System Software Installation

The iRC6800-D1 System Software CD contains the system software and fonts. Use the System

Software CD in the following situations:

 When replacing hard disks

1.1 Note

If the system software is reinstalled, all downloaded files, additional fonts, job logs, and other such

files will be deleted from the hard drive. Be sure to explain this to the user’s administrator and take
all necessary measures such as backups first.

1.2 Items to Prepare

When installing system software, prepare the following items:

 The PC (Windows 95/98/ME) on which the downloading tool (PDL Downloader) is installed.

Use version 2.031 or newer of the PDL Downloader

PDL Downloader can also be used under Windows 2000/XP, but since the data transmission

speed is slow under these systems, a PC running Windows 9x is preferable.

 A Centronics cable that supports the IEEE 1284 standard (a cable displaying “IEEE 1284
