System information

Specify trap object types
When you do not select an option for Trap Object Types, only the trapping of objects (text and graphics) against
objects is applied. To apply trapping to images, use the settings under Trap Object Types.
1
In Device Center, click the Color Setup tab and click Trapping.
2
Under Trap Object Types, select any of the following:
• Trap Objects to Images - Trapping is applied to boundary areas between objects and images.
• Trap Images Internally - Trapping is applied to every individual pixel of an image. This option is available
only when you select Trap Objects to Images.
Progressives
The term “progressives” refers to printing any combination of the C, M, Y, and K separations in a multi-color
document. If the Progressives feature is supported by your Fiery Server, you can use it to diagnose problems in a job.
Most printing processes involving more than one or two colorants apply the colorants sequentially. Traditionally,
progressives are the intermediate states after some and before all colorants have been applied. The Progressives
feature lets you select which combinations of colors to print (up to four per original document page).
The sequence for Progressives does not have to represent the actual sequence applied by the printer. A different
sequence may be useful for analyzing the image composition.
With Progressives, you can see the influence of trapping, check the halftone interaction between two colorants,
verify registration of two plates relative to each other, and see the color separation parameters (making it easy, for
example, to visualize the GCR level when only the black plate, or all but the black plate are printed).
The Progressives feature shows the color separations used by the job when printed to the copier/printer. The feature
is not intended to be used to proof for another printer.
You can configure Progressives settings and then select the Progressives print option when you print a job. The job is
printed as separations in the sequence specified.
You cannot print a job with Progressives and Postflight at the same time. A constraint is set for these print options.
ImageViewer edits to separations do not affect Progressives. If you turn off one or more separations of a job in
ImageViewer and then print the job with Progressives turned on, the job is printed with the values specified for
Progressives.
View or edit Progressives settings
The default Progressives configuration prints four sheets for each document page. Each sheet adds another color, in
this order: Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. If you want to customize the combinations of color channels or number of
sheets to print, edit the settings in the Progressives window.
1
In Device Center, click the Color Setup tab and click Progressives.
2
In the Progressives window, specify the color channels for each sheet, select the sheets to print, and click Apply.
At least one colorant (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, or Black) must be selected for each sheet and at least one sheet
must be selected.
