Has anyone installed CWS 5.3?

I'm wondering if there are any pitfalls I need to watch out for. Thanks in advance.

So far so good at a couple of different customer locations.
It looks like there might be a couple of very machine-specific issues that have popped up, but nothing that is debilitating- plus it appears as though EFI is reacting quickly on this release to fix any issues that do show themselves.

This version has some really nice added features, so I hope it is a successful release for them.

[mojoprime]

cool. i may give it a shot. just out of curiosity -- what machines are having issues?

[Printease]

The one I have seen is on a Xerox 550 where CWS5.3 will crash if there is a paper jam. Hard to say right now if it is a RIP thing, or just a communication error with the workstation that has CWS5 open. These things usually get fixed pretty quickly though.

[mojoprime]

ok. i've got a Xerox 700 that's been a little picky, so i'll give it a shot and see if it blows up.

thanks again!

[Printease]

Let us know how it goes!

[mojoprime]

so far so good on the workstation -- knock on wood. haven't installed it on the RIP yet. i'm a little chicken.

Don't install it on the RIP.
I haven't got the release notes in front of me at the moment, but from memory it can't be installed on the RIP for the 700.

I have a xerox 530 model.. and its working fine with my printing.. any new and advanced features in that?

We have a DC240 & CW5.3 closed down by itself quite often when it is not being used. I haven't seen any advantages to this version but maybe our machine is too old.
