The Fiery X3e System Software CD includes system software which can be installed over 
the parallel port of the Fiery X3e using a computer with Windows 98/Me or over the 
network port using a computer with Windows 2000/XP. The Fiery X3e system software 
is installed on the HDD at the factory. You will need to install system software if a more 
recent version is required, you replace the HDD, or if you discover problems with the 
current system.

When installing system software, consider the following:

•

—Installing system software deletes all fonts that the customer has installed on 

the Fiery X3e. Only resident fonts are restored during system software installation. You 
can use Fiery Downloader to reinstall additional fonts.

To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the Fiery X3e, print the 
Fonts List before you format the HDD and again after you complete the system 
software installation. Any fonts not listed after installation must be reinstalled. For 
more information, see the Printing Guide.

•

—Screens for installing system software are always displayed in English, 

even if the copier is configured for another language.

•

—The latest user software must be installed onto all computers that print 

to the Fiery X3e. Using incompatible versions of the system and user software may 
result in system problems.

For the parallel port procedure, see page 32. For the network port procedure, see page 27.

To perform the system software installation procedure, you are instructed to flip the 
service switches before and after you install the system software. To access the service 
switches and reassemble the Fiery X3e, use the following procedure.
