1-1 Fiery 3850C on the network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery 3850C, 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 3850C on the network

When the Fiery 3850C is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript
printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery 3850C 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.

When you add the Fiery 3850C 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

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 3850C to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the Fiery 3850C—obtain cable and route it to the location
where the Fiery 3850C will be installed and attach the cable to the network interface of
the Fiery 3850C.

N

OTE

:

If you plan to run the Command WorkStation software from a remote
computer, you need to install the software and connect the Command WorkStation
computer to the network. See Getting Started for details.

• Configuring the network server

When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the Fiery 3850C as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 5 for
information on configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network
environments.

• Setting up the Fiery 3850C

Configure the Fiery 3850C for your particular printing and network environment.
Read Chapter 2, and see the following 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 3850C over the network. These steps are described in Getting
Started, and some information is provided in Chapter 5 of this manual.

• Administering the Fiery 3850C

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See
Chapter 6 and the Job Management Guide for details.

Command WorkStation software, connect it to the
network.

Configure UNIX, Windows NT 4.0/2000 and IPX
(Novell) servers to specify Fiery 3850C print queues
and Fiery 3850C users.

Install PostScript printer files on the server.

No special configuration of AppleShare servers is
required.

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. Multiple protocols
(shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection
from the Fiery 3850C with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can
be operational at the same time.

Ethernet cable connection

For connecting to Ethernet, the Fiery 3850C 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 3850C.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery 3850C 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 3850C.

A Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable must be used for 100BaseT.

1-13 Connecting network cable to the Fiery 3850C

Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the Fiery 3850C 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.

TO USE PARALLEL CABLE:

1. With the Fiery 3850C and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable
to the parallel port of the Fiery 3850C.

See the illustration on page 1-11 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 Fiery 3850C.

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 3-11. For information on setting up printing, see
Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the Printing Guide.

2-1 Levels of access and control

To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial Fiery 3850C
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.

Levels of access and control

When you configure the Fiery 3850C during Setup, you (as system administrator)
implement a particular level of control by enabling or not enabling print connections,
passwords, and access to Fiery WebTools. The level of control you implement can
range from strict to moderate to minimal—or none at all.

• 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 Fiery 3850C disk until the operator decides it is
time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and/or operator have access
to job management tools.

NOTE: The term “job management tools” is used in this manual to refer to the

Command WorkStation, and Fiery WebSpooler.

• Least control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the local

network can control all printing and Fiery 3850C 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.

Fiery 3850C print connections

The Fiery 3850C 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 the Direct
connection give remote users more direct access to the Fiery 3850C than the Hold
queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in
environments where stricter control is desired.

Chapter 2:
Preparing for
Fiery 3850C
Setup

2

2-2 Preparing for Fiery 3850C 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 enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number
of jobs retained in it. Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job
management tools.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery 3850C hard disk for printing at a
later time or for repeated printing. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent
to it cannot proceed through the printing process without intervention via the job
management tools (see the Job Management Guide).

Print queue

This is the standard Fiery 3850C queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and
printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator from the job
management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs
sent to the Print queue.

To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, you must enable either the Hold queue
or the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery 3850C, but only when the
Fiery 3850C is not processing another job. If the Fiery 3850C is busy, the job remains
at the user workstation until the Fiery 3850C is ready. The job is then processed as
soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery 3850C hard disk, and
they 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 3850C, you must publish the Direct

connection.

2

2-3 Levels of access and control

Passwords

You can implement password requirements as a means of controlling access to
Fiery 3850C functions. The Fiery 3850C allows for the following passwords to be set
in Setup:

• Administrator—from the Control Panel

• Operator—from Fiery WebSetup or the Command WorkStation

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery 3850C. 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. It is
strongly recommended that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the
Fiery 3850C 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, clearing the Fiery 3850C of all job data, and setting the
WebLink destination.

When performing a function from the Fiery 3850C Control Panel that prompts you
for the Administrator password, you must enter it promptly. Otherwise, the
Fiery 3850C Control Panel returns to Ready, 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 3850C state.

2

2-4 Preparing for Fiery 3850C Setup

Fiery WebTools

The Fiery 3850C can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from
Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable use of Fiery WebTools, you must do the
following in Setup:

• Enable TCP/IP

• Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery 3850C

Instead of manually assigning the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, you
can use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to assign some or all of these addresses
(see page 3-13).

Passwords can be set to control access to Fiery WebTools features. If you do not
specifically set these passwords, all users have access to all Fiery WebTools functions
(see page 2-3).

Fiery WebTools include Status, WebSpooler, WebDownloader, WebSetup, and
WebLink.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and
printing on the Fiery 3850C. It is not affected by any password setting. For more
information, see the Printing Guide.

2

2-5 Levels of access and control

WebSpooler

WebSpooler allows remote users to preview, manipulate, reorder, reprint, and delete
jobs currently spooling, processing, or printing on the Fiery 3850C. It also allows the
administrator to view, print, or delete the Job Log.

Fiery WebSpooler access can be controlled by setting an Operator password in Setup.
If you set a password, only users with that password can manipulate jobs from
Fiery WebSpooler. A user who does not have the password can still log in to
Fiery WebSpooler as a Guest with view-only access (see page 2-3). For more
information, see the Job Management Guide.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to download PostScript, PDF, and EPS files directly to the
Fiery 3850C without first opening the file in an application.

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery 3850C Setup options from a remote
workstation. For more information, see Chapter 4.

NOTE: Fiery WebSetup is supported on Windows computers only. To access WebSetup,

you must use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or 5.5 with Java enabled. You must
install the Java VM provided on the User Software CD if you are running WebTools
from a Windows XP computer. For more information, see Getting Started.

WebLink

WebLink provides all users with a link to a pre-set Fiery WebLink destination. To
change the WebLink destination, see page 5-18. This function requires the
Administrator password, if one has been set. See “Passwords” on page 2-3.

NOTE: If no Administrator password has been set, any user can change the WebLink

destination, which affects all users. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that
you set an Administrator password.

2-6 Preparing for Fiery 3850C Setup

Control level scenarios

Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from least control to strictest control,
are described in this section. Choose the scenario that best matches your site
requirements, and then refer to the corresponding number in the table 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
Fiery 3850C, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink destination printing to all
Fiery 3850C print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

2. A designated administrator but no designated operator

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 3850C print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management
tools.

3. A designated administrator and a superuser operator

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, and only
an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools. Users
can print to all Fiery 3850C print connections.

2

2-7 Levels of access and control

4. A designated administrator and a designated operator, no Fiery WebTool access

Only an administrator can perform Setup 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 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 WebTools.

5. (Strictest control) A designated administrator and a designated operator, no Fiery
WebTool access, operator controls all jobs

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, and only
an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools; users
can print only to the Hold queue; the administrator and the operator have complete
control of job flow; no access to Fiery WebTools.

2-8 Preparing for Fiery 3850C Setup

About Setup

Setup configures the Fiery 3850C to communicate with other devices and manage
print jobs. It is required the first time the Fiery 3850C is powered on after new system
software is loaded or after server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup using default
settings is adequate for getting the Fiery 3850C to reach Ready status, but not for full
functionality. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can
change Setup options accordingly.

Initial Setup must be performed at the Fiery 3850C Control Panel. Configure at least
System Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that order. Afterwards, you
can complete or change most Setup options from a Windows computer using the
Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup.

Network server setup requirements

The diagrams in Chapter 1 give chapter references for network server setup.

To configure network settings in Setup, you need a live network connection so the
Fiery 3850C can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the configuration of the Fiery 3850C 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 make changes to other Setup
options as well.

3

3-1 About Fiery 3850C Setup

Setup is required the first time the Fiery 3850C 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 to use for Fiery 3850C Control Panel menus and messages.

About Fiery 3850C Setup

In initial Setup, you must configure at least System Setup, Network Setup, and Printer
Setup, in that order, from the Control Panel. If you do not configure the remaining
Setups, the Fiery 3850C uses default settings. These defaults allow the Fiery 3850C to
reach the Ready state, but might not allow users to print to the Fiery 3850C. You need
to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Making changes to Setup

After initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the Control Panel (page 3-2) or
the Command WorkStation (page 4-1). Most Setup options can be set from any of
these methods.

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows NT 4.0/2000 (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers
must be configured for printing to the Fiery 3850C before you configure Fiery 3850C
network settings in Setup. You need a live network connection so the Fiery 3850C can
query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues. The diagrams on pages
1-5 through 1-10 give chapter references for network server setup.

3-2 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Whenever the configuration of the Fiery 3850C, the printer, 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. Changing network or port settings may require
that you make changes to other Setup options as well.

Fiery 3850C Setup from the Control Panel

Setup performed from the Control Panel configures the Fiery 3850C to communicate
with other devices and manage print jobs sent to it.

Setup provides these groups of options:

• System Setup to specify system options

• Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that transmit print jobs to

the Fiery 3850C

Network Setup includes I/O Port Setup, Network Protocol Setup, and Network
Services Setup.

• Printer Setup to specify how print jobs and queues are managed

• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings

• PCL Setup to specify PCL settings

• ColorWise Setup to specify color settings

• Tray Setup to adjust the placement of text and images on the page so that they are

correctly aligned on the sheet of paper or so that both sides of a duplex sheet have
the exact same alignment. For more information on this function, see the .Job

3-12 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Port Timeout
5-300 [15]

This option appears only if Parallel Port is set to On. Your setting determines how long
(in seconds) the Fiery 3850C waits without receiving data from the parallel port before
deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the Fiery 3850C cannot
receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to receive network print
jobs.

Ignore EOF
Yes/No [Yes]

This option appears only if Parallel Port is set to On. This option specifies that the
Fiery 3850C should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages in a file. This option must be
set to Yes to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal

DHCP allows the Fiery 3850C to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask
automatically.

Depending on your network, the Fiery 3850C might be assigned a different address
after you reboot the Fiery 3850C. With the DHCP setting, the Fiery 3850C can be
assigned a different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already
configured properly for the protocol you select.

Enable BOOTP
Yes/No [No]

This option appears only if you answered Yes to Enable Auto IP Configuration.
BOOTP allows the Fiery 3850C to obtain the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask
automatically.

Enable RARP
Yes/No [No]

This option appears only if you answered Yes to Enable Auto IP Configuration. RARP
only allows the Fiery 3850C to obtain the Ethernet IP address automatically.

255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128

•

255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191

•

255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191

Confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator before proceeding.
In some cases the required setting may be different from those listed.

Auto Gateway
Yes/No [Yes]

Use this option to get the gateway address automatically for printing with TCP/IP.
This option appears only if you selected DHCP or BOOTP as the protocol in the
previous options.

If you select a DHCP or BOOTP protocol and later change it to RARP, you must
return to Setup and set this option to No. You can then set the address manually. This
is because RARP does not support automatic assignment of the gateway address.

Gateway Address
[127.0.0.1]

This option appears only if you answered No to Auto Gateway, or if you selected
RARP as the protocol.

Use this option to set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP. If your network
uses a gateway, you must change the default to a correct gateway address for your
network.

Service Setup options

PServer is a program in the Fiery 3850C that can service the Novell print queues
assigned to the Novell print servers you have set up for printing to the Fiery 3850C.
When you choose PServer Setup and enable PServer, you can set up NDS (Novell
Directory Services), Bindery Services, or both. NDS is used with NetWare 4.x;
Bindery Services are used with NetWare 3.x or with NetWare 4.x in bindery
emulation mode.

Network Service Setup has options for TCP/IP and IPX/SPX networks.

• For IPX/SPX networks, PServer Setup allows you to enter the names of the Novell

objects that are concerned with Fiery 3850C print jobs.

• SMB Setup enables the Microsoft SMB (Server Message Block) protocol, which

supports peer-to-peer printing, also known as Windows printing or SMB printing.

• Port 9100 Setup allows users to download jobs to a print connection on the

Fiery 3850C.

If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, set up NDS first. Setting up NDS
after Bindery will overwrite Bindery Setup.

If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, and uses NetWare 4.x servers in
bindery emulation, note that the Fiery 3850C cannot service NDS and bindery
emulation servers on the same NDS tree.

NDS Setup

Before entering NDS settings, be sure the Fiery 3850C is connected to the network
and you have already configured an NDS directory tree with a Printer, a Print
Server, and one or more Print Queue objects for Fiery 3850C jobs (see page 5-7).
To perform NDS Setup you may need permission to browse the NDS tree. If access
to the Print Server is restricted, you need a login password.

The main objective of NDS Setup is to specify the Print Server object. In addition,
you can indicate the location of the Fiery 3850C print queues.

The terms NetWare server, Novell server, and IPX server are in common use and are
used here interchangeably to mean the server on an IPX network running Novell
NetWare networking software.

3-33 ColorWise Setup options

Rendering Style
Photographic/Presentation/Abs Colorimetric/Rel Colorimetric [Presentation]

The CRD (color rendering dictionary) defines how colors are converted from the RGB
color space to device CMYK. Photographic, designed for images, retains the relative
balance between colors to maintain the overall appearance of the image. Presentation,
designed for bright colors, produces the saturated prints needed for most business
presentations, but handles photographic images the same way as the Photographic
CRD. Absolute Colorimetric provides the closest match to the CMYK device being
simulated, including rendering the paper color as the background. Relative
Colorimetric provides a close match to the CMYK device being simulated, regardless
of the media used.

CMYK Sim Prof.
SWOP-Coated (EFI) / DIC (EFI)/ Euroscale (EFI)/None [None]

CMYK simulation allows color correction to simulate printed output on a commercial
press, so that the Fiery 3850C output can be used for proofing. The SWOP-Coated
standard is used in the United States, DIC in Japan, and Euroscale in Europe. Custom
simulations are user defined and named. The simulations provided with the
Fiery 3850C have the designation “EFI” after their names.

If any custom simulations have been created and loaded on the Fiery 3850C with
ColorWise Pro Tools, they also appear in the list of simulations. A custom simulation
can be selected as the default simulation. See the Color Guide for more information
about custom simulations.

Spot Color Match

TCP/IP here also enables you to use Fiery utilities from Windows NT 4.0/2000
workstations using TCP/IP protocols.

IP Auto (Ethernet)—Click to allow the Fiery 3850C to obtain its Ethernet IP address

by searching the network. Depending on your network and the protocol you select
(DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP), the IP address can change.

Select protocol (Ethernet)—Select the protocol over which the Fiery 3850C should

search for its IP address. Both DHCP and BOOTP allow the Fiery 3850C to obtain
the Ethernet IP address and Subnet Mask automatically. RARP obtains only the
Ethernet IP address.

Depending on your network, the Fiery 3850C might be assigned a different address
after you reboot the Fiery 3850C. With the DHCP setting, the Fiery 3850C can be
assigned a different address even if it is not rebooted. Make sure the network is already
configured properly for the protocol you select.

4

4-11 Network Setup

IP Static (Ethernet)—Click to assign the Fiery 3850C a static IP address, which will

not change.

change the default to a valid address for your network. For information about setting
up printing with TCP/IP, see Chapter 5.

Subnet Mask (Ethernet)—If you need to set the subnet mask, enter one of the

following values:

•

255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128

•

255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191

•

255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191

NOTE: Be sure to confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator

before proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those
listed.

Gateway

If your TCP/IP network has a gateway, and users outside the gateway print to the
Fiery 3850C using TCP/IP, enter the gateway address. Obtain the correct gateway
address from your network administrator.

IP Auto—Use this option to get the gateway address automatically for printing with

TCP/IP. This option is available only if you selected DHCP or BOOTP as the
protocol.

If you select the DHCP or BOOTP protocol and later change it to RARP, you must
return to Gateway Setup and enter a static Gateway address. You can then set the
address manually. This is because RARP does not support automatic assignment of the
gateway address.

IP Static—Use this option to set the gateway address for printing with TCP/IP. If your

network uses a gateway, you must change the default to a correct gateway address for
your network.

5-1 Support for Fiery utilities

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 3850C. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/
IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery 3850C. In addition, it includes
guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0/2000 and
UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the
requirements for users to print to the Fiery 3850C and to run the Fiery utilities and
Fiery WebTools.

The Fiery 3850C 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,
Windows 2000, or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special
configuration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a
