User Software
on a Windows
Computer
This chapter describes the procedures for installing software and setting up printing
from a computer using a supported version of Windows (Windows 98/Me, NT 4.0,
2000, XP or Server 2003).
The general steps for installing the software are as follows:
• Install the PostScript printer driver or PCL printer driver and corresponding printer
driver files and set up the printer driver to communicate with the C9800.
• Install Fiery utilities and user software—EFI Fiery Mail Port, Fiery Remote Scan,
Fiery Downloader, Fiery Printer Delete Utility, ColorWise Pro Tools, and
Command WorkStation.
NOTE: If the computer is not intended to be used by the C9800 administrator,
Command WorkStation may not be required.
• Configure the connection for Fiery utilities and user software.
• Copy additional files from CD1 as required.
Setting up PostScript or PCL printing with
Windows
To set up the Fiery as a PostScript or PCL printer, you must install the PostScript or
PCL printer driver for Windows 98/Me and, for PostScript, the corresponding printer
description file. You must also configure either a local connection for printing directly
or a network connection for printing over the network.
98/Me
If you are printing using SMB (Server Message Block), you can connect to the Fiery
and install the printer drivers in a single procedure. For more information, see “Setting
up SMB printing with Windows 98/Me” on page 1-13.
NOTE: The procedures for setting up printing with the PostScript and PCL printer
drivers are similar. Either can, and should, be installed using the Installer program on
CD1 supplied with the C9800.
1-2 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

Installing the PostScript or PCL printer driver for
Windows
The following procedure describes installing the printer driver from CD1. Subsequent
procedures describe configuring installable options and setting up the printer
connection.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use the supplied Drivers CD (CD1) to
install the printer drivers. This will automatically also install the OKILPR utility,
which greatly simplifies network connection to the printer over a TCP/IP connection.
It also installs the Network Extension and the Job Monitor utility. The Network
Extension allows automatic updating of the driver following a hardware upgrade of the
C9800, and the Job Monitor facilitates user monitoring of printer and job status. If
you choose to use the standard Windows Add Printer Wizard, you will need to install
these utilities from the CD afterwards if you require these features.
TO INSTALL THE POSTSCRIPT OR PCL PRINTER DRIVER
FOR WINDOWS 98/ME
98/Me
1. Insert CD1 into your CD drive and wait for the CD to autorun the setup program.
If the CD does not autorun navigate to the CD root directory and double-click the
setup.exe program to start the installer.
2. Choose your preferred language for the
installer from the drop-down list.
3. From the next screens after accepting the
licensing conditions, you can follow the onscreen instructions to change the printer’s
menu and reporting language and optionally
printer an internal test page if you wish.
Otherwise click Skip to go straight to the main
installer screen.

4. Click Install Driver to begin installing the
required printer driver and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the driver
installation.
You can run this procedure twice if you want
more than one driver installed. For example, if
you want the EFI PostScript driver and the
PCL driver run the procedure once for each
driver and choose the required driver each time. Choose a name for the installed driver
that will indicate which driver and printer it is for.
For networked printers the installer will also install the OKILPR program, which
makes connecting the printer over TCP/IP networks easy, and the Network Extension,
which enables the driver to query the printer and automatically enable any optional
hardware installed on it.
For the Fiery PS driver the installer will also install the Job Monitor utility so that you
can monitor the status of the printer and your print jobs directly from the Windows
desktop.
5. When driver installation is complete you may
wish to install other software utilities from
the main installer screen. Information about
each is available from the installer screen
when you click on Tell me more.
Configuring installed options
After you have completed the printer driver installation, you may configure the driver
for the optional hardware installed on the C9800. This allows the driver to take
advantage of these options. You can configure the options manually or, for TCP/IP
network connections, you can use the Two-Way Communication feature to configure
the options automatically.
Configuring installed options manually
The following procedure describes how to manually configure the C9800 for the
optional hardware installed.
