2-2 Setting up Network Servers
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and WebTools from a
Windows computer.
The Windows NT 4.0/2000 server can also use AppleTalk protocols to print to the
Fiery X3e as an alternative to TCP/IP.
When you create a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not "capture" the
N :
OTE
printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server, rather than directly
to the printer. If you capture the printer, Fiery X3e print connections will not appear
in the Mac OS Chooser.
Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP using TCP/IP protocols is
similar to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network
connections are made from Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP workstations, note
the following:
• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and any workstations that will
print to it or run the Fiery utilities.
• In Fiery X3e Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for the Fiery X3e.
You can enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign
them dynamically.
• Make sure the Fiery X3e name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or
hosts name database used by your system.
• Make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery X3e
as a remote printer.

• For Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, install the appropriate printer driver files (PCL or
PostScript) on the Windows NT 4.0/2000 server.
For more information, see the
• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery X3e.
Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the
TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.
