About this Guide
This guide describes the initial printer driver installation. For
more detailed information, refer to the EFI User Software
Installation Guide and EFI Configuration Guide provided on
the User Documentation CD (CD3).
The general steps for installing the software are as follows:
• Install the PostScript printer driver or PCL printer driver
and corresponding printer driver files.
• Set up the printer driver to communicate with the Fiery.
• Install Fiery utilities and user software.
Configure Fiery utilities and user software.
You must also configure either a local connection for printing
directly to your printer or a network connection for printing over
a network.
NOTE
A full set of user documentation, where procedures are
described in detail, is provided on the User Documentation
CD (CD3).

Selecting a printer driver in Windows
Select a driver appropriate for your application.
Fiery PostScript printer driver
Use this driver for high-resolution color graphics applications
and pre-press graphic proofing. This driver also includes
advanced features which may only be used by a network system
administrator.
PCL printer driver
PCL and PCL6 printer drivers are included mainly for
compatibility with legacy systems.
You can install both drivers and use either one depending on
your application. However, each driver must be installed
individually.
1 Install the Ferrite Core
In order to reduce electromagnetic interference—”noise” that
interferes with TVs or other appliances—you must place the
enclosed ferrite core on the network cable connected to your
printer. Here is how to do it:
1. Disconnect the network cable from the printer, if necessary.
2. Loop the cable if necessary to keep the ferrite core in place.
3. Place the open core about 1 inch from the cable connector
on the printer end.
4. Press the two halves of the core together until they click
shut.
NOTE
For the most recent printer driver version, see our web site:
http://my.okidata.com
CAUTION!
Do not connect this product to an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS). For further information please contact Oki
Data at 1-800-OKIDATA or www.okidata.com.
Be sure to use the 15A AC power cord supplied with the
printer. Use of a power cord NOT supplied with this
printer, or an extension cord, may result in overheating,
and could be a safety hazard.
IMPORTANT!
This safeguard is an FCC requirement.
