    No Image on Xerox EX560 Fiery Monitor

    1. Thanks. I will look into that. 2. I don't know. I really wish I could get someone to fix it. I haven't called Xerox, but I suspect that without a service contact with will cost an arm and a leg.

    No Image on Xerox EX560 Fiery Monitor

    Yes the Fiery is working because I am able to print. Through InDesign, the EFI printer driver shows me a number of the options I would be able to access if I was actually at the Fiery. And when I click on the driver's "About" page, at the bottom of the page there is a link that says "Click here...

    No Image on Xerox EX560 Fiery Monitor

    I have a Xerox Color 550 with EX560 Fiery. All of a sudden I have no image on the monitor connected to the Fiery. I swapped out two monitors so I guess the problem is the Fiery monitor card. The printer operates normally. I just can't see what's happening or make adjustments or changes as I...

    Xerox Phaser 7800GX 12x18 Color Printer

    Xerox Phaser 7800GX 12x18 Tabloid Color Printer 1200x2400 dpi. Bought new about a year ago. Includes Xerox PhaserMeter which is still new in the box. Seal on the box is unbroken. Comes with original disks and documentation. As I post this message, the copy count is 15,203. But I might make a...

    Xerox 550: Error message Says to Replace Fuser

    Although I don't see the indications you outline, if I choose to leave the new fuser in the machine following your dictum "I replace them when the machine asks just to be proactive" how do I get ride of the error message?

    Xerox 550: Error message Says to Replace Fuser

    I have a Xerox 550 with Fiery EX560. I have a message at the top of the Fiery screen saying to replace the fuser. The machine seems to work fine and has worked fine for months with this message. Today the machine jammed a lot at the fuser so I decided to replace it with a new spare I had on...

    New Xerox 550 Booklet Issue: Delivery Tray Fault

    Acceptable behavior? LOL. I am not using the trimmer, and wasn't using the finisher, until recently. But I got the machine with these options at an excellent price. I went ahead and installed the trimmer because (1) at some point I'll probably use it, (2) I needed to put it somewhere, and (3)...

    New Xerox 550 Booklet Issue: Delivery Tray Fault

    Right. I see the cable and it's not plugged into anything. So is a physical restart of the machine is the only way to clear the fault? Nothing to click? No buttons to push? I tried unplugging and replugging just the square trimmer, opening and closing the square trimmer drawer, opening and...

    New Xerox 550 Booklet Issue: Delivery Tray Fault

    Literally missing from the machine. I bought this machine used perhaps a year ago and have used it a lot for standard printing, but am just now getting into using the booklet maker. BTW, I tried to "fool" the machine by changing the quantity to 7 figuring it wouldn't proceed to fault. But it's...

    New Xerox 550 Booklet Issue: Delivery Tray Fault

    I have a Xerox 550 with Production Finisher and Square Trimmer. Everything works but the output tray is missing from the Square Trimmer. (I've been unable to find one used, but that's another story.) After printing and stitching 9 booklets -- that I just let fall into a box on the floor -- the...

    Set-up to Print Booklet on Xerox 550 with EX560 Fiery

    CWS 5, Version 5.3.1.32. I didn't know about the booklet wizard. But I just tried it out and I still don't have a correct booklet. Note the file specifications I indicated above. What I got was one 8.5x11 sheet printed on both sides. On each "5.5x8.5 page," I got two pages shrunk and turned...

    Set-up to Print Booklet on Xerox 550 with EX560 Fiery

    I have a 550, Production Finisher and EX560 Fiery. I want to print an eight-page saddle-stitched booklet, page size 5.5x8.5 when folded and stitched. My source document is a four-page PDF, page size 11x8.5, set-up in printers spreads. How do I set-up the properties in the Fiery (and maybe also...

    What Can I Use to Drive a Docucolor 260?

    Can someone answer that? And expanding it a bit -- can a RIP from a 240, 242, 250, or 252, of any brand, Fiery or Creo, including bustled Fierys, be used to drive a 260?

    What Can I Use to Drive a Docucolor 260?

    Maybe I don't understand how this works. Can someone clue me in? I thought the 260 needed some sort of "front-end" where, among other things PostScript was located, to make it work. Do I hear you saying that I can send jobs directly from InDesign to the 260 without one of these front-end boxes...

    What Can I Use to Drive a Docucolor 260?

    I don't have a Fiery. I have FreeFlow. It is the FreeFlow that has expired. I have had Fierys in the past -- and none of them have ever expired. Although I am open to tricking the software, I assume that if they want to charge $3750 for it, they have figured out how to protect it against simple...

    What Can I Use to Drive a Docucolor 260?

    I bought a used Xerox 260 with FreeFlow. It worked fine until the software license expired. (Never happened on previous machines with Fiery.) Xerox says I have to buy a software license that costs $3750. I'm keeping my eye out on eBay for a Fiery. Can I use any Fiery or just one that was...
