CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 10

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the EX700i.

EX700i on the network

When the EX700i is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer. The
EX700i 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 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 EX700i is
autosensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 11

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 EX700i as a networked printer.
For information about configuring network servers in Windows, Mac, and UNIX network
environments as they relate specifically to the EX700i, see page 13. For information about
using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network.

2 Physically connecting the EX700i to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the EX700i. Obtain cable, route it to the location where the
EX700i is to be installed, and attach the cable to the network connector of the EX700i. For
details, see page 21.

3 Setting up the EX700i

Configure the EX700i for your printing and network environment (see page 32).

4 Preparing 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.

5 Administering the EX700i

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise
(see “Administering the Fiery Controller” on page 38).

Network Server Setup requirements

This section provides basic information about configuring the EX700i and using it on the
network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information
specific to the EX700i 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 the
documentation that accompanies your network.

Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before
you configure EX700i network settings in Setup. This allows the EX700i to query the
network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever you change the configuration of the EX700i, digital press, 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 EX700i requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.

Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP protocols to assign them dynamically. Make
sure the EX700i name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name
database used by your system.

If more than one EX700i 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 EX700i 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 EX700i to a domain. If you
assign the EX700i to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.

AppleTalk networks

AppleShare servers require no special configuration.

To allow Mac OS X computers to access Bonjour printers, you must enable Bonjour on the
EX700i.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 14

UNIX networks

• When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the EX700i over
a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the EX700i.

• Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial
configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer.

• The EX700i is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.

• The EX700i has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it
successfully.

Regardless of the UNIX system you use, the name that you use for the remote
printer (or
must be one of the following

PREPARING FOR EX700I SETUP 15

PREPARING FOR EX700I SETUP

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial EX700i 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 EX700i 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 EX700i 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 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 create to a group, you can add users from your
organization’s global address list if LDAP services is enabled on the EX700i.

The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy.
For more information, including specific procedures, see Configure Help.

PREPARING FOR EX700I SETUP 16

User authentication

The term “user authentication” means that the EX700i verifies that a user who is sending a
job belongs to a group, and that the group has printing privileges (“Print in B&W” or “Print
in Color and B&W”).

By default, the EX700i 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” check box (Configure > Users and Groups). If
this option is selected, anyone can print to the EX700i.

If you require users to specify their user name and password (that is, you have cleared the
“Allow users to print without authentication” check box), users must type this information in
the printer driver when they print. 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 is sent
to the EX700i).

Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that
FTP jobs are authenticated (Configure > Network > Services > FTP > Require Password for
Printing).

Passwords

When you create a new user in 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

By default, the Administrator password is set on the EX700i. Change the Administrator
password periodically to protect the EX700i from accidental or malicious changes to Setup.
For more information, see “Setting passwords” on page 39.

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.

PREPARING FOR EX700I SETUP 17

Administrator privileges

Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges
include:

• Configuring the EX700i with the Configure WebTool

• 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 EX700i of all job data

• Printing in black-and-white or color

• Publishing print connections

• Deleting fonts

• Controlling print jobs from the job management tools

• Overriding job settings

• Setting default settings for print options

• Calibrating the EX700i

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 or color

• Calibrating the EX700i

• Printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log

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 the EX700i state.

PREPARING FOR EX700I SETUP 18

EX700i print connections

The EX700i supports the following 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
EX700i 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 Print queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs
from the Print queue. The Print 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 EX700i hard disk drive 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 EX700i 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 EX700i, but only when the EX700i is
Idle. If the EX700i is busy, the job remains at the user’s computer until the EX700i 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 EX700i 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.

PREPARING FOR EX700I SETUP 19

Some types of jobs printed to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored on the
EX700i hard disk, but do not appear in any of the job management tools. These job types are:

• PDF jobs

• TIFF jobs

• Jobs with settings for any of the following print options:

– Reverse order printing (for large jobs)

– Booklet Maker

– Mixed Media

– Combine Separations

NOTE: To download fonts to the EX700i, you must publish the Direct connection.

WebTools

The EX700i supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS
computers. To enable use of WebTools, see “Configuring WebTools” on page 37.

Home

Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the
EX700i. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information, see

Utilities.

Downloads

Downloads allows users to download installers for printer drivers and other software directly
from the EX700i. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information,
see Printing and Utilities.

Docs

Docs allows users to access, manage, and modify jobs on the EX700i, and submit jobs to the
EX700i. 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 digital press 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 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 EX700i options from a network computer. This
function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see page 32.

PREPARING FOR EX700I SETUP 20

Additional security features

In addition to traditional security features such as passwords, you can use these features to
keep the EX700i secure:

•E-mail access

• IP addresses, ports, and MAC addresses

• Secure Printing

• LDAP authentication

Controlling E-mail access to the EX700i

Because you can allow users to print file attachments in e-mail messages sent to the EX700i,
the EX700i 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 EX700i.

Because file types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the
EX700i does not process these file types. The EX700i 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 EX700i. Any e-mail that the
EX700i receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted. For more
information, see page 52.

Restricting IP addresses, ports, and MAC addresses

To restrict unauthorized connections to the EX700i, 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 EX700i.

Make sure that the Network Security option in Setup from the digital press touch panel is
selected. If you clear this option, IP address, ports, and Mac address filtering are disabled. For
more information, see page 30.

Secure Printing

This option allows the printing of highly sensitive or confidential files with user
authentication. A user printing a file with the printer driver assigns a password to the job. The
user must then enter the password at the digital press to print the job. You assign passwords in
Configure using Users and Groups. For more information about assigning passwords to users
and groups, see Configure Help. For more information about how to print a secure job with a
password, see Printer Driver Help.

Setup tab

The Setup tab allows you to configure the EX700i so that it is operational on your network.
Use Setup from the digital press touch panel to perform minimum Network Setup to put the
EX700i on the network.

Use Configure to specify any remaining Setup options. Access Configure from WebTools or
Command WorkStation.

EX700i Setup from the digital press touch panel

When you perform EX700i Setup from the digital press touch panel, you configure the
EX700i to receive jobs over the network systems that are used at your site, including setting
network addresses and names to be used by computers, servers, and the EX700i when they
communicate with each other.

Before performing Setup, confirm that the EX700i is connected to an active network. The
EX700i queries the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues. If you perform
Network Setup without a connected and functioning network, default settings are used that
may not meet your needs.

Configure options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If your
network requirements change, you can change Setup at any time. If the EX700i is configured
to enable more than one protocol, it automatically switches to the correct protocol when it
receives a print job.

The submenus and options appear in sequence. Default values, where applicable, are
underlined. Words shown in italics indicate that a product- or site-specific value is displayed.

Server Name

Default server name

Enter a name for the EX700i (up to 15 characters long). This is the name by which the

Updating system and user software

Using the tools System Updates and Check for Product Updates (Software Downloads Site),
you can obtain updates to EX700i System Software and User Software from a secure site on
the Internet (referred to throughout this documentation as the Update Server).

Before updating the EX700i

Keep in the mind the following before updating the EX700i using System Updates or Check
for Product Updates:

• If you reinstall system software onto the EX700i HDD from DVDs, all patches and
updates previously downloaded and installed are deleted and must be reinstalled. You
should obtain the most recent patches from the Update Server immediately after system
software is reinstalled.

• If the EX700i is behind a firewall and unable to access the Internet, the site administrator
can configure a proxy server at the customer’s organization to allow the EX700i to receive
updates (see page 44).

• While updates are being installed, you cannot print to the EX700i. Schedule the
automatic updates when no one plans to print. While updates are being installed, the
EX700i may need to reboot several times.

• To view updates that have already been installed, print the Configuration page or access
Check Now and click the History tab (see “Using Check Now” on page 44). Check Now
is available when you access System Updates directly from the Fiery Advanced Controller

Managing e-mail address books

You can manage e-mail/Internet Fax addresses on the EX700i by sending e-mail messages in a
particular format to the EX700i. Management features are overwriting the address book,
adding new addresses, removing addresses, and retrieving current addresses on the EX700i.

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 EX700i supports the following address books:

Admin allows members to modify the address book, get the current address book from

the EX700i, 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 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 EX700i. Unauthorized
users receive an e-mail reply that their job was not accepted by the
EX700i 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 EX700i. You cannot use addresses in the address book to send an e-mail
to the EX700i.

NOTE: Perform LDAP Setup before setting this address book. For more information, see

Configure Help.

When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the EX700i 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 EX700i until the administrator adds the first entry in the Print address book.

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY CONTROLLER 53

To manage address books, send an e-mail to the EX700i with commands in the Subject and
Message fields. The EX700i responds by e-mail with information about each request, as
described in the following table.

To add or remove more than one address at a time, list the addresses on separate lines in the
message field of the e-mail.

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 EX700i for quick reference. Users need the information on this
page, such as the current printer default settings.

TO PRINT THE CONFIGURATION PAGE FROM COMMAND WORKSTATION

• In Command WorkStation, choose File > Print > Server Configuration.

or

• In Command WorkStation, select Device Center > General > Server Configuration > Complete
Summary > Print> Print.

TO PRINT THE CONFIGURATION PAGE FROM THE DIGITAL PRESS TOUCH PANEL

1 Press Services on the digital press.

2 On the digital press touch panel, press Web Applications.

3 Press the Info tab and press Print Pages.

4 Press Configuration.

5Press Yes.

Maintaining optimal EX700i performance

The EX700i does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of servicing and
maintaining the digital press 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 EX700i 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 EX700i performance.

• Make sure that you have adequate disk space on the EX700i.

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 print queue and hold queue.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the EX700i 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.

Troubleshooting the EX700i

TROUBLESHOOTING 58

This chapter provides troubleshooting tips.

Startup diagnostics are described in the documentation for service technicians. Contact your
authorized service/support center if you see startup error messages on Command
WorkStation or if the EX700i does not reach Idle.

Runtime error messages

For error messages related to canceling jobs and printing, including the Disk Full message and
alerts to load media, see Command WorkStation Help.

You can turn on PostScript error reporting as a print option from Mac OS applications.

Printer not found

Most failures to find a printer on the network are due to conflicting or missing name or
address settings for the EX700i. You must enter names in specific places. The required names
are:

• TCP/IP host name (also known as the DNS name), which is defined by your organization.

Enter the host name as the Server Name in EX700i Setup.

• Remote printer (internal machine) name. Use one of the following:

print
hold
direct

OTE: If you change the DNS name (TCP/IP host name) of the EX700i, you must
