INTRODUCTION
Preparing to print
If your configuration requires that you have a direct connection to the Fiery, make sure that
the Fiery is installed and that a Startup page has been printed. You also need to connect the
Splash RPX-i to the Fiery using the Ethernet crossover cable. This connection is described as
Direct Connect.
If you do not require Direct Connect, the Splash RPX-i and the Fiery are connected to your
network independently. This connection is described as Network Connect.
For more information about Direct Connect and Network Connect, see “Connecting the
Splash RPX-i to the Fiery” on page 13.
For either connection, perform the following tasks to set up the Splash RPX-i for printing:

NOTE: If your configuration does not
require Direct Connect and uses
Network Connect, the Fiery may
already be installed on the network.
Install the Splash RPX-i server software
on the Splash RPX-i server computer.
Configure the Power Mac for
Splash RPX-i.

INTRODUCTION
Connecting the Splash RPX-i to the Fiery
The Splash Server supports either a direct connection to the Fiery or a connection over the
network. After the initial connection is made, the Splash Server automatically reconnects to
the same Fiery each time it is started.
If you prefer not to expose the Fiery on the network, follow the procedure for Direct Connect.
If you want to expose the Fiery on the network, follow the procedure for a non-dedicated
print environment.
Connecting the Splash RPX-i using Direct Connect
Direct Connect allows the Splash RPX-i to access the Fiery via an Ethernet crossover cable
provided with the Splash RPX-i. Use Direct Connect if you want the Splash RPX-i (but not
the Fiery controller) to be visible on the network, thus providing a dedicated print
environment. Direct Connect provides higher and more consistent Splash performance than
Network Connect.
NOTE: Two built-in Ethernet ports are required to use Direct Connect.

Connecting the Splash RPX-i using Network Connect
Network Connect allows the Splash RPX-i to access the copier over the network, providing a
non-dedicated print environment. Use Network Connect to use the features and workflow of
the Splash RPX-i and Fiery at the same time. If you do not include the Fiery on your network,
certain Fiery functions, such as Command Workstation, may not be available.
To optimize performance using Network Connect, the configuration of the Fiery and
Splash RPX-i should be located on the same Gigabit switch.
