Setup on the Fiery EXP250 Control
Panel, or in General Setup on the FACI, if a FACI is installed.
Tray 6 (Oversized) Using the Tray 6 (Oversized) option
An additional high-capacity feeder paper tray option is supported, Tray 6 (Oversized). Tray 6
(Oversized) can accommodate the following paper sizes: Letter, Tabloid, Legal, A4, A3, 13x9
SEF, SRA3 SEF, 12x18 SEF, 11x17 SEF, A3 SEF, B4 SEF, 8.5x14 SEF, 8.5x13 SEF, B5 LEF,
A4 LEF, A4 SEF, 8.5x11 SEF, 8.5x11 LEF, and PostScript Custom Page Size. The copier can
be configured with this option instead of the regular Tray 6.
To print using the Tray 6 (Oversized) option, you must install the updated printer drivers,
configure the Tray 6 (Oversized) installable option, and set the Paper Source print option to
Tray 6 (Oversized).
Configuring printer drivers for Tray 6 (Oversized)
Before using Tray 6 (Oversized) for printing jobs, you must configure the Tray 6 (Oversized)
installable option in the printer drivers.
TOINSTALL AND CONFIGURE THE UPDATED VERSION 1.0 PRINTER DRIVER ON WINDOWS

Tray 5 Media
Protection
Tray 5 Media Protection option
By default, a job prints with the copier’s default media type, which is Plain, because the
default setting for the Media Type print option is Use Machine Settings. However, Tray 5
(Bypass) does not detect the media type actually loaded in the tray. If users load heavyweight
media in Tray 5, the copier still prints for plain media, which can damage the fuser.
The Tray 5 Protection option protects the fuser by automatically printing for Heavyweight 2
media for jobs that have all of the following conditions:
•Paper Source is Tray 5 (Bypass)
•Media type is not specified
• The copier media type is set to one of the following:
–Plain
–Recycled
–Plain (Side 2)
–Hole Punched
–Custom 1
–Custom 2
–Custom 3
–Custom 4
–Custom 5
If you want to print from Tray 5 (Bypass) for plain media, you must select Plain as the Media
Type for the job. Or, you can disable the Tray 5 Media Protection option.
You can set the Tray 5 Media Protection option in Fiery Server Setup, under the General
Setup tab. It is disabled by default.

Manual duplex
printing
Manual duplex printing using Tray 5 (Bypass) or Tray 6 (Oversized)
Manual duplex printing is supported using either Tray 5 (Bypass) or Tray 6 (Oversized) as the
paper source. You can print duplex output in a fully manual mode, determining the required
paper manipulation yourself, or you can print in a semi-manual mode, in which the
Fiery EXP250 prompts you to perform the manual steps required.
TOPRINT IN AFULLY MANUAL MODE
1 Print two jobs: the first containing the even-numbered (Side 2) pages, and the second
containing the odd-numbered (Side 1) pages.
Since the jobs are separate, you can even print from different applications if desired. Or you
can print from one document, but print even-numbered pages as one job and odd-numbered
pages as one job.
2For the first job, set the print options as follows:
•Face-Down Printing = Face Up
•Paper Source = Tray 5 (Bypass) or Tray 6 (Oversized)
•Page Size and Media Type = type of media loaded in the Paper Source
3 Print the first job.
4 Notice how the pages are oriented in the output tray before removing them.
5Turn the pages over so that the printed side faces down and load them back in the same tray
used to print the first job.
Depending on how you flip the pages, you can print Side 1 with the same orientation as
Side 2 (Top-Top) or rotated 180 degrees relative to Side 2 (Top-Bottom). The illustration
below shows the output for Top-Top and Top-Bottom for both Portrait and Landscape jobs.
For Top-Top printing, keep the pages oriented the same way as they were in the output tray,
except face down. For example, if the pages are upside down and face up, load them upside
down and face down.

For Top-Bottom printing, rotate the pages 180 degrees and turn them face down.
NOTE: For jobs imposed using Impose, always flip the pages along the long edge of the page.
6Print the second job with the same settings as the first, but set the Media Type to the Side 2
setting that corresponds to the Media Type you used for the first job.
For example, if you printed the first job using Plain (64-105 gsm), print the second job using
Plain (Side 2) (64-105 gsm).

3 Print the job.
The even-numbered pages are printed.
4 If you are printing from Tray 5 (Bypass), remove any unused paper from the tray.
5 Notice how the pages are oriented in the output tray before removing them.
6Turn the pages over so that the printed side faces down and load them back in the same tray
used to print the first side.
Depending on how you load the pages, you can print Side 2 with the same orientation as
Side 1 (Top-Top) or rotated 180 degrees relative to Side 1 (Top-Bottom).
For Top-Top printing, keep the pages oriented the same way as they were in the output tray,
except face down. For example, if the pages are upside down and face up, load them upside
down and face down.

Tray 5 (Bypass) will detect that the pages have been loaded, so you do not need to press Start.
The odd-numbered pages are printed.
NOTE: For jobs imposed using Impose, always flip the pages along the long edge of the page.
8 Place the pages in the same tray you used to print the even-numbered pages.
Do not rotate the pages. Load them in the same direction (long edge first or short edge first)
as when you printed Side 1.
The odd-numbered pages are printed.
