Installing user software on a Windows computer
The file structure of the User Software CD has changed slightly since version 1.1. In
addition, the current software release supports SMB printing (also known as Windows
printing or WINS printing), which was not supported with previous software releases. A
new utility, ColorWise Pro Tools, provides all the functionality of Fiery Print Calibrator
and more.
The name of the PostScript Printer description file (PPD), displayed in screens such as the
Printer Properties dialog box, is now “Fiery LX Stylus Pro 5000 v1.3.” The name of the
PPD file is Efme1012.ppd.
Setting up printing with Windows 95/98
The Setup.exe icon for installing the Adobe PostScript printer driver for Windows 95/98 is
located in the English\Instalrs\Ps_Drvr\Win_9x folder on the User Software CD.
Completing the SMB printing connection for Windows 95/98
If you don’t have a Novell network, you can print via SMB printing. Printing by this
method allows you to print from your computer to a particular print connection (Hold,
Print, or Direct) on the RIP Station.
To set up printing to a second or third print connection, you must install a new printer for
each connection and repeat the procedure “To set up SMB printing:” on page 6. If you
install more than one printer, give each a descriptive name during printer driver
installation, such as
Astro-Print
or
Astro-Hold
, so you can easily identify printers.
