Installing User Software on a Windows Computer
1 Installing Windows software
This chapter describes installing software and setting up printing from a Windows-based computer running Windows 95, Windows 3.1x, or Windows NT 4.0.
The general steps for installing the Fiery ZX 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 ZX.
•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).
•Install the Command WorkStation software on the designated Windows NT 4.0 workstation(s).
•Configure the connection for Fiery Downloader, Fiery Print Calibrator, Fiery Scan, and the Command WorkStation.
•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 ZX 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 45):
•ICM printer profile
•Separation Tables and a monitor settings file for use with Adobe Photoshop
•PostScript CMYK reference file
•PostScript PANTONE Coated Color Reference file
•RGB color reference files for specifying colors from Microsoft Word and PowerPoint
The Command WorkStation CD contains the installer for the Command WorkStation application.
NOTE: If you operate the Fiery ZX in a copy shop, quick print shop, or service bureau, you might want to provide copies of the printer driver, PPD file, separation tables, and relevant documentation to customers. This ensures that jobs they prepare are properly formatted for printing to the Fiery ZX.
Downloading printer files with the Installer WebTool
Installers for the Fiery ZX printer files can be downloaded from the Fiery ZX with the Installer WebTool (if the site administrator has enabled Internet access to the
Fiery ZX). For instructions, see “Using the Installer WebTool” on page 68.
Once you download the installers, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.
3 Setting up the Fiery ZX as a PostScript printer
Setting up the Fiery ZX as a PostScript printer
To set up the Fiery ZX as a PostScript printer, you need a PostScript printer driver and the appropriate Fiery ZX PPD file.
•For Windows 95 or Windows 3.1x, install the appropriate Adobe PostScript printer driver, included with the Fiery ZX user software. Both drivers are capable of providing access to all Fiery ZX features and support PostScript 3.
•For Windows NT 4.0 systems, install the Microsoft PostScript printer driver that came with your Windows system software. This driver may not support all Fiery ZX features.
The following procedures are specific to each version of Windows.
Setting up PostScript printing with Windows 95
You can use the following procedure whether you are installing from the User Software CD or with installer files downloaded using the Installer WebTool.
NOTE: If you have problems setting up the Fiery ZX, install another PostScript printer such as the Apple LaserWriter, and then install the Fiery ZX.
TO INSTALL THE ADOBE POSTSCRIPT PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 95:
1.If you are installing from the CD, insert it into the CD-ROM drive and double-click the icon of the CD, and open the English\Instalrs\Ps_drvr folder.
If you are installing from the files you downloaded using the Installer WebTool, double-click the icon of your hard disk drive, and open the PrntrDrv\Ps_drvr folder.
2.Open the Win_9x folder, and double-click the Setup.exe icon.
3.Read the End User License Agreement. If you agree with the terms and conditions of the agreement, click Accept.
You must click Accept before setup can continue. If you click Decline, you are prompted to either continue with setup or 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 ZX to accept print jobs from your computer
7Setting up the Fiery ZX as a PostScript printer
•Configure a port on each Windows 95 computer for the network or connection type

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 Windows 95. In addition, a change to one of the Fiery ZX Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool files to the Fiery ZX rather than print directly.
TO PREPARE THE FIERY ZX AND YOUR COMPUTER FOR PARALLEL PORT
PRINTING:
1.Connect the Fiery ZX to the parallel port on your computer.
For instructions, see the Configuration Guide.
2.In Network Setup>Port Setup>Parallel Port Setup, set Enable Parallel Port to Yes.
For more information about Fiery ZX Setup, see the Configuration Guide.
3.If you want to spool files to the Fiery ZX, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 10. If you want to print directly to the Fiery ZX, 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.
8 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer
TO PREPARE THE PRINTER FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING:
1.Click the Start button, choose Settings, and then choose Printers.
2.Click the Fiery ZX 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).
NOTE: 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.
4.If you changed the selection in the “Print to the following port” menu, click Apply.
A Warning dialog box may appear, stating that fonts you downloaded to the previously selected port may be lost; click OK.
5.Click Spool Settings.
6.Select either “Spool print jobs so program finishes printing faster” or “Print directly to the printer.”
The selection you make depends on the action you took in step 3 on page 7:
•If you set the Port Timeout in Seconds to 10, you can select either option; however, spooling is faster.
•If you set the Port Timeout in Seconds to 5, select “Print directly to the printer.”
7.Select “Disable bi-directional support for this printer” and click OK.
9Setting up the Fiery ZX as a PostScript printer
8.Click Apply.
You are now ready to print from your applications to the Fiery ZX with the parallel port. To confirm the connection, print a Windows 95 test page.

10.When prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
After Windows 95 restarts, you can complete the procedure described in “To prepare the printer for parallel port printing:” on page 8.
Completing the Windows 95, IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell) connection
If you are printing through a Novell server, the Novell network and file server should be set up before you begin. The file server should be configured with a print server and print connection for the Fiery ZX. For details see your NetWare documentation and the Configuration Guide.
You can also use Fiery Downloader to print directly to the Fiery ZX from Windows 95 with IPX/SPX.
