    How to Print Using The

    PDF Printer Driver


    GX Print Server for
    Iridesse Production Press
    Version 1.0

    FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.


    1
    Overview
    This exercise will demonstrate the benefit of printing from a Windows PC only client
    computer using the GX Print Server PDF Printer Driver. An Adobe Postscript Driver is
    also provided for the GX Print Server as another option for common printing
    applications (for both Mac and Windows PC). However the GX Print Server also
    provides The PDF Printer Driver (Only supported no Windows PC), which enables
    users to produce an improved printed output for certain Microsoft Office applications.
    The PDF Printer Driver also supports “pass-through mode” for some applications,
    which enables users to send the pdf file to the GX Print Server whilst using a familiar
    printer driver interface. This demonstration will allow the user to compare the two
    printer driver options.

    Supported applications for “pass-through mode”:

    o Adobe Acrobat XI or later version


    o Adobe Reader XI or later version
    o Adobe InDesign CC 2014 or later version

    Objective
    By the end of this exercise you will be able to:

    • Print from an application using both the PostScript Printer Driver and PDF Printer Driver
    • Discover the benefits of using The GX Print Server PDF Printer Driver
    • Learn how “pass-through mode” works

    Printing from Microsoft Excel

    For comparison, please install both the PS Printer


    Driver and PDF Printer Driver by referencing:
    HTD_how-to-install_printer_driver-gxprintserver.

    1. Open an Excel document by double clicking your job (or the supplied sample
    Excel file).

    2. Select [File] > [Print].

    3. Select the PDF Printer Driver for GX Print Server in the [Printer] drop down
    menu.

    4. Click [Print].

    2
    You have printed a document from Excel and will now print the
    same document using a PS Driver to compare the results.

    5. Select [File] > [Print].

    6. Select the PS Printer Driver for GX Print Server in the [Printer] drop down
    menu.

    7. Click [Print].

    8. Compare the printed output from PS Printer Driver and PDF Printer Driver.

    You have now completed this exercise.

    To practice the process of printing using “pass-through mode”, please


    continue to the next exercise.

    Printing from Acrobat DC
    (pass-through mode)
    When “pass-through mode” is used, the job name becomes
    “Unknown_xxxxxxxx”. In order to set the job name, please click
    [Job Name] in the Properties dialog box.

    1. Open the sample PDF job by double clicking the file.


    2. Select [File] > [Print].

    4
    3. Select the PDF Printer Driver for GX Print Server in the [Printer] drop down
    menu.

    4. Click [Print].

    You have printed a document from Acrobat DC using “pass-


    through mode” and will now print the same document using a
    PS Driver (without pass through mode), to compare the results.

    5
    1. Select the PS Printer Driver for GX Print Server the [Printer] drop down menu.

    2. Click [Print].

    Please note: This demonstration shows that it may take more


    time to send the data to the GX Print Server using the PS Driver.

    The improvements made by converting some applications


    directly to PDF data and using “pass-through mode” can greatly
    reduce processing times due to potentially smaller file sizes.

    Congratulations you have now completed this exercise.
