Colorpass System Software Service - Canon ColorPASS-Z20e Service Manual

6 ColorPASS System Software Service

ColorPASS system software resides on the HDD and is backed up the first time you
power on the ColorPASS from the factory. If necessary, you can retrieve the backup using
the Restore Backup function in the Service menu (see page 4-44). This will restore system
software to the default configuration.
System software is also provided on CD. Each language-specific System Software CD
can be used to upgrade the system software version on the ColorPASS or to reinstall the cur-
rent version of the system software.
This section describes how to retrieve a backup of the system software (see page 4-44)
and how to install system software from the CD (see page 4-46).
Keep in mind the following when installing system software from a CD or when restoring
the backup system:
• Job Log—The list of jobs in the Job Log and any jobs in the queues are deleted. The
network administrator can use Fiery Spooler to save a current list of jobs (not the actual
jobs) from the Job Log.
• Fonts—All fonts installed on the ColorPASS HDD are deleted. Resident fonts are re-
stored during system software installation. If any additional fonts were downloaded to
the ColorPASS, the network administrator can reinstall the fonts using Fiery
Downloader.
To determine which additional fonts were downloaded to the ColorPASS, print the Font
List before you install or restore the system software and again after you complete the
system software installation. Any fonts not listed after installation will need to be rein-
stalled. See the Job Management Guide for more information.
• Configuration—When upgrading the system software make sure to print a Configura-
tion page before loading any software. The setup configuration of the ColorPASS will
be lost during installation of system software.
• Custom simulations—Custom simulations and custom outputs saved on the ColorPASS
are deleted when you install or restore system software. Save a copy of any custom
simulations before installing so they can be restored. See the Job Management Guide
for more information.
• Compatibility—When upgrading the system software make sure the latest user software
is installed onto all computers that print to the ColorPASS. Using incompatible versions
of the system and user software may result in system problems.
