11-1 Setting up PostScript printing with Windows 9x/Me

Chapter 1:

Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

This chapter describes the procedures for installing software and setting up printing from a computer using a supported version of Windows. For Windows versions supported, see the Quick Start Guide.

The general steps for installing the software are as follows:

Install the PostScript printer driver and corresponding printer driver files, and set up the printer driver to communicate with the Fiery.

Install Fiery utilities.

EX12

For Fiery EX12: Fiery Graphic Arts Package (available as an option), EFI Fiery Mail

 

Port, Fiery Remote Scan, Fiery Downloader, ColorWise Pro Tools, Fiery Printer

Delete Utility, Fiery VDP Resource Manager, and Command WorkStation

EX2000d

For Fiery EX2000d: Fiery Graphic Arts Package (available as an option), EFI Fiery

 

Mail Port, Fiery Downloader, ColorWise Pro Tools, Fiery Printer Delete Utility,

Fiery VDP Resource Manager, and Command WorkStation

Configure the connection for Fiery utilities.

Install Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and PitStop software on the designated Windows computer(s).

Copy additional files from the User Software CD as required.

In addition to using the User Software CD, you can download printer drivers from the Fiery with the Installer WebTool (if the administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery). For instructions, see “Using the Fiery WebTools Installer” on page 3-2. Once you download the printer files, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.

Setting up PostScript printing with Windows 9x/Me

To set up the Fiery as a PostScript printer, you must install the PostScript printer driver for Windows 9x/Me and the corresponding printer description files. You must also configure either a parallel connection for printing directly or a network connection for printing over the network.

11-2 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

If you are printing using SMB (Server Message Block), you can connect to the Fiery and install the printer drivers in a single procedure. For more information, see “Setting up SMB printing with Windows 9x/Me” on page 1-12.

Installing the PostScript printer driver for Windows 9x/Me

The following procedure describes installing the printer driver from the User Software CD or from the Installer WebTool. Subsequent procedures describe setting up the print connection.

NOTE: The following procedures use Windows 98 illustrations; Windows 95 and Windows Me differences are noted.

TO INSTALL THE POSTSCRIPT PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 9X/ME

1.Click Start, choose Settings, and then choose Printers.

2.In the Printers window, double-click the Add Printer icon and click Next.

Setting up SMB printing with Windows 9x/Me

SMB printing (also known as Windows or WINS printing) allows you to install the PostScript printer driver and printer description files on your computer from the Fiery using Point and Print, and print to a particular connection (Hold, Print, or Direct). To set up SMB printing, you must have the TCP/IP protocol and Client for Microsoft Networks installed.

Each connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) requires a new printer driver and printer description file. Repeat the procedure “To set up SMB printing on Windows 9x/Me” on page 1-12. If you install more than one printer, give each a descriptive name during printer driver installation, such as Aero-Print or Aero-Hold, so you can easily identify printers.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
