Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) system software service
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1)
system software service
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) system software resides on the HDD and is backed up the
first time you power on the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) from the factory. If necessary,
you can retrieve the backup using the Restore Backup function in the Service menu
(see page 4-46). This will restore system software to the default configuration.
System software is also provided on CD. Each language-specific System Software CD can
be used to upgrade the system software version on the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) or
to reinstall the current version of the system software.
This section describes how to retrieve a backup of the system software (see page 4-46)
and how to install system software from the CD (see page 4-47).
Keep in mind the following when installing system software from a CD or when
restoring the backup system:
•
Job Log
—The list of jobs in the Job Log and any jobs in the queues are deleted. The
network administrator can use Fiery Spooler to save a current list of jobs (not the
actual jobs) from the Job Log.
•
Fonts
—All fonts installed on the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) HDD are deleted.
Resident fonts are restored during system software installation. If any additional fonts
were downloaded to the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1), the network administrator can
reinstall the fonts using Fiery Downloader.
To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1), print the Font List before you install or restore the
system software and again after you complete the system software installation. Any
fonts
not listed
after installation will need to be reinstalled. See the
Job Management
Guide

Compatibility
—When upgrading the system software make sure the latest user
software is installed onto all computers that print to the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1).
Using incompatible versions of the system and user software may result in system
problems.
