The Fiery proServer ships with the Fiery XF server and client preinstalled. You can install the
Fiery XF client on other computers and log on to the Fiery XF server that is installed on the

Fiery XF starts automatically whenever you power on the Fiery proServer. If you exit Fiery XF
for any reason, you can restart the program by double-clicking the Fiery XF client program
icon on the desktop.
Media profiles
Media profiles are required in order to print. They describe the color reproduction properties
of the printer for a specific media. The color reproduction properties are defined by the
combination of media type, ink type, and print conditions. You can download the latest
media profiles through Fiery XF Control.
