This chapter describes how to install system and user software on the E-8100 HDD. It also
details backing up and restoring Setup configuration settings (
) and updating system
and user software (
Overview
The E-8100 ships with pre-installed system software on the HDD (hard disk drive). If you
must reinstall system software in the future (for example, when you replace the HDD, remedy
an error condition, or change the language), use the System Software DVDs included in the
media pack.
Before you install system software
When installing software, keep in mind the following:
•
Jobs
—All jobs in all print queues and all jobs archived locally on the E-8100 HDD are
deleted when you install system and user software. To save jobs, ask the network
administrator to archive them to a CD or location on the network, so that the jobs can be
imported back into the E-8100 queue after software installation. For more information,
see Command WorkStation Help.
N
OTE
:
Notify the network administrator at the customer site that some archived jobs may no
longer print after you install an updated version of system and user software.
•
Job Log
—The list of jobs in the Job Log and any jobs in the queues are deleted when you
install system and user software. The network administrator can use Command
WorkStation to save a current list of jobs (not the actual jobs) from the Job Log.
•
Fonts
—All fonts on the HDD are deleted when you install system and user
software. Resident fonts are reinstalled when you reinstall system and user software.
Any customer-supplied fonts must be reinstalled by the network administrator
using Command WorkStation.
To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the E-8100, print the Font List
before you install the software and again after you complete the software installation. Any
fonts not listed after installation must be reinstalled. For more information, see Command
WorkStation Help.
•
Backing-up/Restoring Setup configuration
—The existing Setup configuration (typically
configured by the customer; see
Configuration and Setup
) is deleted when you install
system and user software. The Setup configuration can be backed-up before installing
system software and saved to a file on a client computer, then restored to the E-8100 after
system software reinstallation (see
). Print a Configuration page (see
before you install system and user software in order to preserve a record of the Setup
configuration settings.
