Chapter 2:
Setting up
the Fiery X2
The Fiery X2 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 X2 Setup
Setup is required the first time the Fiery X2 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 this order from the Control Panel.
If you don't configure the remaining Setups, the Fiery X2 uses default settings. These
defaults are adequate for allowing users to print to the Fiery X2, but might not be
appropriate for the printing environment at your site.
Network server setup requirements
On NetWare or Windows NT 4.0 networks, the network servers must be configured
for printing to the Fiery X2 before you enter network settings on the Fiery X2. The
diagrams on pages 1-4 through 1-9 give chapter references for network server setup.
You need a live network connection so that the Fiery X2 can query the network for
zones, servers, and server-based queues.
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.
Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes in more
