Xerox CX240, CX250 manual Setting PPD File Parameters

208 Appendix A– Setting Parameters

Setting PPD File Parameters

You can set job parameters from a client workstation using the PPD file, or you can define a virtual printer with predefined PPD file settings.

To print a file from Windows, first set up a Spire CX250 color server network printer with the appropriate PPD file. The PPD file contains all the parameters and paper stock definitions for the printer and enables you to print your file properly.

Table 12 lists the PPD file parameters available.

Notes:

•In the PPD file, the Printer’s Default option is selected for all PPD file parameters. The Printer’s Default option corresponds to the settings of the currently selected virtual printer.

•Print settings defined in the job file override the settings of the virtual printer.

•To ensure that grayscale images created in RGB applications (such as PowerPoint) are counted as black and white instead of color in both the Spire CX250 color server and the Xerox DocuColor 240/250 printer-copier billing meters, select Gray RGB>Print grays using black toner in the PPD file.
