Preparing to print
To set up your Fiery, you must perform the following tasks:
• Connect the Fiery physically to a functioning network.
• Configure the network server.
•Set up the Fiery from the Control Panel.
T
O
•Prepare client workstations for printing.
A brief explanation of each task follows.
Connecting the Fiery to a functioning network
OTE
When you add the Fiery to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has
N
:
already installed a network cabling system and has connected workstations and servers. For
examples of different networks, see the Configuration Guide .
•Prepare a network node for the Fiery.
•Route the cable to a location near the copier where the Fiery will be installed and attach
the cable to the network interface of the Fiery.
For more information, see Chapter 1 of the Configuration Guide .
• Connect the Fiery to the copier and print a test page.
For detailed instructions, see the Configuration Guide .

3. To confirm this connection, turn on the copier and the Fiery and print a Test Page from the
Fiery Control Panel.
To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to access the Functions
menu. Choose Print Pages, and then choose Test Page.
4. With both the copier and the Fiery turned off, connect the network cable to the Fiery.
The network should already be installed and operational.
5. Turn on the copier and then the Fiery.

5Preparing to print
Configuring the network server
If you require a network server, you must configure that server to provide client access to
the Fiery as a color printer. To configure a network server in a Windows or UNIX network
environment, see the Configuration Guide . For Token Ring, Novell, and Windows NT
(using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must be configured for printing to the Fiery
before you configure Fiery network settings in Setup. For more information, see the
Configuration Guide .
Setting up the Fiery from the Control Panel
Setup configures the Fiery to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. You
must perform Setup the first time you turn on the Fiery after new system software is loaded
or any time Server software is reinstalled. Initial Setup must be performed at the Fiery
Control Panel.
Perform the following Setup options in the order listed:

—specifies how print jobs and queues are managed.
To configure network settings in Setup, you need a live network connection so the Fiery can
query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
To perform Setup from the Control Panel, select one menu after another and enter
information about your Fiery and your network and printing environment. In each Setup
screen, the last line of the display shows the name of the current Setup menu. Most of the
menus you see are displayed on the Control Panel Map, a flow chart you can print from the
Control Panel.

6 Quick Start Guide
Preparing client workstations for printing
Before you can print to the Fiery, you must install the appropriate printer files from the
User Software CD and connect the client to the Fiery over the network. The software
provided on the User Software CD is described in the User Software Installation Guide .
OTE
The steps to set up printing vary slightly for Windows and Mac OS computers.

Safety warnings
The Fiery display window is a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is made of glass and can
break. Do not subject it to strong shocks.
If the display window breaks and the liquid crystal material leaks out, do not inhale, ingest,
or touch it. If the material gets on your skin or clothing, wash it off with soap and water
immediately.
Do not touch or put pressure on the panel. This will change the color of the panel.
