1-1 Fiery on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

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

When the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery 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 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. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add the Fiery 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

•Physically connecting the Fiery to a functioning network

• Conﬁguring the network server

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 Fiery—obtain cable, route it to the location where the Fiery will be installed (near the copier/printer), and attach the cable to the network interface of the Fiery (see page 3-10 for details).

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 Fiery. For more information, see the

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

User Software Installation Guide

• Setting up the Fiery

Conﬁgure the Fiery for your particular printing and network environment. First read

Chapter 2, and then see subsequent 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 over the network. These steps are described in the User Software

Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.

•Administering the Fiery

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.

UNIX Mac OS Windows

Prepare a network node. Connect the Fiery to the copier/printer and the network. If you use a computer running Command WorkStation software, connect it to the network.

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

No special conﬁguration of AppleShare servers is required.

On the Fiery Control Panel, conﬁgure, at a minimum, the Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup. After the initial Setup, you can conﬁgure the remaining Setups from the Control Panel or Command WorkStation.

At each computer from which users print to the Fiery:

•Install the appropriate printer ﬁles and connect to one or more queues.

•Install Fiery utilities and an Internet browser for those computers that will use them.

•Verify the Fiery in the list of printers and run a test print.

1-4 Connecting to the Network

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

A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. For more information, see Appendix A.

NOTE: The IPX/SPX and TCP/IP functionality outlined in this section is available on

both Ethernet and Token Ring networks. AppleTalk is supported on Ethernet only.

Ethernet connection

For Ethernet connections, the Fiery 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.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery 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.

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

Token Ring connection

For Token Ring connections, the Fiery supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an RJ-45 connector and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) with a DB-9 connector.

If the Token Ring option is installed, you cannot enable both Ethernet and Token Ring simultaneously. For more information, see Appendix A.

TO CONNECT TO THE TOKEN RING BOARD

• Connect the network cable to the proper connector on the back of the Fiery.

2-1 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 servers—that share printing to the Fiery. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 workstations or UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to print to the Fiery and run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools.

The Fiery can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare, Windows NT 4.0, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0 or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special conﬁguration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0 environment (see the following section).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0, proceed to the following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 2-17.

Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is conﬁgured to connect to the Fiery using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0/2000 clients. Client computers print to the Fiery by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0 server computer.

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools from a Windows NT 4.0/2000 or Windows 9x/Me/XP computer.

The Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols to print to the Fiery as an alternative to TCP/IP.

NOTE: When you create a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not “capture” the

printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server, rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, Fiery print connections will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.

•For Windows NT 4.0, install the appropriate printer driver ﬁles on the Windows NT 4.0 server.

For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

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

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

2-3 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

Conﬁguring a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the Fiery

To conﬁgure a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the Fiery, 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 Fiery in the host database used by your system (see

page 2-4).

•Perform Fiery Setup.

•On the Windows NT 4.0 server, create a printer for each Fiery print connection,

install the appropriate printer drivers, and (optionally) share the printer on the network (see page 2-5).

•Enter the host name and remote printer name of the Fiery in the printer connection.

For more information, see page 2-18.

•If the Windows NT 4.0 server is also a workstation, install Fiery utilities (see the

User Software Installation Guide).

2-4 Setting up Network Servers

Adding the Fiery to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 4.0 clients, and Windows 2000 clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-18.

TO ADD THE FIERY TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER

1. Register the IP address of the Fiery 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 Fiery to the hosts ﬁle on the Windows NT 4.0 server. Also add it to the hosts ﬁle on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery utilities.

The Windows NT 4.0 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 page page 7-9).

NOTE: If the Fiery has already been deﬁned in an /etc/hosts ﬁle or equivalent host

name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, we recommend you use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the

/etc/printcap ﬁle.

2. Perform Fiery Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

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

2-5 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

Installing the Fiery 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 Fiery. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, or Windows 2000 Professional computer, 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 Fiery to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery printer ﬁles. If you have not yet installed the Fiery printer ﬁles on the Windows NT 4.0 print server computer, do so now, following the instructions in the User Software Installation Guide. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the Fiery.

If you have already installed the Fiery printer ﬁles on the computer you are using as an NT 4.0 print server, see your Windows documentation for information about sharing the Fiery.

If more than one Fiery 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 Fiery print connection.

2-6 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring clients of a Windows NT 4.0 server

Each client of a Windows NT 4.0 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, or Windows 2000 Professional computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY SHARED BY A WINDOWS NT 4.0 SERVER

•For Windows 9x/Me/2000 clients: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and then double-click the printer name.

You are prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add Printer Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in the User Software Installation

Guide.

•For Windows NT 4.0 Workstation clients: Before printing, connect to the print server computer and select the Fiery. Right-click and choose the Open command.

When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.

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 unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0 print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the Fiery window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0 print server.

2-7 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0

• Print a Conﬁguration page (see page 7-9).

• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer (for Windows 9x/Me/XP only, also

Conﬁguring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0 server

If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0 server, Windows 9x/Me/XP and Windows NT 4.0/2000 workstations can still print to the Fiery. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB, printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 9x/Me/XP and Windows NT 4.0 Workstation operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery when users send print jobs.

Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0 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.

Use the information on this page to determine the current Fiery settings.

•Verify the Workgroup name of the computer in the Windows Network control panel.

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

•For Windows 9x/Me/XP only, in the Windows Network control panel, conﬁgure the computer to allow ﬁle sharing, and then restart the computer.

• Ping the Fiery to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see page 2-19).

2-8 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network

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

•NetWare 4.x or 5.x—NDS (Novell Directory Services)

•Servers running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in bindery emulation mode

For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported. For Token Ringbased NetWare networks, both IPX/SPX and TCP/IP are 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 4.x or 5.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in native mode.

NetWare clients print to the Fiery 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 Fiery can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. (For information about the Token Ring option, see Appendix A.) During Fiery Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are speciﬁed in a startup ﬁle when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

2-9 Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network

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

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

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

• Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the Fiery.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

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

The Fiery with IPX connections has the following characteristics:

print server, and a NetWare queue.

simultaneously.

This limit is the same regardless of whether the Fiery is connected to the network via Ethernet, via Token Ring, or both.

Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery

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 Fiery 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 Fiery after you create or remove a queue.

When the Fiery 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 Fiery. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery 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 4.x server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare ﬁle server so networked users can print to the Fiery from their workstations, and the Fiery 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 PC connected to the NetWare ﬁle server.

•For NetWare 4.x installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 2-12).

•For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 2-12).

•For NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a ﬁle server, print server, and print

queue for the Fiery (see page 2-13).

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

The functions you perform on the Novell server, the Fiery, 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.

2-12 Setting up Network Servers

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 Fiery, 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 programs such as PCONSOLE, NETADMIN, or NetWare Administrator.

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

Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery. If you need to connect additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation. You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery.

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

NDS Setup.

In order to set up the NetWare 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the Fiery, the network administrator must do the following:

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

the print queue for the Fiery will be created.

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

•Edit the network startup ﬁle to set the bindery context.

•Activate the new bindery context.

2-13 Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or 5.x network

Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery

For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and print queue for the Fiery are created and conﬁgured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in the NetWare PUBLIC directory.

As with NDS, you can create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, and then you can select them in Network Setup (see page 4-26).

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

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

page 4-14), and verify that the settings reﬂect the entities you created in the NetWare

administrator utilities (see page 2-10).

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

permit them to connect to the Netware print server or servers on which you deﬁned a NetWare print queue for the Fiery.

After the Novell server and the Fiery 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 9x/Me workstations, load both the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and the Client for NetWare Networks from the Network Control Panel.

On Windows NT 4.0/2000 workstations, install Client Services for NetWare. Use the CSNW option in the Control Panel to set printing options and specify a preferred NetWare server.

•Setting up the Fiery as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer driver

and the Fiery PPD (PostScript printer description).

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

queues that have been deﬁned for the Fiery.

•Installing Fiery software, such as color reference ﬁles.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide.

2-14 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

The Fiery supports printing over a NetWare 5.x network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the Fiery supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “Fiery on a NetWare 4.x or

5.x 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 9x/Me/XP and Windows NT 4.0/2000 computers.

Tips for experts—NetWare 5.x networks

Setting up the Fiery in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. Refer to the following information when setting up the Fiery in such an environment:

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery and for any workstations that will print to it or run Fiery utilities.

• In Fiery Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for Fiery. You can enter these manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.

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

2-15 Fiery on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS

Conﬁguring a NetWare 5.x server for printing

Before you begin

The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x installation and that 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 5.x service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

In Fiery Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP (page 4-19) and LPD printing (page 4-26) on the Fiery. You can ping the Fiery (page 2-19) to verify that TCP/IP communication is successful.

Setting up the Fiery printer driver

You ﬁrst need to create a directory for Windows NT 4.0/2000 or a folder for Windows 9x/Me in the NetWare server for NDPS to install the corresponding printer driver ﬁles from the User Software CD.

TO SET UP THE PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000

1. Log on to the Novell ﬁle server as a superuser or Administrator.

2. In the SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\NT4/2000 directory, create a directory called Fiery.

3. From the User Software CD, copy the contents of the ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_NT/2000 folder to the Fiery directory.

TO SET UP THE PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 9X/ME

1. Log on to the Novell ﬁle server as a superuser or Administrator.

2. In the SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\Win9x/Me directory, create a folder called Fiery.

3. From the User Software CD, copy the contents of the ENGLISH\INSTALRS\PS_DRVR\WIN_9x/Me folder to the Fiery directory.

2-16 Setting up Network Servers

Setting up the Fiery on a NetWare 5.x network

Depending on the security needs at your organization, you can set up the Fiery as a Public Access printer or a Controlled Access printer. The following procedure describes setting up a Public Access printer. You can then convert the printer to Controlled Access if necessary. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

TO SET UP THE FIERY AS A PUBLIC ACCESS PRINTER

1. In NetWare Administrator, double-click the NDPS Manager object you created.

2. In the Details window for the NDPS Manager object, click Printer Agent List.

The list of Printer Agents appears.

3. Click New.

4. In the Printer Agent (PA) Name ﬁeld, enter a name.

5. Under Gateway Types, select Novell Printer Gateway, and click OK.

6. In the Conﬁgure Novell PDS for Printer Agent dialog box, select “((NONE))”, and click OK.

7. In the Conﬁgure Port Handler dialog box, choose “Remote LPR on IP” as the connection type, and click Next.

and the driver for Windows NT 4.0/2000.

Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations

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

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

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

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

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

• The Print queue, Hold queue, or Direct queue (or all) must be published.

2-18 Setting up Network Servers

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

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

The following information applies especially to the Fiery:

successfully.

For details, see the next section.

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 Fiery must be one of the following:

print hold direct

The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, Windows NT 4.0 Server, or Windows 2000 Professional computer to connect to the Fiery over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0 printer, as the “Name of printer or print queue on that (lpd host) server” in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box.

Setting up the Fiery on TCP/IP networks

Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an address for the Fiery. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Since the Fiery spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery. 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.

2-19 Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations

TO SET UP FIERY PRINTING ON UNIX SYSTEMS

1. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery Server Setup.

To access Fiery Setup, see page 4-8.

2. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery Network Setup.

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

3. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery Printer Setup.

Publish the Print queue, Hold queue, and/or Direct queue.

TO SET UP TCP/IP FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE FIERY

1. A superuser (with root login) must add the Fiery 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 Fiery name you assigned.

3. Make the Fiery 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 Fiery IP address assigned in Fiery Network Setup.

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

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.

2-20 Setting up Network Servers

TO PRINT TO THE FIERY

• On a UNIX system running SunOS 4.x or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command to send a job to the Fiery.

• On a UNIX system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the lp command to send a job to the Fiery.

• Windows NT 4.0 users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to the Fiery from their applications or from a command prompt.

When Windows NT 4.0 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 on UNIX servers. If the network includes a Windows NT 4.0/2000 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 Fiery to print a log of printed jobs automatically after every 55 jobs

(see Job Log Setup on page 4-50).

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

menu (see the Job Management Guide).

3-1 Levels of access and control

Chapter 3: Preparing for Fiery Setup

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery 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 Fiery system software is structured in order to conﬁgure and use the Fiery system correctly.

Levels of access and control

When you conﬁgure the Fiery 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 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 Fiery 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 Fiery disk until the operator decides it is time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and operator have access to job management tools. This is the recommended level of control.

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

Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, and Fiery WebSpooler.

Fiery print connections

The Fiery 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 Fiery 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 Fiery 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 page 4-13). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.

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

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery 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 until the operator intervenes using the job management tools (see the Job Management Guide).

Print queue

This is the standard Fiery 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 can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery, but only when the Fiery is Idle. If the Fiery is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery 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 hard disk, and 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.

You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP.

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

3-3 Levels of access and control

Passwords

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

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

if you have installed the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface)

•Operator—from Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery. 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. We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the Fiery 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, controlling print jobs from the job management tools, overriding job settings, clearing the Fiery of all job data, performing calibration, deﬁning default color proﬁles, and setting default values for print options.

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

The administrator password also controls printer driver defaults for printer drivers

EX12

installed with Point and Print on Windows NT 4.0 clients. For information on installing printer drivers with Point and Print, see the User Software Installation Guide.

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 state.

3-4 Preparing for Fiery Setup

Fiery WebTools

The Fiery can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from Windows 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.

•Enable Web Services.

For more information, see Chapter 6.

You can set passwords 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 3-3). Fiery WebTools include Status™, WebSpooler™, WebLink™, WebScan™, WebDownloader™, WebSetup™, and Installer™.

Status

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

Printing Guide.

WebSpooler

The WebSpooler interface is very similar to that of Command WorkStation. It allows remote users to preview, manipulate, reorder, reprint, and delete jobs currently spooling, processing, or printing on the Fiery. It also allows the administrator and operator to edit and merge jobs (Thumbnails A and B) and 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 3-3). For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

3-5 Levels of access and control

EX12

WebLink

WebLink provides all users with a link to an address on the Internet. To change the WebLink Internet address, see 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.

WebScan

With WebScan, you can retrieve scanned documents from a computer on the Internet or your organization’s intranet. For more information, see the Printing Guide.

WebDownloader

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

WebSetup

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

NOTE: Fiery WebSetup is supported on Windows computers only.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows users to download installers for printer drivers, Command WorkStation, ColorWise Pro Tools, and Documentation directly from the Fiery. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see the User Software

Installation Guide.

3-6 Preparing for Fiery 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 Fiery, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink address, performing calibration, printing to all Fiery 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 Fiery 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 Fiery print connections.

4. An administrator and an operator; no Fiery 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 Fiery WebTools.

3-7 Fiery system software

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

Fiery system software

The Fiery uses Windows NT Workstation system architecture to receive and process jobs and send job data to the copier/printer. To log on to the Fiery, enter Administrator as the user name, and enter the password.

NOTE: Conﬁguring and monitoring the Windows NT functions from the Fiery require

the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface option. For more information, contact your authorized service/support technician.

3-8 Preparing for Fiery Setup

Resident on the Windows NT Workstation is the following software unique to the Fiery:

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

whenever Windows NT is booted. As the central element of Fiery 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 Fiery, job processing cannot occur, job data cannot be transferred to the copier/printer for printing, and Command WorkStation cannot connect to the Fiery. In the event that you need to restart the Server process, right-click the FieryBar™ and choose Restart Fiery.

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

Server. It provides a graphical means of viewing and controlling Server functions.

About Setup

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. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate for allowing users to print to the Fiery and to use the Fiery WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can change Setup options accordingly.

The ﬁrst time you perform Setup, you must use the Fiery 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 (page 4-2) or Command WorkStation. Most Setup options can be set using any of these methods.

NOTE: Conﬁguring and monitoring the Windows NT functions on the Fiery require

the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface option. For more information, contact your authorized service/support technician.

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

3-9 About Setup

Local Setup from the Fiery

You can also perform Setup locally at the Fiery, using Server Setup, a Windows NT Control Panel. Some of the settings you specify in Server Setup conﬁgure the Server process (such as print job defaults), while some conﬁgure the Windows NT Workstation environment (such as system date and time). Depending on the settings you change in Server Setup, you must restart Windows NT 4.0 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 systems that will transmit print jobs to

the Fiery

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

color defaults for jobs

Network server setup requirements

For Token Ring, Novell, and Windows NT (using TCP/IP) networks, you must conﬁgure the network servers for printing to the Fiery before you conﬁgure Fiery 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 the Fiery can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the conﬁguration of the Fiery, the copier/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 make changes to other Setup options, as well.

3-10 Preparing for Fiery Setup

You must configure the Fiery with the correct Windows NT domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. For Fiery systems that include the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface, open the Start Menu>Settings>Control Panel> Network >Identification tab, and enter the correct domain name. You must also select “Create a Computer Account in the Domain,” and enter the user name and password of a user who can add workstations to the specified domain. For configurations that do not include the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface, you must add the Fiery to the domain from a networked Windows NT 4.0 server, using the Server Manager utility.

Ensuring the copier/printer connection

Complete the following steps before you conﬁgure the Fiery and the workstations that will print to the Fiery. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.

TO PREPARE FOR FIERY CONFIGURATION

1. Print a copier/printer test page to verify the copier/printer is functioning normally.

2. Turn off the copier/printer and connect the interface cable from the copier/printer to the Fiery.

3. To conﬁrm this connection, turn on the copier/printer 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 display the Functions menu. Choose Print Pages, and then choose Test Page.

4. With both the copier/printer and the Fiery turned off, connect the network cable to the Fiery, as described in Chapter 1.

The network should already be installed and operational.

5. Turn on the copier/printer and then the Fiery.

Proceed to Fiery Setup, described in Chapter 4.

4-1 Fiery Setup from the Control Panel

Chapter 4: Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Setup is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery 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 Control Panel menus and messages. If you do not conﬁgure a particular Setup option, the Fiery uses default settings. You should make the settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Fiery Setup from the Control Panel

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

Setup provides these groups of options:

•Server Setup to specify system options

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

the Fiery

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

• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings

• Color Setup to specify color settings

•Job Log Setup to specify how the Fiery handles its log of printed jobs

•Font Archiving to back up and restore fonts

The Change Password option in the Setup menu allows you to create and change the Administrator password on the Fiery.

The Control Panel on the front of the Fiery allows you to set options and view information about jobs printed to the Fiery. It comprises the following parts:

•Activity light—indicates normal or problem activity

• Line selection buttons—select a setting and proceed to the next option

•Display window—shows status information and options for setting up the Fiery
