INSTALLING USER SOFTWARE 8
INSTALLING USER SOFTWARE
This chapter describes installation of EX Print Server user software on both Windows and
Mac OS computers.
You can install EX Print Server user software in the following ways:
• From the User Software DVD
• From the EX Print Server, using the Internet or intranet
• From the EX Print Server directly, over the network
If you have previously installed any EX Print Server user software on your computer, the
installer allows you to uninstall those applications during the process.
Preparing for installation on Windows computers
Before installing EX Print Server software on a Windows computer, be sure to complete the
following:
• To use EX Print Server user software on a Windows computer, the Sun Java file, Java
Runtime Environment (JRE), provided in the Common Utilities folder on the User
Software DVD, must be installed on your computer. If the correct Sun Java file is not
installed, the Fiery User Software Installer installs it automatically before installing the
EX Print Server software.
NOTE: The recommended version of Sun Java JRE is provided on the User Software DVD.
• To install the EX Print Server software, you must have Service Pack 2, or Service Pack 3,
installed on a Windows XP computer. If not, a warning message alerts you to install the
Service Pack.
After installation of Sun Java JRE, a Java Web Start shortcut is created on your computer
desktop. The shortcut is not intended for use with EX Print Server software and can be
deleted.
Different versions of Sun Java JRE can be installed on your computer. The EX Print Server
software automatically finds the correct version, so you do not need to uninstall other versions
of Sun Java JRE required for third-party applications.

COMMAND WORKSTATION 30
Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting basic connection and software problems with Command
WorkStation, see the following sections. For additional troubleshooting information,
see Command WorkStation Help.
Command WorkStation cannot connect to the EX Print Server
If you cannot connect to the EX Print Server or locate the EX Print Server from your
computer, contact the network administrator. The administrator may need to troubleshoot
your network connections and check settings on the servers that you print to. If settings have
changed, it may be necessary to reconfigure the EX Print Server (see Configuration and Setup).
If you can connect to the EX Print Server with another utility, you may need to reconfigure
the Command WorkStation connection to the EX Print Server (see page 15).
If you configured the EX Print Server and set up client computers and network servers
according to the instructions in Configuration and Setup, print a Test Page. If you can print
the Test Page but still cannot print a document from a remote computer, contact your
network administrator to troubleshoot the network connection.
If you cannot connect and cannot print a Test Page, check the press user interface for error
information.
Command WorkStation does not respond
If Command WorkStation is unresponsive, use the following troubleshooting guidelines.
IF THE COMMAND WORKSTATION WINDOWS DO NOT UPDATE
1 Log off and then quit Command WorkStation.
2 Restart Command WorkStation or restart the computer.
If the Command WorkStation windows do not update or no jobs are displayed, and the
mouse has no effect (you cannot select a job or a window, use a right mouse command, or
select a menu item), the EX Print Server is offline or network communication has failed.
TO FORCE AN EXIT FROM COMMAND WORKSTATION
1 On a Windows computer, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and use the Program Manager to close
Command WorkStation.
On a Mac OS X computer, choose Apple menu > Force Quit, select Command WorkStation, and
then click Force Quit. Or, press Command+Option+Esc, select Command WorkStation, and
then click Force Quit.
2 At the EX Print Server, disconnect and reconnect the network cable, and then try printing a
Test Page or Configuration page.
3 If printing fails, restart the EX Print Server.

•
Fiery SeeQuence Compose allows you to define the chapter divisions of a job, print ranges
of pages on varying types of media, insert blank media between pages, and insert tab media
containing text labels (if the press supports tab printing).
•
Fiery SeeQuence Impose applies imposition layouts to jobs for custom printing, binding,
and trimming. Impose also applies impositions to variable data jobs and saves imposed
jobs as PDF files.
•
Fiery SeeQuence Suite integrates Impose and Compose features in the Preview window.
NOTE: Fiery SeeQuence Suite is provided as a standard feature with the EX Print Server.
About the SeeQuence Suite Kit
