How To Install Fiery System Software
In my office we do our share of high end printing. We have Hp color lasers, Xerox Phaser solid ink printers, HP designjet plotters, professional artists, Adobe suites and repro houses on speed dial. I thought we kinda sorta knew what was going on, but now that we are shopping for a color photocopier (which would definitely be at the bottom of our expected quality scale), we are starting to hear about 'Fiery' and how it's the greatest thing toast, and I just have no idea what this is. I can read any number of web sites that will basically tell me that it's a Big Box of Wonderflonium that will make Everything Better. But very little on what it actually *is* and what it does.
Nastavlenie po svyazi vs rf cable. Fiery software reinstall - how? I have a EXP250 running a Docucolor 240 that I want to try a clean install of software on. I have EFI Fiery System Software v1.1 and also a unopened disk. To reload the system software you have to change 2 dip switches to enable the service mode.(opposite side than normal mode) then you connect the laptop with a crossover cable,reboot the Fiery and insert the system software CD. It should recognise the Fiery controller. (You don’t need an IP address).
Their appears to be a server, and drivers and some software, and sometimes something added to a physical printer. Does it support our current printers? Work with Adobe? A pointer to a nuts and bolts, just the facts description would be really appreciated. I have not heard that name since my days at Kinko's and CopyMax. Like Bill said, it is an RIP (Raste Imaging Processor) system.
From a user perspective, it sent all of the jobs to a queue that can manage the print jobs. It was not OS-dependent (It worked with the Macs and PC's we had at the time) and it had a lot of functionality, although most of us were not allowed to do anything with it, since screwing it up meant a call to Xerox and the unit being down for a couple of days. I can say Yes, it will work with Adobe and PS files. As far as getting you a nuts and bolts guide, I had to leave them at the businesses (they were paper, no digital copies) I did some research, but could not find much on Fiery for HP.
I think you may have to get something from one of the service techs for use and configuration (I had to do that for my Canon MFP's due to Canon keeping a tight lid on everything but sales documents) I wish I had more to give you, but it seems lile they want to keep the documents pretty close. Most of the techs we dealt with were from Xerox who had the training, maybe an HP tech could get you something to give you a better idea of how to use it (Bribing with lunch helps. I have gotten a lot of helpful info from our Canon guy by paying for his lunch when he was here installing our software. Hi I have worked with Fiery Controllers like IC-406 in the past. This is the reload routine for a Fiery IC-406, but yours is probably similar.
