Automatic PPD selection (Italian systems)

When you set up the Direct, Print, or Hold queue on Mac OS for the first time, and you
click the Create button, the correct PPD is not automatically found. Instead, the “Select a
PostScript Printer Description” window prompts you to locate the Fiery Z4 PPD.

Editing device settings

To change print defaults in a driver that was downloaded from the Fiery Z4 using WINS
printing (SMB), the permissions for the Print queue on the Fiery Z4 server must be set to
Full Control for the user “Everyone.” Once you are logged in with Administrator privileges,
you can allow a user or all users to change print defaults in the driver by enabling Full
Control in the Properties/Security/Permission tab.

Setup

Renaming the server

If you rename the server, the name must be fewer than 10 characters.

Fiery Setup

To run Setup from the Control Panel, you must log in with Administrator privileges.

Fiery Server Setup

If a connection to the Fiery Z4 fails after changing settings in the General or Printer Setup
tab of the Fiery Server Setup dialog box, the WorkGroup name and the Domain name may
be the same. To resolve this problem, use different names.

Remote Setup for Bindery and NDS

When configuring Bindery or NDS in Network Setup using WebSetup or Command
WorkStation from a client computer, enter a password in order to make changes. For
Bindery Setup, log in as Admin, Supervisor, or Guest with the appropriate password. For
NDS, select the appropriate login and password.

IPX Auto Frame Type

If you select Yes to enable IPX Auto Frame Type in Setup, the Fiery Z4 will bind only to the
first frame type it finds, which is typically 802.2. To ensure that all available frame types are
bound, select each one individually. After the Fiery reboots upon exiting Setup, print the
Configuration page to verify that all selected frame types were successfully bound.

TCP/IP and DHCP servers

In some cases, Mac OS computers may crash when attempting to obtain an IP address from
a DHCP server while loading the TCP/IP driver. Check the TCP/IP Control Panel to make
sure that you have a valid IP address and that the router and DNS server addresses are valid
before running applications such as ColorWise Pro Tools.

Windows Setup (WINS Printing) from the Fiery Z4 Control Panel

Depending on your selections for setting a domain for WINS printing, the Fiery Z4
prompts you that it will reboot. Choose OK when prompted. This allows the Fiery Z4 to
retrieve a current list of domains. Allow the Fiery Z4 to reboot and return to Setup to finish
making the settings.

Cover Page (PS Setup)

When you print a job with a Cover Page to multiple bins, the Cover Page is printed to the
last bin.

during diagnostics to display the Restore Backup menu, and select Restore Backup.

Direct, Print, and Hold queues.

Printing to the Direct connection over AppleTalk on Windows 2000 computers may cause
the Fiery Z4 to freeze.

Fiery Z4 domain configuration

In order to add the Fiery Z4 to a domain in configurations that do not include the Fiery Z4
Advanced Controller option, you need to add the Fiery Z4 from another Windows NT 4.0
server on the network using the Server Manager utility.

UNIX printing

There may be incompatibility problems with some UNIX environments.

Installing System Software with the Token Ring option

If the Fiery Z4 has the Token Ring option, remove the Token Ring board before installing
System Software. After installing System Software, replace the Token Ring board. For more
information, refer to the documentation that accompanied the Token Ring option kit.
