Installing User Software on a Windows Computer
Completing the Windows 98/Me printer connection
To print from Windows 98/Me, you should already have set up network servers, if any,
and set up the Fiery X3e to accept print jobs from your computer.
To complete the Windows 98/Me connection, you must configure a connection on
each Windows computer for the network.
Completing the Windows 98/Me parallel port connection
Preparing a parallel port connection for Windows 98/Me requires specific BIOS
settings on your computer, and specific port and printer settings for Windows 9x/Me.
In addition, the administrator may need to change the parallel port timeout in Fiery
Setup if you choose to spool files to the Fiery X3e, rather than print directly.
