System software installation reminders
When you install system software, keep the following in mind:
•
Fonts
Installing system software deletes all fonts that the customer has installed on the
imagePASS. Only resident fonts are restored during system software installation. You can
use Downloader to reinstall additional fonts.
To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the imagePASS, print the Font
List before you format the hard disk drive, and again after you complete the system
software installation. Any fonts not listed after installation must be reinstalled. For more
information, see
Utilities
, which is part of the user documentation set.
•
Language
Screens for installing system software are always displayed in English, even if the copier is
configured for another language.
•
Compatibility
The latest user software must be installed on all computers that print to the imagePASS.
Using incompatible versions of the system and user software may result in system
problems.
Backing up the system configuration
If you back up the system configuration, you can restore it after you reinstall system software.
When you back up the system configuration, you save a configuration file with imagePASS
settings.
If you cannot create a configuration file, ask the network administrator to archive custom
color profiles, preflight templates, FreeForm masters, custom Paper Catalog entries,
customer-installed fonts, and the Job Log to removable media or a network location.
