CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 9 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery EXP8000. Fiery EXP8000 on the network When the Fiery EXP8000 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The Fiery EXP8000 supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other): · AppleTalk · TCP/IP, which also includes the BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, LPD, POP3, Port 9100, SMTP, and SNMP protocols · IPX/SPX (Novell) These protocols can run concurrently on the same cable. Computers that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the supported protocols mentioned. The Fiery EXP8000 is auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously. CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 10 Stages of installation on the network Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are: 1 Configuring the network environment Configure network servers to provide users with access to the Fiery EXP8000 as a networked printer. For information about configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments as they relate specifically to the Fiery EXP8000, see page 12. For information about using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network system. 2 Physically connecting the Fiery EXP8000 to a functioning network Prepare a network node for the Fiery EXP8000. Obtain cable and attach the cable to the network connector of the Fiery EXP8000. For details, see page 20. 3 Setting up the Fiery EXP8000 Configure the Fiery EXP8000 for your printing and network environment (see Setting Up the Fiery EXP8000 from a Network Computer). 4 Preparing user computers for printing Install the files needed for printing, install user software, and connect the user computers to the network. The software installation is described in Printing from Windows and Printing from Mac OS. 5 Administering the Fiery EXP8000 Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise (see Administering the Fiery EXP8000). CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 11 Summary of Fiery EXP8000 network installation Network server configuration Configure network servers to specify Fiery EXP8000 print queues and Fiery EXP8000 users. Network Server Connection Prepare a network node. Connect the Fiery EXP8000 to the network. If you use the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface (FACI), connect it to the network. Fiery EXP8000 Fiery EXP8000 Setup Use the Configure WebTool or Command WorkStation, Windows Edition to configure the Fiery EXP8000. Client computer setup At each computer from which users print: · Install the appropriate printer files and connect to one or more print connections. · Install utilities and an Internet browser on computers where users will use them. · Verify the Fiery EXP8000 in the list of printers and run a test print. Fiery EXP8000 available on the network CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 12 Network server setup requirements This section provides basic information about configuring the Fiery EXP8000 and using it on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information specific to the Fiery EXP8000 is presented. Setting up the network environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of the network administrator. Detailed instructions for configuring networks is beyond the scope of this manual. For information, see the documentation that accompanies your network system. Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before you configure Fiery EXP8000 network settings in Setup. This allows the Fiery EXP8000 to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues. Whenever you change the configuration of the Fiery EXP8000, digital press, or network at your site, alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well. Windows networks · The Fiery EXP8000 requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them dynamically. Make sure the Fiery EXP8000 name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system. If more than one Fiery EXP8000 print connection is published (for example, if both the Print queue and the Hold queue are published), consider creating a printer for each print connection, so that users can print to each connection directly. · Configure the Fiery EXP8000 with the correct Windows domain name. This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. To use Microsoft Active Directory, you must assign the Fiery EXP8000 to a domain. If you assign the Fiery EXP8000 to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory. CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 13 NetWare networks · You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects. For more information, see the documentation that accompanies your network server. · You can configure a single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers simultaneously. · The Fiery EXP8000 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server. NetWare servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a Print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation. Append one of the following suffixes that corresponds to the Fiery EXP8000 print connection to the end of the NetWare queue names as follows: _print _hold _direct NOTE: These suffix names must be in English and in all lowercase letters. You do not need to perform Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue. However, always restart the Fiery EXP8000 after you create or remove a queue that will be connected to the print server used by the Fiery EXP8000. When the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print suffix are sent to the Fiery EXP8000 Print queue. · You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery EXP8000. NOTE: The NetWare bindery server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you selected in NDS Setup, if both NDS and bindery are used by the Fiery EXP8000. AppleTalk networks AppleShare servers require no special configuration. CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 14 UNIX networks · When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the Fiery EXP8000 over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Fiery EXP8000. · Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer. · The Fiery EXP8000 is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols. · The Fiery EXP8000 has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it successfully. Regardless of the UNIX system you use, the name you use for the remote printer (or rp in the /etc/printcap file) in configuring the network for the Fiery EXP8000 must be one of the following: print hold direct Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery EXP8000 as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP 15 PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery EXP8000 configuration (or "Setup") to specify the network environment and the types of printing you do. Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords and other security features that the Fiery EXP8000 offers. Because many of these security features are interconnected, review the information in this chapter to plan for an effective security system, and then perform Setup accordingly. Levels of access and control When you configure the Fiery EXP8000 during Setup, you (as system administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling these elements: · Print connections · Passwords · Access to WebTools Fiery EXP8000 print connections The Fiery EXP8000 supports three print connections: Print queue, Hold queue, and Direct connection. You enable or "publish," these print connections to users on the network when you 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 EXP8000 than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments where maximum control is required. 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 allows you to reprint those jobs. In Setup, enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum number of jobs to retain in the queue (see page 25). To reprint jobs in the Printed queue, use the job management tools (Command WorkStation). NOTE: To use the Fiery utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection. PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP 16 Hold queue Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk for printing at a later time or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to it cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management tools. Print queue The Print queue is the standard Fiery EXP8000 queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and printed in the order in which they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority over jobs sent to the Print queue. Direct connection The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery EXP8000, but only when the Fiery EXP8000 is Idle. If the Fiery EXP8000 is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery EXP8000 is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is processed. Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery EXP8000 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 EXP8000, you must publish the Direct connection. Passwords Implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery EXP8000 functions. The Fiery EXP8000 allows you to set the following passwords: · Administrator · Operator · Windows system password NOTE: The Administrator and Operator passwords are separate from the Windows system password. By default, the Administrator password is set on the Fiery EXP8000, but the Operator password is not. We strongly recommend that you change the Administrator password to protect the Fiery EXP8000 from random or accidental changes to Setup. For more information, see "Setting passwords" on page 47. PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP 17 Administrator privileges Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control because the person who has access to Setup can control the printing and job management environment. Administrator privileges include: · Publishing print connections · Setting passwords · Deleting fonts · Controlling print jobs from the job management tools · Overriding job settings · Clearing the Fiery EXP8000 of all job data · Defining default color profiles · Setting default settings for print options Operator privileges Operator control includes control of print jobs from the job management tools, including the ability to override job settings. Guest privileges (no password) A user does not need a password to log in as a Guest from the job management tools. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the Fiery EXP8000 state. WebTools The Fiery EXP8000 supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see "Configuring WebTools" on page 45. Home Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery EXP8000. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information, see Utilities. Print Print allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF files directly to the Fiery EXP8000 without opening the file in an application. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP 18 Configure Configure allows you to view and modify Fiery EXP8000 options from a network computer. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see Setting Up the Fiery EXP8000 from a Network Computer. Downloads Downloads allows users to download installers for printer drivers and other software directly from the Fiery EXP8000. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information, see Printing from Windows, Printing from Mac OS, and Utilities. Control level examples The following table shows how print connections, passwords, and WebTool access are used together to create varying levels of security. The columns between Minimum Security and Maximum Security represent increasing levels of security. Settings used in Configure Enable Direct connection Enable Print queue Enable Web Services Set an Administrator Password (strongly recommended ) Set an Operator password Minimum Security Maximum Security E-mail viruses and E-mail printing Because you can allow users to print file attachments in e-mail messages sent to the Fiery EXP8000, the Fiery EXP8000 accepts only valid attachments (for example, PostScript or PDF files). Typically, viruses transmitted via e-mail require execution by the receiver. Attachments that are not valid files are discarded by the Fiery EXP8000. Because file types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the Fiery EXP8000 does not process these file types. The Fiery EXP8000 also ignores e-mails in RTF (Rich Text Format) or HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) format, and any included JavaScript code. You can define a list of authorized e-mail addresses on the Fiery EXP8000. Any e-mail that the Fiery EXP8000 receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted. For more information, see page 53. PREPARING FOR FIERY EXP8000 SETUP 19 IP address filtering and port filtering To restrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery EXP8000, you can permit only users whose IP addresses are within a defined range. Commands or jobs sent from unauthorized IP addresses are ignored by the Fiery EXP8000. Secure Printing This option allows the printing of highly sensitive or confidential files. A user printing a file with the printer driver assigns a password to the job. The user must then enter the password at the Fiery EXP8000 to print the job. For more information, see Print Options. Group Printing (Member Printing) This feature allows you to define group names and passwords that users must enter in order to print a job. The user enters the group name and password from the printer driver, or from an override in Command WorkStation. The group name is included in the Job Log when the job is printed. You can use this feature for accounting purposes and for limiting printing to users who have a valid group name and password. For more information, see Print Options.

You can also set the date and time automatically by specifying an Internet time server. Passwords see page 47. Auto Print Job Log Every 55 Jobs specifies whether the Fiery EXP8000 prints the Job Log after every 55 jobs. The Job Log lists the last 55 jobs processed on the Fiery EXP8000, with accounting information about each one, including user name, document name, time and date printed, number of pages, and other job information. Auto Clear Job Log Every 55 Jobs specifies whether the Fiery EXP8000 clears the Job Log after every 55 jobs. If you do not select this option, the Fiery EXP8000 saves a file containing a record of all jobs ever printed. Since this file takes up space on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk, clearing the Job Log frees up additional disk space. Password Protect Job Log requires users to enter the Administrator password before printing or deleting the Job Log. Job Log Page Size selects a paper size for the printed Job Log. Enable Printed Queue enables the Printed queue, a storage location on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk for recently printed jobs. You can reprint jobs from the Printed queue without resending them to the Fiery EXP8000. If the Printed queue is not enabled, jobs are deleted from the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk immediately after they are printed. Jobs Saved in Printed Queue specifies the number of jobs stored in the Printed queue. Jobs in the Printed queue take up space on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk. Use Character Set specifies whether the job management tools use the Macintosh, DOS, or Windows character set for displaying file names. This is important if a file name includes accented or composite characters (such as é or æ). For mixed-platform networks, select the setting that gives the best overall representation of the special characters you use.

Option Allow Courier Substitution Settings (default is underlined) Yes, No Description Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are unavailable when you download files to the Fiery EXP8000, or when you print a document for which you do not have the corresponding printer font. If this option is set to No, jobs with fonts that are unavailable on the Fiery EXP8000 hard disk generate a PostScript error and do not print. This setting does not apply to PDF files; font substitution occurs automatically in PDF files. With this option set to Text or Text & Graphics, the final text or text/ graphic portions of the page are overprinted, or combined with the underlying colors. The quality of the output is improved since it will not show artifacts near the edges of the text or text/graphics. With this option set to Off, the border of the text or text/graphics is on an edge that has cyan and magenta toners on one side (outside the text) and black toner on the other side (inside the text). Black Text/Graphics Pure Black On, Pure Black Off, Normal This option optimizes black text and line art. The option also minimizes toner use for documents consisting of both color and black-only pages. With the setting Pure Black On, black text and line art are printed with black toner only. With the option Off, black text and line art are printed using all four colors of toner. For more information, see Color Printing. Brightness CMYK Simulation Method 85% - 115% Quick, Full (Source GCR), Full (Output GCR) Select the brightness of output. Quick simulation assumes that the digital press toners match the printer's inks, and all changes affect only one color (C, M, Y, or K) at a time. Full (Source GCR) simulation allows for more flexibility in matching toner to ink and all changes interact to maintain a better color balance. Full (Output GCR) offers accurate proofing by providing a colorimetric conversion of all four plates. In this simulation method, the black (K) plate is mixed into the CMY plates, then reseparated based on the Output profile. Black Overprint Off, Text, Text & Graphics SETUP OPTION REFERENCE 42 Option Settings (default is underlined) Description CMYK simulation allows color correction to simulate printed output on a commercial press, so that the Fiery EXP8000 output can be used for proofing. The SWOP-Coated standard is used in the United States, DIC in Japan, and Euroscale in Europe. Custom simulations are user defined and named.
