1 Installing Windows software
Installing User Software on a Windows Computer
This chapter describes installing software and setting up printing from a Windows-based computer running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
The general steps for installing the Fiery XJ software are:
• Install the Adobe PostScript printer driver (Windows 95) or Windows 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 XJ.
• Install Fiery Downloader and Fiery Spooler (for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0).
• Configure the connection for Fiery Downloader (for Windows 95 or Windows NT
4.0).
• Configure the connection for Fiery Spooler (for Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0).
Installing Windows software
The Instalrs folder on the User Software CD contains the following installer folders:
• Download—Fiery Downloader installer
• Ps_drvr—Adobe PostScript printer driver installer for Windows 95, and Fiery XJ
PPD files for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
• Spooler—Fiery Spooler installer
In addition, the User Software CD includes various color files. These files must 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 38):
• Calibration file to perform Autocal Letter Mode Calibration
• Three downloadable P ostScript files that allow you to change the CMYK S imulation
setting to DIC, Euroscale, or back to SWOP-Coated (the initial default).
2 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer
Downloading printer files with the Installer WebTool
Installers for the Fiery XJ printer files can be downloaded from the Fiery XJ with the Installer W ebTool (if the site administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery XJ). For instructions, see “Using the Installer WebTool” on page 46.
Once you download the installers, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.
Setting up the Fiery XJ as a PostScript printer
To set up the Fiery XJ as a PostScript printer, you need a PostScript printer driver and the appropriate Fiery XJ PPD file.
• For Windows 95, install the Adobe PostScript printer driver included with the
Fiery XJ user software and the Fiery XJ PPD. The driver is capable of providing access to all Fiery XJ features and supporting PostScript 3.
• For Windows NT 4.0 systems, install the printer driver that came with your
Windows system software and the Fiery XJ PPD. This driver may not support all Fiery XJ 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.
