You are ready for the instructions for connecting to your network type (see
“Completing the Windows 95 connection” below).
Completing the Windows 95 connection
To print from Windows 95 you need to:
• Set up network servers, if any
• Set up the Fiery X2e to accept print jobs from your computer
• Configure a port on each Windows 95 computer for the network or connection type
For this type of connection: See:
Parallel below
IPX/SPX page 11
IPX (Novell) page 13
SMB printing page 13
Completing the Windows 95 parallel port connection
Preparing a parallel port connection for Windows 95 requires specific BIOS settings
on your computer, and specific port and printer settings for W indo ws 95. In addition,
a change to one of the Fiery X2e Setup settings may be required if you choose to spool
files to the Fiery X2e rather than print directly.
7 Setting up the Fiery X2e as a PostScript printer
TO PREPARE THE FIERY X2E AND YOUR COMPUTER FOR PARALLEL PORT
PRINTING:
1. Connect the Fiery X2e to the parallel port on your computer.
For instructions, see the Administrator Guide.
2. In Network Setup>Port Setup>Parallel Port Setup, set Enable Parallel Port to Yes.
For more information about Fiery X2e Setup, see the Administrator Guide.
3. If you want to spool files to the Fiery X2e, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 10.
If you want to print directly to the Fiery X2e, set Port Timeout in Seconds to 5.
Setting this option to 10 seconds ensures that spooling is not interrupted due to
timeout.
4. In your computer’s BIOS settings, set Parallel Port Mode to ECP.
To access the BIOS settings, restart the computer and press the key indicated on your
monitor as soon as the computer starts up. You may have to scroll through several
screens to reach the parallel port settings. After setting the Parallel Port Mode to ECP,
save your changed setting and exit.
TO PREPARE THE PRINTER FOR PARALLEL PORT PRINTING:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Printers.
2. Click the Fiery X2e printer icon and choose Properties from the File menu.
3. Click the Details tab, and in the “Print to the following port” menu, select LPT1: (ECP
Printer Port).
N
OTE: Check this selection carefully. It may read LPT1: (Printer Port), which is not
equivalent to LPT1: (ECP Printer Port).
If this box does not read LPT1: (ECP Printer Port), change the port setting now, as
described in “To prepare the port for parallel port printing:” on page 9, and then
return to this procedure. You may need your Windows 95 system CD.

spooling is faster.
• If you set the Port Timeout in Seconds to 5, select “Print directly to the printer.”
7. Select “Disable bi-directional support for this printer” and click OK.
