1-1 Fiery on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. Check those references to ﬁnd the information you need quickly.

Fiery on the network

When the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery supports the following network protocols:

• AppleTalk

• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports Windows (SMB) printing. The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets.

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) are supported on the Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add the Fiery to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

• Physically connecting the Fiery to a functioning network

• Conﬁguring the network server

Stages of installation on the network

Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:

Prepare a network node for the Fiery—obtain cable and route it to the location where the Fiery will be installed (near the copier) and attach the cable to the network interface of the Fiery. See page 2-10 for details.

OTE

If you plan to run the Command WorkStation software from a remote

computer, you will need to install the software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along with the Fiery. See for details.

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the Fiery as a color PCL or PostScript printer. See Chapter 5 for information on conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.

Getting Started

• Setting up the Fiery

Conﬁgure the Fiery for your particular printing and network environment. First read Chapter 2, and then see the following chapters for details.

• Preparing client workstations for printing

Install the ﬁles needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Fiery over the network. These steps are described in Getting Started, and some information is provided in Chapter 5 of this manual.

• Administering the Fiery

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See Chapter 6 and the Job Management Guide for details.

UNIX Mac OS Windows

Prepare a network node. Connect the Fiery to the copier and to the network. If you use a computer running the Command WorkStation software, connect it to the network.

Conﬁgure UNIX, Windows NT 4.0 and IPX (Novell) servers to specify Fiery print queues and Fiery users.

Install PostScript printer ﬁles on the server.

No special conﬁguration of AppleShare servers is required.

On the Fiery Control Panel, conﬁgure at least the Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup. From the Control Panel, WebSetup, or the Command WorkStation, conﬁgure the remaining Setups. Calibrate the Fiery.

At each workstation that will print to the Fiery:

• Install the appropriate printer ﬁles and connect to one or more queues.

• For computers that will use them, install Fiery utilities and an Internet browser.

• Verify the Fiery in the list of printers and run a test print.

1-4 Connecting to the Network

Quick path to installation

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and running Fiery software from remote workstations. Find the page with your preferred platform and network type, and then look up the setup procedures referenced in the “Key to setup” at the top left of each diagram.

NOTE: The diagrams depict the Fiery XP12 installed with the Fiery Advanced

Controller Interface; that is, the optional keyboard, monitor, and mouse. The networking capabilities are identical for the Fiery X12, and for systems that do not have the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface.

The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology) of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star conﬁguration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical networks is beyond the scope of this manual.

If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation, combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the Fiery with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.

A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. For more information, see Appendix A, “Token Ring Network Option.”

NOTE: The IPX/SPX and TCP/IP functionality outlined in this section is available on

both Ethernet and Token Ring networks. AppleTalk is supported on Ethernet only.

TCP/IP clients can print through UNIX server or directly; requires TCP/IP and the lpr print service loaded

For running Fiery utilities and WebTools

Only a Windows 95/98, NT 4.0, or Mac OS computer with TCP/IP loaded can use these applications

Ethernet connection

For connecting to Ethernet, the Fiery supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling, deﬁned as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT; or as Category 3, Category 4, or Category 5 for use with 10BaseT. The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Fiery.

NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Fiery is 100BaseTX, also known as Fast

Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term “100BaseT” is used to refer to 100BaseTX.

TO CONNECT TO THE ETHERNET BOARD:

• Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 connector on the back of the Fiery.

A Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable must be used for 100BaseT.

Token Ring connection

For connecting to Token Ring, the Fiery supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling with an RJ-45 connector, and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) with a DB-9 connector.

If the Token Ring option is installed, you can enable both Ethernet and Token Ring simultaneously. Attach a cable to one of the Token Ring connectors, and attach a second cable to one of the Ethernet connectors. For more information, see Appendix A, “Token Ring Network Option.”

TO CONNECT TO THE TOKEN RING BOARD:

• Connect the network cable to the proper connector on the back of the Fiery.

2-1 Levels of access and control

Chapter 2: Preparing for Fiery Setup

To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial Fiery conﬁguration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do. Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access you will implement for your site. Administrators and operators must also understand how Fiery system software is structured in order to conﬁgure and use the Fiery system correctly.

Levels of access and control

When you conﬁgure the Fiery during Setup, you (as system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling or not enabling print connections, passwords, and access to Fiery WebTools. The level of control you implement can range from strict to moderate to minimal—or none at all.

• Strictest control might be appropriate for a high-volume printing environment where an administrator or operator controls the job ﬂow and all printing; jobs sent by users are spooled (stored) to the Fiery disk until the operator decides it is time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and/or operator have access to job management tools.

NOTE: The term “job management tools” is used in this manual to refer to the

Command WorkStation, Fiery Spooler, and Fiery WebSpooler.

• Least control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the local network can control all printing and Fiery functions. Although there may be an administrator or operator charged with certain duties, all users have equal access to the system and job management tools.

Fiery print connections

The Fiery supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and Direct connection. These print connections can be enabled, or “published,” 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 the Direct connection give remote users more direct access to the Fiery than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments where stricter control is desired.

2-2 Preparing for Fiery Setup

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 makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. In Setup, you enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in it (see page 3-8). Reprinting jobs in the Printed queue requires the job management tools.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery hard disk for printing at a later time or for repeated printing. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process without intervention via the job management tools (see the Job Management Guide).

Print queue

This is the standard Fiery queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator from the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

To use the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools, you must enable either the Hold queue or the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery, but only when the Fiery is not processing another job. If the Fiery is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery 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 hard disk, and they 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.

You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP.

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