    2. Double-click the Fiery_USBSetupTool.exe to start the installer.
    3. When the setup wizard is launched, click Next.
    4. Accept the terms of the license agreement and then click Next.
      Wait while the installer verifies the installation requirements.

      • If the PC does not already have .Net framework installed, click Accept to accept the terms of the license agreement that appears on the screen. Wait up to 10 minutes as the .Net framework files are installed.

    5. At the next screen, accept or change the destination location, and then click Next.
    6. When prompted, click Install to begin the installation.
      Wait while the application is installed on the PC.
    7. At the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen, click Finish.

      • The version information is displayed on the top-right corner of the Fiery USB Setup Tool main window. More information about the Fiery USB Setup Tool version can be found in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. In Windows 7, click Control Panel > Programs and Features.

  2. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive with system software included.
    1. Start the USB Setup Tool application by clicking Start and choosing All Programs > EFI > Fiery USB Setup Tool.
    2. Attach the USB flash drive to the PC. All data on the USB flash drive is lost when the drive is reformatted during the preparation procedure. Make sure that no valuable data resides on the USB flash drive.
    3. Insert the System Software DVD into the media drive of the PC. (If you have image files of the system software and user software (*.ISO), skip this step.
    4. Drag the system software contents and drop it onto the Fiery USB Setup Tool window in the following way.
      A. If preparing with the System Software DVD:
      Open My Computer and select the DVD drive (for example, DVD-RW drive E:), and drag and drop the drive onto the Fiery USB Setup Tool window.
      B. If preparing with the image file (*ISO) of the system software.
      From the Windows Explorer, select the image (*.ISO) file, drag and drop the file onto the Fiery USB Setup Tool window.
    5. When you are prompted "Please drag and drop the next ISO/folder/DVD", repeat step 4 with the User Software DVD or User Software image file (*.ISO).
    6. On the Disk Info screen, confirm the Fiery Product and Fiery Version are shown as desired. Then, select the drive letter for the USB flash drive, and click Next.
      The USB will be formatted in a special way, and then data on the DVD (or image file) will be transferred to the USB flash drive.

      • If preparing with the System Software DVD, insert DVD 1 when prompted by the message.
        Insert DVD 2 at the similar message that will appear approximately 5 minutes after inserting DVD 1.

      The progress bar and time remaining show that the files are being copied. Copying the file usually takes 15-20 minutes, but may take considerably longer depending on your PC, USB version (3.0/2.0) and the specifications of the USB flash drive (USB 3.0/2.0). It may take an extra 1-3 minutes to complete even after the progress bar reaches 100%. Do not cancel.
    7. When a message appears indicating that the USB flash drive is prepared, click Close to exit the Fiery USB Setup Tool.
    8. Remove the USB flash drive in a safe way from the PC.
      (For example, with Windows 7, use "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" menu.)

      • Do not leave the prepared USB flash drive attached to the PC. If the drive is still attached when the PC starts up or reboots, system corruption may result.

    9. If needed, remove the DVD from the media drive of the PC.
    10. Label the prepared USB flash drive with identifying information.
  3. Turn ON the copier and the E-24B and print the configuration page.
  4. If possible, back up the system settings to a configuration settings file with the backup feature [Link to Backing Up/Restoring the System Configuration and Selected Settings Only].
  5. Perform the shut down procedure from the copier operation panel [Link to Shutting Down the E-24B Only].
  6. When the E-24B power is down (that is when the diagnostic LEDs are off), turn the main power switch of the E-24B to OFF.
  7. Disconnect all cables from the E-24B connector panel.
  8. Set the E-24B service switches as shown below. ("1" ON, "2" OFF)
  9. Attach the prepared USB flash drive to one of the USB ports on the E-24B.

    • If dust covers are attached to the USB Type A ports, remove one dust cover using needle-nosed pliers.
    • When using a USB 3.0 flash drive, make sure to attach the USB flash drive to one of the USB 3.0 ports, which are located on the rear of the E-24B. Otherwise installation time will take considerably longer than expected.


    [A] USB 2.0 ports
    [B] USB 3.0 ports
  10. Turn the main power switch of the E-24B to ON, then press and release the soft power push button on the front of the E-24B and wait until installation is complete. (The E-24B shuts down automatically after installation is complete.)
    The diagnostic LEDs increment quickly to initialize, then the diagnostic LEDs display C1, C2, C3 continuously, showing that installation (file transfer phase) is under progress.
    Installation (file transfer phase) takes approximately 10 minutes. The LED on the USB flash drive should show that files are being transferred.
  11. Turn the main power switch of the E-24B to OFF and remove the USB flash drive from the E-24B.

    • During the 10-15 minutes, the diagnostic LED may remain displaying 'FF' for several times, but this does not indicate an error.

  18. Touch the Fiery icon. "Please Wait!" may be shown on the copier operation panel for a while.
  19. Within a few minutes, the language selection screen is shown. (If this screen is not shown, then press the Home button on the operation panel of the copier and then touch the Fiery icon again.)

    • Ask the site administrator for the other settings that are not on the Configuration pages. You must reboot the E-24B to apply the settings. For more information, see the "Configuration and Setup" manual ( ★変換できませんでした(ulink)_http://help.efi.com/ricoh/docs/_★ ).
