ONNECTING

Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 on the network

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

THE

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

When the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other):

•AppleTalk

•TCP/IP, which also includes the BOOTP, DHCP, ftp, http, IMAP, lpd, nbt, POP3,

ETWORK

Port 9100, SMTP, and SNMP protocols

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

These protocols are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same cable. Computers that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned. The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

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 EXP6000/EXP5000 as a networked printer. For information about conﬁguring network servers as they relate speciﬁcally to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, see page 13. For information about using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network system.

2Physically connecting the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. Obtain cable, route it to the location where the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is to be installed (near the digital press), and attach the cable to the network connector of the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. For details, see page 22.

3 Setting Up the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000

Conﬁgure the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 for your printing and network environment (see “Setting Up the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 from a Windows Computer” on page 24).

4Preparing user computers for printing

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

Network server setup requirements

This section provides basic information about conﬁguring the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 and using it on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information speciﬁc to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 manual. For information, see the documentation that accompanies your network system.

Conﬁgure the network servers for printing to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 and ensure that there is a live network connection before you conﬁgure Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 network settings in Setup. This allows the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever you change the conﬁguration of the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, 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 Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.

Type these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them dynamically. Make sure the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.

If more than one Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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. When prompted to specify the printer name, type a name that indicates the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 print connection.

• Conﬁgure the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 with the correct Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 domain name.

This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. For Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 systems that include the FACI, open the Start Menu> Settings > Control Panel>Network> Identiﬁcation tab, and type the correct domain name. Select “Create a Computer Account in the Domain,” and type the user name and password of a user who can add computers to the speciﬁed domain. For conﬁgurations that do not include the FACI, you must add the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to the domain from a networked Windows NT 4.0/2000 server, using the Server Manager utility.

• The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 does not support the Windows 2000/Server 2003 Active Directory Service.

When you use the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 in a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server environment, assign the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to a Domain or Workgroup.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

NetWare networks

• NetWare 3.x and iPrint networks are not supported.

•You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

For more information, see the documentation that accompanies your network server.

•You can conﬁgure a single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers simultaneously.

• The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

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 assign the NetWare queue names a speciﬁc extension corresponding to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 print connection, as follows:

_print _hold _direct

OTE: These extension names must be in English and in all lowercase letters.

You do not need to perform Setup when you create or remove a NetWare queue. However, always restart the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 after you create or remove a queue.

When the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 Print queue.

• When you set the NetWare bindery context, you can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

To connect additional NetWare servers, use bindery emulation. You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

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

NDS Setup.

• The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 does not support the bidirectional communication features in NDPS.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

AppleTalk networks

AppleShare servers require no special conﬁguration.

UNIX networks

• When you conﬁgure a UNIX workstation with the lpd protocol and connect to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000.

• 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.

• The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 must be one

of the following:

print hold direct

Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Because the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000 SETUP

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 conﬁguration (or “Setup”) to specify the network environment and the types of printing you do. Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords and other security features that the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 during Setup, you (as system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling these elements:

•Print connections

•Passwords

•Access to WebTools

Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 print connections

The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 remote users more direct access to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 you to reprint those jobs. In Setup, enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs to retain in the queue (see page 27). To reprint jobs in the Printed queue, use the job management tools.

NOTE: To use the Fiery utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000 SETUP

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000, but only when the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is Idle. If the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 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.

NOTE: To download fonts to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, you must publish the

Direct connection.

Passwords

Implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 functions. The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 allows you to set the following passwords in Setup:

Administrator: from Command WorkStation or WebSetup (or local Setup, if you have

installed the FACI)

Operator: from Command WorkStation or WebSetup

NOTE: These passwords are separate from the Windows default system password.

NOTE: By default, the Administrator password is set on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, but the

Operator password is not. We strongly recommend that you change the Administrator password to protect the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 from random or accidental changes to Setup.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000 SETUP

Administrator privileges

Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control because 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 of all job data

•Deﬁning default color proﬁles

•Setting default settings for print options

Operator privileges

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

Guest privileges (no password)

A user does not need a password 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 EXP6000/ EXP5000 state.

WebTools

The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see “Conﬁguring Fiery

WebTools” on page 51.

You can set the Administrator and Operator passwords to control access to all WebTools features. If you do not speciﬁcally set these passwords, all users have access to all WebTools functions (see page 17).

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see Utilities.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000 SETUP

WebLink

WebLink provides all users with a link to an address on the Internet. To change the WebLink Internet address, see page 52. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set (see “Passwords” on page 17).

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.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF ﬁles directly to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 without opening the ﬁle in an application. It is not affected by passwords.

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 Setup options from a Windows computer. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see “Setting Up the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 from a Windows Computer” on page 24.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows users to download installers for printer drivers directly from the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see Printing

from Windows and Printing from Mac OS.

Software Updates

You can download updates to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 system software. For more information, see “System software update” on page 20.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000 SETUP

System software

The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 uses Windows XP system architecture to receive and process jobs and send job data to the digital press. Resident on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is the following software, which is unique to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000:

Server: is an independent software process that starts automatically. As the central element

of Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 system software, the Server processes and controls the spooling, rasterizing, and printing of jobs, as well as job accounting (the Job Log), storage, and retrieval.

Command WorkStation: is the interface tool for the Server process. It provides a graphical

interface for viewing and controlling Server functions.

NOTE: You cannot access Setup functions from Command WorkStation, Macintosh Edition.

System software update

The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 allows you to check for system software updates over the Internet. By clicking the Software Updates link in the main WebTools home page, you are connected to a secure web site, from which you can download software updates.

TO DOWNLOAD SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATES

1 In an Internet browser, type the IP address or DNS name of the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

2 In the main WebTools page, click Software Updates in the list of available WebTools.

If Software Updates does not appear in the list, click Conﬁgure and enable it.

3 Select the appropriate software update from the list and save it to the desktop.

4 Unzip the ﬁle if it is compressed.

Files included are update ﬁles (also called “patches”) and ReadMe ﬁles (text, PDF, or Microsoft Word documents).

5To install the update, follow the instructions in the ReadMe ﬁle.

Although the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 system software is based on the Windows XP platform, do not install third-party updates such as Microsoft Hot Fixes unless your authorized support center recommends that you do so.

Anti-virus protection

To protect against viruses, scan the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 periodically with anti-virus software. Make sure you start the anti-virus software only when the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is idle and not receiving jobs. This prevents errors that may result if the anti-virus software acts while the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 attempts to process a job.

Use anti-virus software to scan for ﬁles sent to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 outside the usual print scenarios, including ﬁles copied to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 from removable media or a shared network directory.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000 SETUP

E-mail viruses and E-mail printing

Because you can allow users to print ﬁle attachments in e-mail messages sent to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/ EXP5000. Because ﬁle types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 does not process these ﬁle types. The Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000 also ignores e-mails in RTF (Rich Text Format) or HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) format, and any included JavaScript code.

You can deﬁne a list of authorized e-mail addresses on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. Any e-mail that the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted.

IP address ﬁltering and port ﬁltering

To restrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, you can permit only users whose IP addresses are within a deﬁned range. Commands or jobs sent from unauthorized IP addresses are ignored by the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

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 type the password at the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to print the job. For more information, see Print Options.

Group Printing (Member Printing)

This feature allows you to deﬁne group names and passwords that users must type in order to print a job. The user types the group name and password from the printer driver, or from an override in Command WorkStation. The group name is included in the Job Log when the job is printed.

You can use this feature for accounting purposes and for limiting printing to users who have a valid group name and password. For more information, see Print Options.

About Setup

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000 SETUP

Setup conﬁgures the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to communicate with other devices and to manage print jobs. Perform Setup the ﬁrst time you turn on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 after new system software is loaded, or any time Server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate to allow users to print to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 and use the WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, change Setup options accordingly.

Setup from a Windows computer

Local Setup

Local Setup refers to setting up the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 using Command WorkStation from the FACI.

Remote Setup

Remote Setup is the method you use from either Fiery WebSetup or Command WorkStation on a Windows computer on the network.

Select Output for RGB jobs that you print to the ﬁnal output device. Select Simulation to simulate an output device that is not the device to which you are printing.

Use Media Deﬁned Proﬁles: Specify whether to use the Media Deﬁned Proﬁles feature.

Setting this option to On allows the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to select an Output Proﬁle according to a media type speciﬁed for the job. It also allows multiple output proﬁles to be applied to a Mixed Media job according to speciﬁed media types. Setting this option to No disables the feature, and a proﬁle selected in the Output Proﬁle option or in the ColorWise Pro Tools becomes the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 default Output Proﬁle.

Output Proﬁle: Specify the output proﬁle to be used as a default proﬁle for printing. Create

and download dditional proﬁles to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 with ColorWise Pro Tools. In local Setup, proﬁles are listed by their names. In Remote Setup, proﬁles are listed simply as Output-1, Output-2, and so forth.

Pure Black Text/Graphics: Specify whether to optimize black text/graphics and line art.

This option also minimizes toner use for documents containing both color and black-only pages.

When you select this option, black text/graphics and line art are printed with black toner only. When you clear this option, black text/graphics and line art are printed using all four toner colors.

Black Overprint: When you set this option to Text or Text/Graphics, black text and graphics

overprint on colored backgrounds. When you set this option to Off, black text and graphics knock out color backgrounds. In general, set this option to Text or Text/Graphics.

Spot Color Matching: When you select this option, the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 uses an

internal lookup table to print the best equivalents of PANTONE colors. When you clear this option, PANTONE colors are printed using the CMYK values deﬁned in the originating applications.

Exiting Setup

When you ﬁnish specifying Setup options, click OK and close the Setup dialog box. You are notiﬁed that the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 must be restarted for the new settings to take effect.

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000

Managing address books

The E-mail Service feature allows you to import a list of e-mail/Internet Fax addresses to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. To import the list of addresses, you send e-mail messages in a particular format to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

The list will be added to the address books. Users use the address books to send scan ﬁles to a particular e-mail/Internet Fax address, and the administrator uses the address books to control access to E-mail Services.

NOTE: E-mail messages can be sent only from an administrator account.

The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 supports the following address books:

• Admin: includes users with administrative access. Administrative access allows you to

modify the address book, get the current address book from the Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000, and cancel or status any print job.

•

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 EXP6000/ EXP5000. Unauthorized users receive an e-mail reply that their job was not accepted by the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 for printing.

• Fax: is used for Scan to Internet FAX. This address book is used for sending scan ﬁles

via Internet FAX to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. You cannot send an e-mail to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

E-mail Service also allows the administrator to overwrite the address book, add new addresses, remove addresses, and retrieve current addresses on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 EXP6000/EXP5000 until the administrator adds the ﬁrst entry in the Print address book.

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000

The administrator can manage the address books by sending an e-mail to the Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000 with command codes in the Subject and Message ﬁelds. The Fiery EXP6000/ EXP5000 responds by e-mail to these commands with information about each request. When managing address books, see the following table.

Maintaining optimal Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 performance

The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 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 Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 constantly checks all published connections, even if they are inactive. Match the NetWare polling interval and the number of queues or connections to the demand for printing.

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 EXP6000/EXP5000 performance.

• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.

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 EXP6000/EXP5000 is frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) 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.

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EXP6000/EXP5000

The Safe Print diagnostic feature allows the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to detect any internal errors that arise as a result of a difference between the raster output of the internal RIP and the raster sent from the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 to the digital press. When such errors are detected, the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 does not print the job, and the error reported is an under-run.

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 Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000. You must type names in speciﬁc places. The required names are:

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

Type the host name as the Server Name in Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 Setup.

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

print hold direct

NOTE: If you change the TCP/IP host name (DNS name) of the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000,

you must reconﬁgure one of the Fiery utilities on each workstation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Cannot connect to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 with Fiery utilities

If users cannot connect to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, check the following:

Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 Setup: the appropriate network protocol must be enabled, with the

correct parameters (for example, for TCP/IP, the IP address), and you must publish the Print queue or Hold queue.

Check these settings quickly by printing a Conﬁguration page.

On the client computer: the appropriate network protocols must be loaded.

Cannot connect to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 with Command WorkStation

If you encounter a problem connecting to the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000, an error message is displayed.

The problem can occur when:

• The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 is initially turned on

• The Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000 restarts

•You have changed settings affecting the server address and have not reconﬁgured the

connection to the server

If you experience this problem, try the following solutions, in this order:

•A remote workstation running Fiery utilities or WebTools may be interfering by obtaining

status information. If possible, close the remote application, and try to connect again.

•Restart the Command WorkStation software and try to connect again.

•Restart the Fiery EXP6000/EXP5000.
