SYSTEM SOFTWARE INSTALLATION 92
System updates
Advise the network administrator at the customer site that the System Updates feature
available through the Start menu on FACI-enabled systems allows customers to schedule and
accept installation of certain E-42B software updates from a secure site on the Internet. By
default, the feature is configured to display a notification on the monitor (if the FACI option
is present) that software updates are available for the E-42B. You can also check for system
updates via the monitor by choosing Start > All Programs > Fiery > System Updates, and then
clicking Check Now. Depending on how it is configured, System Updates operates manually
or automatically. For more information about how to schedule System Updates, see
Configuration and Setup, which is part of the user documentation set. Microsoft Windows
operating system updates should be obtained from Microsoft directly. Because such updates
are available directly from Microsoft, EFI does not maintain or provide them via the System
Updates feature.
Updating E-42B system and user software
Using the tools System Updates and Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads Site),
you can obtain updates to E-42B System Software and User Software from a secure site on the
Internet (referred to throughout this documentation as the Update Server).
Before updating the E-42B
Keep in the mind the following before updating the E-42B using System Updates or Check
for Product Updates:
• If you reinstall system software onto the E-42B HDD from DVDs, all patches and updates
previously downloaded and installed are deleted and must be reinstalled. You should
obtain the most recent patches from the Update Server immediately after system software
is reinstalled.
•The term FACI refers to the optional Fiery Advanced Controller Interface Kit which
includes a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and enablement mechanism.
• If the E-42B is behind a firewall and unable to access the Internet, the site administrator
can configure a proxy server at the customer’s organization to allow the E-42B to receive
updates (see page 96).
• While updates are being installed, you cannot print to the E-42B. Schedule the automatic
updates when no one plans to print. While updates are being installed, the E-42B may
need to reboot several times.
• To view updates that have already been installed, print the Configuration page or access
Check Now and select the History tab (see “Using Check Now” on page 96). Check Now
is available when you access System Updates directly from a FACI-equipped E-42B or a
client computer using Remote Desktop (see page 98).
