CHAPTER 4 SERVICE PROCEDURE

5 System software service
The iR-M2 ships with system software installed on the HDD. System software is also
provided on a CD that can be used to update the system software to a newer version or to
reinstall the current version of the system software.
This section describes how to install system software from the system software CD (see
page 4-56).
Keep in mind the following when installing system software:
•
Job Log
The list of jobs in the Job Log and any jobs in the queues are deleted. The network ad-
ministrator can use Fiery Spooler to save a current list of jobs (not the actual jobs) from
the Job Log.
•
Fonts
All fonts on the HDD are deleted when you install system software. Resident fonts are
reinstalled when you reinstall system software. Any customer-supplied fonts will need
to be reinstalled by the network administrator using Fiery Downloader.
To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the iR-M2, print the Font List
before you install the system software and again after you complete the system soft-
ware installation. Any fonts not listed after installation will need to be reinstalled.
For more information, see the Job Management Guide.
•
Configuration
Make sure to print a Configuration page before installing any system software (see
page 3-5 for instructions). The Setup configuration will be lost when you install system
software.
•
Custom simulations
Custom simulations and custom outputs saved on the DD are deleted when you install
system software. Save a copy of any custom simulations before installing software so
they can be restored later.
•
Compatibility
When upgrading the system software, make sure the latest user software is installed
onto all computers that print to the iR-M2. Using incompatible versions of the system
and user software may result in system problems.
