Sorry, I definitely described that wrong and didn't think it through.
When I said format that was in error. What I meant was remove any partitions on the drive.

To format, you need to create a partition, so again sorry for your wasted time there should be no partitions on the drive.

Are you sure the software is loading, as the LED must go through C1, C2, and other display numbers and not go straight to FF.

Re: Fiery stuck at FF

Do you have proper combination of service switches for usb dowload

Re: Fiery stuck at FF

There should be 2 Switches. The default position is to allow the controller to run 'Normally'.
Usually you'd switch both, if you were using an Ethernet load, or you'd switch one of them, to allow USB load.
Check the Guide, it should advise which configuration for Switches. (Also, not that it may show them upside down, so get up close and personal, so you can see which switch is which and get the setting right.
Once done, as it boots and loads, as @PrintWhisperer says, you should see the counter increase, as the SW successfully loads.

Best of luck!

@Reeves - Read the above....does this happen?

If not....

Make sure the USB is formatted correctly.
If Fiery USB Tool cannot load the USB Drive, then you may need a newer version (or maybe even an older version) of this software.

Once you have successfully loaded the SW onto the USB, THEN is the time to insert the USB, flip the correct DIPSW, power on and watch those digits do their thing.

A quick question....is this an EX , an EXI, or an EXC ?

Re: Fiery stuck at FF

Only way to create fiery usb is with usb tool.
You can not use any other software to copy files to usb.
