xi About this manual
This manual is intended for anyone who is responsible for integrating the Pi7200e into a business environment that includes networked personal computers.
After setting up the Pi7200e and client workstations, individual users can print to the Pi7200e as a high-performance printer.
This manual describes how to set up network servers and clients to use the Pi7200e 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 application software, or your network, see the manuals that accompany those products.
NOTE: The term “Fiery X3e” is used in this manual to refer to the Pi7200e. 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, and Windows XP, wherever appropriate.
The following icon is used in this manual:
Indicates features that are applicable only to versions of the Pi7200e that include the optional HDD (hard disk drive).
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 Release Notes.

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network
Fiery X3e on 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:
•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 (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) 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. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery X3e is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.
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.
11-2 Connecting to the Network
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:
•Physically connecting the Fiery X3e to a functioning network
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.
•Configuring the network server
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.
•Setting up the Fiery X3e
Configure the Fiery X3e for your particular printing and network environment. 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 User Software Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.
•Administering the Fiery X3e
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.

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.
A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. For more information, see Appendix A.
NOTE: 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.

Ethernet connection
For Ethernet connections, the Fiery X3e supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) 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.
Token Ring connection
For Token Ring connections, the Fiery X3e supports an RJ-45 connector and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) with a DB-9 connector.
If the Token Ring option is installed, you cannot enable both Ethernet and Token Ring simultaneously. For more information, see Appendix A.
TO CONNECT TO THE TOKEN RING BOARD
•Connect the network cable to the proper connector on the back of the Fiery X3e.
11-13 Connecting network cable to the Fiery X3e
Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet or Token Ring, 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 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 1-10.
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 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, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP 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 environment (see “Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP” in the following section).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000, 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
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 NT 4.0/2000/XP and Windows 98/Me clients. Client computers print to the Fiery X3e by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server computer.
Typical system combinations are:
•Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000 Server; clients running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and Windows 98/Me
•Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and clients running Windows 98/Me
22-2 Setting up Network Servers
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and WebTools from a Windows computer.
The Windows NT 4.0/2000 server can also use AppleTalk protocols to print to the Fiery X3e as an alternative to TCP/IP.
NOTE: When you create a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not “capture” the printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server, rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, Fiery X3e print connections will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.
Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP 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:
•Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and any workstations that will 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 hosts 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.
22-3 Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP
•For Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, install the appropriate printer driver files (PCL or PostScript) on the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server.
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.
Configuring a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server to communicate with the Fiery X3e
To configure a Windows NT 4.0/2000 server to communicate with the Fiery X3e, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections in this chapter and in your Microsoft documentation.
•Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
•Enter the host name of the Fiery X3e in the host database used by your system (see page 2-4).
•Perform Fiery X3e Setup.
•On the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server, create a printer for each Fiery X3e print connection, install the appropriate printer drivers, and (optionally) share the printer on the network (see page 2-5).
•Enter the host name and remote printer name of the Fiery X3e in the printer connection. For more information, see page 2-18.
•If the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server is also a workstation, install Fiery utilities (see the User Software Installation Guide).
22-4 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 servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, see the procedures on page 2-18.
TO ADD THE FIERY X3E TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH
AWINDOWS NT 4.0/2000 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. 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 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 7-10).
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 that you use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the
/etc/printcap file.
2.Perform Fiery X3e Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery X3e, subnet mask, and gateway address).
