Installing System Software
This chapter provides information about how to install system software.
The imagePRESS Server is shipped with system software pre-installed on the hard disk drives (HDD).
A reinstallation of the system software DVDs will be required if:
• You have replaced the hard disk drive.
• Restoring the system from backup images did not solve the problem you are troubleshooting.
When you reinstall from the System Software DVDs
The following issues apply to the scenario where you reinstall the system from the System Software DVDs.
• Jobs: When you reinstall system software, all jobs in all print queues and all jobs archived locally on the imagePRESS Server
hard disk are deleted. To save jobs, ask the site administrator to save them to removable media or a network location, so
they can be re-imported to the imagePRESS Server after system software installation. For more information, see Command
WorkStation Help.
• Job Log: When you reinstall system software, the list of jobs in the Job Log and any jobs in the queues are deleted. The
site administrator can use Command WorkStation to save a current list of jobs (not the actual jobs) from the Job Log.
• Fonts: When you reinstall system software, all fonts on the hard disk drives are deleted. Resident fonts are reinstalled when
you reinstall system software. Any customer-supplied fonts must be reinstalled by the site administrator (see Command
WorkStation Help).
To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the imagePRESS Server, print the Font List before you reinstall
the system software and again after you complete the system software installation. Any fonts not listed after installation will
need to be reinstalled. For more information about managing fonts, see Command WorkStation Help.
• User software: The imagePRESS Server ships with preinstalled user software on the hard disk drives. During system
software reinstallation, you are prompted to reinstall user software (including Command WorkStation) using the User
Software DVD.
• Server Configuration page: Before you reinstall a new version of system software, print the Server Configuration page.
The Server Configuration page provides a record of the customer's current Setup configurations.
• Backing up and restoring the configuration: All Setup configurations, as well as all custom files and templates stored on
the hard disk drives, are deleted when you reinstall system software. Always back up the current imagePRESS Server
configuration before you reinstall system software. After the installation is completed, be sure to restore the configuration
that you saved earlier. For instructions, please
• Compatibility: After you upgrade system software, remind the site administrator to upgrade user software on all computers
connected to the imagePRESS Server. Using old user software with new system software may negatively affect the system.
Installing system software
Install both system software DVDs when you replace a hard disk drive or upgrade to the latest version of the imagePRESS Server
software. You can install software from the following disks:
• System Software DVD 1 - Fiery System Software for the imagePRESS Server.
• System Software DVD 2 and 3 - Windows operating system.
• User Software DVD 4 - Fiery User Software for installation on the imagePRESS Server and client computers.
