User software updates:
For optimal performance, maintain current versions of the user
software on every network computer used to print to the E-42. User software may be
installed directly on client computers equipped with a DVD drive, or over a network via
the Fiery User Software Installer that resides on the E-42.
Installing system software
E-42 system software is provided on the following media:
• System Software DVDs contain the Windows operating system software and
the Fiery Server software.
• User Software DVD contains the E-42 user software.
Install system software in the following cases:
• The hard disk drive or motherboard is replaced.
• The E-42 must be updated to a more recent version of the system software.
System software installation takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (not including the
time required to configure Setup).
