Introduction
This document includes information about servicing the imagePRESS Server P400 V1.0.
In this document, imagePRESS Server P400 V1.0 is referred to as the “imagePRESS Server.”
About the imagePRESS Server
The imagePRESS Server embeds computer connectivity and highly efficient PostScript and PCL printing capacity into the
imagePRESS V900/V800/V700 Series.
With the imagePRESS Server, customers can use the printer as a PostScript and PCL printer, scanner, and it provides efficient
image processing and printing controls. Once it is connected to the printer through a network, customers can print to the
imagePRESS Server from supported client computers on the network (Windows or Mac, or a UNIX workstation running TCP/IP).
The imagePRESS Server ships with system software pre-installed so that customers can use the imagePRESS Server
immediately. However, as part of servicing the imagePRESS Server, you may need to reinstall system software.

IMPORTANT:
The IMPORTANT indicates operational requirements and restrictions. To operate the imagePRESS Server correctly and
avoid damage to the imagePRESS Server or other property, always pay attention to IMPORTANT letter and messages.
How the imagePRESS Server operates
When a customer prints, the motherboard and printer interface board process image data. The printer interface board is a custom
board and allows the imagePRESS Server to communicate with the printer. The CPU controls the transfer of image data to and
from the motherboard and runs the PostScript interpreter. DIMM holds image data during printing.
Using compression technology, the interpreter rasterizes the page description file and compresses the image pattern into memory.
The interpreter outputs the compressed raster data through the image frame buffer memory to the printer interface board. The
raster data is sent to the printer, which then renders the image on paper at maximum speed.
Before you service the imagePRESS Server
Before you service the imagePRESS Server, it is strongly recommended that you make sure that you have the required tools
(see “Tools you will need” on page 3) and carefully review all precautions (see “Precautions” on page 3).
Also, keep in mind that the most common cause of a hardware problem is a faulty or loose connection. Before you replace an
expensive component, check internal and external connections.
Tools you will need
To install or service the imagePRESS Server, you will need the following tools and parts:
• ESD wrist grounding strap and antistatic mat
• Flathead screwdriver
• #0, #1, and #2 Phillips head screwdrivers
• Needlenose pliers
•imagePRESS Server documentation, including the customer media pack and any related service bulletins
IMPORTANT:
Avoid touching magnetic tools to storage device such as hard disk drives. Contact between magnetic tools and magnetic
storage device may result in data corruption.
Precautions
This section includes information about how to safely operate and service the imagePRESS Server and how to avoid
damage to imagePRESS Server components.

For more information about using Command WorkStation, see Fiery Command WorkStation Help.
■ About Configure
You can access Configure from Command WorkStation or WebTools. For information about using Configure, see Fiery Command

Access Configure from an Internet browser
1. Start a web browser and access the imagePRESS Server by entering the server name or IP address of the imagePRESS
Server.
NOTE:
As a security measure, WebTools is designed to work only over Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). By default,
WebTools uses a self-signed certificate created by the Fiery. This causes the web browser to display a untrusted certificate
message while accessing WebTools. It is safe to ignore this message and proceed to access WebTools.
2. In WebTools, click the Configure tab on the left side.
3. Log on with Administrator privileges.
Access Configure from Command WorkStation
1. In Command WorkStation, as Administrator, do one of the following:
• In the Server menu tab, click Configure.
• From the SERVERS list, right-click the imagePRESS Server and select Configure.
• In the Device Center > General Info tab, click Configure in the lower right corner.
