1-1 Fiery EX2101 on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery EX2101, 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 EX2101 on the network

When the Fiery EX2101 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery EX2101 supports the following network protocols:

•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 4-16.

• 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. The Fiery EX2101 is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

•Physically connecting the Fiery EX2101 to a functioning network

When you add the Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101—obtain cable, route it to the location where the Fiery EX2101 will be installed (near the copier), and attach the cable to the network interface of the Fiery EX2101. For details, see “Ensuring the copier

connection” on page 3-9.

OTE

If you plan to run Command WorkStation software, install the software and

connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along with the Fiery EX2101. For more information, see the

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 EX2101 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.

2-1 Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003

Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 servers—that share printing to the Fiery EX2101. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery EX2101. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.0 /2000/XP/2003 workstations or UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to print to the Fiery EX2101 and run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools.

The Fiery EX2101 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare and Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/2003 servers, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no special conﬁguration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 environment (see the following section,

“Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003”).

NOTE: The Fiery EX2101 does not support the Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory

service.

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003, proceed to the following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to “Fiery EX2101 on a

network with UNIX workstations” on page 2-16.

Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003

When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 computer is conﬁgured to connect to the Fiery EX2101 using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery EX2101. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP clients. Client computers print to the Fiery EX2101 by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server computer.

2-2 Setting up Network Servers

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery EX2101 and any workstations that

Typical system combinations are:

•Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server; clients running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and Windows 9x/Me

•Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 Workstation and clients running Windows 9x/Me

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery 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 NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 workstations, note the following:

will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.

• In Fiery EX2101 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery EX2101.

Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them dynamically. Make sure the Fiery EX2101 name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system. Otherwise, make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery EX2101 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 NT 4.0/2000/2003 server.

For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery EX2101.

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

• If the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server is also a workstation, install Fiery utilities (see the User Software Installation Guide).

Adding the Fiery EX2101 to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 servers, and Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures in “Setting up the Fiery EX2101 on TCP/IP networks” on page 2-17.

2-4 Setting up Network Servers

TO ADD THE FIERY EX2101 TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/2003 SERVER

1. Register the IP address of the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 to the hosts ﬁle on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 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 4.0/2000/2003 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

<TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.

where

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 7-10).

NOTE: If the Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery EX2101, subnet mask, and gateway address).

2-5 Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003

Installing the Fiery EX2101 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. Use the installation instructions in the User

Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and

independently to the Fiery EX2101. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/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 Fiery EX2101 to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery EX2101 printer ﬁles. If you have not yet installed the Fiery EX2101 printer ﬁles on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 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 EX2101.

If you have already installed the Fiery EX2101 printer ﬁles on the computer you are using as a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 print server, see your Windows documentation for information about sharing the Fiery EX2101.

If more than one Fiery EX2101 print connection is published (for example, if both the Print queue and the Hold queue are published), consider creating 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 EX2101 print connection.

2-6 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server

Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery EX2101 if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server or Windows NT 4.0 /2000/XP/2003 clients. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery EX2101.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE FIERY EX2101 SHARED BY A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/2003 SERVER

• Windows 98/Me: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and then double-click the printer

• Windows NT 4.0: Before printing, connect to the print server computer and select the Fiery EX2101. Right-click and choose the Open command.

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

• Windows 2000/XP/2003: 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 unavailable for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT 4.0 /2000/2003 print server, and from there to the selected print connection on the Fiery EX2101. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the Fiery EX2101 window of the Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 print server.

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

Conﬁguring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server

If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server, Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations can still print to the Fiery EX2101. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery EX2101 when users send print jobs.

Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/2003 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.

2-8 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network

The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 can receive print jobs from NetWare servers over Ethernet network topologies. During Fiery EX2101 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery EX2101 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet.

2-9 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network

•A minimum connection to the Fiery EX2101 consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the Fiery EX2101 is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network.

The Fiery EX2101 with IPX connections has the following characteristics:

NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.

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

• The Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101.

Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery EX2101

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 EX2101 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 EX2101 after you create or remove a queue.

When the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 from their workstations, and the Fiery EX2101 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 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 Fiery EX2101 (see “Setting up a NetWare Print queue for bindery” on page 2-13).

2-11 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network

With bindery services, you can route all Fiery EX2101 print jobs through the same NetWare ﬁle server, or you can conﬁgure more than one ﬁle server to handle Fiery EX2101 jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, the Fiery EX2101, 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 Fiery EX2101, 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.

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.

2-13 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network

In order to set up the NetWare server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the Fiery EX2101, the network administrator must do the following:

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

the Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 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 4-22).

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

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

“Network Setup options” on page 4-13), 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 Fiery EX2101, connect all Windows clients to a NetWare

server and permit them to connect to the Print queues for the Fiery EX2101.

After the Novell server and the Fiery EX2101 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 98/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/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 Fiery EX2101 as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer

driver and the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101.

•Installing Fiery EX2101 software.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide.

Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network with NDPS

The Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing, the Fiery EX2101 supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS (Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see “Fiery EX2101 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 9x/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP computers.

During Fiery EX2101 Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Fiery EX2101 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet.

2-15 Fiery EX2101 on a NetWare network with NDPS

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery EX2101 and for any workstations

• In Fiery EX2101 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and

• Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the Fiery EX2101.

Tips for experts—NetWare networks

Setting up the Fiery EX2101 in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the Fiery EX2101 in such an environment, refer to the following information:

that will print to it or run Fiery utilities.

gateway address for the Fiery EX2101. 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 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 Fiery EX2101 Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP (see “TCP/IP Setup

options” on page 4-16) and LPD printing (see “LPD Setup options” on page 4-22) on

the Fiery EX2101. Ping the Fiery EX2101 (see “ping <IP address>” on page 2-18) to verify that TCP/IP communication is successful.

2-16 Setting up Network Servers

Fiery EX2101 on a network with UNIX workstations

When a UNIX workstation is conﬁgured with the lpd protocol and connected to the Fiery EX2101 over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the Fiery EX2101.

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 Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 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 EX2101 as well as for each workstation on the network.

•A name must be selected for the Fiery EX2101 that goes with the IP address.

• The IP address of the Fiery EX2101 must be registered for the network in a host database, and also on the Fiery EX2101 itself.

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

The following information applies especially to the Fiery EX2101:

• The Fiery EX2101 is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.

• The Fiery EX2101 has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it successfully.

For details, see the following section.

2-17 Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 must be one of the following:

print hold

The remote printer name is also used when setting up your Windows NT 4.0 /2000/2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 workstation to connect to the Fiery EX2101 over TCP/IP. Enter the remote printer name when you set up your Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 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/2003 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 Fiery EX2101 on TCP/IP networks

Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery EX2101, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an address for the Fiery EX2101. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery EX2101 as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Since the Fiery EX2101 spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery EX2101. 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 FIERY EX2101 PRINTING ON UNIX SYSTEMS

1. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery EX2101 Server Setup.

To access Fiery EX2101 Setup, see “Accessing Setup options” on page 4-8.

2. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery EX2101 Network Setup.

Enter a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery EX2101.

3. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery EX2101 Printer Setup.

Publish the Print queue or Hold queue.

TO SET UP TCP/IP FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE FIERY EX2101

1. A superuser (with root login) must add the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 name you assigned.

3. Make the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 IP address assigned in Fiery EX2101 Network Setup.

After the Fiery EX2101 is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to the Fiery EX2101:

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 Fiery EX2101 on a network with UNIX workstations

TO PRINT TO THE FIERY EX2101

• On a UNIX system running Solaris 8, use the lp command to send a job to the Fiery EX2101.

• Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to the Fiery EX2101 from their applications or from a command prompt.

When Windows NT 4.0/2000/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 NT 4.0/2000/XP workstation that has TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can use Command WorkStation or Fiery Downloader™ to download fonts and files.

The job management tools also allow you 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 EX2101 to print a log of printed jobs automatically after every 55

jobs (see “Job Log Setup” on page 4-46).

•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 EX2101 Setup

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery EX2101 conﬁguration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you 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 EX2101 system software is structured in order to conﬁgure and use the Fiery EX2101 system correctly.

Levels of access and control

When you conﬁgure the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 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 EX2101 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.

Fiery EX2101 print connections

The Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 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 EX2101 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 print connections.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery EX2101 hard disk for printing at a later time or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage area, 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 EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101, but only when the Fiery EX2101 is Idle. If the Fiery EX2101 is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101, 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 Fiery EX2101 functions. The Fiery EX2101 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, no passwords are set on the Fiery EX2101. 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 EX2101 from random or accidental changes to Setup. For information on setting or changing the passwords, see “Setting passwords” on page 7-2.

NOTE: The FACI is available as an option.

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 EX2101 of all job data, and setting default values for print options.

When performing a function from the Fiery EX2101 Control Panel that prompts you for the Administrator password, you must enter it promptly. Otherwise, the Fiery EX2101 Control Panel returns to Idle, and you must start over again.

Operator privileges

Operator control includes control of print jobs from the job management tools, including the ability to override job settings.

3-4 Preparing for Fiery EX2101 Setup

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 EX2101 state.

Fiery WebTools

The Fiery EX2101 can support Internet or intranet access from Windows and Mac OS computers with Fiery WebTools. 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 EX2101.

•Enable Web Services.

For more information, see Chapter 6.

NOTE: Fiery WebTools are not supported on Mac OS X.

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 “Passwords” on page 3-3). Fiery WebTools include Status™, WebLink™, WebDownloader™, WebSetup, WebSpooler™, and Installer™.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery EX2101. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see the Printing Guide.

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.

3-5 Levels of access and control

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF ﬁles directly to the Fiery EX2101 without ﬁrst opening the ﬁle in an application.

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

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery EX2101 Setup options from a remote workstation. For more information, see Chapter 5.

NOTE: WebSetup is supported on Windows computers only.

WebSpooler

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 EX2101. It also allows the administrator and operator to edit and merge jobs (Thumbnails A and B) and view, print, or delete the Job Log.

You control WebSpooler access by setting an Operator password in Setup. If you set a password, only users with that password can manipulate jobs from WebSpooler. A user who does not have the password can still log in to WebSpooler as a Guest with viewonly access (see “Passwords” on page 3-3). For more information, see the Job

Management Guide.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows users to download installers for printer drivers directly from the Fiery EX2101. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see the

User Software Installation Guide.

3-6 Preparing for Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink address, printing to all Fiery EX2101 print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, but all other system functions are accessible to all users, including printing to all Fiery EX2101 print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

3. An administrator and operator

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools. Users can print to all Fiery EX2101 print connections.

4. An administrator and operator; no Fiery WebTools access

Only an administrator can perform Setup 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.

5. An administrator and operator; operator controls all jobs; no Fiery WebTools access (Maximum control)

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools.

Fiery EX2101 system software

The Fiery EX2101 uses Windows XP Embedded system architecture to receive and process jobs and send job data to the copier. To log on to the Fiery EX2101, enter

Administrator as the user name, and enter the password (“Fiery.1”).

NOTE: Conﬁguring and monitoring the Windows XP functions from the

Fiery EX2101 require the FACI option. For more information, contact your authorized service/support technician.

Resident on the Windows XP software is the following software unique to the Fiery EX2101:

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

whenever Windows XP is started. As the central element of Fiery EX2101 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 EX2101, job processing cannot occur, job data cannot be transferred to the copier for printing, and the job management tools cannot connect to the Fiery EX2101. In the event that you must 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.

3-8 Preparing for Fiery EX2101 Setup

About Setup

Setup conﬁgures the Fiery EX2101 to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. You must perform Setup the ﬁrst time you turn on the Fiery EX2101 after new system software is loaded. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate for allowing users to print to the Fiery EX2101 and 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 EX2101 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 “Fiery EX2101 Control Panel” on page 4-3) or Command WorkStation (see

“Accessing Setup” on page 5-1). You can set most Setup options using these methods.

NOTE: Conﬁguring and monitoring the Windows XP functions on the Fiery EX2101

require the FACI. For more information, contact your authorized service/support technician.

NOTE: The FACI is available as an option.

If you do not conﬁgure the remaining Setups, the Fiery EX2101 uses default settings. You need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Local Setup from the Fiery EX2101

You can also perform Setup locally at the Fiery EX2101, using Setup from FieryBar. 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 FieryBar 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 transmits print jobs

to the Fiery EX2101 and available services

Printer Setup Fiery EX2101 print connections to be made available to users,

and PostScript and PCL defaults for jobs

3-9 About Setup

NOTE: Local Setup requires the FACI option.

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 (using TCP/IP) networks, you must conﬁgure the network servers for printing to the Fiery EX2101 before you conﬁgure Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the conﬁguration of the Fiery EX2101, the copier, 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.

NOTE: You must conﬁgure the Fiery EX2101 with the correct Windows NT 4.0

/2000/2003 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 Fiery EX2101 to the domain from a networked Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server, using the Server Manager utility.

NOTE: The Fiery EX2101 does not support the Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory

Service. When you use the Fiery EX2101 in a Windows 2000/2003 server environment, assign the Fiery EX2101 to a Domain or Workgroup.

Ensuring the copier connection

Complete the following steps before you conﬁgure the Fiery EX2101 and the workstations that will print to the Fiery EX2101. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.

Ensuring virus-free operation of the Fiery EX2101 on a network

The Fiery EX2101 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 Fiery EX2101 to ensure network security in your environment.

If you have the FACI installed, install and run anti-virus software on the Fiery EX2101 according to the software documentation. Make sure that the Fiery EX2101 is in Idle while the anti-virus software is running. Besides the ﬁles on the hard disk drive, scan for ﬁles that are received outside of the normal print stream, which includes any removable media, such as a ZIP disk, and ﬁles copied to the Fiery EX2101 from a shared network directory.

3-11 About Setup

If you do not have the FACI installed, you can launch anti-virus software from a remote workstation and scan the Fiery EX2101 hard disk. However, this operation is not supported. For support of this operation, we recommend that the network administrator to consult directly with the anti-virus software manufacturer.

About the Fiery EX2101 default password

The Fiery EX2101 is set with the Windows XP default password “Fiery.1” for security reasons. This is in compliance with security policies stipulated by Microsoft Corporation. To ensure network security in your environment, the administrator must set a password.

Changing the Fiery EX2101 system password

Change the default password from a Windows 98/Me client computer by using the following procedure.

If you have the FACI installed, you can change the Fiery EX2101 administrator password in the same way you set the password for a Windows XP workstation (see page 3-12).
