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
N
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.

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.

•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.

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.

Ethernet cable connection
The Fiery XJ supports Ethernet cabling of three types:
• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base2)
Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (Attachment Unit Interface)
connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.
• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base5)
Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) defined as Category 3 or Category 5 for use with
10BaseT.
Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into an RJ-45 socket on the Fiery XJ. Use
this connector for 10BaseT only.
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT.
If the 100BaseT option is installed, the Fiery XJ has an additional RJ-45 connector
(see illustration on page 1-13). Use this additional connector for either 10BaseT or
100BaseT.
NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the F iery XJ 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.

Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the Fiery XJ can
accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This
connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations on dedicated
networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.
The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.
NOTE: The parallel port cannot be used to connect the Fiery XJ with the
Command WorkStation or other Fiery utilities.
TOUSEPARALLELCABLE:
1. With the Fiery XJ and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to
the parallel port of the Fiery XJ.

Chapter 2:
Performing
Setup from the
Control Panel
The Fiery XJ+ 525 Color Server fits into a variety of work environments. To prepare
for printing at your site, you need to do some initial configuration to specify the
network environment and the kind of printing you will do.
About Fiery XJ Setup
Setup is required the first time the Fiery XJ 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 Control Panel screens.
Initial Setup from the Control Panel
In initial Setup, you must configure at least Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer
Setup, in that order, from the Control Panel. Also during initial Setup, you specify
settings needed for the network connection between the Fiery XJ and the Command
WorkStation.
If you don’t configure the remaining Setups, the Fiery XJ uses default settings. These
defaults allow the Fiery XJ to reach the Idle state, but might not allow users to print to
the Fiery XJ. 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 2-2) or
from Fiery WebSetup or the Command WorkStation (page 3-1). The Operator
password can be set and changed from Fiery WebSetup or the Command Wor kS tation
only. Most other Setup options can be set from all three interfaces.
Network server setup requirements
On NetWare or Windows NT 4.0 networks, the network servers must be configured
for printing to the Fiery XJ before you enter network settings on the Fiery XJ. The
diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-10 give chapter references for network server setup.
You need a live network connection so that the Fiery XJ can query the network for
zones, servers, and server-based queues.
2-2 Performing Setup from the Control Panel
2
Whenever the configuration of the Fiery XJ, a 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.
NOTE: Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes in more
than one Setup menu.
Fiery XJ Setup from the Control Panel
Setup, performed from the Control Panel right after powering on or rebooting the
Fiery XJ, configures the Fiery XJ to communicate with other devices and manage print
jobs sent to it.
There are six groups of Setup options:
• Server Setup to specify system options
• Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that will transmit print jobs
to the Fiery XJ
• Printer Setup to specify the way print jobs and queues are managed
• PS Setup to specify PostScript settings
• Color Setup to specify color settings
• Job Log Setup to specify how the Fiery XJ handles its log of printed jobs
Other Setup options allow you to create and change an administrator password, and to
clear the jobs queued on the Fiery XJ.
2-3 Fiery XJ Setup from the Control Panel

connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the Fiery XJ without any other networking
software. For information on how to set up a Windows computer for Windows
printing, see Getting Started. Windows printing runs via TCP/IP,
so TCP/IP must be configured on the Fiery XJ and on all workstations that use
Windows printing.

Fiery XJ print connections
In Fiery XJ Printer Setup you decide how the Fiery XJ manages print jobs by deciding
which print connections should be “published” to users over the network. All
published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. If you don’t
want users to print to a connection, don’t publish it.
You can publish two types of connections on the Fiery XJ: the Direct connection and
queues (Print queue and Hold queue). The Hold queue is published by default and is
always available.
Direct connection
Jobs are transmitted to the F iery XJ Direct connection only when the Fiery XJ is ready
to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the Fiery XJ is ready, and are
processed as soon as a prior job is finished, before the next queued job is processed.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery XJ hard disk. The jobs
appear in display of current jobs in the Command WorkStation and
Fiery WebSpooler, but they cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion.
Therefore the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. If
you plan to download fonts to the Fiery XJ via the network, you must publish the
Direct connection.
NOTE: You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP. You can,
however, use the Direct connection for downloading fonts.
Queues
A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many
print jobs are being sent to the Fiery XJ. When a job is printed to a queue on the
Fiery XJ, it is stored on the Fiery XJ hard disk rather than the user’s hard disk, quickly
freeing up the user’s workstation.
Remote users can print only to published connections. However, job storage areas for
all queues exist on the server, so that administrators or other users of the Command
WorkStation and Fiery WebSpooler can move or copy jobs to the Print or Hold
queue, whether or not these queues are published.
2-35 Printer Setup options
2
The Fiery XJ hard disk supports up to three queues (Print, Hold, and Printed). Users
may print to two of them (Print and Hold).
• Print queue—This is the standard Fiery XJ queue. The F iery XJ prints jobs from the
Print queue in the order in which they were received.
• Hold queue—The Hold queue can be used for storing jobs that will be printed at a
later time, and jobs that will be printed repeatedly.
In order to print a job that was sent to the Hold queue, the Command WorkStation
or Fiery WebSpooler must be used to move or copy the job from the Spool area to
the Print area.
• Printed queue—The Printed queue is a job storage area on the Fiery XJ disk; it con-
tains the most recent jobs printed from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it
convenient to reprint those jobs. A Server Setup option enables this queue and governs the maximum number of jobs retained in it at any given time (see page 2-9).
Reprinting jobs in this queue requires the Command WorkStation or
Fiery WebSpooler.

Color Setup options
Color Setup allows you to set the parameters the Fiery XJ uses to control color output.
Most of these parameters can be overridden on a job-by-job basis. See the Printing Guide and the Color Guide for more information.
TOACCESS COLOR SETUPOPTIONS:
1. In the main Setup menu, choose Color Setup.
2. Enter the options appropriate to the printing requirements at the site.
3. When you have finished, save changes.
In the list of options that follows, default values, where applicable, appear in square
brackets.
The RGB source is the color space used to control color for conversion from screen to
printed output. EFIRGB is based on the reference points used in the creation of the
Fiery XJ software. sRGB is based on an average of a large number of PC monitors.
Apple Standard is the standard reference point for Apple’s ColorSync software.
The CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary) used defines how color will be converted
from RGB data to printed output. Photographic, designed for images, retains the
relative balance between colors to maintain the overall appearance of the image.
Presentation, designed for bright colors, produces the saturated prints needed for most
business presentations, but handles photographic images the same way as the
Photographic CRD. Solid, designed for spot colors, retains the absolute value of each
color. This is particularly useful for images such as corporate logos.
CMYK simulation allows color correction to simulate printed output on a commercial
press, so that the Fiery XJ output can be used for proofing. The SWOP-Coated
standard is used in the United S tates, DIC in Japan, and Euroscale in Europe. Custom
simulations are user defined and named.
NOTE: This option cannot be set from the Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup.
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.
If any custom simulations have been created and loaded on the Fiery XJ with Fiery
Print Calibrator , they also appear in the list of simulations. A custom simulation can be
selected as the default simulation. See the Job Management G uide for more information
about custom simulations.
Spot Color Matching
On/Off [On]
With this option set to On, the Fiery XJ uses an internal lookup table to print the best
equivalents of PANTONE colors. With this option set to Off, PANTONE colors are

•In Job Log Setup you specify whether you want the Fiery XJ to print and clear its log
of printed jobs automatically. See the next section for details.
• Change Password enables you to create or change an Administrator password on the
Fiery XJ so that casual users cannot enter the Setup menus and change Fiery XJ
settings without permission. The Administrator password also controls many
functions available from Fiery WebSetup. See the Job Management Guide for details.
• Clear Server clears all queued print jobs from the server—jobs in the Fiery XJ Print,
Hold, and Printed queues. Clear Server also clears the Job Log. If an Administrator
password has been set, unauthorized users will not see this command (or any of the
administrative or Setup options).
NOTE: If you keep Job Logs, be sure to print or export the Job Log before you choose
Clear Server.
Job Log Setup
The Job Log is a record of all jobs processed or printed on the Fiery XJ, whether they
originate from a user workstation, a networked server, the Fiery XJ, or a computer
attached to the parallel port. The Job Log can be printed at any time from the Control
Panel, Fiery WebSpooler, or the Command WorkStation.
The printed Job Log lists accounting information about each job including user name,
document name, time and date printed, and number of pages. If you print with the
Adobe printer drivers provided for Windows 95, Windows 3.1x, and Mac OS
computers, you can also enter job-specific notes that appear in the Job Log. See the
Printing Guide for details.
By default, the Job Log is not printed or cleared automatically. You can change these
defaults in Job Log Setup. You can also clear the Job Log from the Command

You must enable TCP/IP for Ethernet to use the F iery WebTools over Ethernet. If you
are using TCP/IP for printing from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, enabling TCP/IP
here also enables you to use Fiery utilities from Windows NT 4.0 workstations using
TCP/IP protocols.
IP Address (Ethernet)—Enter the Fiery XJ IP address for Ethernet. You must change
the default 127.0.0.1 to a valid address for your network. For information about
setting up printing with TCP/IP, see Chapter 4.
Subnet Mask (Ethernet)—If you need to set the subnet mask, enter one of the
following values:
• 255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128
• 255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191
• 255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191
NOTE: Be sure to confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator
before proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those
listed.
Protocol Setup (Token Ring)
Enable on Token Ring —Select if you have a TCP/IP network connected to the
Fiery XJ over Token Ring. If you use Token Ring, enabling TCP/IP for Token Ring is
required for enabling the Fiery WebTools.
If you are using TCP/IP for printing from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, enabling
TCP/IP here also enables you to use Fiery utilities from Windows NT 4.0
workstations using TCP/IP protocols.
IP Address (Token Ring)—Enter the Fiery XJ IP address for Token Ring. You must
change the default 127.0.0.1 to a valid address for your network. For information
about setting up printing with TCP/IP, see Chapter 4.

Subnet Mask (Token Ring)—If you need to set the subnet mask, enter one of the
following values:
• 255.0.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number less than 128
• 255.255.0.0 if the IP address starts with a number from 128 through 191
• 255.255.255.0 if the IP address starts with a number greater than 191
NOTE: Be sure to confirm the subnet mask setting with your network administrator
before proceeding. In some cases the required setting may be different from those
listed.
Gateway—If your TCP/IP network has a gateway, and users outside the gateway print
to the Fiery XJ using TCP/IP, enter the gateway address here. Obtain the correct
gateway address from your network administrator.
The gateway address applies to either a Token Ring or an Ethernet network. If TCP/IP
is running on both an Ethernet and a Token Ring network, the gateway address you
enter must be in the same subnet as either the Ethernet or the Token Ring address.
Protocol Setup (AppleTalk)
Enable AppleTalk—Select to enable Apple Talk if you have an AppleTalk network
connected to the Fiery XJ. This setting enables the Fiery XJ to communicate over
AppleTalk networks.
Select Zone—The Fiery XJ searches the network for AppleTalk zones in your network
segment. Scroll through the list to select the AppleTalk zone in which you want the
Fiery XJ to appear. If your segment has only one zone, the Fiery XJ is assigned to that
zone automatically.
If no AppleTalk zone can be found, your network may have no defined zones, or else
the network cable has not been connected (see page 5-4). Choose OK.
Protocol Setup (IPX Frames)
Select Frames—Click the Select Frames button to specify IPX frames used with
NetWare. See your network administrator to verify which frame type to choose.

You can modify both NetWare 3.x (Bindery) and NetWare 4.x (NDS) configurations
from Fiery WebSetup. Turn on the Enable NDS option if your network uses
NetWare 4.x in native mode. Click Bindery Setup if your network uses NetW are 3.x or
uses NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode.
NOTE: If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, set up NDS first. Setting up NDS
after Bindery will overwrite Bindery Setup. If your network uses both NDS and
Bindery, including using NetWare 4.x servers in bindery emulation, the Fiery XJ
cannot service NDS and bindery emulation servers on the same NDS tree.
PServer Setup (NetWare Services)
The Enable PServer option must be turned on if you have a Novell server connected.
You can, however, change the PServer polling interval and then modify either Bindery
Setup or NDS Configuration.
NOTE: The terms NetW are server , N o vell server , and IPX server are in common use and
are used here interchangeably to mean the server on an IPX network running Novell
NetWare networking software.

PServer Setup (NDS Configuration)
In initial setup, the Fiery XJ was connected to the network and an NDS directory tree,
with a Printer, a Print Server, and one or more Print Queue objects for Fiery XJ jobs
(see page 4-3), was configured. You can make any changes to that setup through
Fiery WebSetup. To modify NDS Setup you may need permission to browse the NDS
tree. If access to the Print Server is restricted, you’ll need a login password.
Check this box if NDS has already been enabled on the network.
Click to open the Add NDS Tree window. This option is available only when
Enable NDS is selected.

NOTE: Lowercase letters are not allowed, except in the Comment field.
Enable Windows Printing Service—Select to enable SMB (Server Message Block), the
file and printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the
Fiery XJ to be listed on the network so that Windows clients can print to a particular
print connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the Fiery XJ without any other
networking software. For information on how to set up a Windows client for
Windows printing, see Getting Started.
NOTE: Windows (SMB) printing runs over TCP/IP, so TCP/IP must be configured on
all the Fiery XJ and on workstations that use Windows printing.
Server Name—The server name is the name that will appear on the network. It can,
but does not have to, be the same name as the server name assigned in Server Setup
(see page 2-8 and page 3-3).
Comment—Server comments (optional) can contain information about the printer.
These comments are listed in the Properties of the Fiery XJ in Network
Neighborhood. Comments can be up to 15 characters long. Lowercase letters are
allowed in this field.
Domain or Workgroup—Enter the workgroup or domain you want the Fiery XJ to
appear in.
Use WINS Server—Select to use a WINS name server. Broadcasts from SMB devices
cannot be routed beyond their original network segment without a WINS name
server. Setting up the WINS name server is outside the scope of this manual. To find
