Introduction

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

This manual describes how to set up network servers and clients to use the Fiery X3e Color Server 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.

OTE

The term “Fiery X3e” is used in this manual to refer to the Fiery X3e Color

Server. The name “Aero” is used in illustrations to represent the Fiery X3e. The term “Windows” is used to refer to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, wherever appropriate. “Setup” is used to refer to conﬁguring the Fiery X3e for proper performance in your network environment, including settings that affect all jobs. The administrator can perform Setup from the WebSetup and Command WorkStation.

The Fiery X3e includes support for the Fiery WebTools™ and software for Command WorkStation, which allow an operator to manage all jobs sent to the Fiery X3e. Although it may not be the case at all sites, the documentation for this product assumes the presence of an operator who controls and manages jobs sent by users from remote workstations.

Any additional connectivity or administrative features speciﬁc to the copier are described in the

Printing Guide

or the

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 (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other):

•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 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.

Page 14

1-2 Connecting to the Network

•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 3-9.

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. For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the

, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.

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.

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

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 1-11.

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/Server 2003 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/ Server 2003, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows 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/XP environment (see “Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/

Server 2003” in the following section).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, proceed to the following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 2-17.

Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003

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 clients. Client computers print to the Fiery X3e by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/Server 2003 server computer.

Windows 98/Me

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

Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows 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.

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 host 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 2-18.

•For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver ﬁles (PCL or PostScript) on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003

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.

2-4 Setting up Network Servers

Adding the Fiery X3e to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers and Windows clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-19.

TO ADD THE FIERY X3E TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003 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 2003 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/Server 2003 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

where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.

To determine the IP address and server name of your system, print a Conﬁguration page (see 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/

2-5 Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003

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 2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstation, 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.

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/ Server 2003 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/Server 2003 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 that 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.

Page 30

2-6 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server

Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 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 2003 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 2003 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery X3e.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY X3E SHARED

BY A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER

• Windows 98/Me: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 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.

• Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP: Before printing, connect to the print server computer and select the Fiery X3e. Right-click and choose the Open command.

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

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 are unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/ Server 2003 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/Server 2003 print server.

Page 31

2-7 Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003

• Print a Conﬁguration page (see page 5-36).

• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer.

Conﬁguring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server

If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, Windows 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 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations operate in a peer-topeer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery X3e when users send print jobs.

Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/Server 2003 server also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is not present. The prerequisites are summarized in the following list, and you can ﬁnd more detail in your Microsoft documentation.

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

Windows 98/Me: Load File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network. Windows 2000/XP: Load Client for Microsoft Networks.

• In the Windows Network Control Panel, verify the Workgroup name of the computer. Make sure that the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in Fiery X3e Setup.

• Windows 98/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.

Windows 2000/XP: In the Client for Microsoft Networks Properties dialog box, conﬁgure the computer to allow ﬁle sharing, and then restart the computer.

• Ping the Fiery X3e to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see page 2-19).

2-8 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery X3e on a NetWare network

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

•NetWare—NDS (Novell Directory Services)

•Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode

The term “Netware” is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.

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.

NOTE: The iPrint feature available with NetWare 6.x is not supported.

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

Page 33

2-9 Fiery X3e on a NetWare network

•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.

Page 34

2-10 Setting up Network Servers

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.

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 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 installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 2-12).

•For NetWare in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 2-12).

•For NetWare in bindery emulation, set up a ﬁle server, print server, and print queue

for the Fiery X3e (see page 2-13).

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.

2-12 Setting up Network Servers

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 bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery X3e. If you need to connect additional NetWare 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 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.

Page 37

2-13 Fiery X3e on a NetWare network

Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery

For NetWare 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 you can then select them in Network Setup.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

Before setting up client workstations for printing, perform Network Setup (see

page 4-8), and verify that the settings reﬂect the entities you created in the NetWare

administrator utilities (see page 2-10).

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 98/Me workstations, load 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, install 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, such as color reference ﬁles.

Fiery X3e on a NetWare network with NDPS

The Fiery X3e supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later 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 network” on page 2-8.

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 98/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 networks

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

• 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 the 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.

2-15 Fiery X3e on a NetWare network with NDPS

Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing with NDPS

Before you begin

The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x or later 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 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 and LPD printing on the Fiery X3e. You can ping the Fiery X3e 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 98/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/SERVER 2003

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

2. Create a directory called Fiery in the following location: SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\NT4 for Windows NT 4.0 SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\2000 for Windows 2000 SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\XP for Windows XP SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\Server 2003 for Windows Server 2003

3. From the User Software CD, copy the contents of the following folder to the Fiery directory: ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_NT for Windows NT 4.0 ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_2000 for Windows 2000 ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_XP for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

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 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.

Page 42

2-18 Setting up Network Servers

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

•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 name

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

• 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

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:

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 a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstation or Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to connect to the Fiery X3e over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/Server 2003 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.

Page 43

2-19 Fiery X3e on a network with UNIX workstations

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 2003 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.

TO SET UP FIERY X3E PRINTING ON UNIX SYSTEMS

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

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

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

Publish the Print queue, Hold queue, and/or Direct 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 Windows computer on the network, at the MS-DOS 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>

Page 44

2-20 Setting up Network Servers

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 not only to view the list of jobs and to print and remove jobs but also to download fonts and ﬁles directly to the Fiery X3e. For more information on these job management tools, see the Job

Management Guide.

Even without the Fiery utilities, you can do the following:

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

•Print a Job Log manually at any time from the Command WorkStation

Functions menu (see the Job Management Guide).

Page 45

3-1 Levels of access and control

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 hard 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 and Command WorkStation LE.

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.

Page 46

3-2 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 can enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in the queue (see page 4-7). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.

NOTE: To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery 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.

Page 47

3-3 Levels of access and control

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 Command WorkStation, or locally from the Control

Panel

•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.

Page 48

3-4 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

WebTools

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

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.

Page 49

3-5 Levels of access and control

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.

3-6 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

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

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. There is 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.

Page 52

3-8 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup

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 4-3) 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/Server 2003 (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 also make changes to other Setup options.

NOTE: You must configure the Fiery X3e with the correct Windows

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing.

NOTE: The Fiery X3e does not support the Windows 2000/Server 2003 Active

Directory Service. When you use the Fiery X3e in a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server environment, assign the Fiery X3e to a Domain or Workgroup.

Page 53

3-9 About Setup

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.

TO PREPARE FOR FIERY X3E CONFIGURATION

1. Print a copier Test Page to verify the copier is functioning normally.

2. With both the Fiery X3e and the copier turned off, connect the network cable to the Fiery X3e, as described in Chapter 1.

The network should already be installed and operational.

3. Turn on the copier and then the Fiery X3e.

Proceed to Fiery X3e Setup, described in Chapter 4.

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.
