AR-PE2 System Software Installation Procedure 
 
 
Model Name: AR-PE2 
 
Overview: 
This bulletin explains how to install or re-install the system software for the AR-PE2 
Fiery print controller.  
 
Requirements:  
1. 
A PC running either Windows 95, 98 or ME operating system(s). 
   2. 
CD-Rom 
drive. 
 
 
 
3. 
At least 488MB of free disk space. 
4. 
Support for ECP mode on the parallel port. 
5. 
IEEE 1284 Centronics cable. 
6. 
System Software Files (available on SharpEye CD1). 
 
Note:   The PC will need to be configured so that the parallel port in the BIOS is set 
to ECP. If ECP is not supported, the system software installation will be 
much slower.  
 
Reminders: 
Installing the system software erases all data on the HDD. Check the following items 
before re-installing/updating:- 
 
Configuration: Print a current set-up configuration page as all set-up parameters will 
be deleted. 
 
Archive: 
Archive important print jobs from the print, hold and spool queues to 
a local hard drive. 
 
Job Log: 
The list of jobs in the job log and any jobs in the queue will be 
deleted. Save the current list of jobs from the job log using Fiery/Web 
spooler or by exporting the information into a spreadsheet (eg. 
Excel). 
 
Fonts: 
All fonts that the customer has installed on the AR-PE2 are deleted. 
Print a current Font list before installation to determine which 
additional fonts have been downloaded. 
 
Webscan: 
 
Compatibility:  The latest user software must be installed onto ALL computers that 
print to the AR-PE2. Using incompatible versions of the system and 
user software may result in system problems.

Procedure:  
 
1.  Install the Postscript driver for the Fiery AR-PE2 from the User CD. 
This driver supports IEEE1284 fast bi-directional throughput over an ECP parallel 
port and allows you to configure all port and spool settings required for a 
successful installation. 
 
2.  Click the Icon for the printer and choose Properties from the File menu. 
 
3.  Click the details tab and confirm the “Print to the following port” reads  
LPT 1: (ECP Printer Port) as shown below: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4.  Click Spool settings and select “Spool print jobs so program finishes 
printing faster” and “Start printing after first page is spooled”. Also select 
“Disable bi-directional support for this printer” if it is not greyed out. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note:  Disabling Windows support for the bi-directional parallel port helps the 
system software installation to be successful.
