31Installation and Service Guide: Color Controller E-46A
Using the E-46A
• Test Page verifies that all components of the E-46A-to-printer interface work. The Test Page is a color file that
resides on the E-46A hard disk drive.
Note: Information regarding Test Page refers to PS Test Page or PCL Test Page. For more information, see
Configuration and Setup, which is part of the user documentation set.
• Server Configuration page provides general information about the hardware and software configuration of the E-
46A, the customer’s current settings for Setup, the current calibration, and the IP address of the E-46A.
The Server Configuration page also contains the Fiery ID that can be used as a default password when you login for
the first time.
Note: Fiery ID is referred to the ID field located under BIOS Setup section of the Server Configuration page.
Printing the Server Configuration page can be helpful during installation, Setup, and service. After installing the E-
46A (including connecting to the network) and before default settings are changed in Run Setup, you can obtain a
record of the defaults by printing the Server Configuration page.
To print the E-46A pages from Fiery QuickTouch
1 On the Fiery QuickTouch Home screen, select Quick Launch > Print (see Figure 12 on page 34).
2 Choose the page that you want to print.
3 Log in to the E-46A as Administrator.
To log on as Administrator, use the administrator’s password set by the site administrator.
To print the E-46A pages from Fiery Ticker
1 At Fiery Ticker screen, click “>>” icon on the upper left corner, and choose Print Pages.
The Print Pages sub-menu displays the list of available E-46A pages.
2 Choose the page that you want to print from the sub-menu.
The E-46A sends the selected page to the printer.
3 If you printed the E-46A Test Page, examine the quality of the Test Page from the printer.
If the Test Page prints, you know the E-46A is functional and the connection between the E-46A and the printer is
working. If the Test Page fails to print, look up printing problems in “Table 4: E-46A error messages and
conditions” on page 117.
When you examine the Test Page, keep in mind the following:
• All color patches should be visible, even though they may be very faint in the 5% and 2% range.
• Each color’s patch set should show uniform gradation from patch to patch as the color lightens from 100% to 0%.
Poor image or color quality may indicate a need to calibrate the system or service the printer. Information on the
Test Page includes the date and time of the last calibration so the Test Page can be kept for future reference. For
more information, look up for printing problems in “Table 4: E-46A error messages and conditions” on page 117, or
see Color Printing, which is part of the user documentation set.
