The first part of this chapter describes the options available from the ColorWise color 
management system and explains how you can customize the color settings for your 
particular needs. It provides descriptions of the preset default settings of ColorWise 
and covers additional options for users who need to customize ColorWise.

Beginning on page 1-13 is a detailed explanation of what a PostScript Level 2 or 
PostScript 3 printer driver does, as well as information on the capabilities of various 
printer drivers and instructions for setting color options with the PostScript drivers for 
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95/98, and Mac OS.

 

There are three ways to modify the Fiery X4’s printing behavior:

• You can select ColorWise options for an individual print job using menus that 

appear from the printer driver.

• You can select most ColorWise options as server defaults from Fiery X4 Setup or 

from the Control Panel, as described in the 

 

. These defaults will 

apply to all subsequent print jobs unless you override them.

• You can select some ColorWise options, particularly default 

 

 settings 

and calibration options, from ColorWise Pro Tools. These options include default 
Simulation Profile (see page 1-8), Simulation Method (see page 1-9), Appear in 
Driver as (see page 4-8), default Source Profile (see page 1-6), RGB Separation (see 
page 1-7), and associated calibration set (see page 3-3).

Applications can generate color data for the Fiery X4 in many different 

 

. 

The most common type of color data produced from office applications is RGB, while 
prepress applications generally produce CMYK data. Desktop applications can also 
generate spot colors such as PANTONE colors. To complicate matters, a single page 
may contain a mix of RGB, CMYK, and spot colors. The Fiery X4 lets users control 
the printing of these mixed-color documents with features that apply specifically to 
RGB, CMYK, or spot color data.

Fiery X4 color management generates CMYK data to be sent to the copier; additional 
processing may then be performed before printing begins.
