Release Notes
Fiery X2 Color Server, software version 1.0
This document contains information about Fiery X2TM software version 1.0. Before using the Fiery X2 with software version 1.0, make a copy of these Release Notes and distribute them to all users.
NOTE: The term “Fiery X2” is used to refer to the Fiery X2 Color Server.
Hard disk
The Fiery X2 has an internal 3.2GB hard disk drive. The Getting Started manual incorrectly states that the hard disk drive is 2.1GB.
Setting passwords
If you want to password protect the Fiery X2, make sure to set both an Administrator password (either from the Fiery X2 Control Panel or from Fiery WebSetup) and an Operator password (from Fiery WebSetup). Setting one password and not the other may cause unexpected results.
Publish Hold Queue
Printer Setup>Publish Hold Queue must be set to Yes. Setting this option to No results in not being able to connect to the Fiery X2 via Fiery Downloader, Fiery Print Calibrator, or Fiery Scan.
NDS tree
In Network Setup>Service Setup>PServer Setup>NDS Setup, selecting an empty tree causes unexpected results. Make sure the desired NDS tree has contents before selecting it.
Token Ring TCP/IP address
In order to set a TCP/IP address for the Token Ring board, Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup>Enable TCP/IP for Token Ring must be set to Yes.
Color and Paper Setup options
The CMYK Simulation option is not available from Fiery WebSetup. This Setup option can be set only from the Control Panel (as described in Chapter 2 of the Administrator Guide). The Pure Black Text/Graphics and Black Overprint options are available from Fiery WebSetup.
Compression and Black Overprint options
In Printer Setup>Color and Paper Setup, you can set Compression to Off and Black Overprint to On; however, doing so will produce unexpected results. If you set Compression to Off, Black Overprint must be set to Off; if you set Compression to On, Black Overprint can be set to On or Off.
Not supported with Mac OS computers
Due to known Java issues, Fiery WebSetup is not supported with Mac OS computers.

|
You may experience problems when running Fiery WebSetup with Microsoft Internet |
|
Explorer on Windows 95. If this happens, quit and relaunch your web browser. If you still |
|
encounter problems, verify that you are running the latest version of Internet Explorer, |
|
because older versions may not have all of the necessary components to support Fiery |
|
WebSetup. Alternatively, you can use Netscape Communicator instead. |
Network |
Fiery utilities |
connections |
If the Fiery X2 is at the maximum amount of network connections allowed (eight), and you |
|
attempt to connect to the Fiery X2 using an additional Fiery utility from a Mac OS |
|
computer, you will not be able to connect and you will not receive an error message. |
Software uninstallers
Fiery Downloader
All Fiery utilities
If you uninstall all of the Fiery utilities, also delete the file “efinl.ini” from the Windows folder. This file is not automatically deleted by the uninstallers and may cause obsolete settings to display if any of the Fiery utilities are later reinstalled.
Fiery Scan for Windows
Unlike the other Fiery utilities for Windows, the Fiery Scan plug-in does not include an uninstaller. Reinstalling the Fiery Scan plug-in overwrites any previous software installed; however, if you want to uninstall the Fiery Scan plug-in altogether, delete the file “fy_tw_32.ds” from the Windows\Twain_32 folder.
Configuring the connection
For Windows NT 4.0, when configuring the connection to the Fiery X2 (in the Add New Server or Modify Server Settings dialog box), you may see the “PIPE” setting appear in the Protocol popup menu. Do not select this setting as the PIPE protocol is not supported.
Selecting multiple files
On Mac OS computers, in the Download dialog box, the Shift-click function (to select multiple sequential files) and the Control-click function (to select multiple non-sequential files) may have no effect. Instead, select the files to download one by one.
Duplicate PS files
On Mac OS computers, in the Download dialog box, selecting “All files” and then “Add all” may result in all PostScript files being downloaded twice or in downloading non-PostScript files. When using “All files,” make sure to individually select each file you want to download.
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files
Do not save EPS files with TIFF preview and JPEG encoding. Doing so will result in a PostScript error when the file is downloaded to the Fiery X2.

PDF (Portable Document Format) files
PDF files can be downloaded to the Print queue and the Hold queue only. Downloading PDF files to the Direct connection is not supported.
Configuring the connection
For Windows NT 4.0, when configuring the connection to the Fiery X2 (in the Add New Server or Modify Server Settings dialog box), you may see the “PIPE” setting appear in the Protocol popup menu. Do not select this setting as the PIPE protocol is not supported.
Passwords
For effective protection against inadvertent changes to Fiery X2 calibration and simulation settings, set both an Administrator password and an Operator password. If only an Operator password is set, unauthorized users may still be able to access and modify settings using Fiery Print Calibrator. Both passwords can be set from Fiery WebSetup; only the Administrator password can be set from the Fiery X2 Control Panel.
Configuration page updating
After performing calibration based on measurements obtained with a densitometer and applying that calibration from a remote workstation, you must reboot the Fiery X2 before the new calibration is reflected in the Configuration page.
Configuring the connection

For Mac OS computers, there is no scan progress bar.
Match Copy
In order to print a scan as an exact match to the original copy:
•In the Fiery Scan Options dialog box, select Match Copy from the Color Conversion pop-up menu.
•In the CMYK Simulation print option, select the Match Copy setting.
Minimizing other applications
For Windows computers, before beginning a final scan, minimize any other open applications. Not doing so may cause a delay in reactivation of the Photoshop application after the scan is completed.
