Setting PPD File Parameters
You can set job parameters from a client workstation using the Spire
CXP6000 color server PPD file or you can define a virtual printer with
predefined PPD file settings.
To print a file from Windows, you first need to set up a Spire CXP6000
color server network printer with the appropriate PPD file. The PPD file
contains all the parameters and paper stock definitions for the printer and
enables you to print your file properly.
To use the Spire CXP6000 color server PPD file:
¾
In the Print window of your application, select print settings specific to
printing to the Spire CXP6000 color server.
To define a virtual printer:
¾
Set job parameters when you create or edit a virtual printer.
These settings become the printer's default options.
The following table lists the PPD file parameters and the printing options
that can be selected from the Print window of an application.
For more information about print settings, see Printing From Windows on
page 65 and Printing from a Macintosh on page 76.
For more information about virtual printers, see Adding a new printer on
page 223 and Editing an Existing Printer on page 225.
Notes:
•
In the PPD file, the Printer’s Default option is selected for all PPD file
parameters. The Printer’s Default option corresponds to the settings of the
currently selected virtual printer.
•
The parameter settings that were last modified or applied are the settings
that are applied to the job. However, the print settings defined in the job file
override the settings of the virtual printer.
•
Grayscale images created in RGB applications (such as PowerPoint) should be
specified as monochrome or you should select
Gray RGB > Print grays using
black toner in the PPD file when you submit the job to the Spire CXP6000
color server. This selection ensures that grayscale images are counted as
black and white instead of color
in both the Spire CXP6000 color server and
in the Xerox DocuColor 6060 Digital Color Press billing meters.
