Installing user software in a
Windows NT 4.0 environment
Use the following instructions to install software and set up printing
from Windows NT 4.0. Ensure that your printer is properly connect and
configured for your network. For details, refer to the chapters
Connecting to the network and Performing the setup from the Printer
Control Panel
Use the contents of this chapter as follows:
• Depending on your configuration, use one of the following sections
to install printer drivers and set up appropriate connections:
• Parallel port printing
• TCP/IP and LPR printing
• IPX printing
• SMB printing
• Specify printer options with the section Setting the printer options.
• If necessary, refer to the section Installing additional software for
Windows NT 4.0.
All necessary files are included on the User Software CD.
In addition to using the User Software CD, you can download printer
drivers from the printer to your workstation with the Installer WebTool
(if the system administrator has enabled Internet access to the printer).
You can then install the drivers from your workstation. For instructions,
refer to the section Using the Installer WebTool in the chapter Using
the Fiery WebTools. After you download the printer files, the
installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.

11. Installing user software in a Windows NT 4.0 environment
Overview of installation
Installing the DocuColor 2006 user software includes the following:
• Installing the PostScript or PCL printer driver and corresponding
printer description files and setting up the printer driver to
communicate with the printer through the Add Printer Wizard
• Setting the printer options
• Copying additional files from the User Software CD as needed
To print from over the network from a Windows NT 4.0 workstation,
ensure the following tasks have been completed:
• Set up network servers, if any.
• Set up the printer to accept print jobs from the workstation.
• Configure a port on each Windows NT 4.0 workstation for the
network type.
Before you begin
1. If your system administrator has not already done so, connect the
printer to the desired port on the workstation. For details, refer to
the chapters Connecting to the network and Performing the setup
from the Printer Control Panel.
If you are uncertain what type of network you have, contact your
system administrator.
2. Print a configuration sheet at the printer to obtain the name of the
printer and settings that will be used in the following procedures.

and print using WebDownloader.
• ICM folder—ICM monitor setting file and device profiles specially
designed for use with the printer.
• Clrfiles folder (inside English folder)—Cmyk.ps, an 11-page, letter-
size PostScript file to use for reference when defining CMYK colors
in applications. Pantone.ps, a 19-page, letter-size PostScript file
that indicates the closest equivalent of PANTONE coated colors
that the printer can produce. The method used to print the
Pantone.ps file differs depending on the Spot Color Matching
setting.
You can print Rgb_01.doc from Microsoft Word 97 or later to view
RGB colors. You can print Rgb_02.ppt from PowerPoint 6.0 or
later to view available RGB colors.
• Calibrat folder (inside English/Clrfiles folder)—Four PostScript
measurements files of color patches: Custom21.ps, Custom34.ps,
Stand21.ps, and Stand34.ps. The numbers in the file names refer
to the number of patches on the page. The Custom files are
provided to enable you to download measurement patches that
incorporate the current calibration set of the printer. The Standard
files are provided to enable you to download standard
measurement patches that ignore the current calibration set for the
printer.
These files are provided for expert users and should not be used for day-today calibration.
