1 Installing Windows software

Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

This chapter describes installing software and setting up printing from a Windows-based computer running Windows 95, W indo ws 3.1x, or W indo ws NT 4.0.

The general steps for installing the Fiery X2 software are:

• Install the Adobe PostScript printer driver (Windows 95 and Windows 3.1x) or

Windows PostScript printer driver (Windows NT 4.0) and PostScript Printer Description ﬁles (PPDs) (for all Windows systems).

• Set up the printer driver to communicate with the Fiery X2.

• Install the Fiery utilities (Fiery Downloader, Fiery Print Calibrator, and

Fiery Spooler) and Fiery Scan plug-in (Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 only).

• Conﬁgure the connection for Fiery Downloader, Fiery Print Calibrator, and Fiery

Scan.

• Conﬁgure the connection for Fiery Spooler.

• Copy additional color reference and application ﬁles from the User Software CD as

needed.

Installing Windows software

The Instalrs folder on the User Software CD contains the following installer folders:

• Calib—Fiery Print Calibrator installer

• Download—Fiery Downloader installer

• PS_drvr—Adobe PostScript printer driver installers for Windows 95 and

Windows 3.1x, and Fiery X2 PPD ﬁles for all supported Windows systems

• Scan—TWAIN module installer, which enables you to use the Fiery Scan plug-in

for Adobe Photoshop

• Spooler—Fiery Spooler installer

2 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

In addition, the User Software CD includes various color ﬁles. These ﬁles must be copied or installed from the CD and placed in the appropriate locations on your hard disk (see “Copying color ﬁles from the User Software CD” on page 42):

• ICM printer proﬁle

• Separation Tables and a monitor settings ﬁle for use with Adobe Photoshop

• PostScript CMYK reference ﬁle

• PostScript PANTONE Coated Color Reference ﬁle

• RGB color reference ﬁles for specifying colors from M icr osoft Word and PowerPoint

Downloading printer ﬁles with the Installer WebTool

Installers for the Fiery X2 printer ﬁles can be downloaded from the Fiery X2 with the Installer WebTool (if the site administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery X2). For instructions, see “Using the Installer WebTool” on page 64.

Once you download the installers, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.

Setting up the Fiery X2 as a PostScript printer

To set up the Fiery X2 as a PostScript printer, you need a PostScript printer driver and the appropriate Fiery X2 PPD ﬁle.

• For Windows 95 or Windows 3.1x, install the appropriate Adobe PostScript printer

driver, included with the Fiery X2 user software. Both drivers are capable of providing access to all Fiery X2 features; in addition, the Adobe PostScript printer driver for Windows 95 supports PostScript 3.

• For Windows NT 4.0 systems, install the printer driver that came with your

Windows system software. This driver may not support all Fiery X2 features.

The following procedures are speciﬁc to each version of Windows.

3 Setting up the Fiery X2 as a PostScript printer

Setting up PostScript printing with Windows 95

You can use the following procedure whether you are installing from the User Software CD or with installer ﬁles downloaded using the Installer WebTool.

OTE

If you have problems setting up the Fiery X2, install another PostScript printer

such as the Apple LaserWriter, and then install the Fiery X2.

Completing the Windows 95 connection

To print from Windows 95 you need to:

• Set up network servers, if any

• Set up the Fiery X2 to accept print jobs from your computer

• Conﬁgure a port on each Windows 95 computer for the network or connection type

For this type of connection: See:

Parallel below IPX/SPX page 10 IPX (Novell) page 12 SMB printing page 13

Completing the Windows 95 parallel port connection

Preparing a parallel port connection for Windows 95 requires speciﬁc BIOS settings on your computer, and speciﬁc port and printer settings for W indo ws 95. In addition, a change to one of the Fiery X2 Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool ﬁles to the Fiery X2 rather than print directly.

3. If you want to spool ﬁles to the Fiery X2, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 10. If you want to print directly to the Fiery X2, 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.

spooling is faster.

• If you set the Port Timeout in Seconds to 5, select “Print directly to the printer.”

7. Select “Disable bi-directional support for this printer” and click OK.

8. Click Apply.

You are now ready to print from your applications to the Fiery X2 with the parallel port. To conﬁrm the connection, print a Windows 95 test page.

After Windows 95 restarts, you can complete the procedure described in “To prepare the printer for parallel port printing:” on page 7.

Completing the Windows 95 IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell) connection

If you are printing through a Novell server, the Novell network and ﬁle server should be set up before you begin. The ﬁle server should be conﬁgured with a print server and print connection for the Fiery X2. For details see your NetWare documentation and the Administrator Guide.

You can also use Fiery Downloader to print directly to the Fiery X2 from Windows 95 with IPX/SPX.

TO SET UP IPX/SPX PRINTING:

1. Open the Windows 95 Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Network icon.

Make sure that IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol and TCP/IP protocol are both listed in the Installed Network Components section.

For instructions, see your Windows 95 documentation.

NOTE: You must enable TCP/IP printing to ensure that all ﬁles required for IPX/SPX

will be installed. You can select it and click Remove after you set up IPX/SPX if you do not need to use the TCP/IP protocol.
