Introduction The Changing Market for Digital Front Ends
In a 2011 U.S. survey, Digital Front Ends: Understanding Market Dynamics and Customer Requirements, InfoTrends identified the key features that respondents look for in a digital front end for print engines:
Raster image processing (RIP) - Converting content specified in a page description language into raster images that a printer can read and process
Job management / file handling - Receive, manage and prepare jobs for print production - Select media and finishing options - Release files into print production
Prepress and make-ready capabilities - Color management - Imposition, preflighting and trapping
Automation support (job ticketing)
The report further found that the reputation of the vendor is an important consideration for end customers, as are the following:
Ease of use
Consistent and reliable output
High performance based on RIP speed
Familiarity of interface and operational consistency
Finally, the survey showed that most print service providers use digital front ends (DFEs) to perform a wide variety of prepress, make-ready and job management tasks as well as to release jobs into print. InfoTrends also projects from the survey information that digital front ends will quickly become a key part of end-to-end, automated workflows and will integrate into cloud workflows. The survey report also notes, As DFEs are becoming more tightly integrated, there is a need for wider job ticketing support, better integration with workflow or accounting solutions, and higher compatibility with traditional/offset workflows.
Fiery Servers Meet Current and Future Needs
Fiery servers cover the entire digital printing spectrum. From light volume through high-production market segments, theres a Fiery DFE designed to meet every need. Fiery servers scale from proofing to production and are equipped with a consistent user interface that minimizes learning curves, regardless of the complexity of the solution.

Performance Technology
Spool RIP Print Simultaneously
Over the years, Fiery servers have incorporated various innovative technology features to improve throughput, such as RIP-While-Print,
RIP-1-While-Receive-2, ECT Compression, RIPChips and Continuous Print.
Designed to enhance the Fiery systems overall performance, these features are now unified as the Spool-RIP-Print Simultaneously feature. Users can now spool, RIP and print a single multiple-page job or multiple jobs simultaneously using these Fiery technologies:
ECT Compression: Provides definite compression ratios and virtually lossless image quality. Compression software decreases the amount of memory necessary to store documents during processing and enables faster printing of documents.
RIP-While-Print: Allows one page to be printed while subsequent pages are simultaneously processed.
Continuous Print: Enables processed pages to be stored in memory before printing, eliminating the need for the copier or printer to cycle down between unique pages.
RIP-1-While-Print-2: Allows the Fiery server to work simultaneously on two jobs for the RIPping and printing processes. Starts to RIP a new file while the previous file is printing.
RIP-While-Receive: Allows a job to be RIPped while it is still being spooling into the Fiery server for a much faster first and last page out. Now there is no need to wait for the entire job to spool before beginning to RIP the file.
Benefits:
Increases the Fiery server throughput by delivering faster output to the printer device.
Increases productivity by having the Fiery server more available for processing jobs.
Reduces bottlenecks at the RIPping stage.
Fiery SmartRIP
Fiery SmartRIP is a software architecture that uses intelligent processing to accelerate the RIPping process and provide the fastest speeds possible for all hardware configurations.
Users will especially notice the benefits of SmartRIP technology in the following instances:
The combination of an Adobe Configurable PostScript Interpreter (CPSI) RIP with Fiery SmartRIP technology yields dramatically faster page processing by recognizing file characteristics and using adaptive techniques to accelerate color, compression and rendering processes.
The improvements in overall throughput optimize the print time of the merging of VDP jobs.
The efficient use of memory and disk space improves efficiency and predictability to support VDP.
The enhanced image processing allows operators to print composite overprints of CMYK and Fiery Spot-On colors. This key feature enables Fiery servers to pass the Altona Test Suite.
The Fiery system achieves higher performance and more efficient use of multiple processors while accelerating color compression and rendering.
14
Applying the Text and Graphic Quality feature enables the Fiery system to process images at the resolution required to produce the best quality and performance.
Benefits:
Achieves RIP performance benchmarked at up to two times faster in a dual processor and one-and-a-half times faster in a single processor.
Improves efficiency and predictability in color and VDP.
Produces visibly smoother edges and fine type at high resolution (1200 dpi and up). This is quite noticeable in Kanji fonts as well as in Roman faces with delicate, thin elements.
Fiery HyperRIP
Fiery HyperRIP is a proprietary EFI-rendering technology that dramatically improves performance by splitting a job into two or four logical parts for parallel RIPping. This splitting of a single job for faster processing is critical to production efficiency as file sizes continue to grow. HyperRIP prevents any single file from becoming a bottleneck for printing.
As CPU processors continue to have more cores, the RIP needs to be able to take advantage of those additional cores to maximize performance. HyperRIP maximizes the use of high-end, multicore hardware for faster performance. It processes multipage jobs more efficiently and increases performance by up to 40%.
Minimum Fiery hardware requirements to apply HyperRIP by splitting the job into two parts:
8 CPU cores
8 GB of RAM memory
FS100 Pro and FS150 Pro system software
Minimum requirements to apply HyperRIP by splitting the job into four parts:
8 CPU cores
16 GB of RAM memory
FS150 Pro system software
Fiery systems automatically detect hardware resources to apply HyperRIP to jobs by using two or four RIPs. It uses four RIPs when the Fiery server has at least 16 GB of RAM or more, and two RIPs when the Fiery server has more than 8 GB.
In terms of average RIPping performance, the Fiery server processes a job 15% faster than with earlier versions of HyperRIP, and an average of 55% faster than a Fiery server without the HyperRIP feature.
Fiery HyperRIP is available only for Fiery QX100 servers.
The processing bar in Command WorkStation Job Center is split, showing two or four progress bars side by side updating simultaneously and independently to track the HyperRIP progress.
After a HyperRIP job has finished printing, the job log and printed queue have the following optional attribute columns: Number of RIPs present: indicates the total number of RIPs available to the job during processing.
Number of RIPs used: indicates the actual number of RIPs used to process the job. Not all jobs can use HyperRIP, and some will use a single RIP instead.

Benefits:
Dramatic performance improvements by processing multiple segments of the job simultaneously.
Progress bars show multiple processors in action.
Faster throughput means less waiting for operators and faster throughput.
Optimized PDF
PDF XObjects are a way of describing objects such as text, images and vectors within a PDF file. They are automatically generated by the application. XObjects store common information such as background, headers and footers that can be drawn multiple times in a PDF document. Their content is stored only once in the PDF file to allow for greater efficiency.
When Optimized PDF is enabled on the Fiery system, XObjects are processed just once for the entire job. RIPped versions of these elements are cached to be used any time the XObject is needed in a page allowing the Fiery system to reduce throughput time.
PDF XObjects in a Per-Job Basis
Now operators can use XObjects and optimize a PDF job on a job-by-job basis. Just select the feature in Command WorkStation through Job Properties as Cache PDF and PS objects under the VDP tab, or use Hot Folders from a client system.
Benefits:
Increases throughput by reducing the need to re-RIP the same image in the same file.
Improves the PDF workflow by successfully rendering PDF files containing XObjects.
APPE 3.0

Advanced Job Management A successful production printing operation depends on a very structured workflow, much like a factory assembly line; each step is dependent on the successful completion of the last. The Fiery system has many tools that manage jobs faster and minimize bottlenecks. A truly integrated solution, it also uses these features to give production print operators tremendous flexibility to alter aspects of the workflow without disruption:
Force Print
Suspend on Mismatch
Print/Process Next
Rush Print
Quick Doc Merge
Sample Print
Schedule Print
Job Presets
Server Job Presets
Import and Export Job Presets
Modify Default Queues
Proof Print
Force Print
If the paper attributes of the job do not match what is in the printer, the user can force the job to print using whats currently loaded in the printer, regardless of the jobs status in the Print Queue.
This feature is available through Command WorkStation if the connected server has Force Print enabled, and it allows the user to do the following:
Force the job to print to any tray available at that time, while the job is in the Print Queue.
Print RIPped files without re-RIPping or canceling the job first. If the new tray media is a different size, the resulting output may be cropped. Also, if the new tray uses a different color profile, the job will be printed with the original trays color profile.
Use any tray (except bypass trays) with any paper size, media type, weight or coating supported by the printer.
Benefits:
Saves time by printing the job immediately when holding a hard copy version of the job is more important than making sure the job is perfect.
Can eliminate the need to resubmit jobs to the printer when there is no need to re-RIP the file.
Suspend on Mismatch
To ensure faster throughput and the highest quality, operators can use Suspend on Mismatch to hold jobs when they have missing resources or a color profile mismatch. Until the operator corrects the problem or applies Force Print to the job, it remains suspended and other jobs in the server will continue to print.
17
Benefits:
Prevents one job from holding up all the other jobs that could be printing.
Avoids outages at the production line and decreases bottlenecks at the RIPping stage.
Rush Print
The Rush Print feature provides advanced job management that allows the user to mark the job as urgent, process and print it immediately and interrupt the currently printing job. The utility will apply a logical interruption to the job currently printing, either at the end of a set or after 30 pages, whichever occurs first. Then, as soon as the Rush Print job finishes, the interrupted job will resume printing where it left off.
Benefits:
Increases the flexibility to reprioritize and introduce last-minute changes in the processing and print stages.
Eliminates the need to stop and restart production when one job needs to be printed right away.
Prevents waste by allowing a job to be paused during printing and then resumed and finished later instead of requiring that the user cancel and discard the previously printed portion of the job.
Print/Process Next
Print/Process Next lets operators pick the next job to process or print. It gives them the ability to make a job print or process immediately follow the completion of the job currently printing or processing. Depending on the engine behavior, the Fiery server may be able to advance the Print Next job ahead of only other Fiery jobs.
Benefit:
Gives the operator a way to change the printing order of jobs based on last-minute urgent demands.
Quick Doc Merge
Quick Doc Merge allows the operator to quickly merge documents by combining them in a new job. The documents can be on the Fiery server or be imported from a browsable directory, separate from the Fiery servers job list. The system can also finish the entire job all together or apply the jobs finishing options to each of the merged documents. Once documents are merged into a new job, the job will remain intact even if some of the source documents are deleted from the Held Queue.
Benefits:
Saves operator time by eliminating the need to create flattened PDF files.
Gives operators the flexibility to combine multiple jobs without needing to open the file and manually merge pages.
Sample Print
The Sample Print feature allows the operator to monitor engine output quality while the engine is in full production and print extra pages to an easily accessible output tray during a long print job to verify that the engine is performing as expected. If the output is unsatisfactory, the operator can take corrective action. While a job is printing, the operator can initiate a sample print from Command WorkStation using the Start Sample Print option under the Server menu.
This feature is most useful for engines with multiple output trays and when one of the output trays is closed and not easy to access during printing such as a stacker unit.
18
The operator can also configure the Fiery server to print sample prints at a predefined interval that spans print jobs. This lets the operator print sample pages on a regular basis, either as a regular spot check or as part of a more methodical process whereby the operator creates an archive of printed sheets documenting the print quality at regular intervals.
Configure Sample Print to meet workflow needs
The operator can print an extra sheet (or output set):
On demand by selecting the Sample Print button from Command WorkStation.
Every n sheets; the operator can instruct the Fiery server to stop printing sample pages once the current job is done or to continue printing sample pages for all jobs until the operator manually stops the sample print function.
Benefits:
Performs quality control of the output while the engine is printing, avoiding production halts, ensuring quality of the output and increasing overall productivity.
Makes it easy for users to take corrective actions before the job finishes printing, minimizing waste and reducing clicks.
Schedule Print
Schedule Print is an advanced job-management tool that allows the user to define when jobs will print by setting DATE/TIME parameters. The jobs will print as soon as the DATE/TIME conditions are met, the server is turned on and the print engine is available.
Benefits:
Increases automation of the production process, allowing for unattended printing and eliminating the need to have attendants constantly on watch, thereby reducing overhead costs.
Provides the ability to plan the process and printing stages in advance.
Facilitates balancing the workload and prioritizing print production throughout the day to avoid peaks and bottlenecks.
Allows advance scheduling of batch jobs. For example, if there are jobs with the same media characteristics, the operators can schedule the jobs to print when the media is loaded at the printer.
Job Presets
The Fiery server Job Preset enhancements include the following:
Server Job Presets
Import and export Job Presets
19
Server Job Presets
Previously, users could create local Job Presets, which were available for use only on the users workstation. Now administrators can create and share Server Job Presets to automate the selection of Job Properties for commonly used tasks, saving time and maximizing productivity.
Administrators can save, edit, publish and delete Server Presets from the Command WorkStation Device Center. They can also create Server Presets from within Job Properties in the Command WorkStation right after selecting the applicable job settings simply provide a name and description. Other users can access the centrally stored presets through workflows such as Virtual Printers, Hot Folders, Job Properties and Print Drivers.
Save, edit, publish and delete Server Presets from the Command WorkStation Device Center.
It is easy to create server Job Presets by providing a name and description.
Select Job Presets from Job Properties.
Benefits:
Allows all users to access commonly used settings in all workflows.
20
Permits administrators to save and manage the most commonly used settings and then easily publish them as Virtual Printers and Hot Folders.
Import and Export Job Presets
This feature offers the ability to import and export both server and local Job Presets. Local Job Presets can be exported and shared between users. Only administrators can manage Server Presets.
Users can export and import Server Job Presets. Users can export and import Server Job Presets between Fiery servers of the same model, streamlining the process of programming multiple servers to behave identically.
Export Server Job Presets.
Merge or overwrite existing presets.
Benefits:
Share and back up local Job Presets for safekeeping.
Easily and quickly make Server Job Presets available to multiple Fiery users.
Create automated workflows for any repetitive task, reducing the number of times a job needs to be touched during printing.
21
Product-Specific Presets
Fiery servers include five server presets to help users quickly set up jobs with some frequently used print settings, and also to promote the use of server presets and workflows.
The server presets include the following:
U.S. Presets 1. Half-letter booklet 2. Letter booklet 3. Letter duplex grayscale 4. Letter duplex staple 5. Letter 2-up tabloid
Metric Presets 1. A5 booklet 2. A4 booklet 3. A4 duplex grayscale 4. A4 duplex staple 5. A4 2-up A3
Modify Default Queues
Operators frequently ask for a way to customize the default Job Properties of the Fiery server so they can set options such as Duplex to be always on. Fiery servers provide the ability to change the default Job Properties of the Print and Hold queues.
Operators can do this through the Edit function in the Virtual Printers panel in the Command WorkStation Device Center. Users may assign any function available in Job Properties to the Hold or Print queues and lock the settings to prevent changes.
Benefit:
Allows administrators to define the default Job Properties of the Fiery server to adapt to their particular printing needs, increasing workflow efficiencies and productivity.
Product-specific presets available to all Fiery users
Change the default Job Properties of the Print and Hold queues through the Edit function in the Virtual Printers panel.
22
Proof Print
Proof Print allows users to produce a copy of any job in the Hold or Print queues with a single mouse click, eliminating the need to open the job in Job Properties, modify the job ticket or change the copy count to print a copy for proofing.
Request Proof Print from Hot Folders.
Targeted to Command WorkStation users, the Proof Print feature is particularly powerful in the Hot Folders workflow because Proof Print can be selected as a Job Action when setting up Hot Folders. After the system produces the Proof Print, the job moves into the Hold Queue until it is released to print the full copy count.
Request Proof Print from Job Properties
Users can even use Proof Print with VDP jobs. The feature prints one copy of the contents of the first record. If the VDP job wasnt RIPped, the raster is removed once Proof Print is completed, returning the job to the Hold Queue.
In the case of imposed VDP jobs, Proof Print produces a set associated with record number 1, printing all sheets that contain the first record.
Benefit:
Saves time and increases productivity by allowing users and operators to check the Proof Print at the printer and release the job to be printed for the actual copy count without risk of modification.
23

Job Submission Automation
Fiery Hot Folders
Fiery Hot Folders provide the user with a simple and automated method of sending documents to a Fiery server. Users can copy or simply drop documents into Hot Folders and then route them to a Fiery server with a job ticket attached, or merge files from same folder. Job ticket settings include PostScript Printer Description (PPD) options and Imposition attributes. From the user standpoint, a Hot Folder acts as a script that forces printing settings and automates the printing process.
Hot Folders relieves the user of the repetitive task of configuring print settings for multiple jobs and allows the direct printing of files without need for an application such as Adobe Photoshop. Since Hot Folders appear as folders on a host computer and can be shared on networks, they provide a simple way to forward jobs without installing special utility software on each computer.
Included with the Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition is a set of expert-level filters designed for Hot Folders. These filters allow users to submit jobs in their native file formats without opening the native application. The result is that jobs can be routed to the Fiery server with predetermined settings attached including PPD overrides, imposition attributes and file format conversions.
Benefits:
Automates workflow for all users, increasing productivity.
Reduces repetitive workflows for faster, error-free printing.
Fiery Virtual Printers
It is critical to automate complex tasks and leverage all available resources in a production environment that regularly receives jobs from external sources. In-plant and CRD operations, as well as commercial organizations, look to digital workflow to capture as much formatting and direction from nontechnical users as possible. Fiery Virtual Printers enable production print administrators to create a specific configuration for an output device and present it to users as a printer with a specific name. For example, a user who prints training manuals on a regular basis could simply print to a printer named Training Manual, greatly reducing interaction between user and production while capturing pertinent data.
In comparison with Hot Folders, Virtual Printers is managed and configured centrally by a Fiery Administrator; all settings are controlled at the Command WorkStation, where only an administrator can view and/or change the published virtual printers and details associated with them.
The administrator has rights to the following functions:
Create new virtual printers.
View the available virtual printers (and published queues).
25
Publish, delete or edit virtual printers.
Key Functions and Features:
Defines a combination of up to 252 virtual printers on a Fiery server.
Is easily accessible from any print driver ideal for 'driver-based' workflows.
Provides Fiery system actions such as Hold, Process and Hold, Print, and Print and Hold.
Comes with imposition and override settings.
Benefits:
Automates workflow for all users, increasing productivity.
Reduces repetitive workflows for faster, error-free printing.
Ensures that print processes and company standards are maintained; relevant settings can be preserved as Admin-lockable.
Fiery Server Automated Workflows
The Fiery Command WorkStation interface has a way to quickly select Server Presets by simply selecting one after right clicking on a job. Fiery administrators can create and publish the workflows as easily as they can create a new Virtual Printer, and can publish the workflows to make them available to all operators accessing that Fiery server. The automated workflows require a Fiery server with Virtual Printers or Server Presets. Virtual Printers come standard with external servers and are an optional feature for embedded servers. Server Presets are standard for both external and embedded servers, starting with Fiery System 10 and 10e.
Server Preset selection after a right click on a job
The new Drop Zones feature gives a new look and feel to the Fiery Command WorkStation by clearly indicating the areas open to drop files for printing. It also enhances the server list view by displaying an easy way of associating Server Presets and Virtual Printers while downloading the job onto the Fiery server; an enhanced view of the server list; and server information such as consumables, toners, alerts and more.

Enhanced view of the server list and server information such as consumables, toners, alerts and more.
27
Variable Data Printing No matter what you call it personalization, customization, versioning, transactional printing, variable information (VI) or simply variable data printing (VDP) market research proves that personalized communications or targeted marketing can significantly improve a companys bottom line. Overall revenues and profits associated with personalized marketing programs are over 31% greater than those from general marketing. Personalized communications also garner measurable improvements in the size and value of orders. Customers are apt to respond more quickly and in greater numbers to personalized marketing messages. And personalized communications increase customer loyalty and retention by more than 47%.
Todays overall trend toward targeted marketing will only intensify in the future. For organizations with the right resources, marketing support and business knowledge, VDP is more than just a powerful tool: its a strategic necessity. But currently, there are no simple, off-the-shelf VDP solutions. Instead, VDP requires customized end-to-end attention to customer needs and budgetary constraints.
EFI VDP solutions are designed to fit into existing workflows so users can easily develop customized marketing campaigns, regardless of their complexity, and add to their systems as they grow.
EFIs Fiery technology delivers fast, industry-leading, adaptable VDP capabilities and allows users to choose any authoring tool to create static and variable elements with flexible and open, end-to end VDP solutions. EFI VDP solutions include the most comprehensive array of VDP languages, such as Fiery FreeForm, the industrys open standard personalized print markup language (PPML), PDF-VT and a host of proprietary languages. EFI solutions enable print providers to take advantage of evolving VDP technologies, regardless of the brand of database management system, generator software, page-layout program or print device.
The Fiery Command WorkStation interface manages the inputs and outputs for the most complex VDP jobs. This user interface allows operators to manage their Fiery servers and VDP jobs from one location. The VDP Resource Manager is a utility that enables print production shops to store, view and reuse RIPped objects on networked Fiery servers. Used in conjunction with a high-speed printing device, the Fiery server eliminates production bottlenecks and allows VDP jobs to print faster than ever before.
By drawing from its own and its partners technologies, EFI delivers high-performance, open VDP solutions. EFI also continues to work with the most respected partners in the industry to enhance its integration with the latest solutions and existing VDP workflows.
28
Fiery VDP Raster Preview
The Fiery VDP Raster Preview enables users to view the content of the job, organized by records or finished sets, and to navigate either by records/finished sets or by pages/surfaces. The job is displayed in actual size, and the user may use the scroll bars to see the whole image. With the Fiery VDP Raster Preview, users can now verify whether the record boundaries for imposed and nonimposed jobs are correct before printing the job. The feature is available when connecting to System 10/10e with Command WorkStation 5.4 or later, or to FS100 Pro /FS100, FS150 Pro /FS150 products.
Benefits:
Enables users to verify record boundaries for imposed and nonimposed jobs within the raster preview without the need to print the job, reducing potential errors and waste.
Displays records for nonimposed VDP and finished sets for imposed VDP jobs.
Saves time and eliminates waste because users do not have to guess how the job will print.
Nonimposed job Imposed VDP job
Variable Data File Format Support PPML
PPML was designed to support efficient job resource reuse. By allowing the printer to know early on which fonts, logos, diagrams, images or other resources are needed at a particular point in the job, the system can rasterize that resource a single time and use it as many times as needed without redundant processing. Fiery servers are compliant with PPML as set forth by the Print-on-Demand industry initiative. PPML compliance in Fiery servers enables the user to RIP and print jobs using the PPML language format for variable data printing.
Creo VPS 1.5 A fundamental principle of the Creo variable print specification (VPS) is its ability to specify which elements of a variable-data print job will be used multiple times. Once specified, the application will eliminate multiple downloads of repeating data elements to the printer or digital press. This prevents redundant data handling and helps variable-data print jobs to print at or near rated engine speed. The Fiery servers compatibility with the Creo VPS format enables users to RIP and print jobs in Creo VPS format for variable data printing.
VI Compose (VIPP/VPC available on Fiery servers driving Xerox print engines only) This is an open language from Xerox that enables highest-performance output of variable data PostScript documents.
PDF/VT v1.0 PDF/VT is a new standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (IOS) for VDP data exchange. Fiery System 10/10e servers are compliant with PDF/VT through both CPSI and APPE.
29
FreeForm 1 Fiery FreeForm 1 is a simple way to create page-based variable data jobs. Users need a software application that contains a database merge feature for authoring. Rasterized master background pages are created with specified variable content zones, and database information is merged into these zones. Granularity for the job is at the page level and limited to a single job master.
FreeForm 2 Fiery FreeForm 2 technology expands on FreeForm 1 by allowing a variable data document to individually access and reuse any page within a master document. Any page of the variable data file can be associated with any page of the master document. Conditional page printing from the application is possible through page-level commands.
FreeForm 2 requires the use of a supporting 3rd party VDP authoring tool such as PrintShop Mail.
Operators can use FreeForm 2 and Fiery Impose for imposed VDP set finishing (record-based finishing).
Benefits:
Offers open VDP implementation, ensuring compatibility in all VDP workflows and complete flexibility.
Consistent Fiery workflow interface greatly reduces training curve for existing Fiery users, leading to fast adoption and higher productivity.
PPML 3.0
PPML 3.0 is the latest VDP standard, and it supports in-RIP transparency flattening. Flattening transparencies as late in the process as possible provides the best results. PPML 3.0 also supports transparency within the PDF layer and transparency between layers. It enables users to print variable layers as designed and supports the printing of drop-shadow PostScript masks and soft-edge TIFF masks; in addition, it lets users overlay a reusable JPEG image.
Benefits:
Improves design flexibility and operator productivity.
Eliminates costly file rework.
Fiery FreeForm
Fiery FreeForm is an exclusive, built-in and simple-to-use VDP file format that supports a wide variety of source applications without the need for a third-party VDP composition tool. With FreeForm, print providers can enter the market for personalized marketing campaigns and support a multitude of customer requirements with ease. Fiery FreeForm is an ideal entry-level step that requires minimal skill, so there is no learning curve for users. It is available on virtually all Fiery servers and can create static data masters with any application. Fiery FreeForm doesnt require an additional investment, so it is low risk.
Examples of a print job with transparencies
30
The page length of the FreeForm master document defines each record in a FreeForm job. FreeForm maps the pages from the variable document to the record length defined by the FreeForm master until all the variable document pages are used.
FreeForm Multipage Previews With bidirectional communication enabled, the EFI Fiery Driver provides the user with multipage previews of FreeForm masters. This allows visual confirmation of selected FreeForm masters whose static content spans multiple pages.
Enhanced FreeForm
Prior to System 10/10e, if a page required no variable elements and there was not an exact one-to-one correspondence between the number of pages in the variable document and the number of pages in the master document, the user had to add blank pages to the source document to ensure that mapping was handled properly.
As an example, imagine a company needs to distribute a personalized newsletter to its customers. This newsletter has four pages and only two of those pages the front cover with the name of the customer and a personalized image, and the back cover with the mailing address and a custom ad contain variable information.
31
Personalized four-page newsletter containing variable document with only two variable pages
FreeForm has been enhanced to give the user control over the mapping between the variable and master documents. This provides several benefits. First, instead of adding blank pages to the source variable document, the user can map a blank page to a master page. Second, the user can pick and choose which master page a given variable page uses. And finally, the user can define the length of the record, instead of having to use the entire length of the master document.
Enhanced FreeForm is supported in Command WorkStation 5.3 Job Properties, Virtual Printers and Presets and Hot Folders as well as in Windows and Mac drivers.
Users can choose Enhanced FreeForm from the Job Properties VDP tab by selecting a master document from the Use Master drop-down menu.
32
Users can choose Enhanced FreeForm from the Job Properties VDP tab
Using the Define Mapping table, users can associate the variable pages with the corresponding page of the master document.
Benefits:
Simplifies creating and using VDP documents by allowing users to map variable documents to master documents without modifying the source documents.
Offers the flexibility to pick only a subset of pages from a master document for use with the variable record in any order.
Allows print shops to print jobs without returning the variable document for revisions.
33

34
PDF/VT Support
Efficiently driving complex VDP jobs in digital print requires support for multiple standards to ensure interoperability. Fiery servers are compliant with PDF/VT, a new standard developed by the ISO for VDP data exchange, through both CPSI and APPE. Supporting PDF/VT brings the benefits of a PDF workflow to VDP, helping print providers increase production efficiency with capabilities such as late-stage exchange of critical variable content.
The system processes PDF/VT files the same way it handles other VDP files by detecting records defined in the PDF/VT job and caching reusable XObjects and displays a format icon for PDF/VT jobs on the Fiery Command WorkStation.
The format icon, as well as the quantity of records and pages per record, identifies PDF/VT jobs in the Command WorkStation
PDF/VT enables high-performance rendering of graphically rich content for printing on high-speed digital presses by caching repeated text and graphics. A significant number of products that will create or consume PDF/VT are currently in active development and will likely be introduced in the near future.
Benefits:
Folds seamlessly into existing PDF-based prepress operations, enabling a single common PDF print production workflow for all job types.
Easier to use, with a visual illustration of cached, reusable elements and easy identification of VDP jobs.
Increases productivity with support of users existing workflow.
PDF/VT-2 Support
PDF/VT is Adobes variable data language, based on PDF technology. PDF/VT-1 support was introduced in Fiery System 10 servers, and PDF/VT-2 is now supported on Fiery servers running FS100 Pro and FS150 Pro. The Fiery server recognizes the new PDF/VT file type and shows a different icon in Command WorkStation for this format. It automatically extracts the records information and displays the number of records and pages per record, showing PDF/VT cached resources in the VDP Resource Manager. PDF/VT is supported for both CPSI and APPE interpreters. PDF/VT-2 gives users a performance improvement because PDF/VT files can refer to resources through a file search path so that they can be processed inline, but the overall PDF/VT file size being transferred is reduced. With PDF/VT-1, all of the resources had to be contained inside the file.
See this Adobe whitepaper for more details:
Benefits:
http://www.pdf-tools.com/public/downloads/whitepapers/Whitepaper-PDFVT-Standard-ISO-16612-2-EN.pdf
Supports the latest VDP standard so that operators can confidently print any standard VDP data stream.

Hot Folders Filter for PDF/VT Support
Fiery Hot Folders now support the latest VDP format on the market PDF/VT. Selecting the PDF/VT checkbox grays out all other PDF options, ensuring that Hot Folders passes through the PDF to the Fiery server without any processing or modification so the variable components are preserved.
Benefits:
Adds flexibility to customer workflows.
Automates job settings in Command WorkStation without user intervention.
36
Users can select PDF/VT as input file type in Hot Folders settings.
Processing Optimization for PDF and PostScript VDP Files
Some customers use PDF or PostScript formats for creating VDP jobs. PDF uses XObjects, and PostScript uses Forms, to convey information about repeating objects in the file. Prior to System 10/10e, Fiery servers supported the PDF XObjects. Now, they also support PostScript files with Forms. Users can gain a huge performance boost by using the information from PDF XObjects and PostScript Forms to RIP the repeatable elements only once and then caching them.
This feature is available in both the CPSI and APPE processing paths through the VDP tab of Job Properties.
Benefit:
Increases speed and performance while processing PDF and PostScript format files in VDP applications.
Definition of Record Length
In VDP workflows where VDP applications generate PostScript or PDF files as output formats, print servers dont have a way to know the number of records within the job or how many pages the records contain. Consequently, some finishing options such as VDP Imposition or subset finishing with Mixed Media will not be fully functional.
In order for the correct finishing options to be available to such jobs and to allow for PostScript and PDF files to be processed as VDP jobs, operators need to be able to define how many records are in a job and how many pages are in a record.
Define Record Length allows a user to define the fixed record length for a VDP job when it is provided in PostScript or PDF format. This Define Record Length setting can be found at the Fiery Driver and Job Properties utilities. Two new columns display this VDP job ticket information on the Command WorkStation:
Number of Records: Displays the number of records contained in the file.
Pages per Record: Displays record length information. Variable record lengths are displayed as a range, from smallest to largest.
Cache PDF and PS objects box in the VDP tab of Job Properties
37
Benefits:
Allows VDP jobs imported as PostScript and PDF formats to be correctly processed with the desired finishing requirements.
Reduces waste by allowing users to print a selected set of records.
Provides additional VDP job information, allowing operators to prepare and troubleshoot VDP jobs more effectively.
Record and Set Level Finishing Support
Fiery systems support individual VDP set (record-based) finishing for VDP jobs. In such cases, finishing settings inside the Job Property window will be applied at the record level as opposed to the job level.
There are no special user-interface requirements for VDP set finishing. Finishing options previously applied globally to a job will now be applied to each individual record inside that job. All records inside the job will be treated identically. VDP set finishing is applied to all content between the start and end marks.
The following VDP file formats have native definition on the start and end of a VDP set and therefore support subset finishing:
FreeForm v1 and v2
PDF/VT
PPML
VI Compose (VIPP/VPC Xerox only)
Creo VPS
Benefit:
Increases automation of the output process and reduces the number of manual offline steps in production.
VDP Record Range Printing
Reduces waste and lost time by allowing the user to select a range of records to be printed from a VDP job as a Command WorkStation override. The Record Range Processing feature on VDP jobs is supported for both nonimposed and imposed VDP jobs in FreeForm v1 (record-based) and FreeForm v2, PDF/VT, PPML, VI Compose (VIPP/VPC Xerox only) and Creo VPS formats. This ensures continuity regardless of whether VDP is being used in the wider deployment of technology and solutions.
Benefits:
Simplifies record reprinting. For example, if you need 4 of 100 records, you dont have to process the whole job to just print those records (producing waste).
Reduces waste by allowing the user to print a selected set of records.
38
VDP Multi-Up Booklet
The VDP Multi-Up Booklet is a Fiery Impose feature that allows two records to be printed on a sheet, reducing costs by printing on a larger sheet size for a single click charge. It is accessed via Fiery Impose, and users can save settings as an Impose preset that can be selected from Virtual Printers or Hot Folders for automated job submission.
For records of different lengths, blank pages will be positioned automatically based on pagination requirements. If covers are not enabled, the blank pages should fall at the end of the job. Otherwise, with covers enabled, the blank pages could fall somewhere in the middle after the job is folded during offline finishing.
The VDP Multi-Up Booklet feature is available only for variable data jobs.
Benefits:
Allows faster throughput by producing a job using fewer sheets and fewer clicks.
Reduces costs by printing two records on a larger sheet size.
39
Transactional Printing
Set Page Device Support
Set page device (SPD) refers to a group of PostScript commands that describe the printing characteristics of a file. This includes aspects such as paper attributes, finishing options and number of copies. SPDs are primarily used for specialized applications that require dynamic mixed media orPaper' Job Ticket

Integration to Adobe PDF Workflows Adobe PDF Print Engine
Adobes new PDF-based RIP, Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE), enables direct PDF RIPping without conversion to Postscript, avoiding potential errors for PDF files that contain transparency.
EFI and Adobe have partnered to offer industry-leading print solutions by integrating the APPE PDF-rendering technology with the Fiery server. This support offers users a native PDF end-to-end workflow and enables them to improve the consistency and flexibility of the printed output from design to print.
The APPE interpreter support is offered in conjunction with the conventional Fiery CPSI PostScript interpreter. This dual RIP configuration is offered standard for external Fiery servers shipping with Fiery Software System 9 R2 and above. This feature guarantees workflow interoperability and gives users the option to process PDF files using the APPE or conventional PostScript RIP with a simple click of the mouse and to meet the specific requirements of a printing environment or job.
Feature characteristics at a glance: It supports PDF 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7; PDF/X-1a, 3; and PDF/VT. (These formats also are supported in the
PDF-to-PostScript converter with CPSI.)
Job submission methods supported: Fiery Hot Folders and File/Import from Command WorkStation.
CPSI and APPE workflows are simultaneously enabled, and users can choose between them.
Unlike other RIPs, the Fiery servers have been offering the benefits of APPE for many years. The Fiery CPSI interpreter incorporates extensive and unique PDF capabilities to address the issues that designers and printers face today in producing creative, effective and accurate documents. Because of this support, there are few differences in the print results of APPE and Fiery CPSI interpreters. However, there are ideal print environments for APPE-enabled workflow, including the following:
The print provider that uses a pure PDF workflow and requires PDF documents to remain device independent
throughout the entire workflow.
The print provider that frequently prints designs containing transparency, especially when the transparency interacts with black backgrounds.
The shop that wants to unify offset workflows operating with APPE and with digital print workflows to ensure that the designers intent is accurately reproduced on the press of both output solutions.
The printer provider that prefers to perform job submission using Fiery Hot Folders or File/Import to Command WorkStation.

1 Installing or Updating Fiery System Software This document explains how to install or update system software on the Fiery Network Controller for DocuColor 240/250. NOTE: The term Fiery is used in this document to refer to the Fiery Network Controller for DocuColor 240/250. The term copier is used to refer to the DocuColor 240/250. Fiery System Installer, located on the System Software CDs, offers two methods of installing system software: Direct Installation Allows you to reinstall system software directly through a crossover Ethernet cable connected between the Fiery and a Windows computer. This method is for use by authorized service technicians only. Network Installation Allows you to update system software on the Fiery through a remote network connection. Using Direct Installation (for service technicians only) NOTE: The Direct Installation method allows service technicians to reinstall system software on the Fiery for service or troubleshooting purposes. If you are not an authorized service technician, do not attempt to use Direct Installation; use Network Installation instead (see page 3). TO REINSTALL SYSTEM SOFTWARE USING DIRECT INSTALLATION 1. Make sure that you have a Windows XP/2000 PC equipped with the necessary system requirements. For more information on system requirements, see the section Installing system software over the network port in the Installation and Service Guide for the Fiery. 2. Do the following (for more information, contact your system administrator): Close all software applications that may be running on the PC. Stop all File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) services that may be running on the PC. Disable any virus scan programs that may be running on the PC. Remove any network cables between the PC and the customer network. Disable any wireless network connections on the PC. Copyright 2007 Electronics for Imaging, Inc. Part Number: November 8, 2007
