Updating E-8100 system and user software
Using the tools
System Updates
and
Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads Site)
,
you can obtain updates to E-8100 System Software and User Software from a secure site on
the Internet (referred to throughout this documentation as the Update Server).
Before updating the E-8100
Keep in the mind the following before updating the E-8100 using System Updates or Check
for Product Updates:
• If you reinstall system software onto the E-8100 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.
• The term
FACI
refers to the optional Fiery Advanced Controller Interface Kit which
includes a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and enablement mechanism.
• If the E-8100 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 E-8100 to receive
updates (see
).
• While updates are being installed, you cannot print to the E-8100. Schedule the automatic
updates when no one plans to print. While updates are being installed, the E-8100 may
need to reboot several times.
• To view updates that have already been installed, print the Configuration page or access
Check Now
and select the History tab (see
on page 111). Check
Now is available when you access System Updates directly from a FACI-equipped E-8100
or a client computer using Remote Desktop (see
• The list that displays when you access Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads
Site) may include:

Updates that may already be installed on some E-8100 print servers. To help you
choose the updates to download, compare the list displayed with the E-8100 print
server’s Configuration Page > Updates log.
