		Installing the Fiery software
		for Windows and Macintosh

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.

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.
