Introduction

This manual is intended for anyone who is responsible for integrating the Fiery into a business environment that includes networked personal computers. After the Fiery and client workstations are set up, individual users can print to the Fiery as a highperformance PostScript printer.

This manual describes how to set up network servers and clients to use the Fiery and how to install user software and set up printing from Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS computers. For general information on using your computer, your software, or your network, see the manuals that accompany those

NOTE: The term “Fiery” is used in this manual to refer to the Fiery Network Controller

products.

for C9800. The name “Aero” is used in illustrations to represent the Fiery. The term “Windows” is used to refer to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, wherever appropriate. “Setup” is used to refer to configuring the Fiery for proper performance in your network environment, including settings that affect all jobs. The administrator can perform Setup from the WebSetup and Command WorkStation.

1-1 Fiery on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. Check those references to find the information you need quickly.

Fiery on the network

When the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the printer supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other):

• AppleTalk

• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports Windows (SMB) printing. The port 9100 is the printer server port number to publish print connections between the print server and a remote computer. The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets. The http protocol also supports IPP printing.

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned.

When you add the Fiery to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

• Physically connecting the Fiery to a functioning network

• Configuring the network server

• Setting up the Fiery

Stages of installation on the network

Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:

Prepare a network node for the Fiery—obtain cable, route it to the location where the printer will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface. For details, see

page 3-8.

When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide client access to the Fiery as a PostScript printer. For information on configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see Chapter 2.

Configure the Fiery for your particular printing and network environment. First read

Chapter 2, and then see subsequent chapters for details.

• Preparing client workstations for printing

Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Fiery over the network. These steps are described in the User Software

Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.

• Administering the Fiery

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.

UNIX Mac OS Windows

Prepare a network node. Connect the Fiery to the network. If you use a computer running Command WorkStation software, connect it to the network.

Configure UNIX, Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, and IPX (Novell) servers to specify Fiery print queues and Fiery users.

No special configuration of AppleShare servers is required.

On the printer Control Panel, configure, at a minimum, the Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup.

At each workstation that will print to the Fiery:

• Install the appropriate printer files and connect to one or more queues.

• For computers that will use them, install Fiery utilities and an Internet browser.

• Verify the Fiery in the list of printers and run a test print.

Quick path to installation

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems you can use to print and run Fiery software from remote workstations. Find the page with your preferred platform and network type, and then look up the setup procedures referenced in the “Key to setup” in the upper-left corner of each diagram.

The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology) of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical networks is beyond the scope of this manual.

Ethernet connection

For Ethernet connections, the Fiery supports cabling, defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT; or as Category 3, Category 4, or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT. The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the C9800.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery is 100BaseTX, also known as Fast

Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” is used to refer to 100BaseTX.

TO CONNECT TO THE ETHERNET PORT

• Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the printer.

You must use a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable for 100BaseT.

Parallel cable connection

The Fiery can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations on dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or

IPX.

The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.

NOTE: The parallel port cannot be used to connect the Fiery with

Command WorkStation or other Fiery utilities.

TO USE PARALLEL OR USB CABLE

1. With the C9800 and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel or USB cable to the parallel or USB port of the printer.

For the location of the parallel and USB ports, see the illustration on page 1-11.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel or USB port on the Windows computer.

3. Turn on the computer and the C9800.

4. Proceed to Setup.

Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers— that share printing to the Fiery. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/ Server 2003 workstations or UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to print to the Fiery and run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools.

The Fiery can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special configuration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 environment (see “Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/

Server 2003/Server 2003” in the following section).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, proceed to the following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 2-17.

Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003

When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computer is configured to connect to the Fiery using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows clients. Client computers print to the Fiery by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/Server 2003 server computer.

2-2 Setting up Network Servers

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and any workstations that will print

Typical system combinations are:

• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 Server; clients running

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and Windows 98/Me

• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and

clients running Windows 98/Me

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools from a Windows computer.

Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations, note the following:

to it or run the Fiery utilities.

• In Fiery Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery.

Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them dynamically.

• Make sure the Fiery name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or host name database used by your system.

• Make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery as a remote printer.

For more information, see page 2-18.

• For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver files on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003

For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery.

Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.

For more information, see page 2-18.

• If the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is also a workstation, install Fiery utilities (see the User Software Installation Guide).

2-4 Setting up Network Servers

Adding the Fiery to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers and Windows clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-19.

2-5 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003

Installing the Fiery as a shared printer

The first step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver files, which give your applications access to printer features. You can use the installation instructions in the

User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and

independently to the Fiery. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the network. This allows clients who do not have permission to establish an independent network connection to the Fiery to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery printer files. If you have not yet installed the Fiery printer files on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 print server computer, do so now, following the instructions in Chapter 1 of the User Software Installation Guide. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the Fiery.

If you have already installed the Fiery printer files on the computer you are using as a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server, see your Windows documentation for information about sharing the Fiery.

If more than one Fiery print connection is published (for example, if both the Print queue and the Hold queue are published), you may want to create a printer for each print connection, so that you and other users can print to each connection directly. When prompted to specify the printer name, enter a name that indicates the Fiery print connection.

2-6 Setting up Network Servers

Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server

Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, or Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/XP/Server 2003 computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY SHARED

BY A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER

• Windows 98/Me: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and then double-click the printer name.

You are prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add Printer Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in Chapter 1 of the User Software

Installation Guide.

• Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP: Before printing, connect to the print server computer and select the Fiery. Right-click and choose the Open command.

When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.

After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page Setup, or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for their own job, but printer properties appear dimmed, and are unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the Fiery window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 print server.

2-7 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2003

• Print a Configuration page (see page 5-33).

• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer.

Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server

If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, Windows workstations can still print to the Fiery. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 98/ Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations operate in a peer-topeer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery when users send print jobs.

Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/Server 2003 server also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is not present. The prerequisites are summarized in the following list, and you can find more detail in your Microsoft documentation.

Use the information on this page to determine the current Fiery settings.

Windows 98/Me: Load File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks. Windows 2000/XP: Load Client for Microsoft Networks.

• In the Windows Network Control Panel, verify the Workgroup name of the computer. Make sure that the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in Fiery Setup.

• Windows 98/Me: In the File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network Properties dialog box, specify Automatic or Enabled for Browse Master, and select Yes for LM

Announce.

Windows 2000/XP: In the Client for Microsoft Networks Properties dialog box, configure the computer to allow file sharing, and then restart the computer.

• Ping the Fiery to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see page 2-19).

• Insert the C9800 Driver CD and wait for it to autorun.

If the CD does not start automatically, click [Start]→ [Run] and enter E:\Setup (where E is your CD-ROM drive) in the Open field, then click on [OK].

2-8 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery on a NetWare network

The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery support the following network operating environments:

• NetWare—NDS (Novell Directory Services)

• Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode

The term “Netware” is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

NOTE: The iPrint feature available with NetWare 6.x is not supported.

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare in native mode.

NetWare clients print to the Fiery through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined in this chapter, client printing setup is described in the User Software Installation Guide, and printing is described in the Printing Guide.

The Fiery can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet network topologies. During Fiery Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

2-9 Fiery on a NetWare network

• A minimum connection to the Fiery consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print

• A single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers can be configured

• The Fiery looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

• Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the Fiery.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the Fiery is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network.

The Fiery with IPX connections has the following characteristics:

server, and a NetWare queue.

simultaneously.

Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery

NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation.

You must give the NetWare queue names a specific extension corresponding to the Fiery print connection, as follows:

_print _hold _direct

NOTE: These extension names must be in English and in all lowercase letters.

You do not need to rerun Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue; however, you should restart the Fiery after you create or remove a queue.

When the Fiery is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are automatically transferred over the network to the matching connection on the Fiery. For example, jobs from the

2-10 Setting up Network Servers

NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery Print queue. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You can access the Job Log containing these records at any time.

Configuring a NetWare server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare file server so networked users can print to the Fiery from their workstations, and the Fiery can obtain print jobs from the NetWare server.

For each NetWare file server that you configure, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections and in your NetWare documentation.

• Make sure the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.

• Log in as the Supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare file server.

• For NetWare installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 2-12).

• For NetWare in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 2-12).

• For NetWare in bindery emulation, set up a file server, print server, and print queue

for the Fiery (see page 2-13).

With bindery services, you can route all Fiery print jobs through the same NetWare file server, or you can configure more than one file server to handle Fiery jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, the Fiery, and the client workstation are summarized in the following tables. The first table applies to NDS connections, and the second to bindery connections. Complete the operations in the left column, then the centre column, then the right column.

2-12 Setting up Network Servers

Setting up an NDS connection

In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context that defines the location of the object in the directory tree. For the Fiery, you are mainly concerned with defining a printer, a print server object, and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare administrator programs such as PCONSOLE, NETADMIN, or NetWare Administrator.

The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers (which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects). Access to objects is controlled by rights that are defined as properties of each object. Rights are established by network administrators.

Setting the NetWare bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery. If you need to connect additional NetWare servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation. You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery.

NOTE: The file server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you selected in

NDS Setup.

In order to set up the NetWare server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the Fiery, the network administrator must do the following:

• Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and

the print queue for the Fiery will be created.

The container defines the “bindery context” for your network structure.

• Edit the network startup file to set the bindery context.

• Activate the new bindery context.

2-13 Fiery on a NetWare network

Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery

For NetWare in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and print queue for the Fiery are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in the NetWare PUBLIC directory.

As with NDS, you can create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, and you can then select them in Network Setup.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

Before setting up client workstations for printing, perform Network Setup (see

page 4-7), and verify that the settings reflect the entities you created in the NetWare

administrator utilities (see page 2-10).

NOTE: For printing to the Fiery, connect all Windows clients to a NetWare server and

permit them to connect to the Netware print server or servers on which you defined a NetWare print queue for the Fiery.

After the Novell server and the Fiery have been set up, client setup consists of:

• Installing the networking protocol, binding it to the network adapter card, and

permitting the client to log in to the NetWare file server.

On Windows 98/Me workstations, load both the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and the Client for NetWare Networks from the Network Control Panel.

On Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations, install Client Services for NetWare. Use the CSNW option in the Control Panel to set printing options and specify a preferred NetWare server.

• Setting up the Fiery as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer driver

and the Fiery PPD (PostScript printer description).

• Adding a network port and connecting the workstation to one or more NetWare

queues that have been defined for the Fiery.

• Installing Fiery software, such as colour reference files.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide.

2-14 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS

The Fiery supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the Fiery supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “Fiery on a NetWare

network” on page 2-8.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available for clients to download from Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computers.

During Fiery Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

Tips for experts—NetWare networks

Setting up the Fiery in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the Fiery in such an environment, refer to the following information:

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and for any workstations that will print to it or run Fiery utilities.

• In Fiery Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery. You can enter these manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.

• Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the Fiery.

2-15 Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS

Configuring a NetWare server for printing with NDPS

Before you begin

The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x or later installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are using the latest NetWare service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

In Fiery Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP and LPD printing on the Fiery. You can ping the Fiery to verify that TCP/IP communication is successful.

Setting up the Fiery printer driver

You first need to create a directory for Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 or a folder for Windows 98/Me in the NetWare server for NDPS to install the corresponding printer driver files from the User Software CD.

TO SET UP THE PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003

Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations

When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and connected to the Fiery over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the Fiery.

Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.

The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and WebTools, are unavailable on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac OS computer on the same network as the UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the Fiery can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from all workstations on the network.

2-18 Setting up Network Servers

• A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery as well as for each workstation on

• A name must be selected for the Fiery that goes with the IP address.

• The IP address of the Fiery must be registered for the network in a host name

• At least one print connection (Print or Hold) must be published.

• The Fiery contains a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.

• The Fiery has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with

Tips for experts—UNIX workstations

Setting up the Fiery in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device:

For details, see the following section.

Important note about the remote printer name

Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for the remote printer (or rp in the

/etc/printcap file) in configuring the Fiery must be one of the following:

print hold

The remote printer name is also used when setting up a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/ Server 2003 workstation or Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to connect to the Fiery over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 printer, as the “Name of printer or print queue on that (lpd host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box.

For the Windows 2000/XP printer driver, enter the remote printer name for Queue Name under LPR Settings in the Configure Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor dialog box.

2-19 Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations

Setting up the Fiery on TCP/IP networks

Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an address for the Fiery. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Since the Fiery spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery. If you choose to do so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a client machine does not have its own spooling area.

TO SET UP FIERY PRINTING ON UNIX SYSTEMS

1. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery Network Setup.

Enter a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery.

2. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery Printer Setup.

Publish the Print queue, Hold queue, and/or Direct queue.

TO SET UP TCP/IP FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE FIERY

1. A superuser (with root login) must add the Fiery to the network’s IP host table or other system database of network printers.

2. In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the Fiery name you assigned.

3. Make the Fiery available as a printer to other network users.

4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any Windows computer on the network, at the MS-DOS command prompt, type:

ping <IP address>

Type the Fiery IP address assigned in Fiery Network Setup.

After the Fiery is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to the Fiery:

ping <hostname>

2-20 Setting up Network Servers

The server should respond with a message such as

Reply from <IP address> ...

Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To stop the output, type

TO PRINT TO THE FIERY

• On a UNIX system running SunOS 4.x or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the Fiery.

• On a UNIX system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lp command to send a job to the Fiery.

• Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to the Fiery from their applications or from a command prompt.

When Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 users print from applications, they can set print options with the driver but not from the UNIX command line.

Control-C. You can use the ping command at any time.

Managing print jobs

UNIX network administrators can use UNIX utilities for viewing the list of jobs, and for printing and removing jobs that are spooled on UNIX servers. If the network includes a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstation that has TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can use Command WorkStation or Fiery Downloader not only to view the list of jobs and to print and remove jobs but also to download fonts and files directly to the Fiery. For more information on these job management tools, see the Job Management Guide.

Even without the Fiery utilities, you can do the following:

• Set up the Fiery to print a log of printed jobs automatically after every 55 jobs.

• Print a Job Log manually at any time from the Command WorkStation

Functions menu (see the Job Management Guide).

3-1 Levels of access and control

Chapter 3: Preparing for Fiery Setup

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery configuration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do. Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access you will implement for your site. Administrators and operators must also understand how Fiery system software is structured in order to configure and use the Fiery system correctly.

Levels of access and control

When you configure the Fiery during Setup, you (as system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling or not enabling print connections, passwords, and access to WebTools. The level of control you implement can range from minimum to moderate to maximum—or none at all.

• Minimum control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the local

network can control all printing and Fiery functions. Although there may be an administrator or operator charged with certain duties, all users have equal access to the system and job management tools.

• Maximum control might be appropriate for a high-volume printing environment

where an administrator or operator controls the job flow and all printing; jobs sent by users are spooled (stored) to the Fiery hard disk until the operator decides it is time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and operator have access to job management tools. This is the recommended level of control.

NOTE: The term “job management tools” is used in this manual to refer to

Command WorkStation and Command WorkStation LE.

Fiery print connections

The Fiery supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and Direct connection. These print connections can be enabled, or “published,” to users on the network when you configure Printer Setup. All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. The Print queue and Direct connection give remote users more direct access to the Fiery than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments where maximum control is desired.

3-2 Preparing for Fiery Setup

In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. In Setup, you can enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in the queue (see page 4-6). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.

NOTE: To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, you must enable at least one of the

connections.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery hard disk for printing at a later time or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management tools (see the Job Management Guide).

Print queue

This is the standard Fiery queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery, but only when the Fiery is Idle. If the Fiery is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed.

NOTE: The Direct connection is not supported for LPR printing.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery hard disk, and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job Log, for accounting purposes.

NOTE: To download fonts to the Fiery, you must publish the Direct connection.

3-3 Levels of access and control

Passwords

You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery functions. The Fiery allows you to set the following passwords in Setup:

• Administrator—remotely from Command WorkStation, or locally from the Control

Panel

• Operator—from Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery. If you do not specifically set

passwords, all users will have administrator privileges, which include access to important functions such as Setup (including setting passwords), and job control. We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the Fiery from random or accidental changes to Setup.

Administrator privileges

Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control, since the person who has access to Setup can control the printing and job management environment. Administrator privileges include publishing print connections, setting passwords, deleting fonts, controlling print jobs from the job management tools, overriding job settings, clearing the Fiery of all job data, performing calibration, defining default colour profiles, and setting default values for print options.

Operator privileges

Operator control includes control of print jobs from the job management tools, including the ability to override job settings.

Guest privileges (no password)

No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from the job management tools. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the Fiery state.

3-4 Preparing for Fiery Setup

WebTools

The Fiery supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable the use of WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:

• Enable TCP/IP.

• Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery.

• Enable Web Services.

For more information, see Chapter 6.

You can set passwords to control access to WebTools features. If you do not specifically set these passwords, all users have access to all WebTools functions (see page 3-3). WebTools include Status, WebLink, WebDownloader, and WebSetup.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see Chapter 8 of the Printing Guide.

WebLink

WebLink provides all users with a link to an address on the Internet. To change the WebLink Internet address, see page 6-3. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set (see “Passwords” on page 3-3).

NOTE: If you do not set the Administrator password, any user can change the WebLink

address, which affects all users. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you set an Administrator password.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF files directly to the Fiery without first opening the file in an application. It is not affected by

passwords.

3-5 Levels of access and control

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery Setup options from a remote workstation. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see Chapter 5.

NOTE: WebSetup is supported on Windows computers only.

3-6 Preparing for Fiery Setup

1. No designated administrator or operator (Minimum control—not recommended)

2. An administrator but no operator

Control level scenarios

Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from minimum control to maximum control, are described in this section. Choose the scenario that best matches your site requirements, and refer to the corresponding number in the following table for guidance on how to configure your system for those requirements.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to

prevent unauthorized changes to system settings.

All users have equal access to all system functions including Setup, clearing the Fiery, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink address, performing calibration, printing to all Fiery print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, and other administrator functions, but all other system functions are accessible to all users, including printing to all Fiery print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management

tools.

3. An administrator and an operator

4. An administrator and an operator; no WebTool access

Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools. Users can print to the Hold queue and Print queue, but not to the Direct connection. The operator controls all job flow, but jobs sent to the Print queue may not require operator intervention. There is no access to WebTools.

3-7 About Setup

5. An administrator and an operator; operator controls all jobs; no WebTool access (Maximum control)

Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools. Users can print only to the Hold queue. The administrator and the operator have complete control of job flow. There is no access to WebTools.

About Setup

Setup configures the Fiery to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. You must perform Setup the first time you turn on the Fiery, or if the internal hard disk drive has just been replaced. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate for allowing users to print to the Fiery and use the WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can change Setup options accordingly.

The first time you perform Setup, you must use the printer’s Control Panel. Configure, at a minimum, Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that sequence. After the initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the printer’s Control Panel (page 4-2) or Command WorkStation. Most Setup options can be set using any of these methods.

If you do not configure the remaining Setups, the Fiery uses default settings. You need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

3-8 Preparing for Fiery Setup

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 (using TCP/IP) networks, you must configure the network servers for printing to the Fiery before you configure Fiery network settings in Setup. For chapter references to information about network server Setup, see the diagrams in Chapter 1.

To configure network settings in Setup, you must have a live network connection, so the Fiery can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the configuration of the Fiery, the printer, or the network itself changes at your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port settings may require that you also make changes to other Setup options.

NOTE: You must configure the Fiery with the correct Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server

2003 domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing.

NOTE: The Fiery does not support the Windows 2000/Server 2003 Active Directory

Service. When you use the Fiery in a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server environment, assign the Fiery to a Domain or Workgroup.

Ensuring the printer connection

Complete the following steps before you configure the Fiery and the workstations that will print to the Fiery. A service technician will have performed some initial

installation.

TO PREPARE FOR FIERY CONFIGURATION

1. Print a printer Test Page to verify the printer is functioning normally.

2. With the the printer turned off, connect the network cable to the the printer, as described in Chapter 1.

The network should already be installed and operational.

3. Turn on the printer.

Proceed to Fiery Setup, described in Chapter 4.

4-1 Fiery Setup from the Control Panel

Chapter 4: Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Setup is required the first time the printer is turned on after installation or if the hard disk drive has just been replaced. In this initial Setup, you (or the service technician) choose the language for Printer Control Panel menus and messages. If you do not configure a particular Setup option, the Fiery uses default settings. Make sure the settings are appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Fiery Setup from the Control Panel

Setup performed from the Control Panel configures the Fiery to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs sent to it.

Setup provides these groups of options:

• Server Setup to specify system options

• Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that transmit print jobs to

the Fiery

• Parallel Setup to determine if and how the parallel port is used

• USB Setup to determine if and how the USB port is used

• Printer Setup to specify how print jobs and queues are managed

• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings

• PCL Setup to specify PCL settings

• Color Setup to specify colour settings

• Job Log Setup to specify how the Fiery handles its log of printed jobs

• PrintMe Setup to specify the PrintMe settings

• Custom Process to specify special custom colour settings

• Change Password to create and change the administrator password

• Language to select the required language for the display panel and various printed

reports

• Clear Server clears all print jobs from the server

• Factory Defaults restores factory default settings

4-2 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Printer Control Panel

The Control Panel on the front of the printer allows you to set options and view information about jobs printed to the Fiery.

Use the printer’s Control Panel to view status information, print special pages, and set up printing. While most elements in the Control Panel display have counterparts in Command WorkStation, you can view current functions on the Control Panel even when Command WorkStation is not connected to the server or is not running.

Safety warnings

The printer display window is a liquid crystal display (LCD) made of glass, and it can break. Do not subject it to strong shocks.

If the display window breaks and the liquid crystal material leaks out, do not inhale, ingest, or touch it. If the material gets on your skin or clothing, wash it off with soap and water immediately.

3. When you have finished, save changes.

In the following list of options, default values, where applicable, appear in brackets.

NOTE: To allow users to access the Fiery utilities and WebTools or print to the Fiery

over a TCP/IP network, you must publish at least the Hold queue or the Print queue.

Publish Direct Connection Yes/No [Yes]

This option allows users to print (or download) jobs to the Fiery without spooling. Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not saved in the Printed queue.

NOTE: If you plan to download fonts to the Fiery, you must publish the

Direct

connection.

4-39 PostScript Setup options

Publish Print Queue Yes/No [Yes]

This option allows users to print (or download) jobs to the Print queue. Jobs that are printed to the Print queue are spooled to the Fiery disk and printed on a first-in, first-out basis. Only queues published in the Printer Setup are available to users.

NOTE: To print to the Fiery over the parallel port, you must publish a queue or publish

the Direct connection.

Publish Hold Queue Yes/No [Yes]

Use this option to allow users to print (or download) jobs to the Hold queue. Jobs in the Hold queue can only be printed by copying or moving the jobs to the Print queue with the job management tools.

Parallel Connection Print Queue/Hold Queue/Direct Connection [Print Queue]

Use this option to determine where jobs printed to the parallel port are sent. Only the print connections that you published are displayed.

This option appears only if you selected Yes for the Enable Parallel Port option in Network Setup. If only one of the print connections is published, this option does not appear and parallel port jobs are automatically printed to that connection.

Save Changes Yes/No [Yes]

Select Yes to activate any changes made in the Printer Setup; select No to return to the main Setup menu without making any changes.

PostScript Setup options

PS (PostScript) Setup allows you to set defaults for the Fiery. Users can override most of these defaults on a job-by-job basis. However, users printing from UNIX or DOS command lines cannot override defaults from their applications. Therefore, you must set defaults in PostScript Setup. For information about these defaults, see the

Printing Guide .

Allow Courier Substitution Yes/No [Yes]

Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are unavailable when you download files to the Fiery, or when you print a document for which you do not have the corresponding printer font. If this option is set to No, jobs with fonts that are unavailable on the Fiery hard disk generate a PostScript error and do not print. This setting does not apply to PDF files; font substitution occurs automatically in PDF

Print Cover Page Yes/No [No]

Specify whether the Fiery prints a cover page (job summary) at the end of each print job. If you select Yes, each print job is followed by a page containing the name of the user who sent the job, the document name, the server name, the time the job was printed, the number of pages printed, and the status of the job. If a PostScript error occurs and the Print to PS Error option is set to Yes, the cover page lists the PostScript error message instead of the job status.

Save Changes Yes/No [Yes]

Select Yes to activate any changes made in PS Setup; select No to return to the main Setup menu without making any changes.

PCL Setup options

PCL Setup allows you to set defaults to control printer output. These defaults can be overridden by the user from within an application, but they determine how a job will be printed in the absence of other information.

NOTE: PCL printing is supported for Windows computers only. Mac OS computers

must use the PostScript driver.

TO ACCESS PCL SETUP OPTIONS

1. In the main Setup menu, choose PCL Setup.

2. Enter the options appropriate to the printing requirements at the site.

3. When you have finished, save changes.

4-42 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

In the list of options that follows, default values, where applicable, appear in square brackets.

Paper Size A3/A4/11x17/Letter [A4]

Specify the default paper size that the Fiery uses to print PCL jobs.

Default Orientation Portrait/Landscape [Portrait]

This option determines whether the text or image will be oriented along the short edge of the paper (portrait) or along the long edge of the paper (landscape).

Form Length (lines) 5-128 [60]

This option sets the number of lines to be printed per page.

Font Size (pt)

4.0-999.75 [012.00]

When the number selected in Font Number represents a proportionally spaced scalable font, the Font Size option appears, allowing you to determine the point size (height) of the default font.

Font Pitch (char/in)

0.44-99.99 [010.00]

When the number selected in Font Number represents a fixed pitch scalable font, the Font Pitch option appears, allowing you to determine the width of scalable type. Pitch is measured by characters per inch, so 10-pitch type fits ten characters per inch.

Symbol Set ASCII/Roman-8/ECMA-94 L1/PC-8... [Desktop]

This option lets you choose the symbol set that best matches the needs of users printing to the Fiery.

Font Source Internal/ Softfont [Internal]

Specify the font source to be enabled.

4-43 Colour Setup options

Font Number 0-999 [0]

The font number designates the default font for the Fiery.

To determine font numbers, print the internal PCL Font List. The standard fonts are listed in order. The font numbers, however, are not displayed.

Paper Size for System Pages US/Metric [US in United States, Metric elsewhere]

Specify the paper size that PCL system pages print on. System pages are pages that you print from the Control Panel, such as the PCL Font List.

Save Changes Yes/No [Yes]

Select Yes to activate any changes made in PCL Setup; select No to return to the main Setup menu without making any changes.

Colour Setup options

Colour Setup allows you to set defaults the Fiery uses to control colour output. Mac OS and Windows users who use the printer drivers provided on the User Software CD can override most of these defaults on a job-by-job basis. However, users printing from UNIX or DOS command lines cannot override defaults from their applications. Therefore, you must set defaults in Colour Setup.

The preferred method for setting colour defaults is to use Colour Setup, part of the ColorWise Pro Tools. The colour options are described in this section for your reference. For more information about these defaults, see the Printing Guide and the

Colour Guide.

NOTE: In addition to the defaults described in this section, additional settings are

available to Mac OS and Windows users from the printer drivers.

4-44 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

TO ACCESS COLOUR SETUP OPTIONS

1. In the main Setup menu, choose Colour Setup.

2. Enter the options appropriate to the printing requirements at the site.

3. When you have finished, save changes.

In the following list of options, default values, where applicable, appear in square brackets.

RGB Source Profile EFIRGB/sRGB (PC)/Apple Standard/None [EFIRGB]

The RGB source is the colour space used to control colour for conversion from monitor to printed output. EFIRGB is based on the reference points used in the creation of the Fiery software. sRGB is based on an average of a large number of PC monitors. Apple Standard is the standard reference point for Apple’s ColorSync software.

Rendering Style Photographic/Presentation/Abs. Colorimetric/Rel. Colorimetric [Presentation]

The colour rendering dictionary (CRD) defines how colours are converted from the RGB colour space to device CMYK. Photographic, designed for images, retains the relative balance between colours to maintain the overall appearance of the image. Presentation, designed for bright colours, produces the saturated prints needed for most business presentations, but handles photographic images the same way as the Photographic CRD. Absolute Colorimetric provides the closest match to the CMYK device being simulated, including rendering the paper colour as the background. Relative Colorimetric provides a close match to the CMYK device being simulated, regardless of the media used.

CMYK Simulation Profile SWOP-Coated (EFI)/DIC (EFI)/Euroscale (EFI)/None [SWOP-Coated (EFI) in North America, Euroscale (EFI) elsewhere]

CMYK simulation allows colour correction to simulate printed output on a commercial press, so that the Fiery output can be used for proofing. The SWOP-Coated standard is used in the United States, DIC in Japan, and Euroscale in Europe. Custom simulations are user defined and named. The simulations provided with the Fiery have the designation “EFI” after their names.

4-45 Colour Setup options

If users create and load custom simulations on the Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools, these also appear in the list of simulations. A custom simulation can be selected as the default simulation. For more information about custom simulations, see the

Colour Guide.

CMYK Simulation Method Quick/Full (Source GCR)/Full (Output GCR) [Full (Output GCR)]

Quick simulation assumes that the printer toners match the printer’s inks, and all changes affect only one colour (C, M, Y, or K) at a time. Full (Source GCR) simulation allows for more flexibility in matching toner to ink and all changes interact to maintain a better colour balance. Full (Output GCR) offers accurate proofing by providing a colorimetric conversion of all four plates. In this simulation method, the black (K) plate is mixed into the CMY plates, then reseparated based on the Output

RGB Separation Output/Simulation [Output]

This option defines how the Fiery processes RGB jobs. Select Output for RGB jobs that you print to the final output device. Select Simulation to simulate an output device that is not the device to which you are printing.

profile.

Use Media-Defined Profiles Yes/No [Yes]

Specify whether to use the Media-Defined Profiles feature. Setting this option to Yes allows the Fiery to select an Output Profile according to a media type specified for the job. It also allows multiple output profiles to be applied to a Mixed Media job according to specified media types. Setting this option to No disables the feature, and a profile selected in the Output Profile option or in the ColorWise Pro Tools becomes the Fiery default Output Profile.

Output Profile

Default profile

Specify the default output profile to use for printing. Additional profiles can be created and downloaded to the Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools.

4-46 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Use Media-Defined Profiles Yes/No [Yes]

Pure Black Text/Graphics On/Off [On]

The Pure Black Text/Graphics option optimizes black text and line art. This option also minimizes toner use for documents consisting of both colour and black-only pages.

With this option On, black text and line art are printed with black toner only. With this option Off, black text and line art are printed using all four colours of toner. For more information, see the Colour Guide.

Black Overprint Text / Text/Graphics / Off [Text/Graphics]

With this option set to Text or Text/Graphics, black text and graphics overprints on coloured backgrounds. With this option set to Off, black text and graphics knocks out colour backgrounds. Generally this option should be Text or Text/Graphics.

Spot Colour Matching On/Off [On]

With this option On, the Fiery uses an internal lookup table to print the best equivalents of PANTONE colours. With this option Off, PANTONE colours are printed using the CMYK values defined in the original applications. For more information, see the Colour Guide.

Save Changes Yes/No [Yes]

Select Yes to activate any changes made in Colour Setup; select No to return to the main Setup menu without making any changes.

4-47 Administrative functions in the Setup menu

Administrative functions in the Setup menu

The remaining choices in the Setup menu are intended to help you manage print jobs and colour output, but are not required for printing.

•

Job Log Setup allows you to specify whether the Fiery prints and clears its log of

printed jobs automatically.

•

Change Password allows you to create or change an Administrator password on the

Fiery so that casual users cannot enter the Setup menus and change settings without permission. The Administrator password also controls many functions available from the job management tools.

•

Clear Server clears all queued print jobs from the server—jobs in the Fiery Print,

Hold, and Printed queues. Clear Server also clears the Job Log, all jobs archived on the Fiery hard disk, the index of archived jobs, and all Fiery FreeForm masters and the index of Fiery FreeForm masters.

•

Factory Defaults clears all queued jobs and resets the Fiery Setup options to the

factory defaults. Once the Fiery is reset, you may need to reselect the language in which to display Setup menus and system messages.

TO SET JOB LOG OPTIONS

1. In the main Setup menu, choose Job Log Setup.

2. Enter the options, as described in the following section.

3. When you have finished, save changes.

4-48 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Job Log Setup

The Job Log is a record of all jobs processed or printed on the Fiery, whether they originate from a user workstation, a networked server, or the Fiery. You can print the Job Log from the Control Panel or from the job management tools.

The printed Job Log lists accounting information about each job, including user name, document name, time and date printed, and number of pages. Windows and Mac OS users can enter job-specific notes that appear in the Job Log.

By default, the Job Log is not printed or cleared automatically. You can change these defaults in Job Log Setup. You can also print and clear the Job Log from the job management tools.

Default values for the following options, where applicable, appear in square brackets.

Auto Print Job Log Every 55 Jobs Yes/No [No]

Use this option to specify whether the Fiery prints the Job Log after every 55 jobs. Setting the Job Log for automatic printing is useful if accounting for each printed page is important at your site.

Auto Clear Job Log Every 55 Jobs Yes/No [No]

Use this option to specify whether to clear the Job Log after every 55 jobs. If you do not enable this option, and do not clear the Job Log from the Fiery or from a remote workstation, the Fiery saves a record of all jobs.

NOTE: If Auto Print Job Log is set to No, setting this option to Yes has no effect.
