Installing System Software
•
FreeForm masters:
All FreeForm master jobs are deleted when you install system software. To save FreeForm master
jobs, ask the site administrator to archive them to a location on the network, so that the jobs can be imported back into
the Fiery ES queue after system software installation. For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.
•
Direct Connect Mode:
If the printer’s network port is connected to the Fiery ES (Direct Connect Mode), the printer
will obtain the IP address from the Fiery ES. In this case, after system software installation is complete, you have to
wait at least 20 minutes to allow the Fiery ES to boot so that the Fiery menu can be displayed on the printer
touch panel.
