1-1 Fiery X3e on the network

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 http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets.

• 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 the 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.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

• Physically connecting the Fiery X3e to a functioning network

• Conﬁguring the network server

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 and route it to the location where the Fiery X3e will be installed and attach the cable to the network interface of the Fiery X3e.

OTE

If you plan to run the Command WorkStation software from a remote computer, you need to install the software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network. See

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the Fiery X3e as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 5 for information on conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.

Getting Started

for details.

• Setting up the Fiery X3e

Conﬁgure the Fiery X3e for your particular printing and network environment. First read Chapter 2, and then see the following 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 Getting Started, and some information is provided in Chapter 5 of this manual.

• Administering the Fiery X3e

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See Chapter 6 and the Job Management Guide for details.

Fiery X3e

UNIX Mac OS Windows

Prepare a network node. Connect the Fiery X3e to the network. If you use a computer running the Command WorkStation software, connect it to the network.

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

Install PostScript printer ﬁles on the server. No special conﬁguration of AppleShare servers is

required.

On the Fiery X3e Control Panel, conﬁgure at least the Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup. From the Control Panel, WebSetup, or the Command WorkStation, conﬁgure the remaining Setups. Calibrate the Fiery X3e.

At each workstation that will print to the Fiery X3e:

• 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 X3e in the list of printers and run a test print.

Quick path to installation

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and running 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” at the top left 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 the 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:

Connecting network cable to the Fiery X3e

In this section, the back panel of the Fiery X3e is illustrated, followed by information for connecting to the Ethernet board.

Shut down the Fiery X3e before attaching it to any network device. If the Fiery X3e has just ﬁnished processing, wait 5 seconds after the system reaches the Idle state before using the power switch to turn off the copier.

Ethernet cable connection

For connecting to Ethernet, the Fiery X3e supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) 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.

A Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable must be used for 100BaseT.

1-12 Connecting to the Network

Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, 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.

NOTE: The parallel port cannot be used to connect the Fiery X3e with the

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.

See the illustration on page 1-11 for the location of the parallel port.

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.

To print to the parallel port, you need to set up the parallel port connection. See “Parallel Port Setup options” on page 3-9. For information on setting up printing, see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the Printing Guide.

2-1 Levels of access and control

Chapter 2: Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

To prepare for printing at your site, you need to 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.

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 Fiery WebTools. The level of control you implement can range from strict to moderate to minimal—or none at all.

• Strictest 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/or operator have access to job management tools.

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

Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, and Fiery WebSpooler.

• Least 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.

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 the 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 stricter control is desired.

2-2 Preparing for Fiery X3e 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 enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in it (see page 3-6). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery X3e hard disk for printing at a later time or for repeated printing. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process without intervention via 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 from the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, you must enable either the Hold queue or the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery X3e, but only when the Fiery X3e is not processing another job. 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.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery X3e hard disk, and they 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.

You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP.

NOTE: To download fonts to the Fiery X3e, you must publish the Direct connection.
