ONNECTING

Fiery EXP8000 on the network

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

THE

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery EXP8000.

When the Fiery EXP8000 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The Fiery EXP8000 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, POP3,

ETWORK

Port 9100, SMTP, and SNMP protocols

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

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 mentioned. The Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 as a networked printer. For information about conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments as they relate speciﬁcally to the Fiery EXP8000, see page 12. For information about using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network system.

2Physically connecting the Fiery EXP8000 to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the Fiery EXP8000. Obtain cable and attach the cable to the network connector of the Fiery EXP8000. For details, see page 20.

3 Setting up the Fiery EXP8000

Conﬁgure the Fiery EXP8000 for your printing and network environment (see Setting Up

the Fiery EXP8000 from a Network Computer).

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.

5Administering the Fiery EXP8000

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise (see Administering the Fiery EXP8000).

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

Network server setup requirements

This section provides basic information about conﬁguring the Fiery EXP8000 and using it on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information speciﬁc to the Fiery EXP8000 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 and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before you conﬁgure Fiery EXP8000 network settings in Setup. This allows the Fiery EXP8000 to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever you change the conﬁguration of the Fiery EXP8000, 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000 name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.

If more than one Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000 to a domain. If you assign the Fiery EXP8000 to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

NetWare networks

•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 EXP8000 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

NetWare 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.

Append one of the following sufﬁxes that corresponds to the Fiery EXP8000 print connection to the end of the NetWare queue names as follows:

_print _hold _direct

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

You do not need to perform Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue. However, always restart the Fiery EXP8000 after you create or remove a queue that will be connected to the print server used by the Fiery EXP8000.

When the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print sufﬁx are sent to the Fiery EXP8000 Print queue.

•You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery EXP8000.

NOTE: The NetWare bindery server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you

selected in NDS Setup, if both NDS and bindery are used by the Fiery EXP8000.

AppleTalk networks

AppleShare servers require no special conﬁguration.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

UNIX networks

• When you conﬁgure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the Fiery EXP8000 over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Fiery EXP8000.

• 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 EXP8000 is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.

• The Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 must be one of the

following:

print hold direct

Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 SETUP

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000 during Setup, you (as system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling these elements:

•Print connections

•Passwords

•Access to WebTools

Fiery EXP8000 print connections

The Fiery EXP8000 supports three print connections: Print queue, Hold 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 EXP8000 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 25). To reprint jobs in the Printed queue, use the job management tools (Command WorkStation).

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

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000, but only when the Fiery EXP8000 is Idle. If the Fiery EXP8000 is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000, you must publish the Direct connection.

Passwords

Implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery EXP8000 functions. The Fiery EXP8000 allows you to set the following passwords:

•Administrator

•Operator

•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 EXP8000, but the Operator password is not. We strongly recommend that you change the Administrator password to protect the Fiery EXP8000 from random or accidental changes to Setup. For more information, see “Setting passwords” on page 47.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000 state.

WebTools

The Fiery EXP8000 supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see “Conﬁguring WebTools” on page 45.

Home

Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery EXP8000. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information, see

Utilities.

Print allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF ﬁles directly to the Fiery EXP8000 without opening the ﬁle in an application. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP

Conﬁgure

Conﬁgure allows you to view and modify Fiery EXP8000 options from a network computer. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see Setting Up the

Fiery EXP8000 from a Network Computer.

Downloads

Downloads allows users to download installers for printer drivers and other software directly from the Fiery EXP8000. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information, see Printing from Windows, Printing from Mac OS, and Utilities.

Control level examples

The following table shows how print connections, passwords, and WebTool access are used together to create varying levels of security. The columns between Minimum Security and Maximum Security represent increasing levels of security.

Maximum Security

E-mail viruses and E-mail printing

Because you can allow users to print ﬁle attachments in e-mail messages sent to the Fiery EXP8000, the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000. Because ﬁle types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the Fiery EXP8000 does not process these ﬁle types. The Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000. Any e-mail that the Fiery EXP8000 receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted. For more information, see page 53.

PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP

IP address ﬁltering and port ﬁltering

To r estrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery EXP8000, 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 EXP8000.

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 Fiery EXP8000 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 enter in order to print a job. The user enters 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.

General/Server options

You can specify Fiery EXP8000 system settings that affect all users, such as the name of the Fiery EXP8000, system date and time, passwords, and Job Log printing.

Server Name allows you to assign a name for the Fiery EXP8000. This name appears in the

Chooser on an AppleTalk network.

NOTE: Do not use the device name (DC8000-DC7000) as the server name. If you have more

than one Fiery EXP8000, do not assign them the same name.

Date and Time sets the system date and time of the Fiery EXP8000. Press Set and enter the

correct date and time. You can also set the date and time automatically by specifying an Internet time server.

Passwords see page 47.

Auto Print Job Log Every 55 Jobs specifies whether the Fiery EXP8000 prints the Job Log

after every 55 jobs. The Job Log lists the last 55 jobs processed on the Fiery EXP8000, with accounting information about each one, including user name, document name, time and date printed, number of pages, and other job information.

Auto Clear Job Log Every 55 Jobs speciﬁes whether the Fiery EXP8000 clears the Job Log after

every 55 jobs. If you do not select this option, the Fiery EXP8000 saves a ﬁle containing a record of all jobs ever printed. Since this ﬁle takes up space on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk, clearing the Job Log frees up additional disk space.

Password Protect Job Log requires users to enter the Administrator password before printing

or deleting the Job Log.

Job Log Page Size selects a paper size for the printed Job Log.

Enable Printed Queue enables the Printed queue, a storage location on the Fiery EXP8000

hard disk for recently printed jobs. You can reprint jobs from the Printed queue without resending them to the Fiery EXP8000. If the Printed queue is not enabled, jobs are deleted from the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk immediately after they are printed.

Jobs Saved in Printed Queue speciﬁes the number of jobs stored in the Printed queue. Jobs in

the Printed queue take up space on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk.

Use Character Set speciﬁes whether the job management tools use the Macintosh, DOS, or

Windows character set for displaying ﬁle names. This is important if a ﬁle name includes accented or composite characters (such as é or æ). For mixed-platform networks, select the setting that gives the best overall representation of the special characters you use.

SETTING UP THE FIERY EXP8000 FROM A NETWORK COMPUTER

Enable Previews While Processing speciﬁes whether a preview thumbnail is displayed in

CMYK Simulation Method

Quick, Full (Source GCR), F (Output GCR)

ull

Quick simulation assumes that the digital press toners match the printer’s inks, and all changes affect only one color (C, M, Y, or K) at a time. Full (Source GCR) simulation allows for more ﬂexibility in matching toner to ink and all changes interact to maintain a better color balance. Full (Output GCR) offers accurate prooﬁng by providing a colorimetric conversion of all four plates. In this simulation method, the black (K) plate is mixed into the CMY plates, then reseparated based on the Output proﬁle.

Clearing the Fiery EXP8000

The Clear Server command allows you to clear all queued print jobs from the Fiery EXP8000 Print, Hold, and Printed queues. Jobs can also be deleted, either individually or as a group, using Command WorkStation. Clear Server also clears all jobs archived on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk, the index of archived jobs, and all FreeForm masters.

TO CLEAR THE FIERY EXP8000

• In Command WorkStation, choose Clear Server from the Server menu.

Be sure to back up your original data on your own media at the same time you store and save data on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk. Never damage the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk, and do not turn off the system while accessing the hard disk. For instructions on how to turn on and turn off the Fiery EXP8000, see page 59.

If the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk or system software experiences technical difﬁculties, data stored and saved on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk may be irretrievably lost. If problems with the hard disk occur, extended storage of the following data cannot be assured:

• Third-party fonts

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EXP8000

Managing e-mail address books

The E-mail Service feature allows you to import a list of e-mail/Internet Fax addresses to the Fiery EXP8000. To import the list of addresses, you send e-mail messages in a particular format to the Fiery EXP8000.

The list will be added to the address books. Users use the address books to send attachment 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000, 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 EXP8000. Unauthorized users receive an e-mail reply that their job was not accepted by the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000. You cannot send an e-mail to the Fiery EXP8000.

E-mail Service also allows the administrator to overwrite the address book, add new addresses, remove addresses, and retrieve current addresses on the Fiery EXP8000.

When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the Fiery EXP8000 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 will receive 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 EXP8000 until the administrator adds the ﬁrst entry in the Print address book.

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EXP8000

The administrator can manage the address books by sending an e-mail to the Fiery EXP8000 with command codes in the Subject and Message ﬁelds. The Fiery EXP8000 responds by e-mail to these commands with information about each request. When managing address books, see the following table.

NOTE: 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.

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY EXP8000

Maintaining optimal Fiery EXP8000 performance

The Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000 performance.

• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the Fiery EXP8000.

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 EXP8000 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 EXP8000

Shutting down, rebooting, and restarting the Fiery EXP8000

Generally, you can leave the Fiery EXP8000 and the digital press running all the time. This section describes how to shut down, reboot, and restart the Fiery EXP8000 when necessary.

Shutting down the Fiery EXP8000

When you must shut down the Fiery EXP8000, fonts downloaded to the Fiery EXP8000 are not deleted. Jobs in the Print and Hold queues and jobs that have been processed but not printed are not deleted and are available for printing when you reboot or restart the Fiery EXP8000.

TO SHUT DOWN THE FIERY EXP8000

1 Ensure that the Fiery EXP8000 is not receiving, processing, or printing any ﬁles.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting the Fiery EXP8000

TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter provides troubleshooting tips.

Startup diagnostics are described in the documentation for service technicians. Contact your authorized service/support center if you see error messages while Command WorkStation is starting or if the Fiery EXP8000 does not reach the Idle state.

Safe Print

The Safe Print diagnostic feature allows the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000 to the digital press. When such errors are detected, the Fiery EXP8000 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.

For error messages related to the digital press, see the documentation that accompanies your digital press.

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 EXP8000. 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 EXP8000 Setup.

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

print hold direct

NOTE: If you change the DNS name (also known as the TCP/IP host name) of the

Fiery EXP8000, you must reconﬁgure one of the utilities on each workstation.
