xi How the Fiery SI works Before You Begin The Fiery SI Color Server enables you to use your color copier as a networked printer and scanner. You can use the Fiery SI to print final documents or to proof jobs you will later print on an offset press. You can print to the Fiery SI as you would print to a LaserWriter or other printer-you select it from the Macintosh Chooser or Windows Printers dialog box, and then print from within any application. You can print to the Fiery SI from networked Apple Macintosh computers, from networked IBM PC or compatible computers running Microsoft Windows, and from networked UNIX workstations running TCP/IP. In addition, you can use the parallel port to print directly from a PC. How the Fiery SI works The Fiery SI is a special-purpose controller that enables you to use a color copier as a printer by connecting it to networked computers. It also enables you to scan a document from the copier and work with the scanned image on your computer. The Fiery SI receives files from computers on your network, processes (RIPs) those files, and then sends them to the copier's print engine for printing. Even with the Fiery SI installed, you can still use your copier to make copies. Macintosh and PC computers communicate with the Fiery SI by means of a Printer Driver application. Printer description files enable you to use special features of the Fiery SI from the Print dialog box.

How the Fiery SI works

The Fiery SI Color Server enables you to use your color copier as a networked printer

and scanner. You can use the Fiery SI to print ﬁnal documents or to proof jobs you will

later print on an offset press. You can print to the Fiery SI as you would print to a

LaserWriter or other printer—you select it from the Macintosh Chooser or Windows

Printers dialog box, and then print from within any application.

You can print to the Fiery SI from networked Apple Macintosh computers, from

networked IBM PC or compatible computers running Microsoft Windows, and from

networked UNIX workstations running TCP/IP. In addition, you can use the parallel

port to print directly from a PC.

How the Fiery SI works

The Fiery SI is a special-purpose controller that enables you to use a color copier as a

printer by connecting it to networked computers. It also enables you to scan a

document from the copier and work with the scanned image on your computer.

The Fiery SI receives ﬁles from computers on your network, processes (RIPs) those

ﬁles, and then sends them to the copier’s print engine for printing. Even with the

Fiery SI installed, you can still use your copier to make copies.

Macintosh and PC computers communicate with the Fiery SI by means of a Printer

Driver application. Printer description ﬁles enable you to use special features of the

Fiery SI from the Print dialog box.
