Fiery E-41 - Updating E-41 System and User Software; Before Updating the

SYSTEM AND USER SOFTWARE 111
Updating E-41 system and user software
Using the tools System Updates and Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads Site),
you can obtain updates to E-41 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-41
Keep in the mind the following before updating the E-41 using System Updates or Check for
Product Updates:
• If you reinstall system software onto the E-41 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-41 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-41 to receive updates
(see page 115).
• While updates are being installed, you cannot print to the E-41. Schedule the automatic
updates when no one plans to print. While updates are being installed, the E-41 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 116). Check
Now is available when you access System Updates directly from a FACI-equipped E-41 or
a client computer using Remote Desktop (see page 117).
• The list that displays when you access Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads
Site) may include:
– Updates that are unavailable through System Updates and/or are not approved for all
users.
– Updates that may already be installed on some E-41 print servers. To help you choose
the updates to download, compare the list displayed with the E-41 print server’s
Configuration Page > Updates log.
NOTE: Check Now is not available when you access System Updates from Command
WorkStation or WebTools.
