Setting up the Fiery X2 on TCP/IP networks

Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery X2, must have a
unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to
obtain an address for the Fiery X2. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print
directly to the Fiery X2 as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server
or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.
