3-8 Preparing for Fiery Setup
Network server setup requirements
For Novell and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 (using TCP/IP) networks, you
must configure the network servers for printing to the Fiery before you configure Fiery
network settings in Setup. For chapter references to information about network server
Setup, see the diagrams in Chapter 1.
To configure network settings in Setup, you must have a live network connection, so
the Fiery can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever the configuration of the Fiery, the printer, or the network itself changes at
your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment.
Changing network or port settings may require that you also make changes to other
Setup options.
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.
Ensuring the printer connection
Complete the following steps before you configure the Fiery and the workstations that
will print to the Fiery. A service technician will have performed some
initial
installation.
TO PREPARE FOR FIERY CONFIGURATION
1. Print a printer Test Page to verify the printer is functioning normally.
2. With the the printer turned off, connect the network cable to the the printer, as
described in Chapter 1.
The network should already be installed and operational.
3. Turn on the printer.
Proceed to Fiery Setup, described in Chapter 4.
