1 Setting up PostScript and/or PCL printing with Windows 95/98

Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

This chapter describes installing software and setting up printing from a Windows-based computer running Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0.

The general steps for installing the software are:

• Install the PostScript printer driver or PCL printer driver (Windows 95/98 and

Windows NT 4.0) and corresponding printer driver ﬁles

• Set up the printer driver to communicate with the Fiery

• Install the Command WorkStation software

• Install the Fiery utilities and the Fiery Scan plug-in

• Conﬁgure the connection for Fiery Link, Fiery Downloader, ColorWise Pro Tools,

Fiery Scan, and the Command WorkStation

• Copy additional ﬁles from the User Software CD, as needed

In addition to using the User Software CD, you can download printer drivers and the Fiery Link installer from the Fiery with the Installer WebTool (if the site administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery). For instructions, see “Using the Installer WebTool” on page 102. Once you download the printer ﬁles, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.

Setting up PostScript and/or PCL printing with Windows 95/98

To set up the Fiery as a PostScript or PCL printer, you must install the PostScript or PCL printer driver for Windows 95/98 and its corresponding printer description ﬁles. You must also conﬁgure a particular type of print connection between the workstation and the Fiery. If you are printing over a network, you will need to conﬁgure a network connection; if you are printing directly to the printer you will need to conﬁgure a parallel port connection.

2 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

The procedure below describes installing the printer drivers from the User Software CD or from the Installer WebTool. The procedures after that describe setting up the print connection.

If you are printing using SMB (Server Message Block) you can connect to the Fiery and install the printer drivers in a single procedure. To conﬁgure the Fiery for SMB printing, see “Setting up SMB printing on Windows 95/98” on page 19.

9 Setting up PostScript and/or PCL printing with Windows 95/98

Completing the Windows 95/98 connection

To print from Windows 95/98 you need to:

• Set up network servers, if any

• Set up the Fiery to accept print jobs from your computer

• Conﬁgure a port on each Windows computer for the network

Completing the Windows 95/98 parallel port connection

Preparing a parallel port connection for Windows 95/98 requires speciﬁc BIOS settings on your computer, and speciﬁc port and printer settings for Windows 95/98. In addition, a change to one of the Fiery Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool ﬁles to the Fiery rather than print directly.

TO PREPARE THE FIERY AND YOUR COMPUTER FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING:

1. Connect the Fiery to the parallel port on your computer.

For instructions, see the Conﬁguration Guide.

2. In Network Setup>Port Setup>Parallel Port Setup, set Enable Parallel Port to Yes.

For more information about Fiery Setup, see the Conﬁguration Guide.

10 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

3. If you want to spool ﬁles to the Fiery, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 10. If you want to print directly to the Fiery, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 5.

Setting this option to 10 seconds ensures that spooling is not interrupted due to timeout.

4. In your computer’s BIOS settings, set Parallel Port Mode to ECP.

To access the BIOS settings, restart the computer and press the key indicated on your monitor as soon as the computer starts up. You may have to scroll through several screens to reach the parallel port settings. After setting the Parallel Port Mode to ECP, save your changed setting and exit.

TO PREPARE THE PRINTER FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Printers.

2. Click the Fiery printer icon and choose Properties from the File menu.

3. Click the Details tab, and in the “Print to the following port” menu, select LPT 1: (ECP Printer Port).

OTE: Check this selection carefully. It may read LPT 1: (Printer Port), which is not

equivalent to LPT 1: (ECP Printer Port).

If this box does not read LPT 1: (ECP Printer Port), change the port setting now, as described in “To prepare the port for parallel port printing” on page 12, and then return to this procedure. You may need your Windows 95/98 system CD.

4. If you changed the selection in the “Print to the following port” menu, click Apply.

A Warning dialog box may appear, stating that fonts you downloaded to the previously selected port may be lost; click OK.
