5-1 Fiery Downloader

Fiery Downloader allows you to send PostScript ﬁles, EPS ﬁles, and PDF ﬁles directly

to the Fiery ZX without using the application they were created in. It also enables you

to manage printer fonts on the Fiery ZX.

You can use Fiery Downloader from a remote workstation as well as from the

Command WorkStation. Fiery Downloader requires a network connection—you

cannot use Fiery Downloader with the parallel port. For information on supported

networking protocols, see Getting Started.

NOTE: The Windows and Mac OS versions of Fiery Downloader are fundamentally the

same; differences are noted in this chapter. Where a window or dialog box is illustrated,

the Windows version comes ﬁrst, followed by the Mac OS version.

Fiery Downloader

You can use Fiery Downloader to:

• Print PostScript ﬁles, EPS ﬁles, and PDF ﬁles to the Fiery ZX

• Check the status of the Fiery ZX

• Manage the PostScript printer fonts stored on the Fiery ZX hard disk (this feature

requires that Publish Direct Connection is set to Yes in Fiery ZX Printer Setup)

NOTE: Fiery Downloader was designed speciﬁcally for the Fiery ZX; you cannot use it

with any other printer. You can also use standard LaserWriter downloaders, such as the

Adobe Font Downloader, with the Fiery ZX.
