2-1 Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network Chapter 2: servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers— Setting up that share printing to the Fiery X3e. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX Network Servers or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery X3e.
Page 26: Tips For Experts-Windows With Tcp/Ip
2-2 Setting up Network Servers Typical system combinations are: • Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 Server; clients running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and Windows 98/Me • Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and clients running Windows 98/Me With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and WebTools from a Windows computer.

More detail is provided in subsequent sections in this chapter and in your Microsoft documentation.
Page 28 2-4 Setting up Network Servers Adding the Fiery X3e to the TCP/IP network If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers and Windows clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network includes UNIX workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-19.
Page 29 2-5 Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Installing the Fiery X3e 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 Fiery X3e.
Page 30 2-6 Setting up Network Servers Conﬁguring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server Each client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery X3e if it has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computer.
Page 31 2-7 Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Conﬁguring Windows computers without a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, Windows workstations can still print to the Fiery X3e. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing.
Page 32: Fiery X3E On A Netware Network
2-8 Setting up Network Servers Fiery X3e on a NetWare network The NetWise ™ features built into the Fiery X3e 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. Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the Novell network administrator.
Page 33: Tips For Experts-Ipx Networks
2-9 Fiery X3e on a NetWare network Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the Fiery X3e is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The Fiery X3e with IPX connections has the following characteristics: • A minimum connection to the Fiery X3e consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.
Page 34: 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 Fiery X3e after you create or remove a queue. When the Fiery X3e is conﬁgured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues.
Page 35 2-11 Fiery X3e on a NetWare network Conﬁguring an NDS connection Abbreviations: FS = ﬁle server PS = print server PQ = print queue (on the NetWare server) In Setup from On NDS FS On client workstation Command WorkStation In NETADMIN: Port Setup Install user software.
Page 36 2-12 Setting up Network Servers Setting up an NDS connection In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context that deﬁnes the location of the object in the directory tree. For the Fiery X3e, you are mainly concerned with deﬁning a printer, a print server object, and one or more print queue objects.
Page 37 2-13 Fiery X3e on a NetWare network Setting up a NetWare print queue for bindery For NetWare in emulation mode, the NetWare print server and print queue for the Fiery X3e are created and conﬁgured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in the NetWare PUBLIC directory.
Page 38: Fiery X3E On A Netware Network With Ndps
2-14 Setting up Network Servers Fiery X3e on a NetWare network with NDPS The Fiery X3e supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery X3e takes advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services).
Page 39: Conﬁguring A Netware Server For Printing With Ndps
2-15 Fiery X3e on a NetWare network with NDPS Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing with NDPS Before you begin The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x or later installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS.

Page 42: Tips For Experts-Unix Workstations
2-18 Setting up Network Servers Tips for experts—UNIX workstations Setting up the Fiery X3e in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device: • A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery X3e as well as for each workstation on the network.
Page 43: Setting Up The Fiery X3E On Tcp/Ip Networks
2-19 Fiery X3e on a network with UNIX workstations Setting up the Fiery X3e on TCP/IP networks Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery X3e, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an address for the Fiery X3e.
Page 44 2-20 Setting up Network Servers After the Fiery X3e is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to the Fiery X3e: ping <hostname> The server should respond with a message such as Reply from <IP address> ... Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address.
Page 45: Managing Print Jobs
2-21 Fiery X3e on a network with UNIX workstations Managing print jobs UNIX network administrators can use UNIX utilities for viewing the list of jobs, and for printing and removing jobs that are spooled on UNIX servers. If the network includes a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstation that has TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can use Command WorkStation or Fiery Downloader not only to view the list of jobs and to print and remove jobs but also to download fonts...
Page 47: Chapter 3: Preparing For Fiery X3E Setup
3-1 Levels of access and control To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery X3e conﬁguration, Chapter 3: or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do. Preparing for Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access you will implement for Fiery X3e Setup your site.
Page 48 3-2 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. In Setup, you can enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs retained in the queue (see page 4-8).

After the initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the Control Panel (page 4-3) or Command WorkStation.
Page 55 3-9 About Setup O PREPARE FOR IERY E CONFIGURATION 1. Print a copier/printer Test Page to verify the copier/printer is functioning normally. 2. Turn off the copier/printer and connect the interface cable from the copier/printer to the Fiery X3e. 3. To conﬁrm this connection, turn on the copier/printer and the Fiery X3e, and print a Test Page from the Fiery X3e Control Panel.
Page 57: Chapter 4: Performing Setup From The Control Panel
4-1 Fiery X3e Setup from the Control Panel Setup is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery X3e is turned on after new system software is Chapter 4: loaded. In this initial Setup, you (or the service technician who loads the software) Performing choose the language for Fiery X3e Control Panel menus and messages.
Page 58 4-2 Performing Setup from the Control Panel There are two Control Panels for the Fiery X3e. One for the copier and one for the printer. Both are located on the front of the copier/printer and allow you to set options and view information about jobs printed to the Fiery X3e.
