Network administration features

Fiery XJ software has several important features that affect you as a network or printer administrator:

• Direct (native) support of NDS (Novell Directory Services) with NetWare 4.x

NetWare 4.x can also be supported in bindery emulation.

• Simultaneous NetWare 4.x and NetWare 3.x connections

One NetWare 4.x NDS tree and up to eight NetWare 3.x bindery servers (or NetWare 4.x servers in bindery emulation mode) can be connected to the Fiery XJ.

• Support for Windows (SMB) printing

Windows printing, also known as SMB (Server Message B lock) printing, allows you to print on TCP/IP networks using SMB, which is built-in Microsoft networking support, and without additional network software. Printing by this method allows you to print from your computer to a particular print connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the Fiery XJ.

• Software for the Command WorkStation on Windows 95 computers

With the Command WorkStation, you can monitor and manage Fiery XJ functions from any Windows 95 computer on the network. You can also modify Fiery XJ Setup more conveniently than from the Control Panel.

• Fiery utilities (Fiery Downloader™ and Fiery Print Calibrator™)

The Fiery Downloader can be run from Windows 95, Windows NT, and Mac OS computers. Fiery Print Calibrator can be run from the Command WorkStation.

xiv Introduction

• Fiery WebTools™ (Status, WebSpooler, WebLink, Installer, and WebSetup)

Fiery WebTools allow you to manage the Fiery XJ from the Internet or from your company’s intranet. To use the Fiery WebTools, you need to set certain options in Setup from the Control Panel.

• Job tracking

Job Logs can include two user-entered Notes fields.

• Color calibration options

Calibration is available remotely from the Command WorkStation with Fiery Print Calibrator. With Fiery Print Calibrator, you can customize calibration targets to suit your printing needs. For information about calibration with a densitometer, see the

Job Management Guide.

• CMYK simulation options

Users can use CMYK simulation to adjust Fiery XJ color output to DIC, Euroscale, or SWOP targets. With Fiery Print Calibrator, you can create custom simulations to suit your printing needs. Users can also select a simulation on a job-by-job basis.

For more information on CMYK simulation, see the

Job Management Guide.

Printing Guide

and the

Before you proceed

No two Fiery XJ sites are identical, and the Fiery XJ system can be conﬁgured to suit your site’s particular requirements for ﬂexibility or control. As the system administrator, you decide the level of network and software access that will be accessible to users.

Before you proceed with installation and setup, make sure you understand the spectrum of access and control possible with the Fiery XJ. Then decide what level is most appropriate for your site.

Levels of access and control

The level of control you implement can range from strict to moderate to minimal, or none. 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 XJ disk until the operator decides it is time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and/or operator have access to certain software tools.

xv Before you proceed

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

When you conﬁgure the Fiery XJ by performing Setup, you (the system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling (or not enabling) print connections, passwords, and access to Fiery WebTools.

Fiery XJ print connections

The Fiery XJ 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 Fiery XJ Setup. The Print queue and the Direct connection give remote users more direct access to the Fiery XJ than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Dir ect connection in envir onments where stricter control is desired.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the server’s hard disk. These jobs cannot proceed through the printing process without intervention via the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler (see the

OTE

The Hold queue is always published and cannot be disabled.

Job Management Guide

Print queue

If you publish the Print queue, jobs sent to it are processed and printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler, and jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue.

Direct connection

The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery XJ, but only when the Fiery XJ is idle. If the Fiery XJ is busy, the job r emains at the user workstation until the Fiery XJ is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the prior job is ﬁnished and before the next queued job is processed.

xvi Introduction

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stor ed on the Fiery XJ hard disk and do not appear in the display of current jobs seen from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler; 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 XJ, you must publish the Direct connection.

Passwords

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

• Administrator—from the Control Panel, Fiery WebSetup, or the Command W or kS tation

• Operator—from Fiery WebSetup or the Command WorkStation only

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery XJ. 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), calibration, and job control. It is strongly recommended that you set at least an Administrator password to protect the Fiery XJ from random or accidental changes to Setup.

Administrator password 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, and clearing the Fiery XJ of all job data.

Operator password privileges

Operator control includes control of print jobs from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler (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 Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSpooler. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the Fiery XJ state (for example, calibration).

xvii Before you proceed

Fiery WebTools

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

• Set Enable TCP/IP to Yes.

• Set an IP address for the Fiery XJ.

• Set a subnet mask.

• Enter a TCP/IP gateway address.

• Set Enable Web Services to Yes.

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 xvi).

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

Status

The Status WebT ool pro vides you with current information on the jobs pr ocessing and printing on the Fiery XJ. 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 XJ. It also allows the administrator to use the DocBuilder tool (Thumbnails A and B) and to view, print, or delete the Job Log.

WebSpooler access can be controlled by setting an Operator password in Setup from the Command WorkStation or from Fiery W ebS etup. If y ou set a passwor d, 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 xvi). For more information, see the Job Management Guide.

xviii Introduction

WebLink

WebLink provides a link to a pre-set Fiery WebLink destination. The WebLink destination can be changed (see 2-45). This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set. See “Passwords” on page xvi.

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

destination. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that y ou set an Administrator password.

Installer

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

WebSetup

W ebSetup allows y ou to view and modify Fiery XJ Setup option settings from a remote workstation. For more information, see Chapter 3.

Control level scenarios

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

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

prevent unauthorized changes to system settings.

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

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

2. A designated administrator but no designated operator

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 XJ print connections, and managing all jobs from remote workstations.

xix Before you proceed

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 a remote workstation. Users can print to all Fiery XJ print connections.

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

Only an administrator can perform Setup, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from a remote workstation; 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.

5. (Strictest control) A designated administrator and a designated operator, 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 a remote workstation; users can print only to the Hold queue; the administrator and the operator have complete control of job ﬂow; no access to Fiery WebTools.

1-1 Fiery XJ on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery XJ+ 525 Color Server, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. If you check those references, you should be able to ﬁnd the information you need quickly.

Fiery XJ on the network

When the Fiery XJ is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery XJ 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, or they can print to the Fiery XJ parallel port. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery XJ is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add the Fiery XJ 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 XJ 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 XJ—obtain cable and route it to the location where the Fiery XJ will be installed (near the copier) and attach the cable to the network interface of the Fiery XJ. See page 1-11 for details.

NOTE: If you plan to run the Command WorkStation software, you will need to install

the software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along with the Fiery XJ. See Getting Started for details.

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the Fiery XJ as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 4 for information on conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.

• Setting up the Fiery XJ

Conﬁgure the Fiery XJ for your particular printing and network environment. First read “Before you proceed” in the Introduction, and then see Chapter 2 for details.

• Preparing client workstations for printing

Install the ﬁles needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the Fiery XJ over the network. These steps are described in Getting Started, and some information is provided in Chapter 4 of this manual.

• Administering the Fiery XJ

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See Chapter 5 and the Job Management Guide for details.

Prepare a network node. Connect the Fiery XJ to the printer and to the network.

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

Install Fiery XJ utilities on the server. No special conﬁguration of AppleShare

servers is required.

From the Fiery XJ Control Panel, perform Server Setup, Network Setup, Printer Setup and Job Log Setup. Set up the Fiery XJ for all active protocols.

At each workstation that will print to the Fiery XJ:

• Install the PostScript printer driver and the Fiery XJ PostScript printer description ﬁle (PPD), and connect to one or more queues.

• For computers that will use them, install Fiery XJ remote utilities and optional user software.

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

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.

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. Note that multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the Fiery XJ 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. See Appendix A for information.

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.
