Configure native document settings

Native document conversion allows the automatic conversion and printing of Microsoft Office files (Word,

PowerPoint, and Excel).

Important: There are two versions of Configure and they are specific to the Fiery Server you are connected to. This

is a combined procedure that describes what to do when connected to a Fiery Server with FS100/100Pro or earlier,

and notes about what to do with FS150/150 Pro or later. If you are not sure which version of Configure you are

using, see Which version of Configure am I using? on page 27.

When a user sends these files to the Fiery Server as e-mail attachments or using the USB Media Server feature, the

Fiery Server sends them to the PrintMe server for conversion to PostScript files. The files are then printed on the

Fiery Server.

Note: Not every Fiery Server support this option.

From Configure, choose PDF > Native Documents.

Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find settings mentioned in this

procedure in RIP > Native Documents instead.

Select Enable Native Document Conversion using PrintMe.

The connection to the PrintMe server is initiated. Follow the on-screen instructions. You must enable DNS to use

this option.

If you want an e-mail to be sent to the administrator when the PrintMe licensing updates change, select Send

licensing updates to the Fiery administrator e-mail address.

Apply or save your changes.

Configure APPE

You can enable Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) to allow the Fiery Server to process and render PDF jobs without

the need to convert them to PostScript.

Important: There are two versions of Configure and they are specific to the Fiery Server you are connected to. This

is a combined procedure that describes what to do when connected to a Fiery Server with FS100/100Pro or earlier,

and notes about what to do with FS150/150 Pro or later. If you are not sure which version of Configure you are

using, see Which version of Configure am I using? on page 27.

From Configure, choose PDL > Adobe PDF Print Engine.

Note: If you are connected to a Fiery Server with FS150/150Pro, you can find settings mentioned in this

procedure in RIP > APPE instead.

Select Enable Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE).

If you want the Adobe PDF Print Engine Preferred option in Job Properties to be selected by default for all PDF

jobs, select Use Adobe PDF Print Engine Preferred for PDF jobs.

Apply or save your changes.

Once enabled in Configure, a checkbox for Adobe PDF Print Engine Preferred is available in Job Properties.
