You must use a Category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable network cable for 100BaseT. Parallel cable connection The Fiery can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port.
2 2-26 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Serv- Chapter 2: Setting up Network Servers This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers—that share printing to the Fiery. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery. In addition, it includes guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT 4.
2 2-27 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Serv- 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 Fiery WebTools from a Windows computer.
2 2-28 Setting up Network Servers Configuring a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to communicate with the Fiery To configure a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to communicate with the Fiery, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections in this chapter and in your Microsoft documentation. • Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
2 2-29 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Serv- Adding the Fiery 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 2-46. To add the Fiery to a TCP/IP network with a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server 1. Register the IP address of the Fiery in the host name database used by your system.
2 2-30 Setting up Network Servers Installing the Fiery 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. However, if you are an administrator running a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or Windows NT 4.
2 2-31 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Serv- Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, or Windows NT 4.0/ 2000/XP/Server 2003 computer. In that case, the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server as the server uses to communicate with the Fiery. To connect and print to the Fiery shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server • Windows 98/Me: Before printing, double-click the Windows NT 4.
2 2-32 Setting up Network Servers 2003 server, Windows workstations can still print to the Fiery. This method of printing is called Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations operate in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery when users send print jobs. Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a Windows NT 4.
2 2-33 Fiery on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Serv- If the CD does not start automatically, click [Start]→[Run] and enter E:\Setup (where E is your CD-ROM drive) in the Open field, then click on [OK].
2 2-34 Setting up Network Servers Fiery on a NetWare network The NetWise™ features built into the Fiery 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. Note: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the Novell network administrator.
2 2-35 Fiery on a NetWare network Tips for experts—IPX networks Setting up the Fiery is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on the network. The Fiery with IPX connections has the following characteristics: • A minimum connection to the Fiery consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue. • A single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers can be configured simultaneously.
2 2-36 Setting up Network Servers When the Fiery 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 automatically transferred over the network to the matching connection on the Fiery. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery Print queue. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You can access the Job Log containing these records at any time.
2 2-37 Fiery on a NetWare network The functions you perform on the Novell server, the Fiery, and the client workstation are summarized in the following tables. The first table applies to NDS connections, and the second to bindery connections. Complete the operations in the left column, then the center column, then the right column.
2 2-38 Setting up Network Servers Configuring a bindery connection On Bindery FS In PCONSOLE: Select NetWare FS (up to 8) For each FS: Configure PS Configure PQ Configure users of the PQ In Setup from Command WorkStation Port Setup Ethernet Setup Protocol Setup IPX/SPX Setup—select frame types Service Setup PServer Setup and Bindery Setup Add FS (up to 8) Set Polling Interval On client workstation Install user software.
2 2-39 Fiery on a NetWare network to connect additional NetWare servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation. You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery. Note: The file server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you selected in NDS Setup.
2 2-40 Setting up Network Servers After the Novell server and the Fiery have been set up, client setup consists of: • Installing the networking protocol, binding it to the network adapter card, and permitting the client to log in to the NetWare file server. On Windows 98/Me workstations, load both the IPX/SPXcompatible protocol and the Client for NetWare Networks from the Network Control Panel. On Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations, install Client Services for NetWare.
2 2-41 Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver available for clients to download from Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computers.
2 2-42 Setting up Network Servers NDPS Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation. In Fiery Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP and LPD printing on the Fiery. You can ping the Fiery to verify that TCP/IP communication is successful. Setting up the Fiery printer driver You first need to create a directory for Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/ Server 2003 or a folder for Windows 98/Me in the NetWare server for NDPS to install the corresponding printer driver files from the User Software CD.
2 2-43 Fiery on a NetWare network with NDPS 2. In the SYS:ndps\resdir\Prndrv\Win98/Me directory, create a directory called Fiery. 3. From the User Software CD, copy the contents of the ENGLISH\WIN_98/ps/folder to the Fiery directory. Setting up the Fiery on a NetWare network Depending on the security needs at your organization, you can set up the Fiery as a Public Access printer or a Controlled Access printer. The following procedure describes setting up a Public Access printer.
2 2-44 Setting up Network Servers 5. Under Gateway Types, select Novell Printer Gateway, and click OK. 6. In the Configure Novell PDS for Printer Agent dialog box, select “((NONE))”, and click OK. 7. In the Configure Port Handler dialog box, choose “Remote LPR on IP” as the connection type, and click Next. 8. For Host Address, enter the IP address of the Fiery. 9. For Printer Name, enter the name of the Fiery print connection you want users to print to, and click Finish.
2 2-45 Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations requirements as setting up any printer or new device: • A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery as well as for each workstation on the network. • A name must be selected for the Fiery that goes with the IP address. • The IP address of the Fiery must be registered for the network in a host name database, and also on the Fiery itself. • At least one print connection (Print or Hold) must be published.
2 2-46 Setting up Network Servers For the Windows 2000/XP printer driver, enter the remote printer name for Queue Name under LPR Settings in the Configure Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor dialog box. Setting up the Fiery on TCP/IP networks Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an address for the Fiery.
2 2-47 Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations 4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any Windows computer on the network, at the MSDOS command prompt, type: ping Type the Fiery IP address assigned in Fiery Network Setup. After the Fiery is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to the Fiery: ping The server should respond with a message such as Reply from ...
2 2-48 Setting up Network Servers 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 and files directly to the Fiery.
3 3-49 Levels of access and control Chapter 3: Preparing for Fiery Setup ‘To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery configuration, or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do. Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access you will implement for your site. Administrators and operators must also understand how Fiery system software is structured in order to configure and use the Fiery system correctly.
3 3-50 Preparing for Fiery Setup configure Printer Setup. All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. The Print queue and Direct connection give remote users more direct access to the Fiery than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments where maximum control is desired. In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs from the Print queue.
3 3-51 Levels of access and control Note: The Direct connection is not supported for LPR printing. Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery hard disk, and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct connection do appear in the Job Log, for accounting purposes. Note: To download fonts to the Fiery, you must publish the Direct connection.
3 3-52 Preparing for Fiery Setup Passwords You can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery functions. The Fiery allows you to set the following passwords in Setup: • Administrator—remotely from Command WorkStation, or locally from the Control Panel • Operator—from Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup Note: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery.
3 3-53 Levels of access and control Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable the use of WebTools, you must do the following in Setup: • Enable TCP/IP. • Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery. • Enable Web Services. For more information, see Chapter 6. You can set passwords to control access to WebTools features. If you do not specifically set these passwords, all users have access to all WebTools functions (see page 3-52).
3 3-54 Preparing for Fiery Setup WebLink WebLink provides all users with a link to an address on the Internet. To change the WebLink Internet address, see page 6-145. This function requires the Administrator password, if one has been set (see “Passwords” on page 3-52). Note: If you do not set the Administrator password, any user can change the WebLink address, which affects all users. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you set an Administrator password.
3 3-55 Levels of access and control Control level scenarios Typical scenarios of access and control, ranging from minimum control to maximum control, are described in this section. Choose the scenario that best matches your site requirements, and refer to the corresponding number in the following table for guidance on how to configure your system for those requirements. Note: We strongly recommend that you set at least an Administrator password to prevent unauthorized changes to system settings. 1.
3 3-56 Preparing for Fiery Setup The operator controls all job flow, but jobs sent to the Print queue may not require operator intervention. There is no access to WebTools. 5. An administrator and an operator; operator controls all jobs; no WebTool access (Maximum control) Only an administrator can perform Setup, calibration, and other administrator functions, and only an operator or administrator can control jobs from the job management tools. Users can print only to the Hold queue.
3 3-57 About Setup About Setup Setup configures the Fiery to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. You must perform Setup the first time you turn on the Fiery, or if the internal hard disk drive has just been replaced. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate for allowing users to print to the Fiery and use the WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can change Setup options accordingly.
3 3-58 Preparing for Fiery Setup Note: You must configure the Fiery with the correct Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. Note: The Fiery does not support the Windows 2000/Server 2003 Active Directory Service. When you use the Fiery in a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server environment, assign the Fiery to a Domain or Workgroup.
4 4-59 Fiery Setup from the Printing Unit Control Panel Chapter 4: Performing Setup from the Printing Unit Control Panel Setup is required the first time the machine is turned on after installation or if the hard disk drive has just been replaced.
