About this Guide

This guide describes the initial printer driver
installation. For more detailed information, refer to
the EFI User Software Installation Guide and EFI
Configuration Guide provided on the User
Documentation CD (CD3).

The general steps for installing the software are as
follows:

• Install the PostScript printer driver or PCL
printer driver and corresponding printer driver
files.

• Set up the printer driver to communicate with
the Fiery.

• Install Fiery utilities and user software.

Configure Fiery utilities and user software

You must also configure either a local connection
for printing directly to your printer or a network
connection for printing over a network.

NOTE

A full set of user documentation, where
procedures are described in detail, is provided on
the User Documentation CD (CD3).

Network Installation
Windows

Selecting a printer driver in Windows

Select a driver appropriate for your application.

Fiery PostScript printer driver

Use this driver for high-resolution color graphics
applications and pre-press graphic proofing. This
driver also includes advanced features which may
only be used by a network system administrator.

PCL printer driver

PCL and PCL6 printer drivers are included mainly
for compatibility with legacy systems.

You can install both drivers and use either one
depending on your application. However, each
driver must be installed individually.

CAUTION!

Do not connect this product to an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS). For further information
please contact your Sharp dealer or
www.sharpusa.com.

1 Install the Ferrite Core

IMPORTANT!

This safeguard is an FCC requirement.

In order to reduce electromagnetic interference—
”noise” that interferes with TVs or other
appliances—you must place the enclosed ferrite
core on the network cable connected to your
printer. Here is how to do it:

1. Disconnect the network cable from the printer,
if necessary.

2. Loop the cable if necessary to keep the ferrite
core in place.

Be sure to use the 15A AC power cord supplied
with the printer. Use of a power cord NOT
supplied with this printer, or an extension cord,
may result in overheating, and could be a safety
hazard.

3. Place the open core about 1 inch from the cable
connector on the printer end.

4. Press the two halves of the core together until
they click shut.
