Troubleshooting
Printing to the Fiery ES
If the customer can print the Fiery ES Test Page but cannot print a job from a computer on the network, you may have to
make a service call. However, first make sure that the site administrator has done the following:
•
Checked all components of the network, including cables, connectors, terminators, network adapter boards, and
network drivers.
•
Activated the network and used it to communicate with other printers.
•
Confirmed that the applicable network settings in Setup (such as AppleTalk zone, IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address) match the settings used in the network.
When you make a service call, check the Fiery ES connector panel to make sure that the appropriate network connection is
in place. Print quality problems are difficult to trace. Before you try to troubleshoot print quality problems, print a Test
Page to make sure that the printer does not need servicing or adjusting. Also, make sure that the correct paper is being used
in the printer.
Note:
EPS file generation is not completely standardized among applications. Some users may encounter problems while
printing certain EPS files.
