Preparing for installation on Windows computers

Before installing CX3641MFP software on a Windows computer, note the following:

• To use Command WorkStation or ColorWise Pro Tools on a Windows computer, you
must install Sun Java 5. If this file is not installed on your computer, the Command
WorkStation or ColorWise Pro Tools installer automatically initiates the installation
process. Follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: The recommended version of Sun Java is provided on the EFI Utilities (windows)

CD.

• To install the CX3641MFP software, you must have Service Pack 4 installed on a
Windows 2000 computer, and Service Pack 2 installed on a Windows XP computer.
If you do not, a warning message alerts you to install the Service Pack.

Different versions of Sun Java can be installed on your computer. The CX3641MFP
software automatically finds the correct version, so you do not need to uninstall other
versions of Sun Java required for third-party applications.
