INSTALLING USER SOFTWARE 9

INSTALLING USER SOFTWARE

This chapter describes installation of EX700i user software on Windows and Mac OS
computers.

You can install EX700i user software in the following ways:

• From the User Software DVD

• From the EX700i, using the Internet or intranet

• From the EX700i directly, over the network (for the EX700i Print Server only)

If you previously installed any EX700i user software on your computer, the Installer allows
you to uninstall those applications during the process.

Preparing for installation on a Windows computer

Before installing EX700i software on a Windows computer, be sure to complete the
following:

• To use EX700i user software on a Windows computer, the Sun Java file, Java Runtime
Environment (JRE), provided in the Common Utilities folder on the User Software DVD,
must be installed on your computer. If the correct Sun Java file is not installed, the Fiery
User Software Installer installs it automatically before installing the EX700i software.

NOTE: The recommended version of Sun Java JRE is provided on the User Software DVD.

After installation of Sun Java JRE, a Java Web Start shortcut is created on your computer
desktop. The shortcut is not intended for use with EX700i software and can be deleted.

Different versions of Sun Java JRE can be installed on your computer. The EX700i software
automatically finds the correct version, so you do not need to uninstall other versions of Sun
Java JRE required for third-party applications.

To install the EX700i software, make sure that your computer meets the minimum system
requirements. If the latest service pack is not installed, a warning message alerts you to install
it.

For information about system requirements, see Welco me .

Mixed Media

The Mixed Media feature allows you to define the chapter divisions of a job, print ranges of
pages on varying types of media, insert blank media between pages, and insert tab media
containing text labels.

The following guidelines and restrictions apply to Mixed Media settings:

• The Mixed Media dialog box restricts you from specifying settings that conflict with
any media, page size, or finishing settings that have been specified for the job in the
Job Properties dialog box or printer driver.

• When two or more Mixed Media settings are in conflict with each other, the Mixed Media
dialog box highlights the setting names in red, signaling you to resolve the conflict.

• When you specify print options (in the Job Properties dialog box or printer driver) after
specifying Mixed Media settings, certain print options may conflict with the page-specific
Mixed Media settings. You must resolve the conflict by choosing different print options or
removing certain Mixed Media specifications.

• Mixed Media settings affect the use of output color profiles when the “Use media defined
profile” option is selected in Color Setup. For more information, see Color Printing.

• If counters are configured for the digital press, blank media inserted between pages count
as printed pages.

Basic instructions for accessing and using Mixed Media are provided in Command
WorkStation Help. Features specific to the EX700i are described in the following procedures.
