1 Installing Windows software

Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

This chapter describes installing software and setting up printing from a Windows-based computer running Windows 95, W indo ws 3.1x, or W indo ws NT 4.0.

The general steps for installing the Fiery X2e software are:

• Install the Adobe PostScript printer driver (Windows 95 and Windows 3.1x) or

Microsoft PostScript printer driver (Windows NT 4.0) and PostScript Printer Description ﬁles (PPDs) (for all Windows systems).

• Set up the printer driver to communicate with the Fiery X2e.

• Install the Fiery utilities (Fiery Downloader, Fiery Print Calibrator, and

Fiery Spooler) and Fiery Scan plug-in (Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 only).

• Conﬁgure the connection for Fiery Downloader, Fiery Print Calibrator, and Fiery

Scan.

• Conﬁgure the connection for Fiery Spooler.

• Copy additional color reference and application ﬁles from the User Software CD as

needed.

Installing Windows software

The Instalrs folder on the User Software CD contains the following installer folders:

• Calib—Fiery Print Calibrator installer

• Download—Fiery Downloader installer

• Ps_drvr—Adobe PostScript printer driver installers for Windows 95 and

Windows 3.1x, and Fiery X2e PPD ﬁles for all supported Windows systems

• Scan—TWAIN module installer, which enables you to use the Fiery Scan plug-in

for Adobe Photoshop

• Spooler—Fiery Spooler installer

2 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

In addition, the User Software CD includes various color ﬁles. These ﬁles can be copied or installed from the CD and placed in the appropriate locations on your hard disk (see “Copying color ﬁles from the User Software CD” on page 44):

• ICM printer proﬁle

• Separation Tables and a monitor settings ﬁle for use with Adobe Photoshop

You are notiﬁed that Setup is complete.

14. Click Exit.

You are ready for the instructions for connecting to your network type (see “Completing the Windows 95 connection” below).

Completing the Windows 95 connection

To print from Windows 95 you need to:

• Set up network servers, if any

• Set up the Fiery X2e to accept print jobs from your computer

• Conﬁgure a port on each Windows 95 computer for the network or connection type

For this type of connection: See:

Parallel below IPX/SPX page 11 IPX (Novell) page 13 SMB printing page 13

Completing the Windows 95 parallel port connection

Preparing a parallel port connection for Windows 95 requires speciﬁc BIOS settings on your computer, and speciﬁc port and printer settings for W indo ws 95. In addition, a change to one of the Fiery X2e Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool ﬁles to the Fiery X2e rather than print directly.

7 Setting up the Fiery X2e as a PostScript printer

TO PREPARE THE FIERY X2E AND YOUR COMPUTER FOR PARALLEL PORT

PRINTING:

1. Connect the Fiery X2e to the parallel port on your computer.

For instructions, see the Administrator Guide.

2. In Network Setup>Port Setup>Parallel Port Setup, set Enable Parallel Port to Yes.

For more information about Fiery X2e Setup, see the Administrator Guide.

3. If you want to spool ﬁles to the Fiery X2e, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 10. If you want to print directly to the Fiery X2e, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 5.

Setting this option to 10 seconds ensures that spooling is not interrupted due to timeout.

4. In your computer’s BIOS settings, set Parallel Port Mode to ECP.

To access the BIOS settings, restart the computer and press the key indicated on your monitor as soon as the computer starts up. You may have to scroll through several screens to reach the parallel port settings. After setting the Parallel Port Mode to ECP, save your changed setting and exit.

TO PREPARE THE PRINTER FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Printers.

2. Click the Fiery X2e printer icon and choose Properties from the File menu.

3. Click the Details tab, and in the “Print to the following port” menu, select LPT1: (ECP Printer Port).

OTE: Check this selection carefully. It may read LPT1: (Printer Port), which is not

equivalent to LPT1: (ECP Printer Port). If this box does not read LPT1: (ECP Printer Port), change the port setting now, as

described in “To prepare the port for parallel port printing:” on page 9, and then return to this procedure. You may need your Windows 95 system CD.
