Installing the Fiery software
for Windows and Macintosh
13
The User Software CD includes software installers for Fiery Link. Fiery
utility software is supported on Windows 95/98, Windows 2000,
Windows NT 4.0 and Macintosh and must be separately installed on
each user workstation.
Fiery Link is supported only over TCP/IP.
Because the server is part of the printer unit, most references in this chapter
are simply to the printer.
Installing the Fiery Link software
Before you begin the installation for Fiery Link, determine the following:
• The location of the utility on the hard disk. By default, the installer
places Fiery Link in the Programs\Fiery folder.
• The name of the utility folder in the Windows\Start Menu\ Programs
folder. By default, the installer names the folder Fiery.
1. Insert the User Software CD in your CD-ROM drive. Open the
CD-ROM drive icon.
2. Double-click Fiery Link and the Setup.exe file.
3. Follow the instructions in the Setup dialog boxes to complete
installation.

Using the software for the first time
Before you can use the newly installed software, configure the
connection to the printer.
Configuring a connection for Fiery Link for Windows and Macintosh OS
You can use Fiery Link to monitor the status of Fiery servers and view
information about the print jobs sent to them.
When you select the Edit Fiery List button, all Fiery servers on the
local subnet are displayed in the Available Fierys list in the My Fiery
List dialog box. You can specify which printer servers to connect to and
monitor from this dialog box. If the printer is not in your local subnet,
you can use Fiery Link options to manually configure a connection, or
you can perform an advanced search to locate and connect to printer
servers anywhere on the network. The following procedures describe
locating and connecting to a Printer server using manual and
advanced search methods.
Fiery Link is supported only over TCP/IP.
