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.

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

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.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

Ethernet connection
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.
N
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.

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.

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
2
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).
