You have to enable the JDF print path on the Fiery Print Server and configure its paper catalog as JDF based. Then, PRISMAprepare can send PDF files with a JDF ticket to the Fiery Print Server using the JMF network protocol.
Now, PRISMAprepare can also download the media catalogue from the printer. PRISMAprepare compares the media used in the document with the media catalogue from the printer. When possible, the media in the document is mapped automatically to media from the printer catalogue. You have to map the media manually if the automatic media mapping is not correct or not possible. See Map the media manually in PRISMAprepare or on the Fiery Print Server.
To solve any problems connecting to the Fiery Print Server, see How to troubleshoot the communication between PRISMAprepare and the Fiery Print Server.
