System Updates

User Addendum

System Updates is a print server service that keeps the system software on your print server up-to-date with the latest Microsoft security updates. It runs in the background on

the print server and automatically checks for updates by contacting an update server periodically (every 24 hours by default) through the Internet. If one or more updates are available, System Updates alerts you to download and install the updates, or downloads and installs updates automatically without any user interaction. You can turn off automatic checking and use System Updates to check for and install updates manually at any time.

System Updates runs on print servers running Microsoft Windows XPe.

Installing the System Updates utility

If the System Updates utility is not already installed as part of your system software, install it by downloading the System Updates patch file to the print server. The patch file is named

1-H23O1.ps.

TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM UPDATES UTILITY

1.Log into the print server as an administrator using the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface (FACI), if available, or Remote Desktop, or log in as an administrator on a remote computer that has Command WorkStation® installed and can access the print server.

2.Start Command WorkStation.

3.Choose File>Import>Job.

4.Browse to the location of the System Updates patch file, double-click the file, and then select the Direct connection as the logical printer.

5.Click Import.

The file is downloaded to the Direct connection and processed as a print job, but no output is printed.

6.Reboot the print server.

7.Print a Configuration page and verify that the Update Information section includes the name of the System Updates patch.

Configuring the System Updates utility

To configure System Updates, you can specify proxy server settings and select which method of automatic checking to use (if any).

Configure System Updates from the FACI (if available) or Remote Desktop, or from a web browser locally or remotely.

Configuring proxy settings from the FACI or Remote Desktop

If your print server connects to the Internet through a proxy server, you must specify the information needed to access the proxy server. If not, System Updates uses the Internet Explorer network settings.

NOTE: System Updates uses the SOAP protocol and port 80 to connect to the Internet.

TO SPECIFY PROXY SETTINGS IN SYSTEM UPDATES FROM THE FACI OR REMOTE DESKTOP

1.From the Start menu, choose Programs>Fiery>System Updates.

The System Updates Preferences dialog box appears.

NOTE: You can also access this dialog box by clicking the System Updates icon in the Windows taskbar and choosing Preferences. This icon is visible only when new updates are available for installation or when automatic checking for updates is disabled.

2.Click Proxy Settings.

The System Updates Proxy Settings dialog box appears.

3.Select Use Proxy and type the IP address of the proxy server.

4.If the proxy server does not use the default port, type the port number to use.

5.If a user name and password are required to access the proxy server, type your user name and password.

6.Click OK, and then click OK again.

Configuring automatic checking from the FACI or Remote Desktop

You can configure System Updates to check for updates in several ways:

•Notify when updates are available: When updates are available, a pop-up message appears next to the System Updates icon in the Windows taskbar on the FACI (or Remote Desktop). Clicking the pop-up opens the System Updates window. This option requires that you download and install the updates manually.
