System software
The Fiery X3eTY system software is installed on the HDD at the factory. You must
install system software if a more recent version is required, if you replace the HDD, or if
you discover problems with the current system. To upgrade to a newer version of system
software, you may install all system software over the LAN port or the USB port (see
below) or use a USB flash drive (see page 45).
System software installation reminders
When installing system software, keep in mind the following:
•
Fonts:
Installing system software deletes all fonts that the customer has installed on the
Fiery X3eTY. Only resident fonts are restored during system software installation. You
can use Fiery Downloader to reinstall additional fonts.
To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the Fiery X3eTY, print the
Fonts List before you format the HDD and again after you complete the system
software installation. Any fonts not listed after installation must be reinstalled. For
more information, see
Utilities
on the User Documentation CD.
•
Language:
Screens for installing system software are always displayed in English, even if
the print engine is configured for another language.
•
Compatibility:
The latest user software must be installed onto all computers that print
to the Fiery X3eTY. Using incompatible versions of the system and user software may
result in system problems.
