xiii Network administration features This manual is intended for anyone who is responsible for integrating the Fiery X3 for Introduction Pi5500 ™ into a business environment that includes networked personal computers. After setting up the Fiery X3 for Pi5500 and client workstations, as described in this manual and in Getting Started, individual users can print to the Fiery X3 for Pi5500 as a high-performance printer.
xiv Introduction • Support for PCL and PostScript PCL (Printer Control Language) and PostScript are both page description languages— computer languages that control the transfer of information from the computer to the controller. Both PCL and PostScript, along with separate sets of fonts, are standard with the Pi5500.
xv About the documentation • Chapter 3 describes Pi5500 configuration from a Windows computer. • Chapter 4 offers guidelines for setting up Windows NT and Novell network servers and UNIX systems for printing to the Pi5500. • Chapter 5 summarizes some administrative features of Pi5500 software that are available for IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk networks, and also offers some troubleshooting hints.
1-1 Pi5500 on the network This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Pi5500 and includes diagrams Chapter 1: that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. Connecting to the Network Pi5500 on the network When the Pi5500 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PCL or PostScript printer.
1-2 Connecting to the Network 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 Pi5500 to a functioning network Prepare a network node for the Pi5500—obtain cable and route it to the location where the Pi5500 will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface of the Pi5500.

2-39 Pi5500 print connections Pi5500 print connections In Pi5500 Printer Setup, you decide how the Pi5500 manages print jobs by deciding which printing connections should be “published” to users over the network. All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. If you do not want users to print to a connection, do not publish it.
2-40 Setting up the Pi5500 The Pi5500 hard disk supports up to three queues (Print, Hold, and Printed). Users may print to two of them (Print and Hold). • —This is the standard Pi5500 queue. The Pi5500 prints jobs from the Print queue Print queue in the order in which they were received.
Page 71
2-41 Printer Setup options In the list of options that follows, default values, where applicable, appear in square brackets. Publish Direct Connection Yes/No [Yes] This option enables users to print (or download) jobs to the Pi5500 without spooling. Jobs printed to the Direct connection are not saved in the Printed queue.

4-1 Pi5500 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network Chapter 4: servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0 servers—that will share Setting up printing to the Pi5500. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP Network Servers protocols for communicating with the Pi5500.
4-2 Setting up Network Servers NDPS is not like the earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available for clients to download from Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT 4.0 computers.

4-3 Pi5500 on a NetWare 5.x network with NDPS In Pi5500 Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP (page 2-16) and LPD printing (page 2-21) on the Pi5500. You can ping the Pi5500 (page 4-21) to verify that TCP/IP communication is successful. Setting up the Pi5500 on a NetWare 5.x network Depending on the security needs at your organization, you can set up the Pi5500 as a Public Access printer or a Controlled Access printer.

4-5 Pi5500 on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x network The Pi5500 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. (Appendix A describes the Token Ring option.) During Pi5500 setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the Pi5500 and network servers.
4-6 Setting up Network Servers Overview of IPX printing to the Pi5500 NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation.
4-7 Pi5500 on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x network Configuring a NetWare server for printing The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare file server so that networked users can print to the Pi5500 from their workstations, and the Pi5500 can obtain print jobs from the NetWare server.

4-10 Setting up Network Servers Setting up a Pi5500 print queue for bindery For NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and print queue for Pi5500 are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory. As with NDS, first you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you select them in Network Setup on the Pi5500 Control Panel.
4-11 Pi5500 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 Pi5500 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0 When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is configured to connect to the Pi5500 using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Pi5500. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0 clients.
4-12 Setting up Network Servers Configuring a Windows NT 4.0 server to support the Pi5500 To configure a Windows NT 4.0 server to communicate with the Pi5500, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections. • Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
