New features and updated information are organized based on the manual in the original
documentation set in which it would have appeared. The documentation set included:
Getting Started, User Guide, Administrator Guide, and Color Printing Guide.
This section of the addendum updates areas of the Getting Started. Changes occurred in
almost every chapter, including "Introduction," "Installing user software on a Windows
computer," "Installing software on a Mac OS computer," and "Fiery WebTools."
The main changes in this chapter are the system requirements and the operating systems
supported.

Operating systems

The new version of software supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and
MacOS. Windows 3.1x and Windows NT 3.51 are no longer supported.
The procedures for setting up printing with Windows 98 and installing utilities on
Windows 98 computers are the same as the procedures described for Windows 95 in the
Getting Started. Any significant differences are described in the Getting Started section of
this addendum.
