Performing Setup from WebSetup Fiery WebSetup provides remote access to the printer’s Setup menu options. You can use Fiery WebSetup to remotely view and modify the current con- figuration of your printer/copier. Almost all of the options in System Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup can be set using WebSetup.
Page 68: Setup From Websetup
To access Fiery WebSetup: Start your Internet browser application. Enter the IP address or the DNS name of the DocuColor 4 LP/CP in the URL line of your browser. Get the IP address or DNS name of the printer/copier from your network administrator.
Page 69 3.1 Setup from WebSetup Click WebSetup. If a password has been set, you are prompted to enter it before you can access WebSetup. The options that you can specify from Fiery WebSetup are grouped into three categories: System Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup. These are described in the following sections.
Page 70: System Setup
3.1 Setup from WebSetup 3.1.1 System Setup In System Setup, you specify settings from two tabs: the System Setup tab and the Password tab. To set System Setup options: • Click the System Setup button. System Setup tab The options that you can set from the System Setup tab are described below.
Page 71 3.1 Setup from WebSetup Enable Printed Queue  Using a DocuColor 4 CP or, if your DocuColor 4LP has a hard disk drive installed, select this option to create a storage location on the hard disk for the most recent print jobs. Users with Administrator privileges can use the WebSpooler to reprint jobs in the printed queue without sending those jobs again.
Page 72 3.1 Setup from WebSetup To set or change the Administrator password: • Click the Password tab. Enter New Password  To set a new password, enter a password in the Enter New Password text field.
Page 73: Network Setup
You can also enter or change the Administrator password in the System Setup menus on the printer’s control panel. By default no password is set on the DocuColor 4 LP/CP. It is recommended that a password be set to protect the printer/copier from accidental or incorrect changes to printer/copier Setup settings.
Page 74 Port Setup tab The options that you can set from the Port Setup tab are described below. Enable Ethernet  Enable this option if the DocuColor 4 LP/CP is to be connected to an Ethernet network. Transmission Speed  Select Auto Detect if your network environment is mixed, or select the speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) of the network to which the DocuColor 4 LP/CP is attached.
Page 75 Ethernet. IP Address  Enter the DocuColor 4 LP/CP IP address for Ethernet. The DocuColor 4 LP/CP is shipped with the IP address set to the loopback address (127.000.000.001), which is an internal address used for network checking. If you plan to print with TCP/IP, you must first assign the DocuColor 4 LP/CP a unique network IP address.
Page 76 Gateway  If your TCP/IP network has a gateway, and users outside the gateway plan to print to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP using TCP/IP, enter the gateway address here. By default, the loopback address, 127.000.000.001, is set. Obtain the correct gateway address from your network administrator.
Page 77 If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, set up NDS first. Setting up NDS after Bindery will overwrite Bindery Setup. If your network uses both NDS and Bindery, including using NetWare 4.x servers in bindery emulation, the DocuColor 4 LP/CP cannot service NDS and bindery emulation servers on the same NDS tree.
Page 78 This option is located in the Protocol Setup tab. PServer Setup (NDS Configuration) In initial setup, the DocuColor 4 LP/CP was connected to the network and an NDS directory tree, with a Printer, a Print Server, and one or more Print Queue objects.
Page 79 3.1 Setup from WebSetup Your new NDS tree selection automatically overwrites any previous tree selection. If you change the NDS tree selection and there are also current Bindery settings, you are alerted that they will be deleted. If you continue with NDS Setup, you can replace Bindery settings afterwards.
Page 80 Use Bindery Setup if you have already configured one or more bindery servers (file servers running NetWare 3.x or NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation) with a Print Server and a Print Queue for DocuColor 4 LP/CP jobs. Before entering bindery settings, be sure the DocuColor 4 LP/CP is connected to the network and the NetWare file server is running.
Page 81 3.1 Setup from WebSetup Click OK. The Add Server window shows a list of print servers you can add. • Add Server Select a print server from the list on the left. Enter a password if a password is required. Click Finish.
Page 82 Enable Windows Printing Service  Enable this option to enable SMB (Server Message Block), the file and printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the DocuColor 4 LP/CP to be listed on the network so that Windows clients can print to a particular print connection without any other networking software.

• The DocuColor 4 LP/CP looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server. • Each print server can store jobs for any queue on the DocuColor 4 LP/CP. 4.2.1 Overview of IPX printing to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs.
Page 90 When the DocuColor 4 LP/CP is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred over the network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Hold to Hold, Direct to Direct.

75). • For NetWare 3.x and for NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a file server, a print server, and a print queue for the DocuColor 4 LP/CP (see page 82). With bindery services, you can route all DocuColor 4 LP/CP print jobs through the same NetWare file server, or you can configure more than one file server to handle DocuColor 4 LP/CP jobs.

4.3.3 Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context You can connect only one directory tree to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP. If you need to connect additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bind- ery emulation, which causes the 4.x server to behave like and be accepted as a NetWare 3.x server.
Page 102 Up to eight bindery servers, whether in native 3.x mode or in 4.x emulation, can connect to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP. If your server is using NetWare 3.x, proceed to “Setting up a DocuColor 4 LP/CP print queue for bindery” on page 82.

Page 107 You have associated the selected DocuColor 4 LP/CP queue with the print server you created in step 6. The DocuColor 4 LP/CP obtains jobs from all queues defined for a print server, and all jobs from one file server go to the same queue on the DocuColor 4 LP/CP.
Page 108: Setting Up Netware Windows Clients For Printing
These operations can also be performed using Novell Client for Windows 95/98, and Windows NT. • Setting up the DocuColor 4 LP/CP as a PostScript or PCL printer by in- stalling a PostScript or PCL printer driver and the DocuColor 4 LP/CP PPD or PDD (PostScript or PCL printer description file).
Page 109: Setting Up Docucolor 4 Lp/Cp On A Tcp/Ip Network With Windows
When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is configured to connect to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98 clients.
Page 110: Tips For Experts-Windows Nt 4.0 With Tcp/Ip
When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT 4.0 work- stations, note the following: • Make sure you have a valid IP address for the DocuColor 4 LP/CP and for any workstations that will print to it or run Fiery WebTools.
Page 111: Configuring A Windows Nt 4.0 Server For The Docucolor 4 Lp/Cp
• Load the Microsoft TCP/IP Printing service (see the next section). • Enter the host name of the DocuColor 4 LP/CP in the host database used by your system (see page 91). • On the DocuColor 4 LP/CP, perform Server Setup, Network Setup, Printer Setup, PS Setup, and PCL Setup.
Page 112: Adding The Docucolor 4 Lp/Cp To The Tcp/Ip Network
For installations that don’t have a network administrator or a central host name database, add the DocuColor 4 LP/CP to the hosts file on the Windows NT 4.0 server. Also add it to the hosts file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery WebTools.
Page 113 4.7 Configuring a Windows NT 4.0 server to support the DocuColor 4 LP/CP If there is no system-wide host name database, use the following procedure to create a local hosts file. If there is a system-wide host database, skip the following procedure.

If your network uses AppleTalk only, you do not need to install the TCP/IP. This protocol is not required to print documents over an AppleTalk network. Mac OS users can print directly to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP and should install the AdobePS printer driver and the DocuColor 4 LP/CP PPD. These installa- tions are described in the User Guide.
