Installing system software using a USB flash drive

To install system software using a USB flash drive attached to the Fiery X3e TY, you need

the following:

USB 2.0 flash drive, 2GB minimum capacity and a data transfer LED. See USB flash

drive support.

USB extension cable [provided; optional]

Windows computer with:

Intel x86-compatible microprocessor

CD-ROM drive, built in or attached

Support for USB 2.0

(USB 1.1 may work but very slowly)

System Software CDs (2) USB Flash Tool CD

USB flash drive support

EFI has tested and validated a selection of USB flash drives for use with the Fiery X3e

TY. For the most current list of validated drives, contact your authorized service/support

center.

When purchasing a USB flash drive, make sure that the drive meets the following

industry-standard specifications:

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified for fast data transfer

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified (backwards compatible with all USB 1.1 ports)

Compatible with Windows XP and Linux

USB Mass Storage Class Device

High-performance, non-volatile storage with low power consumption

If the host computer is limited to specific read and write speeds, a faster flash drive does

not necessarily deliver higher performance. For example, using a Hi-Speed drive on a

computer that supports only the slower USB speeds does not yield faster transfers. In

addition, you must properly configure the host computer to achieve the transfer rates

supported by faster flash drives.

N

OTE

:

Some manufacturers have disabled the removable media attribute in certainmodels of USB flash drives. If this is the case, the drive is not supported by EFI.

Printing Fiery X3e TY pages

Printing Fiery X3e TY pagesThe Control Panel allows you to print special pages that are included in the Fiery X3e TY

system software. These pages reside on the Fiery X3e TY HDD and include the Test

Page, Configuration page, Job Log, Control Panel Map, and Font List.

Printing the Configuration page

The Configuration page lists all the settings in effect from the current Setup. After you

have finished running Setup, print a Configuration page to confirm your settings. If the

Fiery X3e TY is rebooting, allow the Fiery X3e TY to reboot and return to Idle before

printing a Configuration page.

Before you perform any service procedure, you should print the Fiery X3e TY

Configuration page (if possible) so that you are prepared to return the settings to their

former configurations, if necessary.

After the connection to the network is made, the site administrator can customize Setup

options according to the network and user environment. Using the Configuration page as

a guide can help speed up this process. For more information, see Configuration and Setup

on the User Documentation CD.

Printing the Test Page

Before connecting the Fiery X3e TY to the network, print the Test Page. The Test Page is

a file that resides in the Fiery X3e TY. Output verifies that the Fiery X3e TY is functional
