The EX7750 includes support for the WebTools™ and software for Command WorkStation or Command WorkStation LE, which allow an operator to manage all jobs sent to the EX7750. 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 printer are described in the

Printing Guide

or the

Customer Release Notes.

1-1 EX7750 on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the EX7750, 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.

EX7750 on the network

When the EX7750 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the EX7750 supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other):

•AppleTalk

•TCP/IP

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 SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) is the protocol that sends e-mail between servers. The SNMP (simple network management protocol) manages complex networks. The port 9100 is the printer server port number to publish print connections between the print server and a remote computer. The IMAP (internet message access protocol) retrieves e-mail messages. The POP3 (post ofﬁce protocol) retrieves e-mail messages with or without SMTP. The http (hypertext transfer protocol) is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets. The http also supports IPP printing.

In addition, the DHCP and BOOTP are used for assigning IP addresses automatically. These are not shown in the diagrams in this chapter. For more information, see “TCP/IP Setup options” on page 4-19.

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

•Physically connecting the EX7750 to a functioning network

These protocols 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. The EX7750 is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add the EX7750 to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

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 EX7750—obtain cable, route it to the location where the EX7750 will be installed (near the printer), and attach the cable to the network interface of the EX7750. For details, see “Ensuring the printer connection” on page 3-10.

OTE

If you plan to run Command WorkStation software, you will need to install the

software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along with the EX7750. For more information, see the

• Conﬁguring the network server

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the EX7750 as a color PCL or PostScript printer. For information about conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see Chapter 2.

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 EX7750 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.

For Ethernet connections, the EX7750 supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP, 4 pairs) cabling, deﬁned as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT and 1000BaseT; 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 EX7750.

NOTE: The 100BaseT and 1000BaseT types supported by the EX7750 are 100BaseTX

and 1000BaseTX, respectively, also known as Fast Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX or 1000BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” and “1000BaseT” are used to refer to 100BaseTX and 1000BaseTX, respectively.

TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK CONNECTOR

• Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the EX7750.

OTE: Make sure to connect the network cable to the connector marked LAN on the

back of the EX7750. The connector marked with the copier illustration is used for the connection to the printer. See the illustration on page 1-11.

You must use a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair network cable for 100BaseT and 1000BaseT.

2-1 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP

Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows 2000s—that share printing to the EX7750. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the EX7750. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows 2000/XP workstations or UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to print to the EX7750 and run Fiery utilities and WebTools.

The EX7750 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare and Windows 2000s, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows 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 2000 environment (see the following section,

“EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP”).

If your network is based on Windows 2000, proceed to the following section. For information about UNIX workstations, proceed to “EX7750 on a network with

UNIX workstations” on page 2-16.

EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP

When a Windows computer is conﬁgured to connect to the EX7750 using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the EX7750. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows clients. Client computers print to the EX7750 by printing to the Windows print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows computer.

2-2 Setting up Network Servers

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the EX7750 and any workstations that will

• In EX7750 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway

A typical system combination is:

•Print server running Windows 2000; clients running Windows 2000/XP.

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and WebTools from a Windows computer.

Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP

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

print to it or run the Fiery utilities.

address for the EX7750.

You can enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them dynamically. Make sure the EX7750 name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or host name database used by your system. Otherwise, make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the EX7750 as a remote printer. For more information, see “Important note about the remote printer name” on page 2-17.

•For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver ﬁles (PCL or PostScript) on the Windows.

For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the EX7750.

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

2-3 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP

Conﬁguring a Windows 2000 server to communicate with the EX7750

To conﬁgure a Windows 2000 server to communicate with the EX7750, 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 EX7750 in the host database used by your

system (see “To add the EX7750 to a TCP/IP network with a Windows 2000 server” on page 2-4).

•Perform EX7750 Setup.

•On the Windows sever, create a printer for each EX7750 print connection, install

the appropriate printer drivers, and (optionally) share the printer on the network (see “Installing the EX7750 as a shared printer” on page 2-5).

•Enter the host name and remote printer name of the EX7750 in the printer

connection. For more information, see “Important note about the remote printer

name” on page 2-17.

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

Software Installation Guide).

Adding the EX7750 to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows 2000 servers and Windows 2000/XP clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures in “Setting up the EX7750 on TCP/IP networks” on page 2-17.

2-4 Setting up Network Servers

TO ADD THE EX7750 TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS 2000 SERVER

1. Register the IP address of the EX7750 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 EX7750 to the hosts ﬁle on the Windows 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 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 “Printing a Conﬁguration page from the Control Panel” on page 7-17).

NOTE: If the EX7750 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 EX7750 Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the EX7750, subnet mask, and gateway address).

2-5 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP

Installing the EX7750 as a shared printer

The ﬁrst step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver ﬁles, which give your applications access to printer features. You can use the installation instructions in the

User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and

independently to the EX7750. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000/XP workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the network. This allows clients who do not have permission to establish an independent network connection to the EX7750 to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the EX7750 printer ﬁles. If you have not yet installed the EX7750 printer ﬁles on the Windows 2000 print server computer, do so now, following the instructions in the User Software Installation

Guide. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the EX7750.

If you have already installed the EX7750 printer ﬁles on the computer you are using as a Windows 2000 print server, see your Windows documentation for information about sharing the EX7750.

If more than one EX7750 print connection is published (for example, if both the Print queue and the Hold queue are published), you may want to create a printer for each print connection, so you and other users can print to each connection directly. When prompted to specify the printer name, enter a name that indicates the EX7750 print connection.

2-6 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring clients of a Windows 2000 server

Each client of a Windows 2000 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the EX7750 if it has been shared by a Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000/XP clients. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows server as the server uses to communicate with the EX7750.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE EX7750 SHARED BY

A WINDOWS 2000 SERVER

•For Windows 2000/XP clients: Before printing, install the printer driver with the User Software CD and conﬁgure the port.

After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page Setup, or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for their own job, but printer properties appear dimmed and are unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows 2000 print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the EX7750. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the EX7750 window of the Print Manager on the Windows 2000 print server.

• Print a Conﬁguration page (see “Printing a Conﬁguration page from the Control Panel”

• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer. (For Windows 2000/XP load Client

Conﬁguring Windows computers without a Windows 2000 server

If your network does not have a Windows 2000 server, Windows 2000/XP workstations can still print to the EX7750. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 2000/XP workstations operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the EX7750 when users send print jobs.

Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows 2000 server also apply to setting up Windows printing where a server is not present. The prerequisites are summarized in the following list, and you can ﬁnd more detail in your Microsoft documentation.

•Verify the Workgroup name of the computer on the Network Identiﬁcation tab in the System Properties dialog box (Windows 2000), or the Computer Name tab in the System Properties dialog box (Windows XP).

Make sure the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in EX7750 Setup.

• Ping the EX7750 to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see “ping <IP

address>” on page 2-18).

2-8 Setting up Network Servers

EX7750 on a NetWare network

The NetWise features built into the EX7750 support the following network operating environments:

•NetWare—NDS (Novell Directory Services)

•Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode

The term “Netware” is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.

For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported.

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.

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

NetWare clients print to the EX7750 through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined in this chapter, client printing setup is described in the User Software Installation Guide, and printing is described in the Printing Guide.

The EX7750 can receive print jobs from NetWare servers over Ethernet network topologies. During EX7750 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the EX7750 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet.

2-9 EX7750 on a NetWare network

•A minimum connection to the EX7750 consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the EX7750 is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network.

The EX7750 with IPX connections has the following characteristics:

print server, and a NetWare queue.

•A single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers can be conﬁgured simultaneously.

• The EX7750 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

• Queues in each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the EX7750.

Overview of IPX printing to the EX7750

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.

You must give the NetWare queue names a speciﬁc extension corresponding to the EX7750 print connection, as follows:

_print _hold _direct

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

2-10 Setting up Network Servers

You do not need to rerun Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue; however, you should restart the EX7750 after you create or remove a queue.

When the EX7750 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 EX7750. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the EX7750 Print queue. 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.

Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare ﬁle server so networked users can print to the EX7750 from their workstations, and the EX7750 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 and in your NetWare documentation.

•Make sure the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.

• Log in as the Supervisor on a Windows computer connected to the NetWare

ﬁle server.

•For NetWare installations, set up an NDS connection (see “Setting up an NDS

connection” on page 2-12).

•For NetWare in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see “Setting the NetWare

bindery context” on page 2-12).

•For NetWare in bindery emulation, set up a ﬁle server, print server, and print queue

for the EX7750 (see “Setting up a NetWare Print queue for bindery” on page 2-13).

2-11 EX7750 on a NetWare network

With bindery services, you can route all EX7750 print jobs through the same NetWare ﬁle server, or you can conﬁgure more than one ﬁle server to handle EX7750 jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, the EX7750, and the client workstation are summarized in the following tables. The ﬁrst table applies to NDS connections, and the second to bindery connections. Complete the operations in the left column, then the center column, then the right column.

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 that deﬁnes the location of the object in the directory tree. For the EX7750, 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 tools.

The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. 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.

You can connect only one directory tree to the EX7750. If you need to connect additional NetWare servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation. You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the EX7750.

NOTE: The ﬁle server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you selected in

NDS Setup.

2-13 EX7750 on a NetWare network

In order to set up the NetWare server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the EX7750, the network administrator must do the following:

•Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and

the EX7750 Print queue will be created.

The container deﬁnes the “bindery context” for your network structure.

•Edit the bindery context.

•Activate the new bindery context.

Setting up a NetWare Print queue for bindery

For NetWare in bindery emulation mode, the NetWare print server and the EX7750 Print queue must be created and conﬁgured.

As with NDS, you can create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, and you can then select them in Network Setup (see “PServer Setup options” on page 4-25).

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

Before setting up client workstations for printing, perform Network Setup (see

“Network Setup options” on page 4-16), and verify that the settings reﬂect the entities

you created in the NetWare administrator utilities (see “Conﬁguring a NetWare server

for printing” on page 2-10).

NOTE: For printing to the EX7750, connect all Windows clients to a NetWare server

and permit them to connect to the Print queues for the EX7750.

After the Novell server and the EX7750 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 2000/XP workstations, install Client Services for NetWare. Use the CSNW option in the Control Panel to set printing options and specify a preferred NetWare server.

2-14 Setting up Network Servers

•Setting up the EX7750 as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer

driver and the EX7750 PPD (PostScript printer description).

•Adding a network port and connecting the workstation to one or more NetWare

queues that have been deﬁned for the EX7750.

•Installing EX7750 software, such as color reference ﬁles.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide.

EX7750 on a NetWare network with NDPS

The EX7750 supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the EX7750 takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the EX7750 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS. For more information about IPX-based printing, see “EX7750 on a NetWare network” on page 2-8.

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.

NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a Print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available for clients to download from Windows 2000/XP computers.

During EX7750 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the EX7750 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet.

2-15 EX7750 on a NetWare network with NDPS

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the EX7750 and for any workstations that

• In EX7750 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway

• Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the EX7750.

Tips for experts—NetWare networks

Setting up the EX7750 in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the EX7750 in such an environment, refer to the following information:

will print to it or run Fiery utilities.

address for the EX7750. You can enter these manually or use DHCP or BOOT protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.

Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing with NDPS

To conﬁgure a NetWare server for printing with NDPS, NDPS must be installed during NetWare 5.x or later installation, and while a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are using the latest NetWare service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

In EX7750 Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP (see “TCP/IP Setup options” on page 4-19) and LPD printing (see “LPD Setup options” on page 4-25) on the EX7750. Ping the EX7750 (see “ping <IP address>” on page 2-18) to verify that TCP/IP communication is successful.

2-16 Setting up Network Servers

EX7750 on a network with UNIX workstations

When a UNIX workstation is conﬁgured with the lpd protocol and connected to the EX7750 over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the EX7750.

Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial conﬁguration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.

The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and WebTools, are unavailable on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac OS computer on the same network as the UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the EX7750 can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from all workstations on the network.

Tips for experts—UNIX workstations

Setting up the EX7750 in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device:

•A distinct IP address is required for the EX7750 as well as for each workstation on the network.

•A name must be selected for the EX7750 that goes with the IP address.

• The IP address of the EX7750 must be registered for the network in a host database, and also on the EX7750 itself.

•At least one print connection (Print or Hold) must be published.

The following information applies especially to the EX7750:

• The EX7750 is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.

• The EX7750 has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it successfully.

For details, see the following section.

2-17 EX7750 on a network with UNIX workstations

Important note about the remote printer name

Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for the remote printer (or rp in the

/etc/printcap ﬁle) in conﬁguring the EX7750 must be one of the following:

print hold

The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000/XP workstation to connect to the EX7750 over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your Windows printer, as the “Name of printer or Print queue on that (lpd host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box.

For the Windows 2000/XP printer driver, enter the remote printer name for Queue Name under LPR Settings in the Conﬁgure Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor dialog box.

Setting up the EX7750 on TCP/IP networks

Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the EX7750, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an address for the EX7750. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the EX7750 as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Since the EX7750 spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and the EX7750. If you choose to do so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a client machine does not have its own spooling area.

2-18 Setting up Network Servers

TO SET UP EX7750 PRINTING ON UNIX SYSTEMS

1. Specify the appropriate settings in EX7750 Server Setup.

To access EX7750 Setup, see “Accessing Setup options” on page 4-9.

2. Specify the appropriate settings in EX7750 Network Setup.

Enter a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the EX7750.

3. Specify the appropriate settings in EX7750 Printer Setup.

Publish the Print queue and/or Hold queue.

TO SET UP TCP/IP FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE EX7750

1. A superuser (with root login) must add the EX7750 to the network’s IP host table or other system database of network printers.

2. In the ﬁle or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print server protocol, the queue, and the spool ﬁle for the EX7750 name you assigned.

3. Make the EX7750 available as a printer to other network users.

4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any computer on the network, at the command prompt, type:

ping <IP address>

Type the EX7750 IP address assigned in EX7750 Network Setup.

After the EX7750 is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to the EX7750:

ping <hostname>

The server should respond with a message such as

Reply from <IP address> ...

Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To stop the output, type Control-C. You can use the ping command at any time.

2-19 EX7750 on a network with UNIX workstations

TO PRINT TO THE EX7750

• On a UNIX system running Solaris 8, use the lp command to send a job to the EX7750.

• Windows 2000/XP users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to the EX7750 from their applications or from a command prompt.

When Windows 2000/XP users print from applications, they can set print options with the driver but not from the UNIX command line.

Managing print jobs

UNIX network administrators can use UNIX utilities for viewing the list of jobs, and for printing and removing jobs that are spooled to UNIX servers. If the network includes a Windows 2000/XP workstation that has TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can use Command WorkStation or Fiery Downloader to download fonts and ﬁles.

You can also use the job management tools to manage jobs from remote workstations. For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

Even without the Fiery utilities, you can:

•Set up the EX7750 to print a log of printed jobs automatically after every 55 jobs

(see “Job Log Setup” on page 4-54).

•Print a Job Log manually at any time from the Command WorkStation Functions

menu (see the Job Management Guide).

This page is intentionally blank.

3-1 Levels of access and control

Chapter 3: Preparing for EX7750 Setup

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial EX7750 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. Administrators and operators must also understand how EX7750 system software is structured in order to conﬁgure and use the EX7750 system correctly.

Levels of access and control

When you conﬁgure the EX7750 during Setup, you (as system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling or not enabling print connections, passwords, and access to WebTools. The level of control you implement can range from minimum to moderate to maximum—or none at all.

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

network can control all printing and EX7750 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.

•Maximum 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 EX7750 disk until the operator decides it is time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and operator have access to job management tools. We recommend this level of control.

EX7750 print connections

The EX7750 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 Direct connection give remote users more direct access to the EX7750 than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments where maximum control is desired.

3-2 Preparing for EX7750 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 can enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in the queue (see “Jobs Saved in Printed Queue 1-99 [10]” on page 4-15). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.

To use the Fiery utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one of the print connections.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the EX7750 hard disk for printing at a later time or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management tools (see the Job Management Guide).

Print queue

This is the standard EX7750 queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the EX7750, but only when the EX7750 is Idle. If the EX7750 is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the EX7750 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 EX7750 hard disk, and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job Log, for accounting purposes.

NOTE: To download fonts to the EX7750, you must publish the Direct connection.

NOTE: The Direct connection is not supported for LPR printing.

3-3 Levels of access and control

Passwords

You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to EX7750 functions. The EX7750 allows you to set the following passwords in Setup:

•Administrator—from the Control Panel, WebSetup, or Command WorkStation (or

local Setup, if you have the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface [FACI] installed)

•Operator—from WebSetup or Command WorkStation

These passwords, speciﬁc to the server process, have different uses than the Windows XP Administrator password. Keep careful track of the passwords you set for each.

NOTE: By default, an Administrator password of “Fiery.1” is set on the EX7750. For

information about setting or changing the passwords, see “Setting passwords” on page 7-2.

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, controlling print jobs from the job management tools, overriding job settings, clearing the EX7750 of all job data, performing calibration, deﬁning default color proﬁles, and setting default values for print options.

When performing a function from the EX7750 Control Panel that prompts you for the Administrator password, you must enter it promptly. Otherwise, the EX7750 Control Panel returns to Idle, and you must start over again.

3-4 Preparing for EX7750 Setup

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 EX7750 state.

WebTools

The EX7750 can support Internet or intranet access from Windows and Mac OS computers with WebTools. To enable use of WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:

•Enable TCP/IP.

•Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the EX7750.

•Enable Web Services.

•Enable 515 (LPD/Fiery Tools) option in Port Setup.

For more information, see Chapter 6.

NOTE: WebTools are not supported on Mac OS X.

You can set passwords to control access to WebTools features. If you do not speciﬁcally set these passwords, all users have access to all WebTools functions (see “Passwords” on page 3-3). WebTools include Status, WebLink, WebDownloader, WebSetup, and Installer.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and printing on the EX7750. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see the

Printing Guide.

3-5 Levels of access and control

WebLink

WebLink provides all users with a link to an address on the Internet. To change the WebLink Internet address, see “Setting the WebLink destination” on page 6-3. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set (see “Passwords” on page 3-3).

NOTE: If you do not set the Administrator password, any user can change the WebLink

address, which affects all users. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you set an Administrator password.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF ﬁles directly to the EX7750 without ﬁrst opening the ﬁle in an application.

For information about supported ﬁle versions, see the User Software Installation Guide.

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify EX7750 Setup options from a remote workstation. For more information, see Chapter 5.

NOTE: WebSetup is supported on Windows computers only.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows users to download installers for printer drivers directly from the EX7750. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see the User

Software Installation Guide.

Check for product updates

The Check for product updates link allows remote users to download system patches for the EX7750.

3-6 Preparing for EX7750 Setup

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

2. An administrator but no operator

Control level scenarios

Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from minimum control to maximum 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: We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to

prevent unauthorized changes to system settings.

All users have equal access to all system functions including Setup, clearing the EX7750, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink address, performing calibration, printing to all EX7750 print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

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 EX7750 print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

3. An administrator and an operator

Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools. Users can print to all EX7750 print connections.

3-7 Levels of access and control

4. An administrator and an operator; no WebTool access

5. An administrator and an operator; operator controls all jobs; no WebTool access

Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, 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 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 WebTools.

(Maximum control)

Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, 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 WebTools.

3-8 Preparing for EX7750 Setup

EX7750 system software

The EX7750 uses Windows XP Embedded system architecture to receive and process jobs and send job data to the printer. To log on to the EX7750, enter Administrator as the user name, and enter the password “Fiery.1”.

Resident on the Windows XP software is the following software unique to the EX7750:

•Server—The Server is an independent software process started automatically

whenever Windows XP is started. As the central element of EX7750 system software, the Server process controls the spooling, rasterizing, and printing of jobs, as well as job accounting (the Job Log), storage, and retrieval.

When the Server is not running, jobs cannot be received by the EX7750, job processing cannot occur, job data cannot be transferred to the printer for printing, and the job management tools cannot connect to the EX7750. In the event that you need to restart the Server process, right-click FieryBar and choose Restart Fiery.

• Command WorkStation—Command WorkStation is the interface tool for the

Server. It provides a graphical interface for viewing and controlling Server functions.

For information about installing system software, see page 7-6.

About Setup

Setup conﬁgures the EX7750 to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. You must perform Setup the ﬁrst time you turn on the EX7750 after new system software is loaded. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate for allowing users to print to the EX7750 and use the WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can change Setup options accordingly.

3-9 About Setup

The ﬁrst time you perform Setup, you must use the EX7750 Control Panel. Conﬁgure, at a minimum, Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that sequence. After the initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the Control Panel (see “EX7750 Control Panel” on page 4-3) or Command WorkStation (see “Accessing

Setup” on page 5-1). Most Setup options can be set using any of these methods.

If you do not conﬁgure the remaining Setups, the EX7750 uses default settings. You need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Local Setup from the EX7750

You can also perform Setup locally at the EX7750, using Setup Fiery from the FieryBar menu. Some of the settings you specify in Setup conﬁgure the Server process (such as print job defaults), while some conﬁgure the Windows XP Workstation environment (such as system date and time). Depending on the settings you change in Setup, you must restart the Server software (by choosing Restart Fiery from the FieryBar menu) or Windows XP before your changes take effect.

Setup options for local Setup are divided into three groups:

General Setup System settings, passwords, and Job Log options

Network Setup All the active network system settings that will transmit print

jobs to the EX7750 and available services

Printer Setup EX7750 print connections to be made available to users, and

PostScript, PCL, and color defaults for jobs

3-10 Preparing for EX7750 Setup

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows 2000 (using TCP/IP) networks, you must conﬁgure the network servers for printing to the EX7750 before you conﬁgure EX7750 network settings in Setup. For chapter references to information about network server Setup, see the diagrams in Chapter 1.

To conﬁgure network settings in Setup, you must have a live network connection, so that the EX7750 can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the conﬁguration of the EX7750, the printer, 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 also make changes to other Setup options.

NOTE: You must conﬁgure the EX7750 with the correct domain name. This is

especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. If you have the FACI installed, right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop and choose Properties. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Computer Name tab, then click Change to enter the correct domain name in the Computer Name Changes dialog box. This requires the user name and password of a user who can add workstations to the speciﬁed domain. For conﬁgurations that do not include the FACI, you must add the EX7750 to the domain from a server, using the Microsoft administrator management tools.

Ensuring the printer connection

Complete the following steps before you conﬁgure the EX7750 and the workstations that will print to the EX7750.

3-11 About Setup

TO PREPARE FOR EX7750 CONFIGURATION

1. Copy a test page to verify the printer is functioning normally.

2. Turn off the printer and connect the interface cable from the printer to the EX7750.

3. To conﬁrm this connection, turn on the printer and allow it to warm up. Then turn on the EX7750, and print a Test Page from the EX7750 Control Panel.

To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to display the Functions menu. Choose Print Pages, and then choose Test Page.

4. Shut down the EX7750 ﬁrst and then the printer.

OTE: The EX7750 must be shut down correctly. For information, see “Shutting down

the EX7750” on page 7-24. For information about how to turn off the printer, see the

copier documentation.

5. Connect the network cable to the EX7750, as described in Chapter 1.

The network should already be installed and operational.

6. Turn on the printer and then the EX7750.

For information about how to start the EX7750, see “Starting the EX7750” on page 7-21.

Proceed to EX7750 Setup (see “EX7750 Setup from the Control Panel” on page 4-1).

Ensuring virus-free operation of the EX7750 on a network

The EX7750 is prone to computer viruses since it uses Windows XP system architecture. We highly recommend that a network administrator periodically run an anti-virus program on the EX7750 to ensure network security in your environment.

Scanning the EX7750 on a network

A network administrator can scan the EX7750 from a Windows computer using commercially available anti-virus software.

NOTE: Install anti-virus software on the EX7750 from the FACI according to the

software documentation. Make sure the EX7750 is idle when the anti-virus software is running.

3-12 Preparing for EX7750 Setup

TO SCAN THE EX7750 FROM A WINDOWS COMPUTER

1. Disable all the print connections published in Server Setup and Printer Setup.

NDS Setup

Before entering NDS settings, make sure the EX7750 is connected to the network and that you have conﬁgured an NDS directory tree with a printer, print server, and one or more Print queue objects for EX7750 jobs (see “Setting up a NetWare Print

queue for bindery” on page 2-13). 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 EX7750 Print queues.

NOTE: 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.

Enable NDS Yes/No [No]

Select Yes if the NetWare servers you will use to print to the EX7750 are running NetWare in native mode.

Select NDS Tree

List of trees
