Turn off the EX7750 before connecting it to any network device. If the EX7750 has just ﬁnished processing, wait ﬁve seconds after the system reaches the Idle state before using the power button on the front of the EX7750 to turn it off.
Page 26: Ethernet Connection
1-12 Connecting to the Network Ethernet connection For Ethernet connections, the EX7750 supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP, 4 pairs) cabling, deﬁned as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT and 1000BaseT; 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 EX7750.

It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for Network Servers communicating with the EX7750.
Page 28: Tips For Experts-Windows With Tcp/Ip
2-2 Setting up Network Servers A typical system combination is: • Print server running Windows 2000; clients running Windows 2000/XP. With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and WebTools from a Windows computer. Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP Setting up printing from Windows using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP.

2-3 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP Conﬁguring a Windows 2000 server to communicate with the EX7750 To conﬁgure a Windows 2000 server to communicate with the EX7750, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections in this chapter and in your Microsoft documentation.
Page 30 2-4 Setting up Network Servers EX7750 TCP/IP 2000 O ADD THE TO A NETWORK WITH A INDOWS SERVER 1. Register the IP address of the EX7750 in the host name database used by your system. For installations that do not have a network administrator or central host name database, add the EX7750 to the ﬁle on the Windows 2000 server.
Page 31 2-5 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP Installing the EX7750 as a shared printer The ﬁrst step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver ﬁles, which give your applications access to printer features. You can use the installation instructions in the User Software Installation Guide for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the EX7750.
Page 32 2-6 Setting up Network Servers Conﬁguring clients of a Windows 2000 server Each client of a Windows 2000 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the EX7750 if it has been shared by a Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000/XP clients.
Page 33 2-7 EX7750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows 2000/XP Conﬁguring Windows computers without a Windows 2000 server If your network does not have a Windows 2000 server, Windows 2000/XP workstations can still print to the EX7750. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing.
Page 34: Ex7750 On A Netware Network
2-8 Setting up Network Servers EX7750 on a NetWare network The NetWise features built into the EX7750 support the following network operating environments: • NetWare—NDS (Novell Directory Services) • Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode The term “Netware” is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x. For Ethernet-based networks, the IPX/SPX protocol is supported.
Page 35: Tips For Experts-Ipx Networks
2-9 EX7750 on a NetWare network Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the EX7750 is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The EX7750 with IPX connections has the following characteristics: • A minimum connection to the EX7750 consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.
Page 36: Conﬁguring A Netware Server For Printing
2-10 Setting up Network Servers You do not need to rerun Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue; however, you should restart the EX7750 after you create or remove a queue. When the EX7750 is conﬁgured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues.
Page 37 2-11 EX7750 on a NetWare network With bindery services, you can route all EX7750 print jobs through the same NetWare ﬁle server, or you can conﬁgure more than one ﬁle server to handle EX7750 jobs. The functions you perform on the Novell server, the EX7750, and the client workstation are summarized in the following tables.
