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

2 Installing User Software on a Windows Computer

• PostScript PANTONE Coated Color Reference ﬁle

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

OTE

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). 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 XJ as a PostScript printer

If you are reinstalling the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver, delete any pr evious versions and related ﬁles before installing. Search for and delete all ﬁles named Efxx*.* in the Windows\System folder and the Windows\System\Color folder. See the Adobe README ﬁle included with the printer driver for more information.

Problems with the Fiery utilities on Windows 95 or Windows NT

1. If you are using Windows 95, mak e sur e that IPX/SPX and TCP/IP netw orking protocols are both enabled.

See “Completing the Windows 95 IPX/SPX or IPX (Novell) connection” on page 10.

2. Make sure that the connection is conﬁgured correctly for your site.

To check the current conﬁguration, launch a Fiery utility and choose Open from the File menu. Select the Fiery XJ and click Modify to see current settings. If the settings are incorrect, you can change them in this dialog box.

68 Troubleshooting

On a Mac OS computer

Setting up the Fiery XJ in the Chooser

If auto-setup does not work and you are prompted to select the PPD, select the Fiery XJ ﬁle in your System Folder:Extensions:Printer Descriptions folder.

Select “Fiery XJ DocuColor 40 Color Server v5.0.”

Installing screen fonts

If you experience problems installing the PostScript screen fonts from the User Software CD to the System Folder:Fonts folder, try the following:

1. Quit all applications and close all windows.

2. Create a new folder and name it “Uninstalled Fonts.”

This folder must be located outside of the System Folder.

3. Move fonts that you are not using from the System Folder:Fonts folder to the Uninstalled Fonts folder.

4. Continue to copy fonts from the User Software CD to the System Folder:Fonts folder.

5. Create an alias to the System Folder:Fonts folder and to the Uninstalled Fonts folder.

6. Place both aliases on your desktop.

7. When necessary, use the aliases to open both folders and move fonts between them.

If you have any applications running, you must quit and relaunch them in order to view and use the newly installed fonts.

Alternately, you can try combining fonts from multiple suitcases into a single suitcase.
