Selecting Other for RGB Source Profile brings up the following window for specifying 
custom RGB source settings (see page 1-6).

This section explains how to set Fiery X4 color print options with the Adobe 
PostScript Printer Driver version 5.x for Windows NT 4.0. AdobePS version 5.x is a 
PostScript 3 driver that can take full advantage of the color features of the Fiery X4. 
Before you proceed, make sure you have completed the following procedures described 
in Getting Started:

• Install the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver and Fiery X4 PPD. 

• Set up the Fiery X4 for printing.

To set print options, open the PPD as described on page 1-14. From the Advanced tab 
of the Default Document Properties dialog box, choose settings for the print options 
described on page 1-3. 

This section explains how to set color management print options with the 
AdobePS 8.5.1 printer driver for Mac OS, a PostScript 3 driver that takes full 
advantage of the color features of the Fiery X4 and lets you save a set of print option 
settings.

Before you continue, make sure you have completed the following:

• Install the AdobePS printer driver and the Fiery X4 PPD as described in Getting 

Started.

• Select the Fiery X4 in the Chooser and set it up with the Fiery X4 PPD.

The following illustrations and instructions do not apply to all applications. 

Many applications, such as PageMaker, Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and 
CorelDRAW have other color management options in addition to those presented in 
the printer driver. For information on specific applications, see Chapters 6 through 9.

You choose print options from the various panes of the AdobePS driver dialog box. To 
access the initial AdobePS dialog box, choose Print from your application’s File menu.

The word “pane” is used to describe the different pages that appear in the 

driver’s dialog box when you make selections from the pull-down menu at the top left. 
Each pane presents a particular set of print options.

The AdobePS driver includes the following Color Matching options.

•

—When this setting is used to print to the Fiery X4, ColorWise 

provides all color conversions on the Fiery X4. Typically, you should use this option 
when printing to the Fiery X4.

•

—Intended for use with PostScript devices such as the 

Fiery X4. It provides for color conversion on the Fiery X4 using a color rendering 
dictionary resident on the copier (that is, a Fiery X4 CRD) or a color rendering 
dictionary that is downloaded with the print job.

If you use the PostScript Color Matching option, the driver may, depending on 

the application you are using, attach a CMYK source definition to the CMYK data in 
your document. In such a case, the CMYK data in your document is reseparated using 
a Fiery X4 CRD. The destination color space for the CRD is determined by the RGB 

Separation print option. By setting RGB Separation to Simulation, CMYK data is 
printed according to all specified CMYK Simulation Profile and CMYK Simulation 
Method settings. By setting RGB Separation to Output, CMYK data is converted to 
the selected output profile’s CMYK color space.

•

—Provides for color conversion on the host computer. This 

option can be used with PostScript devices such as the Fiery X4, but it is intended 
for use with PostScript Level 1 devices. If you use this option, be sure to specify the 
Fiery X4’s ICC profile as the Printer Profile. ColorSync Color Matching is not a 
suggested color matching method because it does not work in conjunction with all 
applications and requires that you disable features of ColorWise on the Fiery X4.

In the AdobePS Print dialog box, choose Color Matching from the pull-down menu.
