Installing system software
The System Software CD includes the system software and fonts. Use the System
Software CD when:
•You replace the HDD
•You update to a more recent version of the system software
•Restore Backup fails
•You change languages
NOTE: System software installation takes approximately 30-40 minutes (not including
the time required to configure Setup).
TO INSTALL SYSTEM SOFTWARE
1. If you have not done so already, print the Job Log and save any custom simulations.
Also, print the following from the Functions menu (if possible):
• Configuration page—lists any installed options, patches, or upgrades, and details of
the current Setup configuration. The Setup configuration is reset to the default
configuration when you install ore restore system software. The Configuration page
is useful for restoring the desired Setup configuration after you install ore restore
system software.
•Font Lists—the PS and PCL Font lists detail the fonts currently installed on the
HDD. These include the original fonts that came installed on the EX7750 plus any
additional fonts that may be installed. All fonts are deleted when you install system
software. Use Fiery Downloader to reinstall 3rd-party fonts after system software
reinstalls the original fonts. To determine which 3rd-party fonts needs reinstallation,
print the Font List before you install ore restore system software and again after you
install ore restore system software. Any fonts not listed after restoration need to be
reinstalled.
2. Remove all USB devices and dongles that may be connected to any EX7750 USB ports.
The system will hang if cables or dongles are connected to EX7750 USB ports during
system software restoration.
