Productivity
The DocuColor 1257GA and Print Server L9:
The Winning Combination for Colour Professionals
Flexible Management that Works with your Environment
ServerManager Integrated Software
Job Saving that Supports Data Compression
Job management,
machine management,
server environment
setting, calibration or
profile management,
initial setting print options,
backup and restoration
of fonts and other server
management functions
are available on the
ServerManager. A popup
window opens as needed, visually displaying the machine status,
cancellation procedure and other important print information.
Print jobs and RIP-processed data can be compressed and saved,
allowing hard disk space in the Print Server to be used effectively.
Font Backup for Font Restoration
The font backup function facilitates font restoration in case of an
emergency.
Forcible Overwrite Function Prioritises Settings on the
Print Server
Users have the option to ignore the print settings from the client PC
and use the default option settings in Print Server for output. The
administrator can manage print options for each logical printer to
accurately set them on Client PCs.
WebManager
Sample Output of Added Fonts
Print jobs in Print Server can be remotely monitored for status and
®
controlled from a Web browser such as Netscape Navigator and
Internet Explorer with WebManager. An operator can stop or resume
a job, and jams or paper and toner shortages can be checked from
a client PC. Also, printer driver or scanning software can be easily
downloaded for client PCs.
Installed fonts can be listed for verification, and the font sample list
can also be output.
Printing History Helps Check Job Errors
StatusMonitor Enables Monitoring and Operation from
a Macintosh Client
Basic operations or verification of a job and printer status can be
performed from a Macintosh client in the network environment
using only AppleTalk, without TCP/IP. Up to four Print Server units
can be monitored and operated. Up to 10 Macintosh clients can
be connected to a Print Server unit, supporting a small network
environment.
Not only successful printing - but also error jobs - can be saved in the
history and printed, and the usage of Print Server can be checked in
more detail.
The Fuji Xerox DocuColor 1257GA with Printer Server L9 offers a complete proofing
solution for the reproduction of colour images with discerning precision and
incredible reliability.
The DocuColor 1257GA with Print Server L9 was developed by Fuji Xerox. Through extensive research and
development, Fuji Xerox has developed a customised Print Server with the capacity to optimise image quality
and colour results like you've never seen before. The colour results are guaranteed and second-to-none.
The DocuColor 1257GA with Print Server L9 provides the discerning colour professional with superb image
quality, sophisticated colour management, advanced colour consistency, and expert workflow and proofing
functions for today's demanding advertising, design, print and publish industries.
With a compact design and stunning true 2,400 dpi output comparable in quality to an offset press,
the DocuColor 1257GA quickly creates beautifully textured highlights, realistic skin tones, smooth colour
gradations, and seamless diagonal lines, fine line and text handling with ease.
The Fuji Xerox Print Server L9 is also equipped with a sophisticated colour management system for accurate
colour results and support of diverse workflows; an advanced colour profiling system and design for colour
consistency; file checking tools for precise proofing; and remote proof workflow to save time and money.
Backup of Settings
ServerManager's environment setting information, calibration data,
allocation information, RGB color correction profile, address book
data, CMYK simulation profile and other color profile data can be
backed up, reducing cumbersome resetting in case of an emergency.
With its recent technology advances, the DocuColor 1257GA print output meets the high standards required
by creative agencies, pre-press professionals and commercial printers alike.
Network Printer Management and Setting
Multiple logical printers can be created and set for each protocol
including AppleTalk, TCP/IP (lpr) and FTP output. This decreases
administrative workload and permits smooth output management

User-Adjusted Curve
Subject to first print out, operators can perfect image quality by
changing the User Adjustment Curves on each CMYK color level.
When these enhancements are made at the server, improved
productivity and faster print times result. Adjustment is available in
all colour modes including RGB, CMYK, CIE image, and spot colours.
In addition, the highlight adjustment function allows fine tuning of
highlight-side portions.
automatically starts when a file is sent to the hot folder created in
the server, allowing sequential printing of multiple files and shared
workgroup folders.
1
Sharpness adjustment lets users make printed images look more or
less sharp depending on needs.
Integrated Color Profile Maker Pro Version 7.2
The fully integrated Color Profile Maker Pro feature allows creation
of sophisticated CMYK profiles at
the print server. The built-in Color
Profile Maker Pro provides greater
flexibility on print runs, simplifying
colour matching across all digital and
offset print devices - and enhancing
consistency within a production
workflow.
High-Speed Printing of Large-Volume Data
For example, different jobs
retained by different OSs
can be combined as one

Convenient Tools for Perfect Job Submissions
Check Data in Advance for Submission Requirements
The Print Server L9 is equipped with tools to help users check data
for errors prior to printing. Potential problems can be detected and
eliminated before data is submitted to the printing company.
• Pre-flight check function
The pre-flight check function lists fonts, colour space (such as
CMYK and RGB), spot colours, and
other elements used in data so
users can check errors in advance.
• Preview of printed result (saved
as TIFF file)
A printed result can be checked
®
before printing with Adobe
Photoshop or another application
during a composite or separation
job.
Comprehensive Warning Functions Prevent Mistakes
A variety of print warning functions allow users to check errors in
data before it is sent to a printing company.
No warning may be issued for some data, depending on the application used.
• RGB warning
RGB images that will print in grayscale on offset press can be easily
detected when marked in magenta as a warning. Similarly, cyan is
used to warn users of mistakes in CIE images.
®
• Overprint warning
Overprinting or trapping
can be specified and
printed in magenta as a
warning.
Image on monitor
• Spot Colour Warning
If a spot colour has been specified by
mistake, a spot colour plate is generated in
addition to the process colour plate in the
printmaking phase. Since spot colours are
output in gray for warning, users can recognise them in the comprehensive layout
phase.
• Total Ink Coverage Warning
If the total coverage of CMYK exceeds specific coverage, an offset
or trapping error may occur due to insufficient drying during printing. To avoid these problems, objects that exceed the specified
limit of total ink coverage are printed in a warning colour.
A colour patch, setup information note on printing options, comments, or custom items can be printed on the lower left corner of
the sheet. This function allows easy management of comprehensive
layouts when printing different versions for comparison.

When CMYK is uniformly used for all data, CMYK colour reproduction in the printing environment can be simulated. This workflow
enables total colour management, as well as colour reproduction
in combination with RGB warnings, separated plate combination/
overprint reproduction modes, and EPS (JPEG) image supporting
functions.
When sRGB is selected, sRGB images taken with a digital camera are
printed with automatic image correction.

When an Office application such as Word , Excel , or PowerPoint is
used and the final product is output from a printer, the RGB workflow can be used. Simply set the RGB colour correction to 'sRGB' or
'on' to use the default RGB output profile.

New Algorithm for Automatic Correction
of Photo Image Quality
A new algorithm that recognises and optimises human skin tones has
been added to the automatic adjustment function. As a result, color
professionals can output even smoother and more natural skin tone
with the DocuColor 1257GA.

Great Tools to Support Creative Work
Paper Tray Supports Full A3 Size Printing
Print Outlined Fonts without Expanding Them
The DocuColor 1257GA includes a bypass tray to support SRA3 size
sheets up to 320 x 450mm or 305 x 457mm, and also supports a tray
setting to run SRA3. The printable area of 297 x 432mm for copying
and 305 x 444mm for printing allows crop marks, helping users complete a variety of jobs including comprehensive layouts, catalogue
proofs and POP.
In the continuous tone K100%
resolution mode, texts and
line art can be processed at
a resolution of 1,200 dpi and
printed in high resolution. In
addition, the expansion of fonts
- which occurs when an outlined
document, PS or PDF file is
printed - can be reduced.
Outlined output
Although it is common to output EPS (JPEG encoded) images using
black only with separation, some image setters can handle colours.
With colour image setters, the DocuColor 1257GA can output EPS
images in colour and monochrome.

Setup on Print Server is required.

When using 320 × 450 mm sheet. The guaranteed printable area is 297 × 444 mm.
The maximum printable area is 297 × 451 mm when using 305 × 457 mm sheet. (The
guaranteed printing size is the same.)
Easily Manage Plate Output
Usually, a color laser printer with an overprint checking function
receives separation data from a DTP application and composes it in
the printer, which can take a long time to process. To help users avoid
the task of checking overprint every time a comprehensive layout is
output, the overprint function has significantly simplified this process.
It is no longer necessary to separate data before sending it because
overprints can be reproduced within the Print Server and checked
with nearly the same time and labor required for composite outputs.
Print Server L9 is equipped with an SMTP/POP client function, which
enables users to send and receive e-mail between Print Servers. A
scanned document can be converted into a PDF file, attached to
e-mail and sent to Print Server at a remote location, where the Print
Server receiving the e-mail automatically prints the PDF file. Remote
PDF proofing workflow improves the efficiency of document proofreading, and a variety of data transmission methods are available,
depending on the user's requirements. Data can be sent from the
Print Server L9 or from a client PC and transmitted through the Internet, FTP or email to another Print Server L9.

A 2-color print simulation function is equipped to alternatively replace
spot colours with CMYK toner for reproduction. Colour reproduction
equivalent to two-colour printing can be easily performed by entering
the spot colour number in the specified plate, saving time and labour
by eliminating the necessity for a 'dummy' comprehensive layout
used for communicating colour images.

Reproduction of Overprint and Trapping through
Synthesis of Separated Plate
The DocuColor 1257GA is equipped with a composition function to
automatically compose data separated for output, similar to the film
making process. In addition to CMYK, separation output for spot
colours is supported. The same effects in the final output can be
checked before film making.
