xii Before you proceed

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 server 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.

Least control might be appropriate for at a small site where anyone on the local network can control all printing and server 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 perform Setup, you (the system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling (or not enabling) printing connections, HTTP access, and passwords.

Fiery XJ printing connections

The Fiery XJ supports three printing connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and Direct connection. The Hold queue is always available to users on the network. The Print queue and the Direct connection can be enabled, or “published” to users on the network, when you conﬁgure the server setup. These two printing connections give remote users more access to the server, and therefore should not be enabled in environments where stricter control is desired.

xiii Introduction

Hold queue

The Hold queue is the default printing connection. 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 (see the

Operator Guide

or the WebSpooler (see page xv).

Direct connection

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

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stor ed on the Fiery XJ hard disk and do not appear in the Command WorkStation (or WebSpooler) display of current jobs; 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.

)

OTE

The Direct connection must be used to download fonts. If you plan to

download fonts to the Fiery XJ, you must publish the Direct connection.

Print queue

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

OTE

The Print queue must be enabled to use the WebTools.

Fiery WebTools and HTTP access

The Fiery XJ can support Internet or intranet access with the Fiery WebTools. To enable use of the WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:

Enable TCP/IP

• Set

• Set an IP address for the Fiery XJ

Enable HTTP

• Set

• Set Publish Print Queue to Yes

Yes

xiv Before you proceed

Passwords can be set to control access to WebTools features. If you do not speciﬁcally set these passwords, all users have access to all WebTools functions. (See “Passwords” on page xvi.)

The WebTools include Status, WebSpooler, Installer, and WebLink.

Status

Status gives you a quick update of Fiery XJ status by showing the jobs currently spooling, processing, and printing. You can close the active web browser window and leave the Status window open on the desktop to view current Fiery XJ information, which is dynamically updated.

Status is not affected by any password setting. For more information on Status, see the User Guide.

WebSpooler

WebSpooler allows remote users to view, manipulate, reorder, reprint, and delete jobs currently spooling, processing, or printing on the Fiery XJ. It also allows you to view, print, or delete the Job Log.

The WebSpooler interface is similar to the Command WorkStation display; however, some Command WorkStation functions (such as calibration, Thumbnails, and DocBuilder) are not available from the WebSpooler.

WebSpooler access can be controlled by setting a WebSpooler User password in Setup from the Command WorkStation. If you set a password, only users with that password can manipulate jobs from the WebSpooler. A user who does not have the password can still log in to the WebSpooler as a Guest with view-only access. (See “Passwords” on page xvi.) For more information, see the User Guide.

Installer

Installer allows users to download user software and printer ﬁles installers directly fr om the server.

The WebTools Installer is not affected by any password setting. For more information, see Getting Started.

xv Introduction

WebLink

WebLink provides a link to a Fiery WebLink destination. This destination is initially set to www.efi.com/weblink/xerox. From this page, you can link to either the Xerox home page or the Electronics for Imaging home page (www.eﬁ.com).he WebLink destination can be changed. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set. See “Passwords” below.

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.

For more information, see page 2-52.

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—can be set from either the Control Panel or the Command WorkStation

• Operator—can only be set from the Command WorkStation

• WebSpooler User—can only be set from the Command WorkStation

NOTE: By default, no passwords are implemented 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 server from random or accidental changes to Setup.

Administrator password privileges

With an Administrator password, the administrator has unlimited access to server functions, including Setup (from either the Control Panel or the Command WorkStation) and setting the WebLink destination. 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 by choosing which queues are enabled, and by electing to set passwords.

xvi Before you proceed

Operator password privileges

Operator control is the next level of control. It includes control of print jobs that arrive at the server (including the ability to override job settings), and the ability to perform calibration and override calibration settings.

WebSpooler User password privileges

With the WebSpooler User password, remote users can control print jobs via the WebSpooler when they log into the ColorPASS web page. WebSpooler User control is roughly equivalent to operator control from the Command WorkStation in terms of managing print jobs. However, a WebSpooler User cannot perform calibration, access archived jobs, or use the Thumbnail and DocBuilder features of the Command WorkStation.

Guest privileges (No password)

No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from the Command WorkStation or the WebSpooler and view the status of active jobs. A Guest cannot make changes to jobs or to the server’s state (for example, calibration).

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

avoid potential hazards to system operations.

1. (Least control) No designated administrator and no designated operator

All users have equal access to all system functions including Setup, WebLink destination setup, calibration, printing to all three Fiery XJ print connections, and managing all jobs from the Command WorkStation or the WebSpooler.

2. A designated administrator but no designated operator

Only an administrator can perform Setup and set the WebLink destination, but all other system functions are accessible to all users, including calibration, printing to all three Fiery XJ print connections, and managing all jobs from the Command WorkStation or the WebSpooler.

xvii Introduction

3. A designated administrator and a superuser operator

Only an administrator can perform Setup and set the WebLink destination, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from the Command WorkStation, but users can print to all three Fiery XJ print connections, and all users can control jobs from the WebSpooler.

4. A designated administrator, a designated operator, limited WebTool access

Only an administrator can perform Setup and set the WebLink destination, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from the Command WorkStation; users can print to all three Fiery XJ print connections, but a WebSpooler User password is required to control jobs from the WebSpooler.

5. A designated administrator, a designated operator, no WebTool access

Only an administrator can perform Setup, and only an operator or administrator can perform calibration and control jobs from the Command W or kS tation; 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 WebTools.

6. (Strictest control) A designated administrator, a designated operator, no 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 Command W or kS tation; users can print only to the Hold queue; the operator alone controls job ﬂow; no access to WebTools.

1-1 Fiery XJ on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up a Fiery XJ, 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 three network protocols: AppleTalk, the lpd protocol of TCP/IP, and IPX (Novell). These three protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) are supported on the Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same Ethernet 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 on some systems. The Fiery XJ is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add a Fiery XJ to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers, and perhaps one or more printers.

Stages of installation on the network

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

• Physically connecting the Fiery XJ and Command W orkStation to a functioning netw ork

Prepare one network node each for the Fiery XJ and the Command WorkStation— 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 interfaces of the Fiery XJ and the Command WorkStation. See pages 1-9 and 1-14 for details.

• Conﬁguring network servers

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 conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.

• Fiery XJ Setup

1-2 Connecting to the Network

• Client setup

• System administration

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

Install the ﬁles needed for printing and additional user software, and connect the client to the network. These steps are described in Getting Started and Chapter 4 of this manual.

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

1-3 Quick path to installation

Quick path to installation

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and using the Fiery XJ Downloader. 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.

In addition to Ethernet and parallel cabling, described in this chapter, a Token Ring option is available for some Fiery XJ models. See Appendix A for more information.

1-9 Before you begin

Before you begin

The following steps should be completed before you conﬁgure the Fiery XJ and workstations that will print to the Fiery XJ. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.

You need two network nodes, one for the Fiery XJ and one for the Command WorkStation.

TO PREPARE FOR FIERY XJ CONFIGURATION:

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

2. Power down the copier and connect the interface cable from the copier to the Fiery XJ.

While the Fiery XJ is powered down, verify that the SCSI terminator is installed on the SCSI connector on the back of the Fiery XJ.

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

To print a Test Page, press the oval Menu button on the Control Panel to display the Functions menu. (See “F iery XJ Control Panel ” on page 2-3.) Choose Print Pages, and then Test Page.

4. With both the copier and the Fiery XJ switched off, connect the network cable to the Fiery XJ, as described in the next section.

An Ethernet network should already be installed and operational.

5. Turn on the copier and then the Fiery XJ.

6. Prepare network servers to enable networked users to print to the Fiery XJ, and proceed to Setup.

See Chapters 2 and 4 for details.

7. Connect network cable to the Command WorkStation.

The connections are shown on page 1-12. Thinnet cable can be attached to the BNC connector without an external transceiver. (After the initial conﬁguration you can connect cable to the Fiery XJ and the Command WorkStation at the same time.)

1-10 Connecting to the Network

8. Conﬁgure the Command WorkStation connection.

See “Setting up the Command WorkStation” on page 1-14. After the Command WorkStation is connected, you can set up the Fiery XJ using the Command WorkStation interface.

Ethernet cable connection

The Fiery XJ supports the following types of Ethernet cabling:

• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base2)

Uses an external transceiver (media attachment unit, or MAU) to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.

• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base5)

Cable connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), deﬁned as Category 3, 2-pair or 4-pair (10BaseT)

Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Fiery XJ.

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), deﬁned as Category 5, 4-pair (100BaseT)

Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Fiery XJ.

The Ethernet connectors lead to the Ethernet network adapter chip built into the main logic board of the Fiery XJ.

Parallel cable connection

In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the Fiery XJ can accept print jobs from a PC-compatible computer or server 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 is active at the same time as the Ethernet port.

NOTE: The Command WorkStation cannot be connected to the Fiery XJ over the

parallel port.

TO USE PARALLEL CABLE:

1. With the Fiery XJ and a PC-compatible computer or server turned off, attach the Centronics-type parallel cable to the parallel port of the Fiery XJ.

The parallel port is the top connector on the back of the Fiery XJ.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the PC.

3. Turn on the computer and the Fiery XJ.

4. Proceed to Setup.

To print to the parallel port, you will need to set up the parallel port connection. See “Parallel P ort S etup options ” on page 2-20. For information on setting up printing, see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the User Guide.

NOTE: If your system requires both a parallel and an AUI (Ethernet) connection,

connect the parallel cable before connecting the transceiver and the Ethernet cable.

1-14 Connecting to the Network

Setting up the Command WorkStation

The Command WorkStation for the Fiery XJ allows you to control print jobs and print PostScript ﬁles at the Command WorkStation. In addition, the Command WorkStation provides a graphical interface that allows you to track jobs, change their priority, optimize hard disk space, keep queues current, maintain logs of user activity, and print non-network jobs.

Printing to the Fiery XJ

You can send jobs to the Fiery XJ from the Command WorkS tation as you would from any remote workstation. To print from applications, install the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver for Windows 95 and the printer description ﬁle (PPD) for the Fiery XJ (as described in Getting Started). To download ﬁles, open the Utilities shortcuts slider at the Command WorkStation and click the Downloader icon.

For information on printing or downloading ﬁles, see the User Guide.

Setting up IPX/SPX communication

The Command WorkStation is set up to communicate with the IPX/SPX networking protocol by default. Make sure that all settings are correct, as described in Getting Started.

Setting up TCP/IP communication

If you prefer, you can set up the Command WorkStation to communicate over TCP/ IP, instead of IPX/SPX. This requires deleting all existing Command WorkStation ﬁles and reinstalling the Command WorkStation software from the User Software CD, selecting TCP/IP as the desired protocol.

TO SET UP THE COMMAND WORKSTATION WITH TCP/IP:

1. Install TCP/IP communication software as described in your Windows 95 documentation.

2. In the Network Control Panel, select TCP/IP communication.

3. On your hard disk drive, ﬁnd the directory named CSTATION (the directory containing the cstation.exe ﬁle) and delete it.

Setting up the Fiery XJ Downloader

The ﬁrst time you start the Fiery XJ Downloader from the Command WorkStation or from any workstation, you must conﬁgure the Chooser list. For instructions, see Getting Started.

Attaching external SCSI devices

The Command WorkStation can be thought of as an independent computer. The Command WorkStation has a dedicated monitor, keyboard, mouse, and ﬂoppy disk drive. In addition, the SCSI port on the back of the Command WorkStation allows you to connect external SCSI devices for downloading ﬁles and fonts.

When the external drive is installed, you can use the Fiery XJ Downloader to download fonts and ﬁles from it.

NOTE: To download fonts, the Direct connection must be enabled.

Supported drives

The Command WorkStation supports the following media:

• Command WorkStation internal hard disk (c:)

An IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drive used to store the Command WorkStation operating software, MS-DOS, and the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system used by the Command WorkStation.

2-1 About Fiery XJ Setup

Chapter 2: Setting up the Fiery XJ

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.

NOTE: Before you can set up the Fiery XJ, you must decide what levels of access you

will implement for your site. (See page xiii.)

About Fiery XJ Setup

Setup is required the first time the Fiery XJ is powered 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 on the Control Panel

In initial Setup, the server, network, and printer have to be set up, in that order, on the Control Panel. Default settings are adequate for getting the Fiery XJ to reach Idle, but not for full functionality. Also, during initial Setuzp you conﬁgure a network connection between the Fiery XJ and the Command WorkStation. After you become more familiar with your options you can reset them according to your network and user environment.

Making changes to Setup

After initial Setup, you can change the Setup either on the Control P anel (page 2-2), or on the Command WorkS tation (page 2-30). The options are almost identical in both cases. You may ﬁnd it easier to make changes in Setup from the Command WorkStation; setup options are grouped in a series of dialog boxes.

Network server setup requirements

On IPX networks and on some TCP/IP 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 1-4 through 1-8 give chapter references for network server setup.

You need a live network connection so the Fiery XJ can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

2-2 Running Setup on the Control Panel

Whenever the conﬁguration of servers, printers, 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 or group.

Running Setup on the Control Panel

Setup, performed on the Control Panel right after powering on the Fiery XJ, conﬁgures it to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs.

There are four groups of Setup options:

Use this group of options: To specify:

Server Setup System options Network Setup All the active network systems that will transmit print

jobs to the Fiery XJ

Printer Setup The way print jobs and queues are managed on the

Setup

When you choose Server Setup, the options appear in sequence, as described below. Default values, where applicable, are shown in square brackets.

Server Name Fiery XJ

Use this option to give the F iery XJ a name (up to 10 characters long). This is the name that will appear in the Chooser on an AppleTalk network. This is also the server name that you will enter when conﬁguring the server for the Chooser list from the Command WorkStation or from the Fiery XJ Downloader with the IPX/SPX protocol.

If you have multiple color servers and give them the same name, a unique number is appended to the name that appears in the Chooser. Although this routes jobs corr ectly, it may be inconvenient for users and is not a recommended practice.

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

2-9 Server Setup options

When Print Start Page is set to Yes, the Fiery XJ must be connected to a copier before it can reach the Idle status screen.

Use Character Set Macintosh/DOS/Windows [Macintosh]

Use this option to specify whether the Control Panel 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, ü, or æ).

For mixed-platform networks, choose the predominant client type, or whichever option gives better overall representation of the special characters you use.

Parallel Port Disabled/Enabled [Disabled]

Select Enabled if you are planning to print from a computer connected to the parallel port on the Fiery XJ. Select Disabled if you plan to use only a network connection.

Enable Printed Queue Yes/No [Yes]

Select Yes if you want to enable the Printed queue, which creates a storage location on the Fiery XJ disk for recent jobs printed from the Print queue. Users who have access to the Command WorkStation (with Operator or Administrator privileges), or to the WebSpooler (with User privileges), can reprint jobs from the Printed queue without sending them to the Fiery XJ again.

Network Setup

TO ACCESS NETWORK SETUP OPTIONS:

In the Setup menu, you choose Network Setup. The Network Setup menu lets you choose the communication types: Ethernet,

Token Ring, and Parallel Port. Each type has its own Setup, and in the case of Ethernet, its own menu with three protocols that can be used with Ethernet cabling.

For each enabled protocol, you are prompted to enter settings pertaining to that protocol. This is the place to specify network addresses and names to be used by workstations, servers, and the Fiery XJ when they communicate with each other.

You need display and select options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If your network requirements change, you can change the Network Setup at any time.

Parallel port Setup is included under Network Setup. If you plan to print to the Fiery XJ parallel port, you must ﬁrst enable the parallel port in Server Setup.

If the Fiery XJ 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 of those ports at the same time. Default values, where applicable, are shown in square brackets.

1. Conﬁrm that the network cable is connected to the Fiery XJ.

During Network Setup , the Fiery XJ queries the network for zones, servers, and serverbased queues. If you perform Network Setup without a connected and functioning network, default settings are used that may not fulﬁll your needs.

2. Choose Network Setup from the main Setup menu.

3. To use Ethernet, choose Ethernet Setup, choose the pr otocol, and enter the appropriate settings.

NOTE: If you are using TCP/IP for printing from Windows NT workstations,

enabling TCP/IP here also enables you to use the Fiery XJ Downloader from Windows NT workstations using TCP/IP protocols. At the same time, enabling TCP/IP lets you use the Fiery XJ Downloader from Windows 95 computers using IPX/SPX protocols.

IP Address [127.0.0.1]

Enter the Fiery XJ IP address for printing with TCP/IP or accessing the Fiery XJ with the Fiery WebTools. The Fiery XJ is shipped with an invalid IP address. If you plan to print with TCP/IP, you must ﬁrst assign the Fiery XJ a unique, valid IP address. This IP address is all that is required to identify the Fiery XJ on your network; you do not need to give the Fiery XJ a host name. For information about setting up printing with TCP/IP, see Chapter 4.

Subnet Mask [255.255.255.0]

This option lets you modify the subnet mask for printing with TCP/IP. If you notice that some, but not all, users can print to the Fiery XJ using TCP/IP, you may need to set the subnet mask. If you did not set the IP address for the Fiery XJ, the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0 by default. If you set the IP address and 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 between 128 and 191

The NetWare server must be running. You need a login name, and if access to the ﬁle server or print server is restricted, you need a login password.

NOTE: The terms NetWare server, Novell server, and IPX ﬁle server are used here

interchangeably to mean the server on an IPX network running Novell NetWare networking software.

Enable IPX (Novell) No/Yes [No]

Select Yes if you have an IPX (Novell) network connected to the Fiery XJ over Ethernet.

You may select Yes if you are using an IPX/SPX network between one or more Windows 95 workstations and the Fiery XJ to run the Fiery XJ Downloader. If you don ’t have a Novell server, you can still use the Fiery XJ Downloader by enabling TCP/IP. Note that additional conﬁguration is needed after you have enabled network communication here (see page 4-14).

NOTE: If your IPX network uses Token Ring to communicate with the Fiery XJ, use the

separate Token Ring Setup from the Network Setup menu (see page 2-19).

2-35 Running Setup from the Command WorkStation

For more information on the various passwor ds and the access privileges they allow, see page xvi of the Introduction.

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

passwords, all users will have 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 server from accidental or incorrect changes to Setup.

If you forget the Administrator password, contact your authorized service representative to reinstall Fiery XJ system software. This will clear the Administrator password and allow you to set a new one.

TO ENTER OR CHANGE A PASSWORD:

• Enter the new password in both ﬁelds of the Password setup.

If there is no current password, you create one. If there is a password, you change it to a new password; you need to ﬁrst select (and delete) the asterisks (*) in both ﬁelds.

Passwords are case-sensitive and can be any combination of letters and numbers up to nineteen characters. You must enter the password exactly the same way both times. If you make a mistake, you are prompted to enter the password again either when you dismiss the Password dialog box or click OK to apply Setup changes. The new password remains in effect until you change it again.

The Command WorkStation application starts automatically once Window 95 has started.

3-3 Connecting to the server

Connecting to the server

The ﬁrst time you start up the Command WorkStation after initial Setup, or after you change the server name or IP address, you must conﬁgure the Chooser list to connect to the server. Once you have conﬁgured the Chooser list, you connect to the server automatically whenever you launch the Command WorkStation.

Conﬁguring the Chooser list

The Chooser list is created by a ﬁle named NET_WSCK.INI which resides in the Windows directory on the Command WorkStation. The NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle tells the Command WorkStation how to connect to the Fiery XJ. The procedure described below is simply an automated way of editing the NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle. If you prefer, you can edit the NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle directly with WordPad or any other text editor. For instructions on how to manually edit the NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle, see page 3-6.

NOTE: A NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle is also used by the Fiery XJ Downloader on remote

workstations to connect to the server over IPX/SPX or TCP/IP networks. The procedure described below is identical to that described in Getting Started for conﬁguring the Chooser list for the Fiery XJ Downloader.

TO CONFIGURE THE CHOOSER LIST:

1. Print the Conﬁguration page from the Control Panel and note the IPX address or IP address of the Fiery XJ in the Network Setup section.

If you like, you can set up a Domain Name Server (DNS) for the IP address of the Fiery XJ in the printcap ﬁle. The Chooser list can support either an IP address or a DNS name.

2. Start the Command WorkStation application.

If the server has not been connected before (i.e., you are using the default NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle), the following message is displayed.

[ConfigServers] Server1=ServerName (DNS name or IP address)

[ServerName] DEFAULT_QUEUE=PRINT Device1=DocuColor

[ChosenServer1] ChosenServer=ServerName ChosenDevice=DocuColor ChosenQueue=ActiveQueue

where ServerName is the DNS name or IP address

3-7 Rebooting the server from the Command WorkStation

If you are having trouble connecting to the Fiery XJ, delete the NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle from the \WINDOWS directory and start over with the process of conﬁguring the Chooser list as described on page 3-3.

Rebooting the server from the Command WorkStation

When you reboot the Fiery XJ from the Command WorkStation, all current job data on the server is maintained except the data stored in RAM. The only job data stor ed in RAM is the raster data of jobs that have been printed; these appear in the Printed area of the Command WorkStation display.

TO REBOOT THE FIERY XJ FROM THE COMMAND WORKSTATION:

1. Make sure that the Fiery XJ is not receiving, processing, or printing a document.

In the Command WorkStation display, the Spool, RIP and Print Status bars should all show no activity.

2. From the Command WorkStation’s Administrator menu, select Reboot Server.

3. Click OK in the dialog box that appears.

4-1 The Fiery XJ on an IPX network

Chapter 4: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare and Windows NT servers—that will share printing to the Fiery XJ. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery XJ. In addition, it includes some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional.

It also outlines the requirements for network clients to print to the servers and run the Fiery XJ Downloader. Where appropriate, you are referred to other manuals for details.

If your network is based on Windows NT, go to page 4-15. If your network includes UNIX workstations, go to page 4-24.

The Fiery XJ on an IPX network

Novell NetWare, the IPX networking operating system, includes NetWare’s Queue Management Services, which handle printing. The F iery XJ supports NetW ar e versions

3.11 and 3.12 directly; and it supports version 4.x in bindery emulation mode (see “Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context” on page 4-6).

IPX/SPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange) is one of the protocols the Fiery XJ supports directly; and it is provided with Windows 95.

NetWare clients print to the Fiery XJ through the network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in Getting Started, and printing is described in the User Guide.

The Fiery XJ can accept IPX print jobs concurrently with jobs sent through AppleTalk and T CP/IP protocols. M acintosh computers on the same network as a NetWare server can use AppleTalk to communicate with the NetWare server if NetW are for Macintosh is installed, or they can print directly to the color server.

4-2 Tips for experts—IPX networks

In addition to printing, the Fiery XJ Downloader is available to Windows 95 users with IPX/SPX protocols loaded. The Fiery XJ Downloader can be loaded and conﬁgured on each workstation that uses it, as described in Getting S tarted. In this case, Windows 95 workstations are communicating with the Fiery XJ directly, not through the NetWare server.

The Fiery XJ can receive print jobs from N etWare servers over Ethernet or Token Ring network architecture and cabling. Appendix A describes the Token Ring option. When Ethernet is used, you select a single frame type to use between the NetWare server and the Fiery XJ. Frame type describes the format of a communications packet; it is speciﬁed in a startup ﬁle when the NetWare server (or any other workstation using Ethernet) loads its network drivers.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the Fiery XJ is similar to setting up another PostScript printer on the network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators need.

A Fiery XJ+ 525 with IPX connections has these characteristics:

• The Fiery XJ supports NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode.

• A basic connection to the Fiery XJ consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.

After conﬁguring these items for printing to the Fiery XJ, you enter IPX (Novell) Setup on the Fiery XJ and enter the name of the NetWare ﬁle server and print server. In Printer Setup you select the NetWare ﬁle server and attach it to one of the Fiery XJ connections (Direct, Print queue, or Hold queue).

• One Fiery XJ connection is available for each NetWare ﬁle server, and one NetWare print server is serviced per ﬁle server.

All NetWare print queues on that print server are polled for print jobs. Up to eight IPX connections (that is, eight ﬁle servers) can be conﬁgured over Ethernet, and eight over Token Ring.
