1 Setting up PostScript 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, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000.

The general steps for installing the software are:

• Install the PostScript printer driver (Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, or

Windows 2000) and corresponding printer description ﬁles.

• Set up the printer driver to communicate with the Fiery X40.

• Install Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and PitStop software on the designated Windows

workstation(s).

• Install the Fiery utilities and the Command WorkStation software.

• Conﬁgure the connection for Fiery Link, ColorWise Pro Tools, and the Command

WorkStation.

• Copy additional ﬁles from the User Software CD as needed. You can download printer drivers and printer ﬁles from the Fiery X40 with the

Installer WebTool (if the site administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery X40). For instructions, see “Using the Installer WebTool” on page 104. Once you download the printer ﬁles, the installation process is identical to installing from the User Software CD.

To set up the Fiery X40 as a PostScript printer, you must install the PostScript 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 X40.

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

9 Setting up PostScript 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 X40 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 X40 Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool ﬁles to the Fiery X40 rather than print directly.

TO PREPARE THE FIERY X40 AND YOUR COMPUTER FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING :

1. Connect the Fiery X40 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 X40 Setup, see the Conﬁguration Guide.

3. If you want to spool files to the Fiery X40, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 10. If you want to print directly to the Fiery X40, 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 X40 printer icon and choose Properties from the File menu.

10 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

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 11, and then return to this procedure. You may need your Windows 95 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.

5. Click Spool Settings.

6. Select either “Spool print jobs so program finishes printing faster” or “Print directly to the printer.”

The selection you make depends on the action you took in step 3 on page 9:

• If you set the Port Timeout in Seconds to 10, you can select either option; however,

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 X40 with the parallel port. To conﬁrm the connection, print a Windows 95 test page.

9. Click the General tab.
