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.

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.

2-3 Levels of access and control

Passwords

You can implement password requirements as a means of controlling access to Fiery functions. The Fiery allows for the following passwords to be set in Setup:

• Administrator—from the Control Panel, the Command WorkStation, or Fiery WebSetup

• Operator—from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery. If you do not speciﬁcally set

passwords, all users will have administrator privileges, which include access to important functions such as Setup (including setting passwords), and job control. It is strongly recommended that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the Fiery from random or accidental changes to Setup.

Administrator privileges

Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control, since 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, clearing the Fiery of all job data, and setting the WebLink destination.

When performing a function from the Fiery Control Panel that prompts you for the Administrator password, you must enter it promptly. Otherwise, the Fiery Control Panel returns to Idle, and you must start over again.

Operator privileges

Operator control includes control of print jobs from the job management tools (including the ability to override job settings), and the ability to perform calibration and override calibration settings.

Guest privileges (no password)

No password is needed for a user 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 state.

2-4 Preparing for Fiery Setup

Fiery WebTools

The Fiery can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers. To enable use of Fiery WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:

• Enable TCP/IP

• Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery

• Enable Web Services

Instead of manually assigning the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, you can use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to assign some or all of these addresses (see page 3-15).

Passwords can be set to control access to Fiery WebTools features. If you do not speciﬁcally set these passwords, all users have access to all Fiery WebTools functions (see page 2-3).

Fiery WebTools include Status, WebSpooler, WebLink, WebDownloader, WebSetup, and Installer.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery. It is not affected by any password setting. For more information, see the Printing Guide.

WebSpooler

The WebSpooler interface is very similar to that of the Command WorkStation. It allows remote users to preview, manipulate, reorder, reprint, and delete jobs currently spooling, processing, or printing on the Fiery. It also allows the administrator to use the DocBuilder tool (Thumbnails A and B) and to view, print, or delete the Job Log.

Fiery WebSpooler access can be controlled by setting an Operator password in Setup. If you set a password, only users with that password can manipulate jobs from Fiery WebSpooler. A user who does not have the password can still log in to Fiery WebSpooler as a Guest with view-only access (see page 2-3). For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

2-5 Levels of access and control

WebLink

WebLink provides all users with a link to a pre-set Fiery WebLink destination. To change the WebLink destination, see page 5-13. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set. See “Passwords” on page 2-3.

NOTE: If no Administrator password has been set, any user can change the WebLink

destination, which affects all users. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you set an Administrator password.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to download PostScript, PCL, PDF, and ASCII ﬁles directly to the Fiery without ﬁrst opening the ﬁle in an application.

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery Setup options from a remote workstation. For more information, see Chapter 4.

NOTE: Fiery WebSetup is supported on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0

computers only.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows users to download printer ﬁles installers directly from the Fiery. It is not affected by any password setting. For more information, see Getting Started.

2-6 Preparing for Fiery Setup

1. (Least control—not recommended) No designated administrator or operator

2. A designated administrator but no designated operator

Control level scenarios

Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from least control to strictest control, are described in this section. Choose the scenario that best matches your site requirements, and then refer to the corresponding number in the table for guidance on how to conﬁgure your system for those requirements.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended you set at least an Administrator password to prevent

unauthorized changes to system settings.

All users have equal access to all system functions including Setup, clearing the Fiery, deleting printer fonts, setting the WebLink destination, performing calibration, printing to all Fiery print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, but all other system functions are accessible to all users, including performing calibration, printing to all Fiery print connections, and managing all jobs from the job management tools.

3. A designated administrator and a superuser operator

Only an administrator can perform Setup and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from the job management tools. Users can print to all Fiery print connections.

2-7 Levels of access and control

4. A designated administrator and a designated operator, no Fiery WebTool access

5. (Strictest control) A designated administrator and a designated operator,

Only an administrator can perform Setup, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from the job management tools; users can print to the Hold queue and the Print queue, but not to the Direct connection; the operator controls all job ﬂow, but jobs sent to the Print queue may not require operator intervention; no access to Fiery WebTools.

no Fiery WebTool access, operator controls all jobs

Only an administrator can perform Setup, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from the job management tools; users can print only to the Hold queue; the administrator and the operator have complete control of job ﬂow; no access to Fiery WebTools.

2-8 Preparing for Fiery Setup

Fiery system software

The Fiery uses Windows NT Workstation system architecture to receive and process jobs and send job data to the copier. To log in to the Fiery, enter Administrator as the user name, and enter the password.

NOTE: Conﬁguring and monitoring the Windows NT 4.0 functions from the Fiery

require the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface option. For more information, contact your authorized service/support technician.

Running on the Windows NT 4.0 Workstation is the following software unique to the Fiery:

• Server—The Server is an independent software process that is started automatically whenever Windows NT 4.0 is booted. As the central element of Fiery system software, the Server process controls the spooling, rasterizing, and printing of jobs, as well as job accounting (the Job Log), and job storage and retrieval.

When the Server is not running, jobs cannot be received by the Fiery, job processing cannot occur, job data cannot be transferred to the copier for printing, and the Command WorkStation cannot connect to the Fiery. In the event that you need to restart the Server process, right-click the FieryBar and choose Restart Fiery.

• Command WorkStation—The Command WorkStation is the interface tool for the Server. It provides a graphical means of viewing and controlling Server functions.

About Setup

Setup conﬁgures the Fiery to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. It is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery is powered on after new system software is loaded, or after server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate for getting the Fiery to reach Idle status, but not for full functionality. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can change Setup options accordingly.

Initial Setup must be performed at the Fiery Control Panel. Conﬁgure at least Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that order. Afterwards, you can complete or change most Setup options from a Windows computer using the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup.

2-9 About Setup

Local Setup from the Fiery

Subsequent Setup can also be performed locally at the Fiery using Server Setup, a Windows NT Control Panel. Some of the settings you specify in Server Setup conﬁgure the Server process (such as print job defaults) while some conﬁgure the Windows NT Workstation environment (such as system date and time). Depending on the settings you change in Server Setup, Windows NT 4.0 must be restarted before your changes take effect.

Setup options for local Setup are divided into three groups:

General Setup System settings, passwords, and Job Log options

Network Setup All the active network systems that will transmit print jobs

to the Fiery

Printer Setup Fiery print connections to be made available to users, and

color defaults for jobs

The other Setup applications (the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup) have different interfaces, but allow you to set most of the same options.

Network server setup requirements

For Token Ring, Novell, and Windows NT 4.0 (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must be conﬁgured for printing to the Fiery before you conﬁgure Fiery network settings in Setup. The diagrams in Chapter 1 provide chapter references for network server setup.

To conﬁgure network settings in Setup, you need a live network connection so the Fiery can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the conﬁguration of the Fiery, the copier, or the network itself changes at your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options as well.

2-10 Preparing for Fiery Setup

Ensuring the copier connection

Complete the following steps before you conﬁgure the Fiery and the workstations that will print to the Fiery. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.

TO PREPARE FOR FIERY CONFIGURATION:

1. Print a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally.

2. Turn off the copier and connect the interface cable from the copier to the Fiery.

3. To conﬁrm this connection, turn on the copier and the Fiery and print a Test Page from the Fiery Control Panel.

To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to display the Functions menu. Choose Print Pages, and then Test Page.

4. With both the copier and the Fiery turned off, connect the network cable to the Fiery, as described in Chapter 1.

The network should already be installed and operational.

5. Turn on the copier and then the Fiery.

6. Prepare network servers to share Fiery user software and to enable networked users to print to the Fiery.

See Chapter 5 for details.

7. Perform Fiery Setup as described in Chapter 3.

3-1 About Fiery Setup

Chapter 3:

Performing Setup from the Control Panel

Setup is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery is turned on after new system software is loaded. In this initial Setup, you (or the service technician who loads the software) choose the language you want to use for Fiery Control Panel menus and messages.

About Fiery Setup

In initial Setup, you must conﬁgure at least Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that order, from the Control Panel. If you don’t conﬁgure the remaining Setups, the Fiery uses default settings. These defaults allow the Fiery to reach the Idle state, but might not allow users to print to the Fiery. You need to make settings appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Making changes to Setup

After initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the Control Panel (page 3-2), Fiery Server Setup (a Windows NT 4.0 application), Fiery WebSetup, or the Command WorkStation (page 4-3). Most Setup options can be set from any of these methods.

NOTE: Conﬁguring and monitoring the Windows NT 4.0 functions on the Fiery

require the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface option. For more information, contact your authorized service/support technician.

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows NT 4.0 (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must be conﬁgured for printing to the Fiery before you conﬁgure Fiery network settings in Setup. You need a live network connection so the Fiery can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-9 give chapter references for network server setup.

You must configure the Fiery with the correct Windows NT domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. For Fiery systems that include the Fiery Advanced Controller option, open the Start Menu > Settings > Network > Identification tab, and enter the correct domain name. You must also check “Create a Computer Account in the Domain”, and enter the user name and password of a user that can add workstations to the specified domain.

3-2 Performing Setup from the Control Panel

For configurations that do not include the Fiery Advanced Controller option, you need to add the Fiery to the domain from a Windows NT 4.0 server on the network using the Server Manager utility.

Whenever the configuration of the Fiery, the copier, or the network itself changes at your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment. Likewise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the corresponding settings. Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options as well.

Fiery Setup from the Control Panel

Setup performed from the Control Panel conﬁgures the Fiery to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs sent to it.

Setup provides these groups of options:

• Server Setup to specify system options

• Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that transmit print jobs to

the Fiery

• Printer Setup to specify how print jobs and queues are managed

• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings

• PCL Setup to specify PCL settings

• Color Setup to specify color settings

• Job Log Setup to specify how the Fiery handles its log of printed jobs

The Change Password option in the Setup menu allows you to create and change an administrator password on the Fiery. For the Fiery XP12 only, the Font Archiving

XP12

menu provides a convenient method to back up and restore fonts.

3-3 Fiery Setup from the Control Panel

The start page displays information about the Fiery, including the server name, current date and time, amount of memory installed in the Fiery, last calibration date, network protocols enabled, and connections published.

Use Character Set Macintosh/DOS/Windows [Macintosh]

Specify whether the Control Panel and the Command WorkStation should use the Macintosh, DOS, or Windows character set for displaying ﬁlenames. This is important if ﬁlenames include accented or composite characters (such as é or æ).

For mixed-platform networks, choose the option that gives the best overall representation of the special characters you use.

Enable Printed Queue Yes/No [Yes]

Specify whether to enable the Printed queue, which creates a storage location on the Fiery disk for recent jobs that were printed from the Print queue. Users with Administrator or Operator access to the job management tools can reprint jobs from the Printed queue without sending them to the Fiery again. If you select No, jobs are deleted from the Fiery disk immediately after they are printed.

Jobs Saved in Printed Queue 1-99 [10]

This option appears only if Enable Printed Queue is set to Yes. Specify the number of jobs to be stored in the Printed queue. Jobs in the Printed queue take up space on the Fiery hard disk. If disk space is low, use a smaller value for saved jobs.

CMYK Simulation Profile SWOP-Coated (EFI) / DIC (EFI)/ Euroscale (EFI)/None [SWOP-Coated (EFI)]

CMYK simulation allows color correction to simulate printed output on a commercial press, so that the Fiery output can be used for prooﬁng. The SWOP-Coated standard is used in the United States, DIC in Japan, and Euroscale in Europe. Custom simulations are user deﬁned and named. The simulations provided with the Fiery have the designation “EFI” after their names.

If any custom simulations have been created and loaded on the Fiery with ColorWise Pro Tools, they also appear in the list of simulations. A custom simulation can be selected as the default simulation. See the Color Guide for more information about custom simulations.

CMYK Simulation Method Quick/Full [Quick]

Quick simulation assumes that the copier toners match the printer’s inks, and all changes affect only one color (C, M, Y, or K) at a time. Full simulation allows for more ﬂexibility in matching toner to ink and all changes interact to maintain a better color balance.

RGB Separation Output/Simulation [Output]

Chapter 4: Setting up the Fiery from a Windows Computer

After you have performed initial Setup (Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup) from the Control Panel, you can complete or change most Setup options from a Windows computer.

Accessing Setup

In addition to using the Control Panel, you can set up the Fiery two ways: locally and remotely. Local Setup is for systems with the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface. Local Setup uses a Windows NT 4.0 application, Fiery Server Setup. Remote Setup is performed from a Windows computer using Fiery WebSetup or the Command WorkStation.

NOTE: In this chapter, illustrations for both Setup interfaces, where applicable, appear

side by side: local Setup on the left, remote Setup on the right. Some Setup options cannot be accessed from remote Setup; use local Setup or the Fiery Control Panel instead.

Regardless of how you access Setup, you must log in as Administrator, both at the Fiery and within the Setup application you use. After the Fiery is rebooted, log in at the Windows NT 4.0 Logon window with Administrator as the login name and the password if required. This login and password are the Windows NT 4.0 login and password.

To use the Setup applications (Fiery WebSetup or the Command WorkStation), you must enter the Fiery Administrator password. This is set either from the Control Panel, Fiery WebSetup, or the Command WorkStation.

See Getting Started for information on the Command WorkStation and Fiery WebSetup system requirements and installation instructions.

every 55 jobs. The Job Log lists the last 55 jobs processed on the Fiery, 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—Specify whether the Fiery clears the Job Log after

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

You can clear the Job Log manually at any time from the job management tools. The Job Log is also cleared when you clear the Fiery with the Clear Server command.

Job Log Page Size—Select the size of paper to print the Job Log on.

Network Setup

Network Setup conﬁgures the Fiery to receive print jobs over the networks that are used at your site. If the Fiery is conﬁgured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically switches to the correct protocol when it receives a print job. When the parallel port and one or two network ports are enabled, print jobs can be received over all ports at the same time.

You can view and specify the following network settings in Network Setup:

• Adapters and ports—view currently conﬁgured network adapters and port settings

• Protocols—including AppleTalk, IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP

• Print Services—including LPD printing (TCP/IP), NetWare printing (PServer),

Windows print sharing (SMB), HTTP support (WWW), and Port 9100 printing

Adapters/Ports

From local Setup only, the installed network boards are displayed. You cannot change this information. From remote Setup, you can enable Ethernet or Token Ring. You can also enable the parallel port, regardless of the network type you use. These options are described in the next section.

4-9 General Setup options

Ethernet (Port Setup)

Enable Ethernet—Select if the Fiery is to be connected to an Ethernet network.

Transmission Speed—Select Auto Detect if your network environment is mixed, or

select the speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) of the network to which the Fiery is attached.

Parallel Port (Port Setup)

Enable Parallel Port—Select if you want to print through the parallel port. You can

connect a single Windows computer to the parallel port and print directly to the Fiery.

NOTE: Enabling the parallel port does not conﬂict with using Ethernet or Token Ring

communication with the Fiery.

Ignore EOF Character—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this option

specifies that the Fiery should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages. Check this box to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal circumstances, the box should not be checked. When this option is selected, the Fiery uses the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file has been reached.

4-10 Setting up the Fiery from a Windows Computer

Parallel Port Timeout (seconds)—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this

setting determines how long the Fiery waits without receiving data from the parallel port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the Fiery cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to receive network print jobs.

Token Ring (Port Setup)

Enable Token Ring—Select if the Fiery is connected to a Token Ring network.

Maximum Frame Size—Select the maximum frame size recommended by the network

administrator at your site. If you are uncertain of the setting to use, select the default value (4202).

Transmission Speed—Select Auto Sense if your network environment is mixed, or

select the speed (4 Mbps or 16 Mbps) of the network to which the Fiery is attached.

Enable Source Routing—Select if your network supports source routing.

Request All Routes—This option is active only if you enabled Source Routing. Select

if you want the Request packet to travel to its destination by all routes.

Respond All Routes—This option is available only if the previous option is not

selected. Select if you want the Response packet to return by all routes to the originating computer.

4-11 General Setup options

Protocols

You can change AppleTalk, IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP protocol settings for the Fiery. From remote Setup, you change these settings on the Protocol1 and Protocol2 tabs. Local Setup works in conjunction with the Windows NT 4.0 Network Control Panel. When you click the Modify or Advanced button next to the setting in local Setup, the system opens the Network Control Panel, where you complete the settings.

Unlike remote Setup, local Setup does not provide separate settings to enable a protocol and to conﬁgure it. For example, remote Setup has two settings for AppleTalk: one to enable AppleTalk, and the other to set the AppleTalk zone. In local Setup, there is only the setting for AppleTalk zone. By default, the AppleTalk, IPX/SPX, and TCP/IP protocols are installed and enabled. You can verify a protocol is enabled in the Bindings tab of the Network Control Panel.

4-12 Setting up the Fiery from a Windows Computer

TO CHANGE PROTOCOL SETTINGS IN LOCAL SETUP:

1. Click the Modify or Advanced button next to the setting.

The Windows NT 4.0 Network Control Panel opens.

2. Click the Protocols tab.

3. Select the protocol to modify.

Unless you have installed additional protocols, the choices are AppleTalk, NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport, and TCP/IP.

4. Click Properties, make your selections, and click Apply.

5. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

6. Click OK to close the Network dialog box.

If you have disabled any of the protocols in this procedure, use the Bindings tab of the Windows NT 4.0 Network Control Panel when you are ready to re-enable the protocols.
