Software Installation Guide
About this Guide
This guide describes the initial printer driver 
installation. For more detailed information, refer to 
the EFI User Software Installation Guide and EFI 
Configuration Guide provided on the User 
Documentation CD (CD3). 
The general steps for installing the software are as 
follows:
• Install the PostScript printer driver or PCL 
printer driver and corresponding printer driver 
files.
• Set up the printer driver to communicate with 
the Fiery.
• Install Fiery utilities and user software.
Configure Fiery utilities and user software
You must also configure either a local connection 
for printing directly to your printer or a network 
connection for printing over a network.

A full set of user documentation, where 
procedures are described in detail, is provided on 
the User Documentation CD (CD3).

Selecting a printer driver in Windows
Select a driver appropriate for your application.
           
Fiery PostScript printer driver
Use this driver for high-resolution color graphics 
applications and pre-press graphic proofing. This 
driver also includes advanced features which may 
only be used by a network system administrator.
PCL printer driver
PCL and PCL6 printer drivers are included mainly 
for compatibility with legacy systems.
You can install both drivers and use either one 
depending on your application. However, each 
driver must be installed individually.
            
1 Install the Ferrite Core         
In order to reduce electromagnetic interference—
”noise” that interferes with TVs or other 
appliances—you must place the enclosed ferrite 
core on the network cable connected to your 
printer. Here is how to do it:
1. Disconnect the network cable from the printer, 
if necessary.
2. Loop the cable if necessary to keep the ferrite 
core in place.
             
3. Place the open core about 1 inch from the cable 
connector on the printer end.
4. Press the two halves of the core together until 
they click shut.
CAUTION!
Do not connect this product to an uninterruptible 
power supply (UPS). For further information 
please contact your Sharp dealer or 
www.sharpusa.com. 
Be sure to use the 15A AC power cord supplied 
with the printer. Use of a power cord NOT 
supplied with this printer, or an extension cord, 
may result in overheating, and could be a safety 
hazard.
IMPORTANT!
This safeguard is an FCC requirement.
