CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery EX4112/4127.
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.
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:
1Configuring 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.
2Physically 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.
3Setting up the Fiery EX4112/4127
Configure the Fiery EX4112/4127 for your printing and network environment (see page 21).
4Preparing user computers for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install user software, and connect the user computers to the network. The software installation is described in Printing from Windows and Printing from Mac OS.

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.
•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.
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.

•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
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.
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
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).
|

|
|
|
|
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
|
|

|
|
|
|
•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.
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.
|

|
|
|
|
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.
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.

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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Setup configures the Fiery EX4112/4127 to communicate with other devices and to manage print jobs. Perform Setup the first time you turn on the Fiery EX4112/4127 after new system software is loaded, or any time Server software is reinstalled. When the network or user printing environment changes, change the options accordingly.
NOTE: You cannot access Setup functions from Command WorkStation, Macintosh Edition.
Make settings for Printer Setup, Network Setup, and Services, in that sequence. After the initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the Control Panel (page 22) or a network computer (page 56). Most Setup options can be set using either of these methods.
If you do not make settings in the remaining Setup menus, the Fiery EX4112/4127 uses default settings. You must choose settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.
To set up the Fiery EX4112/4127 from a network computer, use Configure (page 56). Access Configure either from WebTools or Command WorkStation, Windows Edition.
