FCC Information

WARNING: FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modiﬁcations to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Refer to the Class Compliance sticker afﬁxed to the back of your Fiery (or, in the case of embedded systems, to the sticker afﬁxed to the print engine) to identify the appropriate classiﬁcation (A or B, below) for this product.

Class A Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Industry Canada Class A Notice

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Avis de Conformation Classe A de l’Industrie Canada

Cet appareil numérique de la Classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Class B Declaration of Conformity

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modiﬁcations made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Industry Canada Class B Notice

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Avis de Conformation Classe B de l’Industrie Canada

Cet appareil numérique de la Classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

RFI Compliance Notice

This equipment has been tested concerning compliance with the relevant RFI protection requirements both individually and on a system level (to simulate normal operation conditions). However, it is possible that these RFI Requirements are not met under certain unfavorable conditions in other installations. It is the user who is responsible for compliance of his particular installation.

Dieses Gerät wurde sowohl einzeln als auch in einer Anlage, die einen normalen Anwendungsfall nachbildet, auf die Einhaltung der Funkentstörbestimmungen geprüft. Es ist jedoch möglich, dass die Funkentstörbestimmungen unter ungünstigen Umständen bei anderen Gerätekombinationen nicht eingehalten werden. Für die Einhaltung der Funkentstörbestimmungen einer gesamten Anlage, in der dieses Gerät betrieben wird, ist der Betreiber verantwortlich.

Compliance with applicable regulations depends on the use of shielded cables. It is the user who is responsible for procuring the appropriate cables.

Die Einhaltung zutreffender Bestimmungen hängt davon ab, dass geschirmte Ausführungen benützt werden. Für die Beschaffung richtiger Ausführungen ist der Betreiber verantwortlich.

xiii About this manual

Introduction

This manual describes how to install user software for the Fiery Print Controller AR-PE3, and how to set up printing from Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS computers. For information about setting up network servers and clients to use the Fiery Print Controller AR-PE3, see the general information about using the color copier/printer, your computer, application software, or network, see the manuals that accompany those products.

OTE

The term “Fiery X3e” is used to refer to the Fiery Print Controller AR-PE3. The term “copier/printer” is used to refer to the AR-C330. The name “Aero” is used in illustrations to represent the Fiery X3e. The term “Windows” is used to refer to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, wherever appropriate.

The Fiery X3e includes support for Fiery WebTools™ and software for Command WorkStation, which enables an operator to manage all jobs sent to the Fiery X3e. Although it may not be the case at all sites, the documentation for this product assumes the presence of an operator who controls and manages jobs sent by users from remote workstations.

1-1 Setting up PostScript or PCL printing with Windows 98/Me

apter 1: Installing 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. For the Windows versions supported, see the

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 Fiery X3e.

•Install Fiery utilities and user software—Fiery Mail Port, Fiery Remote Scan, Fiery Downloader, ColorWise Pro Tools, and Command WorkStation.

•Install Adobe Acrobat and PitStop for use with DocBuilder Pro.

• Conﬁgure the connection for Fiery utilities and user software.

• Copy additional ﬁles from the User Software CD as required.

In addition to using the User Software CD, you can download printer drivers from the Fiery X3e with the Installer WebTool (if the administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery X3e). For instructions, see “Using the Installer WebTool” on page 3-2. Once you download the printer ﬁles, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.

Quick Start Guide

Setting up PostScript or PCL printing with Windows 98/Me

To set up the Fiery X3e as a PostScript or PCL printer, you must install the PostScript or PCL printer driver for Windows 98/Me and the corresponding printer description ﬁles. You must also conﬁgure either a local connection for printing directly or a network connection for printing over the network.

If you are printing using SMB (Server Message Block), you can connect to the Fiery X3e and install the printer drivers in a single procedure. For more information, see “Setting up SMB printing with Windows 98/Me” on page 1-10.

Each connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) requires a new printer driver and printer description ﬁle. Repeat the procedure “To set up SMB printing on Windows 98/Me” for each connection. If you install more than one printer, give each a descriptive name during printer driver installation, such as Aero-Print or Aero-Hold, so you can easily identify printers.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Conﬁgure the Fiery X3e for SMB printing in Run Setup> Network Setup>Service Setup > Windows Setup.

SMB printing is referred to as Windows Printing in Setup, on the Control Panel Map, and on the Conﬁguration page.
