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:

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.

2-3 Levels of access and control

Passwords

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

• Administrator—from the Control Panel, Fiery WebSetup or the

Command WorkStation

• Operator—from Fiery WebSetup or the Command WorkStation

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. It is strongly recommended 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, clearing the Fiery X3e of all job data, performing calibration, and setting the WebLink destination.

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.

2-4 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

Fiery WebTools

The Fiery X3e can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable use of Fiery 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.

Instead of manually assigning the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, you can use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to assign some or all of these addresses (see page 3-11).

Passwords can be set to control access to Fiery WebTools features. If you do not speciﬁcally set these passwords, all users have access to all Fiery WebTools functions (see page 2-3).

Fiery WebTools include Status, WebSpooler, Installer, WebDownloader, WebSetup, WebScan, and WebLink.

Status

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

WebSpooler

The WebSpooler interface is very similar to that of the Command WorkStation. WebSpooler 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 to view, print, or delete the Job Log.

2-5 Levels of access and control

Fiery 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 Fiery WebSpooler. A user who does not have the password can still log in to Fiery WebSpooler as a Guest with view-only access (see page 2-3). For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows users to download printer ﬁles installers directly from the Fiery X3e. It is not affected by any password setting. For more information, see Getting Started.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to download PostScript, PDF, and EPS ﬁles directly to the Fiery X3e without ﬁrst opening the ﬁle in an application.

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery X3e Setup options from a remote workstation. For more information, see Chapter 4.

NOTE: Fiery WebSetup is supported on Windows computers only. To access WebSetup,

you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or 5.5 with Java enabled.

WebScan

With WebScan, you can scan documents directly to the copier.

WebLink

WebLink provides all users with a link to a pre-set Fiery WebLink destination. To change the WebLink destination, see page 5-17. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set. See “Passwords” on page 2-3.

NOTE: If no Administrator password has been set, any user can change the WebLink

destination, which affects all users. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you set an Administrator password.

2-6 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

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

2. A designated administrator but no designated operator

Control level scenarios

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

NOTE: It is strongly recommended 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 destination, 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. A designated administrator and a superuser 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.

2-7 Levels of access and control

4. A designated administrator and a designated operator, no Fiery WebTool access

2-8 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

About Setup

Setup conﬁgures the Fiery X3e to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. It is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery X3e is powered on after new system software is loaded or after server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate for getting the Fiery X3e to reach Idle status, but not for full functionality. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can change Setup options accordingly.

Initial Setup must be performed at the Fiery X3e Control Panel. Conﬁgure at least Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that order. Afterwards, you can complete or change most Setup options from a Windows computer using the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup.

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows NT (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must be conﬁgured for printing to the Fiery X3e before you conﬁgure Fiery X3e network settings in Setup. The diagrams in Chapter 1 give chapter references for network server setup.

To conﬁgure network settings in Setup, you need 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 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.

3-1 About Fiery X3e Setup

Chapter 3: Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Setup is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery X3e is turned on after new system software is loaded. In this initial Setup, you (or the service technician who loads the software) choose the language to use for Fiery X3e Control Panel menus and messages.

About Fiery X3e Setup

In initial Setup, you must conﬁgure at least Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that order, from the Control Panel. If you don’t conﬁgure the remaining Setups, the Fiery X3e uses default settings. These defaults allow the Fiery X3e to reach the Idle state, but might not allow users to print to the Fiery X3e. You need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Making changes to Setup

After initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the Control Panel (page 3-2), Fiery WebSetup, or the Command WorkStation (page 4-1). Most Setup options can be set from any of these methods.

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows NT 4.0 (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must be conﬁgured for printing to the Fiery X3e before you conﬁgure Fiery X3e network settings in Setup. You need a live network connection so the Fiery X3e can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-10 give chapter references for network server setup.

You must conﬁgure the Fiery X3e with the correct Windows NT domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. You need to add the Fiery X3e to the domain from a Windows NT 4.0 server on the network using the Server Manager utility.

3-2 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

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. Likewise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the corresponding settings. Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options as well.

Fiery X3e Setup from the Control Panel

Setup performed from the Control Panel conﬁgures the Fiery X3e 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 X3e

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

• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings

• Color Setup to specify color settings

• Job Log Setup to specify how the Fiery X3e handles its log of printed jobs

The Setup menus also allow you to set an Administrator password, clear the jobs queued on the Fiery X3e, and restore the Fiery X3e to factory defaults.

Accessing Setup options

The Control Panel (on the left side of the front of the Fiery X3e) enables you to set options and view information about jobs printed to the Fiery X3e.

The start page displays information about the Fiery X3e, including the server name, current date and time, amount of memory installed in the Fiery X3e, last calibration date, network protocols enabled, and connections published.

Use Character Set Macintosh/DOS/Windows [Macintosh]

Specify whether the Control Panel and the Command WorkStation should use the Macintosh, DOS, or Windows character set for displaying ﬁlenames. This is important if ﬁlenames include accented or composite characters (such as é or æ).

For mixed-platform networks, choose the option that gives the best overall representation of the special characters you use.

Enable Printed Queue Yes/No [Yes]

Specify whether to enable the Printed queue, which creates a storage location on the Fiery X3e disk for recent jobs that were printed from the Print queue. Users with Administrator or Operator access to the job management tools can reprint jobs from the Printed queue without sending them to the Fiery X3e again. If you select No, jobs are deleted from the Fiery X3e disk immediately after they are printed.

Jobs to Save 1-99 [10]

This option appears only if Enable Printed Queue is set to Yes. Specify the number of jobs to be stored in the Printed queue. Jobs in the Printed queue take up space on the Fiery X3e hard disk. If disk space is low, use a smaller value for saved jobs.

Save Changes Yes/No [Yes]

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

3-7 Network Setup options

Network Setup options

Network Setup conﬁgures the Fiery X3e to receive print jobs over the network systems that will be 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 let you choose port types, protocols, and network services.

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 need to 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 Ethernet are enabled, print jobs can be received over all of those ports at the same time.

The available network types, and the Setup areas that pertain to them, are summarized in the following table.

This option appears only if you answered Yes to Enable Auto IP Conﬁguration. Select the protocol over which the Fiery X3e should search for its IP address. Both DHCP and BOOTP allow the Fiery X3e to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automatically. RARP obtains only the Ethernet IP address.

Depending on your network, the Fiery X3e might be assigned a different address after you reboot the Fiery X3e. With the DHCP setting, the Fiery X3e can be assigned a different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already conﬁgured properly for the protocol you select.

Auto Gateway Addr Yes/No [No]

Use this option to get the gateway address automatically for printing with TCP/IP. This option appears only if you selected DHCP or BOOTP as the protocol in the previous option.

If you select a DHCP or BOOTP protocol and later change it to RARP, you must return to Setup and set this option to No. You can then set the address manually. This is because RARP does not support automatic assignment of the gateway address.

IP Address [127.0.0.1]

Enter the Fiery X3e IP address for Ethernet. This IP address, unlike an IP address set automatically, remains the same if you reboot the Fiery X3e. You must change the default to a valid address for your network. For information about setting up printing with TCP/IP, see Chapter 5.

Service Setup options

Network Service Setup has options for TCP/IP and IPX/SPX networks.

• LPD Setup enables lpd printing on TCP/IP networks.

• For IPX/SPX networks, PServer Setup allows you to enter the names of the Novell

objects that are concerned with Fiery X3e print jobs.

• Windows Setup enables the Microsoft SMB (Server Message Block) protocol, which

supports peer-to-peer printing, also known as Windows printing or SMB printing.

• Web Services Setup enables the http protocol and the use of the Fiery WebTools.

• IPP Setup enables the Internet Printing Protocol.

PServer is a program in the Fiery X3e that can service the Novell print queues assigned to the Novell print servers you have set up for printing to the Fiery X3e. When you choose PServer Setup and enable PServer, you can set up NDS (Novell Directory Services), Bindery Services, or both. NDS is used with NetWare 4.x; Bindery Services are used with NetWare 3.x or with NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode.

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

The RGB source is the color space used to control color for conversion from screen 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.

3-35 Color Setup options

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

The CRD (color rendering dictionary) 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 Sim. Profile SWOP-Coated (EFI) / DIC (EFI)/ Euroscale (EFI)/None [SWOP-Coated (EFI)]

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 any custom simulations have been created and loaded on the Fiery X3e with ColorWise Pro Tools, they also appear in the list of simulations. A custom simulation can be selected as the default simulation. See the Color Guide for more information about custom simulations.

CMYK Sim. Method Quick/Full [Full]

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 simulation allows for more ﬂexibility in matching toner to ink and all changes interact to maintain a better color balance.

3-37 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 color output but are not required for printing.

• Job Log Setup allows you to specify whether the Fiery X3e prints and clears its log of

printed jobs automatically.

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

Fiery X3e so that casual users cannot enter the Setup menus and change Fiery X3e 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 X3e Print,

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

•

Factory Defaults clears all queued jobs and resets the Fiery X3e Setup options to the

factory defaults.

Job Log Setup

The Job Log is a record of all jobs processed or printed on the Fiery X3e, whether they originate from a user workstation, a networked server, a computer attached to the parallel port, or the Fiery X3e itself. The Job Log can be printed 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. See the Printing Guide for details.

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.

3-38 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

TO SET JOB LOG OPTIONS:

1. Scroll the main Setup menu and choose Job Log Setup.

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

3. When you have ﬁnished, save changes.

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

Auto Print Log Yes/No [No]

Use this option to specify whether the Fiery X3e 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 Log 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 X3e or from a remote workstation, the Fiery X3e saves a record of all jobs.

In addition to Auto Clearing or manual clearing from a remote workstation, the Job Log (together with all queued jobs) is also cleared when you choose Clear Server from the Functions menu, when system software is reinstalled, or when a new version of system software is installed on the Fiery X3e.

NOTE: If Auto Print Job Log Every 55 Jobs is set to No, setting this option to Yes has no

effect.

Job Log Page Size Tabloid/A3 Letter/A4 [Tabloid/A3]

Select the paper size for printing the Job Log. Regardless of page size, 55 jobs are listed on a page. The paper size used depends on the Default Paper Sizes setting in PS Setup. If the Default Paper Sizes setting is US, the Job Log is printed on tabloid or letter size paper, with tabloid the default.

3-39 Administrative functions in the Setup menu

Save Changes Yes/No [Yes]

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

Change Password

Change Password enables you to set or change the Administrator password for the Fiery X3e. Anyone with the Administrator password can modify the Setup options, and control the ﬂow and order of print jobs with the job management tools.

When the Fiery X3e is installed, there is no password. If you do not create an Administrator password, users are not required to enter a password to modify the Setup or use the administrator functions in the job management tools.

Server Setup

From this window, you can access Server Setup, Passwords, Job Log Setup, and Support.

Server Setup

Server Name—Specify a name for the Fiery X3e. This is the name that appears in the

Chooser on an AppleTalk network.

NOTE: Do not use the device name (08C-M) as the server name. Also, if you have more

than one Fiery X3e, do not give them the same name. Windows NT does not support two computers with the same name in the same workgroup or domain.

Print Start Page—Specify whether the Fiery X3e should print a start page when it is

turned on or rebooted. The Start Page displays information about the Fiery X3e, including server name, the current date and time, amount of memory installed, last calibration date, network protocols enabled, and print connections published.

4-4 Setting up the Fiery X3e from a Windows Computer

Enable Printed Queue—Specify whether to enable the Printed Queue, a storage

location on the Fiery X3e disk for recently printed jobs. You can reprint jobs from the Printed queue without sending them to the Fiery X3e again. If the Printed queue is not enabled, jobs are deleted from the Fiery X3e disk immediately after they are printed.

Jobs Saved in Printed Queue—Specify the number of jobs to be stored in the Printed

Queue. Jobs in the Printed queue take up space on the Fiery X3e hard disk.

Date & Time—Specify the system date and time, which are used on the Job Log.

Use Character Set—Specify whether the Control Panel and the job management tools

should use the Macintosh, DOS, or Windows character set for displaying ﬁlenames. This is important if a ﬁlename includes accented or composite characters (such as é or æ). For mixed-platform networks, select the setting that gives the best overall representation of the special characters you use.

Passwords

You can set, change, and remove passwords for the Fiery X3e. Keep careful track of the passwords you set for each.

Administrator—Controls access to Setup; Administrator privileges also include

Operator privileges.

Operator—Controls access to job management functions via the job management

tools.

NOTE: For more information on Fiery X3e passwords and the access privileges they

allow, see page 2-3.

4-5 Server Setup

By default, no passwords are set. If you do not speciﬁcally set passwords, all users will have access to important functions such as Setup (including setting passwords) and job control. It is strongly recommended that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the Fiery X3e from unauthorized changes to Setup.

TO SET OR CHANGE A PASSWORD:

1. Select the password you want to change.

2. Type the password in both the Enter New Password and the Verify New Password ﬁelds.

Passwords are case-sensitive and can be any combination of letters and numbers up to 19 characters. You must enter the password exactly the same way both times. The new password remains in effect until you change it again.

Job Log Setup

Auto Print Job Log Every 55 Jobs—Specify whether the Fiery X3e prints the Job Log

after every 55 jobs. The Job Log lists the last 55 jobs processed on the Fiery X3e, with accounting information about each one, including user name, document name, time and date printed, number of pages, and other job information.

4-7 Server Setup

Auto Clear Job Log Every 55 Jobs—Specify whether the Fiery X3e clears the Job

Log after every 55 jobs. If you do not turn on this option, the Fiery X3e saves a ﬁle containing a record of all jobs ever printed. Since this ﬁle takes up space on the Fiery X3e hard disk, clearing the Job Log frees up additional disk space.

You can clear the Job Log manually at any time from the job management tools. The Job Log is also cleared when you clear the Fiery X3e with the Clear Server command.

Job Log Page Size—Select the size of paper to print the Job Log on.

Support

Use the Support tab to enter names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of contact people at your organization who provide support for the Fiery X3e and the copier.

4-8 Setting up the Fiery X3e from a Windows Computer

Network Setup

Network Setup conﬁgures the Fiery X3e to receive print jobs over the networks that are used at your site. 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.

You can modify these Network Setup options:

• Ports—Ethernet and parallel

• Protocols— TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and IPX/SPX

• Print Services—NetWare printing (PServer), Windows print sharing (SMB),

LPD printing (TCP/IP), and HTTP support (WWW)

TO CONFIGURE NETWORK PORTS:

• Click the Port tab in the Network Setup dialog box.

You can adjust settings as detailed in the following sections.

4-9 Network Setup

Ethernet (Port Setup)

your network.

Parallel Port (Port Setup)

Enable Parallel Port—Select 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.

Ignore EOF Character—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this option

speciﬁes that the Fiery X3e should ignore end-of-ﬁle (EOF) messages. Check this box to print PostScript ﬁles in binary format (not ASCII); under normal circumstances, the box should not be checked. When this option is selected, the Fiery X3e uses the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the ﬁle has been reached.

Parallel Port Timeout (seconds)—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this

setting determines how long 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.

4-10 Setting up the Fiery X3e from a Windows Computer

TO CONFIGURE THE TCP/IP PROTOCOL:

• Click the Protocol1 tab in the Network Setup window.

You can change AppleTalk, IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP protocol settings for the Fiery X3e on the Protocol1 and Protocol2 tabs.

The Fiery X3e can accept jobs via TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and IPX/SPX simultaneously. To conﬁgure the Fiery X3e, choose each protocol and enter the settings for that protocol.

When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the Fiery X3e during Setup, you can allow the Fiery X3e to get these addresses automatically from a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server. First, turn on or reboot the Fiery X3e and allow it reach Idle. Next, make sure the DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server is running. Finally, perform Fiery X3e Setup.

4-11 Network Setup

Protocol Setup (TCP/IP)

Enable on Ethernet—Click to enable if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the

Fiery X3e over Ethernet cabling.

You must enable TCP/IP for Ethernet to use the Fiery WebTools over Ethernet. If you are using TCP/IP for printing from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, enabling TCP/IP here also enables you to use Fiery utilities from Windows NT 4.0 workstations using TCP/IP protocols.

IP Auto (Ethernet)—Click to allow the Fiery X3e to obtain its Ethernet IP address by

searching the network. Depending on your network and the protocol you select (DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP), the IP address can change.

Select protocol (Ethernet)—Select the protocol over which the Fiery X3e should

search for its IP address. Both DHCP and BOOTP allow the Fiery X3e to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automatically. RARP obtains only the Ethernet IP address.

IP Static (Ethernet)—Click to assign the Fiery X3e a static IP address, which will not

change.

IP Address (Ethernet)—Enter the Fiery X3e IP address for Ethernet. You must change

the default to a valid address for your network. For information about setting up printing with TCP/IP, see Chapter 5.

Subnet Mask (Ethernet)—If you need to set the subnet mask, enter one of the

following values:

• 255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128

• 255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191

• 255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191

NOTE: Be sure to conﬁrm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator

before proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.

4-12 Setting up the Fiery X3e from a Windows Computer

Gateway

If your TCP/IP network has a gateway, and users outside the gateway print to the Fiery X3e using TCP/IP, enter the gateway address. Obtain the correct gateway address from your network administrator.

IP Auto—Use this option to get the gateway address automatically for printing with

TCP/IP. This option is available only if you selected DHCP or BOOTP as the protocol.

If you select the DHCP or BOOTP protocol and later change it to RARP, you must return to Gateway Setup and enter a static Gateway address. You can then set the address manually. This is because RARP does not support automatic assignment of the gateway address.

IP Static—Use this option to set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP. If your

network uses a gateway, you must change the default to a correct gateway address for your network.

TO CONFIGURE APPLETALK:

• Click the Protocol2 tab in the Network Setup window.

4-13 Network Setup

Protocol Setup (AppleTalk)

Enable AppleTalk—Select to enable Apple Talk if you have an AppleTalk network

connected to the Fiery X3e. This setting enables the Fiery X3e to communicate over AppleTalk networks.
