Acc-391 F-1 4. CWS4.1 4-1. Scale to Fit There are two methods for a user to scale a document defined with one paper size to onto a different paper size. Some applications, including Adobe Acrobat 4.x/5.x, Photoshop 6, Microsoft Excel, etc., provide a specific option to 'fit to page'. Applying this option, the application inserts commands into the ps stream acted upon by the interpreter to fit the document to the selected paper size.
Acc-391 Specifying this option in CWS4 overrides the setting from the application. This feature is not available from the Fiery Driver because there is no clear way to make this feature straightforward and easy use from the Fiery Driver, especially when used in conjunction with the application 'fit to page' feature and the CWS4 override feature.
Acc-391 4-3.

Acc-391 5-1. Auto Rasterizing for Preview The user can only see previews for rasterized jobs because DBPro is not supported on CWS LE 4.0. If the user previews a job that is not rasterized, the Fiery will automatically rasterize the job and generate a preview. Note: Raster date is held after quitting from Preview. 6. Fiery Driver 2.0 6-1. User Customizable Shortcuts This is a functional enhancement to the Fiery driver.
Acc-391 F-8 6-2. FreeForm Preview Two-way Communications enables the Fiery driver to receive / retrieve stored FreeForm masters already resident in the Fiery server.

The FreeForm masters stored in the Fiery can also be individually previewed (low resolution preview).
Acc-391 Note1: Preview Master is available only when Two-Way communication is enabled. Note2: Available FreeForm Masters are denoted by their number and name, i.e. “Sample FreeForm Master” whereas blank slots show only the number.
