Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Copier BW and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation.
Copier BW on the network
When the Copier BW is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PCL or PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Copier BW 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 Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or they can print to the Copier BW parallel port.
A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX protocols. The Copier BW is auto-sensing and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.
When you add a Copier BW to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

• Physically connecting the Copier BW to a functioning network
• Configuring network servers
• Copier BW Setup

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 Copier BW—obtain cable and route it to the location where the Copier BW will be installed (near the copier), and attach the cable to the network interface of the Copier BW. See page 1-11 for details.
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide client access to the Copier BW as a PostScript or PCL printer. See Chapter 3 for infor­mation on configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environ­ments.
Configure the Copier BW for your particular printing and network environment. See Chapter 2 for details.
• Client setup
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Copier BW over the network. These steps are described in and some information is provided in Chapter 3 of this manual.
• System administration
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See Chapter 4 for details.

servers is required.
On the Copier BW Control Panel, configure Server Setup, Network Setup, Printer Setup, PS Setup, PCL Setup, and Job Log Setup.
At each workstation that will print to the Copier BW:
• Install the appropriate printer drivers, and connect to one or more queues.
• For computers that will use the Fiery WebTools, install an Internet browser.
• Verify the Copier BW in the list of printers and run a test print.

Quick path to installation

The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and for using remote utilities. To use the diagrams, find the page with your preferred platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages and books referred to in the keys.
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. Note that multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the Copier BW with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.
Token Ring hardware is required for connection to a Token Ring network. See Appen­dix A for details. The IPX/SPX and TCP/IP functionality outlined in this section is available on both Ethernet and Token Ring networks. AppleTalk is supported on Ethernet only.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

Before you begin

The following steps should be completed before you configure the Copier BW and the workstations that will print to the Copier BW. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.
TO PREPARE FOR COPIER BW CONFIGURATION:
1. Print a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally.
2. Turn off the copier and connect the interface cable from the copier to the Copier BW.
While the Copier BW is turned off, verify that the SCSI terminator is installed on the SCSI connector on the back of the Copier BW.
3. To confirm this connection, turn on the copier and the Copier BW and print a Test Page from the Control Panel.
To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to display the Functions menu. (See “Copier BW Panel” on page 2-3.) Choose Print Pages, and then Test Page.
4. With both the copier and the Copier BW turned off, connect the network cable to the Copier BW, as described in the next section.
The network should already be installed and operational.
5. Turn on the copier and then the Copier BW.
6. Prepare network servers to share Copier BW user software and to enable networked users to print to the Copier BW, and proceed to Setup.
See Chapters 2 and 3 for details.

Ethernet cable connection

The Copier BW supports Ethernet cabling of these types:
• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base5)
Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the Copier BW.
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT or
defined as Category 3 or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT
Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Copier BW.
NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Copier BW is 100BaseTX, also known as
Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.

TO USE THICKNET CABLE:
TO USE UTP CABLE FOR 100BASET OR 10BASET:
attach cables to more than one Ethernet connector; only one Ethernet connection can be made at any one time.
1. With the Copier BW turned off, connect the thicknet cable connector to the AUI con­nector on the back of the Copier BW. Press on the latch to lock the connector.
2. Configure network servers for printing and then proceed to Setup.

2. Configure network servers for printing and then proceed to Setup.

Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the Copier BW can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed, bidirectional parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use 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.
TO USE PARALLEL CABLE:
1. With the Copier BW and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to the parallel port of the Copier BW.
See the illustration on page 1-12 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 Copier BW.
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 2-13). For information on setting up printing, see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the User Guide.

Chapter 2:
Setting up the Copier BW
The Copier BW fits into a variety of work environments. To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial configuration to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do.
About Copier BW Setup
When the Copier BW is turned on after new system software is loaded, you (or the service technician who loads the software) choose the language you want to use for Control Panel menus and messages. After that, the Server, Network, Printer, PCL, PS, and Job Log Setups, in that order, can be configured from the Control Panel.
On Novell or Windows NT (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers should be configured for printing to the Copier BW before you enter network settings on the Copier BW. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-10 give chapter references for Network Setup.
For Setup, you need a live network connection so the Copier BW can query the net­work for zones, servers, server-based queues, and other essential information. When you set an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the Copier BW during Setup, you can allow the Copier BW to get these addresses automatically.
Whenever the configuration of the Copier BW, a 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.
NOTE: Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes in more
than one Setup area.
2-2 Setting up the Copier BW

Copier BW Setup from the Control Panel
Setup, performed from the Control Panel after powering on or rebooting the Copier BW, configures the Copier BW to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs sent to it.
There are six groups of Setup options:
• Server Setup to specify system options
• Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that will transmit print jobs
to the Copier BW
• Printer Setup to specify the way print jobs and queues are managed
• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings
• PCL (Printer Control Language) Setup to specify output defaults such as font source
and paper size
• Job Log Setup to specify how the Copier BW handles its log of printed jobs
The Setup menus also allow you to set an Administrator password, restore the Copier BW settings to factory defaults, and clear the jobs queued on the Copier BW.

Accessing Setup options

The Control Panel on the front of the Copier BW enables you to set options and view information about jobs printed to the Copier BW.
It comprises the following parts:
• Display window showing status information and options for setting up the
Copier BW
• Line selection buttons
• Up and down button
• Menu button (escape)
• Activity light that indicates normal or problem activity
