Network administration features

Fiery XJ software has several important features that affect you as a network or printer administrator:

• Direct (native) support of NDS (Novell Directory Services) with NetWare 4.x

NetWare 4.x can also be supported in bindery emulation.

• Simultaneous NetWare 4.x and NetWare 3.x connections

One NetWare 4.x NDS tree and up to eight NetWare 3.x bindery servers (or NetWare 4.x servers in bindery emulation mode) can be connected to the Fiery XJ.

xiii Before you proceed

• Fiery utilities (Fiery Spooler™ and Fiery Downloader™) for Windows and Mac OS computers

The Fiery utilities can be run from Windows 95, Windows NT, and Mac OS computers.

• Fiery WebTools™ (Status, WebSpooler, and Installer)

Fiery WebTools allow you to manage the Fiery XJ from the Internet or from your company’s intranet. To use the Fiery WebTools, you need to set certain options in Network Setup and Printer Setup.

• Job tracking

Job Logs can include two user-entered Notes fields.

• Support for Windows (SMB) printing

Windows printing, also known as SMB (Server Message B lock) printing, allows you to print on TCP/IP networks using SMB, which is built-in Microsoft networking support, and without additional network software. Printing by this method allows you to print from your computer to a particular print connection (Print or Direct) on the Fiery XJ.

Before you proceed

No two Fiery XJ sites are identical, and the Fiery XJ system can be conﬁgured to suit your site’s particular requirements for ﬂexibility or control. As the system administrator, you decide the level of network and software access that will be accessible to users. To implement these levels of access, you publish print connections and set passwords.

Before you proceed with installation and setup, make sure you understand the spectrum of access and control possible with the Fiery XJ. Then decide what level is most appropriate for your site.

Levels of access and control

The level of control you implement can range from strict to moderate to minimal, or none. Strictest 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 server disk until the operator decides it is time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and/or operator have access to certain software tools.

xiv Introduction

Least control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the local network can control all printing and server functions. Although there may be an administrator or operator charged with certain duties, all users have equal access to the system and its software tools.

When you conﬁgure the Fiery XJ by performing Setup, you (the system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling (or not enabling) printing connections, passwords, and access to Fiery WebTools.

Fiery XJ print connections

The Fiery XJ supports two print connections: Print queue and Direct connection. These print connections can be enabled, or “published,” to users on the network when you conﬁgure the server Setup.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery XJ, but only when the Fiery XJ is ready to print. If the Fiery XJ is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery XJ is ready. It is then processed as soon as the prior job is ﬁnished and before the next queued job is processed.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stor ed on the Fiery XJ hard disk and do not appear in the display of current jobs seen from Fiery Spooler or Fiery WebSpooler; 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.

OTE

To use the Fiery utilities, including downloading fonts with Fiery Downloader,

you must publish the Direct connection.

Print queue

If you publish the Print queue, jobs sent to it are processed and printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized b y an operator at Fiery Spooler or Fiery W ebSpooler or jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

xv Before you proceed

Passwords

You can implement password requirements as a means of controlling access to Fiery XJ functions. The Fiery XJ allows for the Administrator password to be set from the Control Panel.

OTE

By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery XJ. 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), calibration, and job control. It is strongly recommended that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the server from random or accidental changes to Setup.

Administrator password 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, and clearing the server of all job data.

Guest privileges (No password)

No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from Fiery Spooler or Fiery WebSpooler. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the server’s state (for example, calibration).

Fiery WebTools

The Fiery XJ can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers. To enable use of Fiery WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:

• Set Enable TCP/IP to Yes.

• Set an IP address for the Fiery XJ.

• Set a subnet mask.

• Enter a TCP/IP gateway address.

• Set Enable Web Services to Yes.

xvi Introduction

Fiery WebTools include Status, WebSpooler, and Installer.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery XJ. It is not affected by any password setting. For more information, see the User Guide.

WebSpooler

The WebSpooler allows remote users to preview, manipulate, reorder, reprint, and delete jobs currently spooling, processing, or printing on the Fiery XJ. It also allows the administrator to view, print, or delete the Job Log.

Installer

The Installer WebT ool allows users to do wnload printer ﬁles installers directly from the server. It is not affected by any password setting. For more information, see Getting Started.

Control level scenarios

Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from least control to strictest control, are described below. Choose the scenario that best matches your site requirements, and then refer to the corresponding number for guidance on how to conﬁgure your system for those requirements.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you set at least an Administrator password to

prevent unauthorized changes to system settings.

1. (Least control—not recommended) No designated administrator or operator

All users have equal access to all system functions including Setup, clearing the server, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink destination, performing calibration, printing to all three Fiery XJ print connections, and managing all jobs from remote workstations.

2. A designated administrator

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, but all other system functions are accessible to all users, including performing calibration, printing to all three Fiery XJ print connections, and managing all jobs from remote workstations.

xvii Before you proceed

3. (Strictest control) A designated administrator and a designated operator, no Fiery WebTool access

Only an administrator can perform Setup, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from a remote workstation; users can print to the 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; no access to Fiery WebT ools.

Use these settings:

Enable Direct connection in Setup ÖÖ Enable Print queue in Setup ÖÖ Ö Enable Web Services in Setup ÖÖ Set an Administrator Password in Setup ÖÖ

1-1 Fiery XJ on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery XJ BP100 Color Server, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. If you check those references, you should be able to ﬁnd the information you need quickly.

Fiery XJ on the network

When the Fiery XJ is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery XJ 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 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, or they can print to the Fiery XJ parallel port. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery XJ is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add the Fiery XJ to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

• Physically connecting the Fiery XJ to a functioning network

• Conﬁguring the network server

• Setting up the Fiery XJ

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 XJ—obtain cable and route it to the location where the Fiery XJ will be installed (near the copier) and attach the cable to the network interface of the Fiery XJ. See page 1-11 for details.

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the Fiery XJ as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 3 for information on conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.

Conﬁgure the Fiery XJ for your particular printing and network environment. First read “Before you proceed” in the Introduction, and then see Chapter 2 for details.

• Preparing client workstations for printing

Install the ﬁles needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Fiery XJ over the network. These steps are described in Getting Started, and some information is provided in Chapter 3 of this manual.

• Administering the Fiery XJ

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See Chapter 4 and the User Guide for details.

Quick path to installation

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and running 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” at the top left 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 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 Fiery XJ 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. Token Ring drivers for the card are already built in to the F iery XJ system software. See Appendix A for information about Token Ring.

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.

1-12 Connecting to the Network

Ethernet cable connection

The Fiery XJ supports Ethernet cabling of three types:

• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base2)

Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.

• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base5)

Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) deﬁned as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT, or 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 Fiery XJ.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery XJ 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.

2-1 About Fiery XJ Setup

Chapter 2:

Performing Setup from the Control Panel

The Fiery XJ BP100 Color Server 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 Fiery XJ Setup

Setup is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery XJ is turned on after new system software is loaded. In this initial Setup, you (or the service technician who loads the software) choose the language you want to use for Control Panel screens.

Initial Setup from the Control Panel

In initial Setup, you must conﬁgure at least Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that order, from the Control Panel.

If you don’t configure the remaining Setups, the Fiery XJ uses default settings. These defaults allow the Fiery XJ to reach the Idle state, but might not allow users to print to the Fiery XJ. You need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Network server setup requirements

On NetWare or Windows NT 4.0 networks, the network servers must be conﬁgured for printing to the Fiery XJ before you enter network settings on the Fiery XJ. The diagrams on pages 1-4 through 1-9 give chapter references for network server setup.

You need a live network connection so that the Fiery XJ can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the conﬁguration of servers, printers, 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 menu.

2-2 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Fiery XJ Setup from the Control Panel

Setup, performed from the Control Panel right after powering on or rebooting the Fiery XJ, conﬁgures the Fiery XJ 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 Fiery XJ

• Printer Setup to specify the way print jobs and queues are managed

• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings

• Color Setup to specify color settings

Fiery XJ print connections

In Fiery XJ Printer Setup you decide how the Fiery XJ manages print jobs by deciding which print connections should be “published” to users over the network. All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. If you don’t want users to print to a connection, don’t publish it.

The Fiery XJ publishes two types of connections: the Direct connection and the Print queue. At least one connection to the Fiery XJ must be published.

Direct connection

Jobs are transmitted to the F iery XJ Direct connection only when the Fiery XJ is ready to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the Fiery XJ is ready, and are processed as soon as a prior job is ﬁnished, before the next queued job is processed.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery XJ hard disk. The jobs appear in display of current jobs in Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery Spooler, but they cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. If you plan to download fonts to the Fiery XJ via the network, you must publish the Direct connection.

NOTE: You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. You can,

however, use the Direct connection for downloading fonts.

Queues

A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print jobs are being sent to the Fiery XJ. When a job is printed to a queue on the Fiery XJ, it is stored on the Fiery XJ hard disk rather than the user’s hard disk, quickly freeing up the user’s workstation.

Remote users can print only to published connections. However, job storage areas for all queues exist on the server, so that administrators or other users of Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery Spooler can move or copy jobs to the Print queue, whether or not the Print queue is published.

The Fiery XJ hard disk supports up to two queues (Print and Printed). Users may print to only the Print queue.

2-35 Printer Setup options

• Print queue—This is the standard Fiery XJ queue. The F iery XJ prints jobs from the

Print queue in the order in which they were received.

• Printed queue—The Printed queue is a job storage area on the Fiery XJ disk; it con-

tains the most recent jobs printed from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. A Server Setup option enables this queue and governs the maximum number of jobs retained in it at any given time (see page 2-9). Reprinting jobs in this queue requires Fiery WebSpooler or Fiery Spooler.

Paper Sizes US/Metric [US]

Specify whether to print on US paper sizes (for example, letter, legal, tabloid), or Metric paper sizes (for example, A4, A3) by default. When no page size is deﬁned within a PostScript ﬁle, jobs are printed on Letter paper if you selected US, or A4 paper if you selected Metric.

Convert Paper Sizes No Letter/11x17->A4/A3 A4/A3->Letter/11x17 [No]

Specify whether to convert paper sizes in documents automatically to the default paper sizes speciﬁed. For example, if you selected Letter/11x17->A4/A3, a letter size document would automatically be printed on A4 paper. If you select No, the server only prints the document if it ﬁnds a media source in the size speciﬁed by the ﬁle.

Print Cover Page No/Yes [No]

Use this option to specify whether the Fiery XJ prints a cover (job summary) page at the end of each print job. If you select Yes, each print job is followed by a page containing the name of the user who sent the job, the document name, the server name, the time the job was printed, the number of pages printed, and the status of the job. If a PostScript error occurr ed and the Print to PS Error option is set to Yes, the status entry will be the PostScript error message.

Allow Courier Substitution Yes/No [Yes]

Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are unavailable when you download PostScript ﬁles to the Fiery XJ, or when you print a document for which you do not have the corresponding printer font. If this option is set to No, jobs with fonts that are not available on the Fiery XJ hard drive generate a PostScript error and do not print.

Color Setup options

Color Setup allows you to set the parameters the Fiery XJ uses to control color output. Most of these parameters can be overridden on a job-by-job basis. See the User Guide for more information.

Simulations, or press simulations, allow you to use the copier as a proofing device for jobs that will print on an offset press. Because the range of colors available on the copier is different from that of a press, the Fiery XJ can adjust the color so that the output falls within the range of colors a press can produce.

The Fiery XJ uses a default simulation for SWOP-Coated output. You can change the simulation target by downloading a file from the User Software CD to the Fiery XJ. The other simulations available are Euroscale (the European press standard) and DIC (the Japanese press standard). See the User Guide for more information.

3-1 Fiery XJ on an IPX network

Chapter 3: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share printing to the Fiery XJ. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery XJ. In addition, it includes some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the requirements for network clients to print to the Fiery XJ and to run the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools.

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, skip to page 3-18. For information on UNIX workstations, skip to page 3-27.

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.

Fiery XJ on an IPX network

The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery XJ supports the following network operating environments:

• NetWare 4.x—NDS (Novell Directory Services)

• NetWare 3.x—Bindery services

• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell ﬁle server running NetWare 3.x, or running NetWare 4.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native mode.

NetWare clients print to the Fiery XJ through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in Getting Started, and printing is described in the User Guide.

3-2 Setting up Network Servers

The Fiery XJ can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0 or UNIX workstations. NetWare clients on Mac OS or Windows NT 4.0 computers can print either via the NetWare server or directly.

The Fiery XJ can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. (Appendix A describes the Token Ring option.) During Fiery XJ Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery XJ 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.

In addition to printing, Fiery Downloader is available to Windows 95 users only via IPX/SPX and to Windows NT 4.0 users only via TCP/IP. Fiery Spooler is available to both Windows 95 and NT 4.0 users only via TCP/IP. With Fiery Downloader, Windows 95 workstations are communicating with the Fiery XJ directly, not through the NetWare server.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the Fiery XJ is similar to setting up another PostScript printer on the network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators need.

The Fiery XJ with IPX connections has these characteristics:

• Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also supported through bindery emulation.

• A minimum connection to the Fiery XJ consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.

• A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be conﬁgured simultaneously.

This limit is the same regardless of whether the Fiery XJ is connected to the network via Ethernet, via Token Ring, or both.

3-3 Tips for experts—IPX networks

• The Fiery XJ 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 XJ.

• Windows 95 workstations (whether a Novell server is present or not) can use IPX/SPX protocols for communicating with the Fiery XJ directly to use Fiery Downloader.

However, Windows 95 users must use Fiery Spooler via TCP/IP only.

Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery XJ

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.

The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection and Print queue on the Fiery XJ. The NetWare queue names should be given an extension corresponding to the Fiery XJ print connection, as follows:

_print _direct

NOTE: The extension names must be in all lowercase and must be in English.

There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however you should reboot the Fiery XJ after a queue is created or removed.

When the Fiery XJ 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 XJ. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery XJ Print queue, and so on. 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.

3-4 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare ﬁle server so that networked users can print to the Fiery XJ from their workstations, and the Fiery XJ 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.

• 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 4.x installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 3-6).

• For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 3-9).

• For NetWare 3.x and for NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a ﬁle server, a

print server, and a print queue for the Fiery XJ (see page 3-12).

With bindery services, you can route all Fiery XJ print jobs through the same NetWare ﬁle server, or you can conﬁgure more than one ﬁle server to handle Fiery XJ jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, on the Fiery XJ, and on the client workstation, are summarized in the following tables. The ﬁrst table applies to NDS connections, the second to bindery connections.

Complete the operations in the left column, then the center column, then the right column.

3-6 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 which deﬁnes the location of the object in the directory tree. For the Fiery XJ 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 (PCONSOLE or NETADMIN which are textbased, or NetWare Administrator which has a graphical user interface and context-sensitive help).

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.

NOTE: The procedures that follow work with all versions of NetWare 4.x.

With NetWare 4.11 or later, you can combine the procedures using the Print Services Quick Setup dialog box.

TO CREATE AN NDS PRINT QUEUE:

1. Start NetWare Administrator and select the container in which you are going to deﬁne the print queue for the Fiery XJ.

2. Choose Create from the Object menu.

tainer object that contains the print queue or queues.

Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery XJ. If you need to connect additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation, which causes the 4.x server to behave like and be accepted as a NetWare 3.x server.

NOTE: The ﬁle server selected must not be in the same tree as that selected in NDS

Setup.

Up to eight bindery servers, whether in native 3.x mode or in 4.x emulation, can connect to the Fiery XJ.

If your server is using NetWare 3.x, proceed to “Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery” on page 3-12.

In order to set up the NetWare 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the Fiery XJ, 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 XJ 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.

This section describes the second and third steps. Given the variety of possible network structures, it is impractical to suggest a bindery context that applies to every network.

3-10 Setting up Network Servers

TO SET THE BINDERY CONTEXT:

1. Establish a connection with the server which will have the Fiery XJ queue.

This is best done by the network administrator using PSERVER from the server console. It can also be done remotely using the RCONSOLE utility.

2. At the NetWare prompt type load install.

The NetWare Server Installation window is displayed.

3. Use the down arrow key to select Maintenance/Selective Install.

NOTE: After the “=” sign, type the bindery context obtained from the system adminis-

trator.

7. Press Esc to close the window, and save changes.

8. Proceed to the next section to activate the bindery context.

TO ACTIVATE THE BINDERY CONTEXT:

1. If you cannot reboot the NetW ar e server at this point, type the set command manually at the server’s colon prompt.

Use the same command as you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle (in step 6 of the previous procedure).

2. If you can reboot the NetWare server, the set command is loaded automatically.

You are ready to set up the Fiery XJ print server and print queue. See the next section for details.

Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery

For NetWare 3.x and for 4.x in emulation, the NetWare print server and print queue for Fiery XJ are created and conﬁgured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory.

As with NDS, ﬁrst you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you select them in Network Setup on the Fiery XJ Control Panel.

3-16 Setting up Network Servers

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

Before setting up client workstations for printing, make sure you perform Network Setup on the Fiery XJ Control Panel (see page 2-10), and that the settings reﬂect the entities you created in the NetWare administrator utilities (see page 3-4).

NOTE: For printing to the Fiery XJ, connect all Windows clients to a Novell 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 XJ.

After the Novell server and the Fiery XJ 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 95 workstations, both the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and the

Client for NetWare Networks should be loaded from the Network Control Panel. On Windows NT 4.0 workstations, Client Services for NetW are should be installed.

Use the CSNW option in Control Panel to set printing options and specify a preferred NetWare server.

• Setting up the Fiery XJ as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer

driver and the Fiery XJ 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 XJ. See Getting Started for details on how to connect Windows 95 and

Windows NT 4.0 workstations.

• Installing Fiery XJ software, such as color reference ﬁles.

See Getting Started for details.

3-17 Conﬁguring Windows 95 workstations for the Fiery utilities

Conﬁguring Windows 95 workstations for the Fiery utilities

To run Fiery Downloader, a Windows 95 workstation on an IPX network must have IPX/SPX protocols loaded and bound to the network driver. There should be a NetWare server on the network.

Before you begin, for Windows 95, install the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and Microsoft TCP/IP.

NOTE: To use Fiery Spooler with Windows 95, y ou cannot use IPX/SPX. You must use

TCP/IP.

TO INSTALL THE FIERY UTILITIES:

1. Conﬁgure your NetWare server and perform Fiery XJ Setup.

2. Insert the Fiery XJ User Software CD in the client workstation and install the Fiery utilities.

See Getting Started for installation instructions.

3. Before running the Fiery utilities, print a Conﬁguration page.

See page 2-46 for details on printing the Conﬁguration page.

4. Start the Fiery utilities and conﬁgure the connection (Getting Started).

3-18 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery XJ on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is conﬁgured to connect to the Fiery XJ using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery XJ. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0 clients. Client machines print to the Fiery XJ by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server. Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT 4.0 server machine.

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run these utilities from Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95:

• Fiery Spooler

• Fiery WebT ools

With TCP/IP, you can run Fiery Downloader from Windows NT 4.0 only.

If there are many Mac OS computers or other PostScript printers at the site, the Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the Fiery XJ. You can load AppleTalk on the Windows NT 4.0 server as an alternative to TCP/IP (see page 3-25).

Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0 using TCP/IP protocols is similar in some respects to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, note the following:

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery XJ and for any workstations that will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.

• In Fiery XJ Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup>Ethernet Setup (or Token Ring Setup), enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address for the Fiery XJ. Also enter the Subnet mask and Gateway address.

• Make sure the Fiery XJ name and address are listed in a domain name services (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.

• Make sure the system host table includes the corr ect internal name f or the Fiery XJ as a remote printer. See page 3-28 for more information.

3-19 Conﬁguring a Windows NT 4.0 server to support the Fiery XJ

• For Windows NT 4.0, install the Fiery XJ PostScript printer description on the

• Repeat the installation for everyone who prints to the Fiery XJ.

Windows NT 4.0 server (see Getting Started).

The Windows NT 4.0 PostScript printer driver is automatically installed with Windows NT 4.0. The Fiery XJ PostScript printer description is pro vided on the User Software CD.

Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.

The Installer installs a blank conﬁguration (Eﬁnl.ini) ﬁle. When you run a utility for the ﬁrst time, you enter information that is used to conﬁgure the Eﬁnl.ini ﬁle automatically. See Getting Started for more information.

Conﬁguring a Windows NT 4.0 server to support the Fiery XJ

To conﬁgure a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the Fiery XJ, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections.

• Load the TCP/IP network protocol (see the next section).

• Enter the host name of the Fiery XJ in the host database used by your system (see

page 3-21).

• On the Fiery XJ Control Panel, perform Server Setup (see page 2-8), Network Setup

(page 2-10), Printer Setup (page 2-35), PS Setup (page 2-36), and Color Setup (page 2-38).

• On the Windows NT 4.0 server, cr eate a printer for each Fiery XJ print connection,

install the appropriate printer drivers (if necessary) and (optionally) share the printer on the network (see page 3-22).

• Enter the host name and remote printer name of the Fiery XJ in the printer connec-

tion. See page 3-28 for more information.

• If the Windows NT 4.0 server is also a workstation, install the Fiery utilities (see

Getting Started and page 3-24).
