CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Fiery EX4112/4127 on the network
When the Fiery EX4112/4127 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer.
The Fiery EX4112/4127 supports the following network protocols (rules that enable
computers on a network to communicate with each other):
• AppleTalk, Bonjour
• TCP/IP, which also includes the BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, IPP, IPv4, IPv6,
LDAP, LPD, NBT, POP3, Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, and SSL/TLS
protocols
These protocols can run concurrently on the same cable. Computers that use other protocols
can print through a server that uses one of the supported protocols. The Fiery EX4112/4127
is auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
1 Configuring the network environment
Configure network servers to provide users with access to the Fiery EX4112/4127 as a
networked printer. For information about configuring network servers in Windows and
UNIX network environments as they relate specifically to the Fiery EX4112/4127, see
page 11. For information about using your network, see your network documentation.
2 Physically connecting the Fiery EX4112/4127 to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the Fiery EX4112/4127. Obtain cable, route it to the location
where the Fiery EX4112/4127 is to be installed, and attach the cable to the network
connector of the Fiery EX4112/4127. For details, see page 18.
3 Setting up the Fiery EX4112/4127
Configure the Fiery EX4112/4127 for your printing and network environment (see page 21).
4 Preparing user computers for printing

Network server setup requirements
This section provides basic information about configuring the Fiery EX4112/4127
and using it on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general.
Only information specific to the Fiery EX4112/4127 is presented. Setting up the network
environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the network
administrator. Detailed instructions for configuring networks is beyond the scope of this
document. For information, see your network documentation.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection
before you configure Fiery EX4112/4127 network settings in Setup. This allows the
Fiery EX4112/4127 to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the Fiery EX4112/4127, copier, or network at
your site, alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or
port settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.
Windows networks
• The Fiery EX4112/4127 requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them
dynamically. Make sure the Fiery EX4112/4127 name and address are listed in a domain
name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
If more than one Fiery EX4112/4127 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 that users can print to each connection directly.
• Configure the Fiery EX4112/4127 with the correct Windows domain name.
This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing.
To use Microsoft Active Directory, you must assign the Fiery EX4112/4127 to a domain.
If you assign the Fiery EX4112/4127 to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.
AppleTalk networks
AppleShare servers require no special configuration.
To allow Mac OS X v10.4.x computers to access Bonjour printers, you must enable Bonjour
on the Fiery EX4112/4127.
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 12
UNIX networks
• When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the Fiery
EX4112/4127 over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Fiery EX4112/4127.
• Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial
configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer.
• The Fiery EX4112/4127 is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.
• The Fiery EX4112/4127 has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate
with it successfully.
Regardless of the UNIX system you use, the name you use for the remote printer (or rp in
the
/etc/printcap file) in configuring the network for the Fiery EX4112/4127 must be one of
the following
print
hold
direct
Computers on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery EX4112/4127 as a remote
printer, or can print to a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a
print server.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EX4112/4127 SETUP 13
PREPARING FOR FIERY EX4112/4127 SETUP
To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery EX4112/4127
configuration (or “Setup”) to specify the network environment and the types of printing
you do. Before you perform Setup, decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords
and other security features that the Fiery EX4112/4127 offers. Because many of these security
features are interconnected, review the information in this chapter to plan for an effective
security system, and then perform Setup accordingly.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the Fiery EX4112/4127 during Setup, you implement a particular level
of control by configuring these elements:
• Users and Groups
• Print connections
• Access to WebTools
Users and Groups
With WebTools Configure, you create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with
particular privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default,
and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users that you have created to a group, you can add users
from your organization’s global address list if you have LDAP services enabled on the
Fiery EX4112/4127.
The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy.
For more information, including specific procedures, see WebTools Configure Help.
User authentication
The term “user authentication” means the Fiery EX4112/4127 verifies that the user who is
sending a job belongs to a group, and the group has printing privileges (“Print in B&W”).
By default, the Fiery EX4112/4127 does not enforce user authentication. That is, even if you
assign passwords to users and assign the users to groups, no authentication occurs unless you
clear the “Allow users to print without authentication” checkbox (in Configure > Users and
Groups). If this option is selected, anyone can print to the Fiery EX4112/4127.
NOTE: This option is also available in Setup from the Control Panel (“Allow Printing From”
on page 30).
PREPARING FOR FIERY EX4112/4127 SETUP 14
If you require users to specify their user name and password (that is, you have cleared the
“Allow users to print without authentication” checkbox), users must type this information in
the printer driver when they print. Also, users must specify their user name and password if
they create files from the printer driver for printing later (such as an e-mail attachment that
will be sent to the Fiery EX4112/4127).
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that
FTP jobs are authenticated (see Configure > Network > Services > FTP > Require Password
for Printing).
Passwords
When you create a new user in WebTools Configure > Users and Groups, you assign a
password to the user. In other areas of the system, you can also set passwords for these areas:
• Default admin user in Administrators group
• Default operator user in Operators group
• Windows system password
NOTE: The Administrator and Operator passwords are separate from the Windows system
password.
By default, the Administrator password is set on the Fiery EX4112/4127. Change the
Administrator password periodically to protect the Fiery EX4112/4127 from accidental or
malicious changes to Setup. For more information, see “Setting passwords” on page 64.
Users in the Administrators and Operators groups have privileges in addition to the explicit
ones that you set when you create groups. Examples of these privileges are provided in the
following sections.
Administrator privileges
Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges
include:
• Configuring the Fiery EX4112/4127 from the Configure WebTool or from the Control
Panel
• Adding and deleting groups
• Adding and deleting users
• Setting and changing passwords for users
• Deleting, printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log
• Deleting, viewing, and modifying users’ print jobs
• Clearing the Fiery EX4112/4127 of all job data
• Printing in black-and-white
PREPARING FOR FIERY EX4112/4127 SETUP 15
• Publishing print connections
• Deleting fonts
• Controlling print jobs from the job management tools
• Overriding job settings
• Setting default settings for print options
Operator privileges
Users in the Operators group control print jobs from the job management tools, including
the following:
• Viewing the Job Log
• Deleting, viewing, and modifying other users’ print jobs
• Printing in black-and-white
Guest privileges (no password)
A user does not need a password to log on 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 EX4112/4127 state.
Fiery EX4112/4127 print connections
The Fiery EX4112/4127 supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and
Direct connection. You enable, or “publish,” these print connections 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 users more direct access to the
Fiery EX4112/4127 than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the
Direct connection in environments where maximum control is required.
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 allows users to reprint those jobs by using the job
management tools (for example, Command WorkStation).
NOTE: To use the utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection.
Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery EX4112/4127 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.
PREPARING FOR FIERY EX4112/4127 SETUP 16
Print queue
The Print queue is the standard Fiery EX4112/4127 queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are
processed and printed in the order in which 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 EX4112/4127, but only when the
Fiery EX4112/4127 is idle. If the Fiery EX4112/4127 is busy, the job remains at the user’s
computer until the Fiery EX4112/4127 is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the
previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed.
In most cases, jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery EX4112/4127
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.
Some types of jobs printed to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored
on the Fiery EX4112/4127 hard disk, but do not appear in any of the job management tools.
These job types are the following:
• PDF jobs
• TIFF jobs
• Jobs with settings for any of these print options:
– Reverse order printing (for large jobs)
– Booklet Maker
– Mixed Media
NOTE: To download fonts to the Fiery EX4112/4127, you must publish the Direct
connection.
WebTools
The Fiery EX4112/4127 supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows
and Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see “Configuring WebTools” on
page 61.
Home
Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing
on the Fiery EX4112/4127. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password.
For more information, see Utilities.
PREPARING FOR FIERY EX4112/4127 SETUP 17
Downloads
Downloads allows users to download installers for printer drivers and other software directly
from the Fiery EX4112/4127. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more
information, see Printing from Windows, Printing from Mac OS, and Utilities.
Docs
Docs allows users to access, manage, and modify jobs in their mailboxes on the Fiery EX4112/
4127, and submit jobs to the Fiery EX4112/4127. For more information, see WebTools Docs
Help.
Scan Settings
Scan Settings allows you to define scan templates from a remote computer. These scan
templates are accessible from the copier when you scan a file. The administrator has full access
to all scan templates. In addition, the administrator can create new scan templates in Scan
Settings and can import and export scan templates. For general information about scanning,
see Utilities. For information about Scan Settings, see WebTools Scan Settings Help.
Configure
Configure allows you to view and modify Fiery EX4112/4127 options from a network
computer. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see
page 56.
Additional security features
In addition to the traditional security features such as passwords, you can use these features to
keep the Fiery EX4112/4127 secure:
•E-mail access
• IP addresses and ports, and MAC addresses
• Secure Printing
• LDAP authentication
Controlling E-mail access to the Fiery EX4112/4127
Because you can allow users to print file attachments in e-mail messages sent to the
Fiery EX4112/4127, the Fiery EX4112/4127 accepts only valid attachments (for example,
PostScript or PDF files). Typically, viruses transmitted via e-mail require execution by the
receiver. Attachments that are not valid files are discarded by the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Because file types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the
Fiery EX4112/4127 does not process these file types. The Fiery EX4112/4127 also ignores
e-mails in RTF (Rich Text Format) or HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) format, and
any included JavaScript code.
PREPARING FOR FIERY EX4112/4127 SETUP 18
You can define lists of authorized e-mail addresses on the Fiery EX4112/4127. Any e-mail
that the Fiery EX4112/4127 receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is
deleted. For more information, see page 70.
Restricting IP addresses and ports, and MAC addresses
To restrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery EX4112/4127, you can permit only users
whose IP addresses or MAC addresses are within a defined range. You can also close
unnecessary ports to reject inbound access from the network. Commands or jobs sent from
unauthorized IP addresses or ports are ignored by the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Secure Printing
This option allows the printing of highly sensitive or confidential files. A user printing a file
with the printer driver assigns a password to the job. The user must then enter the password at
the copier to print the job. For more information, see Print Options, Printing from Windows,
and Printing from Mac OS.
LDAP authentication
When you enable LDAP communication to retrieve names and other information for people
at your organization, you can specify the type of authentication. For more information,
see WebTools Configure Help.

A value of 0 means that Job Batching is disabled.
Typically, the copier experiences a cycle down and cycle up sequence, which can be inefficient
for printing several jobs in sequence. By batching jobs, you prevent the copier from cycling
down, since the batched jobs are treated as a single job.
PostScript/PCL Setup
These Setup menus allow you to set printing defaults for jobs sent to the Fiery EX4112/4127.
When a user prints a job from the printer driver, the user can make a specific setting for most
print options on a job-by-job basis, and this setting is applied to the job. However, users who
send jobs without a printer driver (for example, from UNIX or DOS command lines) cannot
specify a setting and therefore must rely on the defaults that you set in Setup. For information
about these defaults, see “Setup options” on page 58.

Managing e-mail address books
You can manage e-mail/Internet Fax addresses on the Fiery EX4112/4127 by sending e-mail
messages in a particular format to the Fiery EX4112/4127. Management features are
overwriting the address book, adding new addresses, removing addresses, and retrieving
current addresses on the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Users use the address books when they send attachment files to a particular e-mail/Internet
Fax address.
NOTE: E-mail messages can be sent only from an administrator account.
The Fiery EX4112/4127 supports the following address books:
Admin allows members to modify the address book, get the current address book from
the Fiery EX4112/4127, cancel a job, or receive the status of a job. However, membership
in this address book does not provide the same privileges as the Administrator password
(page 64) does.
Print includes users who have print access. Only users whose e-mail addresses are in the
Print address book are authorized to submit jobs via e-mail to the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Unauthorized users receive an e-mail reply that their job was not accepted by the
Fiery EX4112/4127 for printing.
User includes users who have scanning access.
Fax is used for Scan to Internet FAX. This address book is used for sending scan files via
Internet FAX to the Fiery EX4112/4127. You cannot use addresses in the address book to
send an e-mail to the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Corporate is an LDAP address book used for Scan to E-mail. It allows users to send files with
Remote Scan to a list of addresses registered on an LDAP server.
NOTE: Perform LDAP Setup before setting this address book. For more information,
see WebTools Configure Help.
ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EX4112/4127 71
When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the Fiery EX4112/4127 first checks the Print
address book. If the user’s e-mail address does not match any entry in the Print address
book, the job does not print. Instead, the user receives an e-mail stating that the print job
was not accepted.
The default wildcard character “@” is stored in the Print address book. This allows any user
to print to the Fiery EX4112/4127 until the administrator adds the first entry in the
Print address book.
To manage address books, send an e-mail to the Fiery EX4112/4127 with commands in the
Subject and Message fields. The Fiery EX4112/4127 responds by e-mail with information
about each request, as described in the following table.

VDP Search Path
In Configure > PDL > VDP, use the following information for setting the file search path
for VDP objects.
Setting common global search paths
A file search path specifies where common VDP resources (for example, PostScript
images and fonts) are stored, either on a network computer or on the Fiery EX4112/4127.
The Fiery EX4112/4127 searches predefined paths until it finds the necessary resources. If the
resource is not found, the job fails. Inform users of the paths that you specify so that their jobs
can access the resources.
The Fiery EX4112/4127 searches paths for VDP resources in the following order:
1 Path that the user specifies in the job
See “Allowing users to define a search path for a single job” on page 74.
2 Paths that you define in Configure for common global objects
3 Path that the application specifies for VPS or PPML resources when it generates the
data stream
For any of these paths, the Fiery EX4112/4127 searches the folder and then the subfolders
within that folder. After the Fiery EX4112/4127 locates the first resource, it attempts to
locate the second resource in the same folder. If the second resource is not found in the same
folder, the Fiery EX4112/4127 searches according to the original order.
TO SPECIFY A GLOBAL PATH FOR COMMON VDP OBJECTS
1 Start Configure in one of the following ways:
• In a web browser, enter the IP address of the Fiery EX4112/4127 click the Configure tab,
and click Launch Configure.
• In Command WorkStation, Windows Edition, choose Server > Setup
2 Choose Configure > PDL > VDP.
3 Click Add.
4 In the window that appears, type the path name or click Browse to locate the path.
If you type the path name, use the format of a mapped drive (for example, Z:\folder) or a
UNC (for example, \\computer name\folder).
5 If the path is located on a computer that requires authentication, select Remote Server
Authentication and enter the appropriate user name and password.
6 Click OK.
7 To add more paths, click Add and repeat these steps.
8 Click Apply.
ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EX4112/4127 74
Allowing users to define a search path for a single job
A user can enter a single search path when the user sends the job from a Windows printer
driver, or when someone later overrides the job to include a search path. The path must be
fewer than 256 characters and in the format of either a mapped drive (for example, Z:\folder)
or a UNC (for example, \\computer name\folder).
To use a mapped drive, it must be recognized by the Fiery EX4112/4127. For example, if the
user specifies a path on the user’s computer (for example, C:\My Documents\VDP), the Fiery
EX4112/4127 assumes this is the C:\ drive on the Fiery EX4112/4127. In another example, if
“Z:” is a network drive that users access on their network, the Fiery EX4112/4127 does not
know the location to which “Z:” refers. Therefore, you must map a drive so that the Fiery
EX4112/4127 also recognizes the location where resources are stored.
The following procedure assumes that you use the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface. If you
do not have the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface but your Fiery EX4112/4127 supports
Remote Desktop, connect to the Fiery EX4112/4127 with Remote Desktop and use the
following procedure.
TO MAP A DRIVE TO A LETTER RECOGNIZED BY THE FIERY EX4112/4127
1 From a Windows Explorer window, choose Tools > Map Network Drive.
One method of accessing an Explorer window is to choose Start > Documents >
My Documents.
2 In the Drive menu, choose a letter that is not currently mapped.
3 In the path field, type the UNC of the network computer that contains the shared resources,
or click Browse and locate the computer on the network.
4 Click Finish.
5 If you are prompted to enter a network password, type Administrator in the Connect As field,
type the password in the Password field, and click OK.
6 Inform the user to use the drive letter in the VDP search path when the user sends the job to
the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Printing the Configuration page
The Configuration page lists the settings in effect for the current Setup. After you have
performed Setup, print a Configuration page to confirm your settings. Post the current
Configuration page near the Fiery EX4112/4127 for quick reference. Users need the
information on this page, such as the current printer default settings.
ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EX4112/4127 75

4 Type or choose the number of copies and click OK.
Maintaining optimal Fiery EX4112/4127 performance
The Fiery EX4112/4127 does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of
servicing and maintaining the copier and replenishing consumables, you can improve the
overall performance of your system by doing the following:
• Make the best use of your network connections.
Publish only connections that will be used. The Fiery EX4112/4127 constantly checks all
published connections, even if they are inactive.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate the
connections that are not being used. It is easy to re-establish them when needed.
• Leave less urgent jobs to times when there is less network traffic or printing.
You can print recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent to the Hold queue. At low-traffic
times, the administrator or a user of the job management tools with Operator privileges can
move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs to the Print queue for printing.
• Reduce unnecessary network communication.
Large numbers of users running Fiery utilities, especially with frequent updates, may have a
significant effect on Fiery EX4112/4127 performance.
• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the Fiery EX4112/4127.
Periodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue, and the number of jobs being retained
in the Printed queue.
An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed queue and Hold queue.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the Fiery EX4112/4127 is
frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue and choose not to publish the Hold queue
(in Printer Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use the job management tools. When you free up disk space
by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.
