xi About this manual

Introduction

This manual is intended for anyone who is responsible for integrating the Fiery X3e
into a business environment that includes networked personal computers. After setting
up the Fiery X3e and client workstations, individual users can print to the Fiery X3e as
a high-performance PostScript or PCL printer.

This manual describes how to set up network servers and clients to use the Fiery X3e
and how to install user software and set up printing from Microsoft Windows and
Apple Mac OS computers. For general information on using the copier, your
computer, your software, or your network, see the manuals that accompany those
products.

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery X3e, 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 X3e on the network

When the Fiery X3e is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript
printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery X3e supports the following
network protocols:

•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 (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each
other) 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 X3e to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator
has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

•Physically connecting the Fiery X3e to a functioning network

• Configuring the network server

• Setting up the Fiery X3e

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 X3e—obtain cable, route it to the location where
the Fiery X3e 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 X3e as a PCL or PostScript printer. For information on
configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see

Chapter 2.

Configure the Fiery X3e 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 X3e over the network. These steps are described in the

Installation Guide

•Administering the Fiery X3e

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise.

Command WorkStation software, connect it to
the network.

Configure UNIX, Windows NT 4.0/2000, and IPX
(Novell) servers to specify Fiery X3e print queues
and Fiery X3e users.

No special configuration of AppleShare servers
is required.

On the Fiery X3e Control Panel, configure, at a
minimum, the Server Setup, Network Setup, and
Printer Setup. Configure the remaining Setups.

At each computer from which users print to
the Fiery X3e:

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

•Install Fiery® utilities and an Internet browser
for those computers that will use them.

•Verify the Fiery X3e 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.

If your network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,
combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols
(shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection
from the Fiery X3e with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be
operational at the same time.

The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

Ethernet connection

For Ethernet connections, the Fiery X3e 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
Fiery X3e.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery X3e 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 BOARD

• Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the Fiery X3e.

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

Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet or Token Ring, the Fiery X3e 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 X3e with

Command WorkStation or other Fiery utilities.

TO USE PARALLEL CABLE

1. With the Fiery X3e and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to
the parallel port of the Fiery X3e.

For the location of the parallel port, see the illustration on page 1-10.

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

3. Turn on the computer and the Fiery X3e.

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 servers—that share
printing to the Fiery X3e. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP
protocols for communicating with the Fiery X3e. In addition, it includes guidelines for
setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations or
UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the
requirements for users to print to the Fiery X3e and run Fiery utilities and Fiery
WebTools.

The Fiery X3e can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0/2000,
and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
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
environment (see “Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP”
in the following section).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000, proceed to the following section.
For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 2-16.

Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP

When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP computer is configured to connect to the
Fiery X3e using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery X3e. If the computer shares
the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows 9x/Me and
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP clients. Client computers print to the Fiery X3e by
printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000 print server. You can then monitor and control
printing at the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server computer.

Typical system combinations are:

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

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and Windows 9x/Me

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

running Windows 9x/Me

2-2 Setting up Network Servers

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and any workstations that will

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

The Windows NT 4.0/2000 server can also use AppleTalk protocols to print to the
Fiery X3e as an alternative to TCP/IP.

NOTE: When you create a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not “capture” the

printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server, rather than directly
to the printer. If you capture the printer, Fiery X3e print connections will not appear
in the Mac OS Chooser.

Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP 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 workstations, note
the following:

print to it or run the Fiery utilities.

• In Fiery X3e Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for the Fiery X3e.

You can enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign
them dynamically.

• Make sure the Fiery X3e name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or
hosts name database used by your system.

• Make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery X3e
as a remote printer.

For more information, see page 2-17.

•For Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, install the appropriate printer driver files (PCL or
PostScript) on the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server.

For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery X3e.

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

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

Adding the Fiery X3e to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000 servers, and
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the
network also includes UNIX workstations, see the procedures on page 2-17.

2-4 Setting up Network Servers

TO ADD THE FIERY X3E TO A TCP/IP NETWORK

WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000 SERVER

1. Register the IP address of the Fiery X3e in the host name database used
by your system.

For installations that do not have a network administrator or central host name
database, add the Fiery X3e to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server.
Also add it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use
the Fiery utilities.

The Windows NT 4.0/2000 hosts file provides compatibility with the UNIX hosts
file. The hosts file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has
the same format as the /etc/hosts file on UNIX servers. The format of the hosts
entry is:

IP Address<TAB>host name<TAB>#comments

<TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.

where

To determine the IP address and server name of your system, print a Configuration
page (see page page 7-8).

NOTE: If the Fiery X3e has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host

name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, we recommend you use the
same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the

/etc/printcap file.

2. Perform Fiery X3e Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery X3e, subnet mask, and
gateway address).

Installing the Fiery X3e 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 X3e. However, if you are an administrator running a
Windows NT 4.0/2000 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP computer, 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 X3e to
print through the server.

2-5 Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP

2

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery X3e printer files.
If you have not yet installed the Fiery X3e printer files on the Windows NT 4.0/2000
print server computer, do so now, following the instructions in the User Software

Installation Guide. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the

Fiery X3e.

If you have already installed the Fiery X3e printer files on the computer you are using
as a Windows NT 4.0/2000 print server, see your Windows documentation for
information about sharing the Fiery X3e.

If more than one Fiery X3e 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 you and other users can print to each connection directly.
When prompted to specify the printer name, enter a name that indicates the Fiery X3e
print connection.

Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server

Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server is already using a network protocol to
communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery X3e if it has been
shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server, or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP 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 as the server uses to communicate with the
Fiery X3e.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY X3E SHARED

BY

A WINDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER

•For Windows 9x/Me clients: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/2000
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 the User Software Installation

Guide.

•For Windows NT 4.0 Workstation clients: Before printing, connect to the print server
computer and select the Fiery X3e. Right-click and choose Open.

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

2-6 Setting up Network Servers

•For Windows 2000/XP clients: Before printing, install the printer driver with the User
Software CD and configure the port.

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 unavailable for changing.
When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0/2000
print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery X3e. The job
is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can
track it in the Fiery X3e window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000
print server.

Configuring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0 server

If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server, Windows 9x/Me and
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations can still print to the Fiery X3e. This method
of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment,
computers running Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstations
operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery X3e
when users send print jobs.

Many of the prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0/2000
server also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is not present. The
prerequisites are summarized in the following list. More details are available in your
Microsoft documentation.

• Print a Configuration page (see page 7-8).

Use the information on this page to determine the current Fiery X3e settings.

• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer (for Windows 9x/Me, load File and
printer sharing for Microsoft Network. For Windows 2000/XP load Client for Microsoft
Networks).

•Verify the Workgroup name of the computer in the Windows Network control panel.

Make sure the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in Fiery X3e Setup.

•For Windows 9x/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.

configure the computer to allow file sharing, and then restart the computer.

Fiery X3e on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network

The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery X3e support the following network
operating environments:

•NetWare 4.x or 5.x—NDS (Novell Directory Services)

•Servers running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in bindery emulation mode

For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported.

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.

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare 4.x
or 5.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a
NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in native mode.

NetWare clients print to the Fiery X3e 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 X3e can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet network
topologies. During Fiery X3e Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used
for communication between the Fiery X3e 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.

2-8 Setting up Network Servers

•A minimum connection to the Fiery X3e consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare

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

• The Fiery X3e 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 X3e.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the Fiery X3e is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer
on the network.

The Fiery X3e with IPX connections has the following characteristics:

print server, and a NetWare queue.

simultaneously.

Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery X3e

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 X3e 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 X3e after you create or remove a queue.

2-9 Fiery X3e on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network

2

When the Fiery X3e 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 X3e. For example, jobs
from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery X3e 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 4.x server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare file server so networked users
can print to the Fiery X3e from their workstations, and the Fiery X3e 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 4.x installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 2-11).

•For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 2-11).

•For NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a file server, print server, and print

queue for the Fiery X3e (see page 2-12).

With bindery services, you can route all Fiery X3e print jobs through the same
NetWare file server, or you can configure more than one file server to handle
Fiery X3e jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, the Fiery X3e, 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 center column, then the right column.

2-11 Fiery X3e on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network

2

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 X3e, 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 4.x bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery X3e. If you need to connect
additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation. You can
connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery X3e.

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 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to
the Fiery X3e, 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 X3e 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.

2-12 Setting up Network Servers

2

Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery

For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and print queue for
the Fiery X3e 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 then you
can select them in Network Setup (see page 4-17).

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 2-9).

NOTE: For printing to the Fiery X3e, 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 X3e.

After the Novell server and the Fiery X3e 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 9x/Me workstations, loading both the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol
and the Client for NetWare Networks from the Network Control Panel.

On Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations, installing 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 X3e as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer

driver and the Fiery X3e 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 X3e.

•Installing Fiery X3e software.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide.

2-13 Fiery X3e on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

2

Fiery X3e on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

The Fiery X3e supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the
TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery X3e takes
advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing,
the Fiery X3e supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS
(Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see

“Fiery X3e on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network” on page 2-7.

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 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
computers.

During Fiery X3e Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for
communication between the Fiery X3e 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 5.x networks

Setting up the Fiery X3e in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other
PostScript printer on the network. Refer to the following information when setting up
the Fiery X3e in such an environment:

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and for any workstations that
will print to it or run Fiery utilities.

• In Fiery X3e Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for Fiery X3e. 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 X3e.

2-14 Setting up Network Servers

2

Configuring a NetWare 5.x server for printing

Before you begin

The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x
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 5.x service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an NDPS
Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

In Fiery X3e Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP (page 4-11) and LPD
printing (page 4-17) on the Fiery X3e. You can ping the Fiery X3e (page 2-18) to
verify that TCP/IP communication is successful.

Setting up the Fiery X3e printer driver

You first need to create a directory for Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP or a folder for
Windows 9x/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/XP

1. Log on to the Novell file server as a superuser or Administrator.

2. In the SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\NT4/2000/XP directory, create a directory called Fiery.

3. From the User Software CD, copy the contents of the
ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_NT/2000/XP folder to the Fiery directory.

TO SET UP THE PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 9X/ME

1. Log on to the Novell file server as a superuser or Administrator.

2. In the SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\Win9x/Me directory, create a folder called Fiery.

3. From the User Software CD, copy the contents of the
ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_9x/Me folder to the Fiery directory.

Fiery X3e on a network with UNIX workstations

When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and connected to the
Fiery X3e over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the Fiery X3e.

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 Fiery 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 X3e can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from
all workstations on the network.

Tips for experts—UNIX workstations

Setting up the Fiery X3e in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting
up any printer or new device:

•A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery X3e as well as for each workstation on
the network.

•A name must be selected for the Fiery X3e that goes with the IP address.

• The IP address of the Fiery X3e must be registered for the network in a host database,
and also on the Fiery X3e itself.

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

2-17 Fiery X3e on a network with UNIX workstations

• The Fiery X3e is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.

• The Fiery X3e has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with

The following information applies especially to the Fiery X3e:

it successfully.

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 X3e must be one of the following:

print
hold

The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0/2000
Server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation to connect to the Fiery X3e over
TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0/2000
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.

Setting up the Fiery X3e on TCP/IP networks

Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery X3e, must have a
unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to
obtain an address for the Fiery X3e. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print
directly to the Fiery X3e as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0/2000
server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Since the Fiery X3e spools jobs
and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between
a workstation and the Fiery X3e. 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.

2-18 Setting up Network Servers

TO SET UP FIERY X3E PRINTING ON UNIX SYSTEMS

1. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery X3e Server Setup.

To access Fiery X3e Setup, see page 4-3.

2. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery X3e Network Setup.

Enter a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery X3e.

3. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery X3e Printer Setup.

Publish the Print queue and/or Hold queue.

TO SET UP TCP/IP FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE FIERY X3E

1. A superuser (with root login) must add the Fiery X3e 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 X3e name you assigned.

3. Make the Fiery X3e 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
computer on the network, at the command prompt, type:

ping <IP address>

Type the Fiery X3e IP address assigned in Fiery X3e Network Setup.

After the Fiery X3e is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave
to the Fiery X3e:

ping <hostname>

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

TO PRINT TO THE FIERY X3E

• On a UNIX system running SunOS 4.x or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the Fiery X3e.

• 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 X3e.

• Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to
the Fiery X3e from their applications or from a command prompt.

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

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 workstation that has TCP/IP protocols loaded,
you can use Command WorkStation or Fiery Downloader™ to download fonts and
files.

You can also use the job management tools to manage jobs from remote workstations.
For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

Even without the Fiery utilities, you can:

•Set up the Fiery X3e to print a log of printed jobs automatically after every 55 jobs

(see Job Log Setup on page 4-48).

•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

3

Chapter 3:
Preparing for
Fiery X3e Setup

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery X3e 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 X3e system
software is structured in order to configure and use the Fiery X3e system correctly.

Levels of access and control

When you configure the Fiery X3e 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 X3e 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 X3e 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, Fiery Spooler™, and Fiery WebSpooler™.

Fiery X3e print connections

The Fiery X3e 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 X3e 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 X3e Setup

3

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.

To use the Fiery utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one of the print
connections.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery X3e 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 X3e 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 X3e, but only when the
Fiery X3e is Idle. If the Fiery X3e is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until
the Fiery X3e 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 X3e 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 X3e, you must publish the Direct connection.

3-3 Levels of access and control

3

Passwords

You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery X3e functions.
The Fiery X3e allows you to set the following passwords in Setup:

•Administrator—remotely from WebSetup or Command WorkStation, or locally

from the Control Pane

•Operator—from Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery X3e. 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 X3e 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 X3e of all job data, performing calibration,
defining default color profiles, and setting default values for print options.

When performing a function from the Fiery X3e Control Panel that prompts you for
the Administrator password, you must enter it promptly. Otherwise, the Fiery X3e
Control Panel returns to Idle, and you must start over again.

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 X3e state.

3-4 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

3

WebTools

The Fiery X3e supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and
Mac OS computers. To enable 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 X3e.

•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™, WebSpooler, WebLink™, WebScan™ WebDownloader™,
WebSetup™, and Installer™.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and
printing on the Fiery X3e. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see
the Printing Guide.

WebSpooler

The WebSpooler interface is very similar to that of Command WorkStation. It allows
remote users to preview, manipulate, reorder, reprint, and delete jobs currently
spooling, processing, or printing on the Fiery X3e. It also allows the administrator and
operator to edit and merge jobs (Thumbnails A and B) and view, print, or delete the
Job Log.

WebSpooler access can be controlled by setting an Operator password in Setup. If you
set a password, only users with that password can manipulate jobs from WebSpooler. A
user who does not have the password can still log in to WebSpooler as a Guest with
view-only access (see page 3-3). For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

3-5 Levels of access and control

3

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.

WebScan

With WebScan, you can retrieve scanned documents from a computer on the Internet
or your organization’s intranet. It is not affected by passwords. For more information,
see the Printing Guide.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF files directly to
the Fiery X3e without first opening the file in an application. It is not affected by
passwords.

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery X3e 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.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows users to download installers for printer drivers directly
from the Fiery X3e. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see the

User Software Installation Guide.

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 X3e, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink address, performing calibration,
printing to all Fiery X3e 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 X3e print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management
tools.

3. An administrator and an operator

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 all Fiery X3e print connections.

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; no access to WebTools.

About Setup

Setup configures the Fiery X3e to communicate with other devices and manage print
jobs. You must perform Setup the first time you turn on the Fiery X3e after new
system software is loaded, or any time Server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup
using default settings is adequate for allowing users to print to the Fiery X3e and use
the WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can
change Setup options accordingly.

3-8 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

3

The first time you perform Setup, you must use the Fiery X3e 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 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 X3e uses default settings. You
need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Network server setup requirements

For Novell, and Windows NT 4.0/2000 (using TCP/IP) networks, you must configure
the network servers for printing to the Fiery X3e before you configure Fiery X3e
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 X3e can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the configuration of the Fiery X3e, the copier, 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 make changes
to other Setup options, as well.

NOTE: You must configure the Fiery X3e with the correct Windows NT/2000

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

NOTE: The Fiery X3e does not support the Windows 2000 Active Directory Service.

When you use the Fiery X3e in a Windows 2000 server environment, assign the
Fiery X3e to a Domain or Workgroup.

Ensuring the copier connection

Complete the following steps before you configure the Fiery X3e and the workstations
that will print to the Fiery X3e. A service technician will have performed some initial
installation.

Network Setup options

When you perform Network Setup, you configure the Fiery X3e to receive print jobs
over the network systems that are used at your site.

In the Setup menu, choose Network Setup, where you specify network addresses and
names to be used by workstations, servers, and the Fiery X3e when they communicate
with each other.

The Network Setup menu includes three submenus that allow you to choose port
types, protocols, and network services. You must perform Port Setup and enable at
least one port.

For each item you enable, you are prompted to enter settings for that item. Default
values, where applicable, appear in this manual with square brackets.

You should display and select options only for the network systems that are currently
used at your site. If your network requirements change, you can change Network
Setup at any time.

If the Fiery X3e is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically
switches to the correct protocol when it receives a print job. When the parallel port
and one or two network ports are enabled, print jobs can be received over all of those
ports at the same time.

Yes/No [No]

Select Yes if you want to print through the parallel port. You can connect a single
Windows computer to the parallel port and print directly to the Fiery X3e.

Port Timeout in Seconds
5–60 [5]

This option appears only if Enable Parallel Port is set to Yes. Your setting determines
how long (in seconds) the Fiery X3e waits without receiving data from the parallel port
before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the Fiery X3e
cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to receive
network print jobs.

Ignore EOF Character
Yes/No [Yes]

This option appears only if Enable Parallel Port is set to Yes. This option specifies that
the Fiery X3e should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages in a file. This option must be
set to Yes to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal
circumstances, it should be set to No. When this option is set to Yes, the Fiery X3e uses
the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file has been reached.
If you experience printing problems, set this option to No.

NOTE: If you use a PC with Windows XP or Windows 2000, printing over the parallel

port may succeed but you may need to install and use a utility that fixes ECP mode.

Color Setup options

Color Setup allows you to set defaults the Fiery X3e uses to control color 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 Color Setup.

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

Color 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.

TO ACCESS COLOR SETUP OPTIONS

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 color space used to control color for conversion from monitor
to printed output. EFIRGB is based on the reference points used in the creation of the
Fiery X3e 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 color rendering dictionary (CRD) defines how colors are converted from the RGB
color space to device CMYK. Photographic, designed for images, retains the relative
balance between colors to maintain the overall appearance of the image. Presentation,
designed for bright colors, 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 color 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 color correction to simulate printed output on a commercial
press, so that the Fiery X3e 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 X3e
have the designation “EFI” after their names.

If users create and load custom simulations on the Fiery X3e 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

Color Guide.

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

Quick simulation assumes that the copier toners match the printer’s inks, and all
changes affect only one color (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 color 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 profile.

RGB Separation
Output/Simulation [Output]

This option defines how the Fiery X3e 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.

Pure Black Text/Graphics
On/Off [On]

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

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

Black Overprint
On/Off [On]

With this option On, black text overprints on colored backgrounds. With this option
Off, black text knocks out color backgrounds. Generally this option should be On.
For more information, see the Color Guide.

Spot Color Matching
On/Off [On]

With this option On, the Fiery X3e uses an internal lookup table to print the best
equivalents of PANTONE colors. With this option Off, PANTONE colors are printed
using the CMYK values defined in the original applications. For more information, see
the Color Guide.
