67 Setting up Fiery WebTools

Downloading Installers with Fiery WebTools

TO VERIFY THAT FIERY WEBTOOLS ARE SET UP ON THE FIERY X2E:

Fiery WebTools allow you to manage your Fiery X2e remotely from the Internet or
from your company’s intranet. The Fiery X2e has its own home page, from which you
are able to select from a variety of functions including WebSetup, Status, WebSpooler,
WebLink, and Installer.

For more information on using Fiery WebTools, see the User Guide.

Setting up Fiery WebTools

In order for network users to access and use Fiery WebTools, you need to set certain
Fiery X2e options in Setup. You also need to prepare each user’s workstation to
communicate with the Fiery X2e over the Internet or intranet.

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

1. Print the Configuration page from the Control Panel.

For instructions, see the User Guide.

2. On the Configuration page, check the following:

• In Network Setup>Port Setup, confirm that the appropriate network type is enabled.

• In Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup, confirm that TCP/IP is enabled

and that there is a valid, unique IP Address for the Fiery X2e.

• In Network Setup>Service Setup, confirm that Web Services are enabled.

3. If all the conditions listed in Step 2 are currently set, the Fiery X2e is properly set up
to use Fiery WebTools.

If any of the conditions listed in Step 2 are not currently set, you must change them (as
described in the Administrator Guide) before you can use Fiery WebTools.

68 Downloading Installers with Fiery WebTools

Internet Explorer v3.0.2 or 4.0.x

Mac OS—Netscape Communicator v4.0.x
NOTE: Netscape and Microsoft continue to release frequent updates to their browsers.

As support cannot be guaranteed for all versions, use the versions specified above for
best results.

4. Make sure Java is enabled in your Internet browser.

For more information on setting up the Fiery X2e and your network, see the
Administrator Guide.

Using the Installer WebTool

The Installer WebTool contains the same printer driver installers as the User Software

71 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides troubleshooting tips for some problems that may arise when
performing the procedures in this manual.

On a Windows computer

Setting up IPX (Novell) printing for Windows NT Workstation

If you have problems installing the Fiery X2e with Windo ws NT, try installing another
PostScript printer (such as the Apple LaserWriter IIg), and then install the Fiery X2e.
Installing another printer insures that all files are properly installed and available. For
instructions, see your Windows NT documentation.

Installing the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver

If you are reinstalling the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver, delete any previous v ersions
and related files before installing. Search for and delete all files named Efm*.* in the
Windows\System folder and the Windows\System\Color folder. See the Adobe
README file included with the printer driver for more information.

Problems with the Fiery utilities on Windows 95 or Windows NT

1. If you are using Windows 95, mak e sur e that IPX/SPX and TCP/IP netw orking protocols
are both enabled.

See “Completing the Windows 95 IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell) connection” on page 10.

2. Make sure that the connection is configured correctly for your site.

To check the current configuration, launch a Fiery utility and choose Open from the
File menu. Select the Fiery X2e and click Modify to see current settings. If the settings
are incorrect, you can change them in this dialog box.

72 Troubleshooting

On a Mac OS computer

Setting up the Fiery X2e in the Chooser

If auto-setup does not work and you are prompted to select the PPD, select the Fiery
X2e file in your System Folder:Extensions:Printer Descriptions folder.

Select “Fiery X2e PRN-M.”

Installing screen fonts

If you experience problems installing the PostScript screen fonts from the User
Software CD to the System Folder:Fonts folder, try the following:

1. Quit all applications and close all windows.

2. Create a new folder and name it “Uninstalled Fonts.”

This folder must be located outside of the System Folder.

3. Move fonts that you are not using from the System Folder:Fonts folder to the
Uninstalled Fonts folder.

4. Continue to copy fonts from the User Software CD to the System Folder:Fonts folder.

5. Create an alias to the System Folder:Fonts folder and to the Uninstalled Fonts folder.

6. Place both aliases on your desktop.

7. When necessary, use the aliases to open both folders and move fonts between them.

If you have any applications running, you must quit and relaunch them in order to
view and use the newly installed fonts.

Alternately, you can try combining fonts from multiple suitcases into a single suitcase.
