Updating system and user software
Using the tools System Updates and Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads Site),
you can obtain updates to EX700i System Software and User Software from a secure site on
the Internet (referred to throughout this documentation as the Update Server).
Before updating the EX700i
Keep in the mind the following before updating the EX700i using System Updates or Check
for Product Updates:
• If you reinstall system software onto the EX700i HDD from DVDs, all patches and
updates previously downloaded and installed are deleted and must be reinstalled. You
should obtain the most recent patches from the Update Server immediately after system
software is reinstalled.
• If the EX700i is behind a firewall and unable to access the Internet, the site administrator
can configure a proxy server at the customer’s organization to allow the EX700i to receive
updates (see
page 44 ).
• While updates are being installed, you cannot print to the EX700i. Schedule the
automatic updates when no one plans to print. While updates are being installed, the
EX700i may need to reboot several times.
• To view updates that have already been installed, print the Configuration page or access
Check Now and click the History tab (see “Using Check Now” on page 44). Check Now
is available when you access System Updates directly from the Fiery Advanced Controller
Interface.
• The list that displays when you access Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads
Site) may include:
– Updates that are unavailable through System Updates and/or are not approved for all
users.
– Updates that may already be installed on some EX700i print servers. To help you
choose the updates to download, compare the list displayed with the EX700i print
server’s Configuration Page > Updates log.
