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 XJ software are:

• Install the Adobe PostScript printer driver and PostScript Printer Description files
(PPDs).

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

• Install Fiery Downloader (Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 only).

• Install the Command WorkStation software on the designated Windows 95
workstation(s).

• Configure the connection for Fiery Downloader and the Command WorkStation.

• 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:

• CWS—Command WorkStation software installer

• Download—Fiery Downloader installer

• Ps_drvr—Adobe PostScript printer driver installers and Fiery XJ PPD files for all
supported Windows systems

In addition, the User Software CD includes various color files. These files can 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

If you operate the Fiery XJ in a copy shop, quick print shop, or service bureau,
you might want to provide copies of the printer driver, PPD file, separation tables, and
relevant documentation to customers. This ensures that jobs they prepare are properly
formatted for printing to the Fiery XJ.

Downloading printer files with the Installer WebTool

Installers for the Fiery XJ printer files can be downloaded from the Fiery XJ with the
Installer W ebTool (if the site administrator has enabled Internet access to the Fiery XJ).

• Set up the Fiery XJ 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 11
IPX (Novell) page 13
SMB printing page 14

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 XJ Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool
files to the Fiery XJ rather than print directly.

7 Setting up the Fiery XJ as a PostScript printer

TO PREPARE THE FIERY XJ AND YOUR COMPUTER FOR PARALLEL

PORT PRINTING :

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

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

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
Compatible, 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 XJ printer icon and choose Properties from the File menu.

3. Click the Details tab, and in the “Print to the following port” menu, select
LPT1: (Printer Port).

OTE: Check this selection carefully. It may read LPT1: (ECP Printer Port), which is

not equivalent to LPT1: (Printer Port).
If this box does not read LPT1: (Printer Port), change the port setting now, as

described in “To prepare the port for parallel port printing:” on page 9, and then
return to this procedure. You may need your Windows 95 system CD.
