• 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.

Quick Start Guide

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.

1-2 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.

3. Specify printing using a Local printer and click Next.

This procedure describes the installation of a local printer. You can modify the connection later, according to your network type.

4. In the dialog box displaying lists of manufacturers and printers, click Have Disk.

The Install From Disk dialog box prompts you for the disk.

5. If you are installing from the CD, type the name of the CD-ROM drive (for example, D:\), and click Browse. Browse to English\Prntdrvr\Ps_drvr\Win_9x._ME.

If you are installing from the ﬁles you downloaded using the Installer WebTool, browse to prntdrvr\Prntdrvr\Ps_drvr\Win_9x_ME.

6. Make sure “Oemsetup.inf” is selected and click OK.
