(PPD) ﬁle, and set up the printer driver to communicate with the Fiery ZX (these

procedures are speciﬁc to the version of Windows)

• Install the Fiery Downloader (for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 only) and

conﬁgure its connection to the Fiery ZX (page 32)

• Install the Command WorkStation (for Windows NT 4.0 only) and conﬁgure its

connection to the Fiery ZX (page 35)

Downloading installers with the Fiery WebTools

The installers for Windows printer ﬁles that are available on the User Software CD can

also be downloaded from the Fiery ZX using the Fiery WebTools (if the administrator

has enabled Internet access to the server). For instructions on using the

Fiery WebTools to download the printer ﬁles installers, see page 59.

You can use the procedures in this chapter whether you are using the User Software

CD or an installer downloaded with the Fiery WebTools.

Setting up printing with Windows 95

You can print to the Fiery ZX from a Windows 95 workstation over an IPX (Novell)

network, with Windows native printing, or with the parallel port connection. In both

cases you need to install the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver version 4.2.x for

Windows 95 and the Fiery ZX PPD on your computer, and then set up the Fiery ZX

to accept your print jobs.

The procedure for installing the Adobe PostScript printer driver is the same whether

you are installing from the User Software CD or from installer ﬁles you downloaded

with the Fiery WebTools.

Completing the Windows 95 connection

To print from Windows 95 you need to:

• Set up network servers, if any

• Set up the Fiery ZX to accept print jobs from your computer

• Conﬁgure a port on each Windows 95 computer for the network or connection type

Completing the Windows 95 parallel port connection

Preparing a parallel port connection for Windows 95 requires speciﬁc BIOS settings

on your computer, and speciﬁc port and printer settings for Windows 95. In addition,

a change to one of the Fiery ZX Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool

ﬁles to the Fiery ZX rather than print directly.

TO PREPARE THE FIERY ZX AND YOUR COMPUTER

FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING:

1. Connect the Fiery ZX to the parallel port on your computer.

For instructions, see the Conﬁguration Guide.

2. In Network Setup > Port Setup > Parallel Port Setup, set Enable Parallel Port to Yes.

For more information about Fiery ZX Setup, see the Conﬁguration Guide.

3. If you want to spool ﬁles to the Fiery ZX, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 10.

If you want to print directly to the Fiery ZX, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 5.

Setting this option to 10 seconds ensures that spooling is not interrupted due to

timeout.
