ADMINISTERING THE FIERY CONTROLLER 41
System Updates
System Updates allows you to schedule regular inquiries to an Update Server on the Internet
for available EX700i updates. The EX700i checks automatically for updates by contacting the
Update Server periodically.
System Updates also allows users to obtain updated versions of EX700i user software
(utilities) and install them on client computers that connect to the EX700i. The updated
applications are first downloaded from the Update Server to a partition on the EX700i HDD.
Users access the EX700i over the Internet and download the updated applications onto client
computers and then manually install them.
You can also view and download updates at any time using the Check Now feature from the
Fiery Advanced Controller Interface. Use Check Now to view and manually download
updates that are available for installation (Patches tab) and/or view a list of updates that have
already been installed (History tab).
You can also start Check Now by clicking an update notification in the task bar on the
EX700i monitor.
Access System Updates in the following ways:
• Directly from the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface (if supported)
• From a client computer through WebTools > Configure tab > Launch Configure >
Enter the administrator password > Server> System Update
• From a client computer through Command WorkStation > Server menu > Configure >
Server > System Update
For detailed instructions, see “To schedule System Updates” on page 42.
Make sure to review “Before updating the EX700i” on page 40 before scheduling System
Updates.
