Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded
cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the

4. With both the copier and the Fiery X3e turned off, connect the network cable to the
Fiery X3e.

The network should be installed and operational.

5. Turn on the copier and the Fiery X3e.

Configuring the network server

If you require a network server, you must configure that server to provide client access
to the Fiery X3e as a color printer. To configure a network server in a Windows or
UNIX network environment, see the
NT/2000 (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.

Setting up the Fiery X3e from the Control Panel

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. Initial Setup must
be performed at the Fiery X3e Control Panel.

Perform the following Setup options in the order listed:

Server Setup

•

—specifies system options.

•

Network Setup

—specifies all the active network systems that transmit print jobs to

the Fiery X3e.

Printer Setup

•

:

OTE

This is the minimum setup required to enable your Fiery X3e to begin printing.

—specifies how print jobs and queues are managed.

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.

To perform Setup from the Control Panel, select one menu after another and enter
information about your Fiery X3e and your network and printing environment. In
each Setup screen, the last line of the display shows the name of the current Setup
menu.

The Configuration page lists all the settings in effect in the current Setup. Print a
Configuration page before and after running Setup, to keep a record of current copier
default settings.

11 Preparing to print

Preparing client workstations for printing

Before you can print to the Fiery X3e, you must install the appropriate printer files
from the User Software CD and connect the client to the Fiery X3e over the network.
The software provided on the User Software CD is described in the User Software

Installation Guide.

NOTE: The steps to set up printing vary slightly for Windows and Mac OS computers.

Windows computers

For all Windows operating systems supported (including Windows 98/Me,
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003), the minimum steps for
setting up printing are as follows:

•Install the printer drivers and corresponding printer driver files.

• Configure installable print options.

• Configure the print connection between the client and the Fiery X3e.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide. This manual also contains
instructions for the following:

•Installing Fiery utilities

• Configuring the connection for Fiery utilities

• Copying additional files from the User Software CD, as required

12 Quick Start Guide

Mac OS computers

To set up printing on a Mac OS computer, perform the following steps:

•Install the printer driver and PPD files.

•Set up the Fiery X3e in the Chooser.

• Configure installable print options.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide. This manual also contains
instructions for the following:

•Installing Fiery utilities

•Installing printer and screen fonts

• Configuring the connection for Fiery utilities

• Copying additional files from the User Software CD as required

Shutting down the Fiery X3e

Generally, you can leave the Fiery X3e and the copier running all the time. This section
describes how to shut down the Fiery X3e when necessary.

Shutting down the Fiery X3e

You may need to shut down the Fiery X3e for service. When you do so, fonts that have
been downloaded to the hard disk are not deleted. Print jobs in the Hold queue, the
Printed queue, and jobs that have been processed but not printed are not deleted; they
will be available for printing when you restart the Fiery X3e.

13 Safety warnings

TO SHUT DOWN THE FIERY X3E

1. Make sure that no jobs are being processed or printed (the activity light should
be off).

2. Press the Print button on the copier Control Panel.

3. In the Touch Panel, press the Menu/Esc button.

4. Use the down arrow to scroll to Shut Down.

5. Select Shut Down System.

A message will be displayed when it is safe to power off the system.

NOTE: After turning off the copier, wait at least three seconds before turning it back on.

Safety warnings

The Fiery X3e display window is a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is made of glass
and can break. Do not subject it to strong shocks.

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

Do not touch or put pressure on the panel. This will change the color of the panel.

Cleaning the Fiery X3e display window

Clean the Fiery X3e with a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol or ethyl
alcohol. Never use water or ketone, as these may permanently alter the display.

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

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

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.
