 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 10

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery Color Server.

Fiery Color Server on the network

When the Fiery Color Server is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer.
The Fiery Color Server supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers
on a network to communicate with each other):
AppleTalk, Bonjour
TCP/IP, which also includes the BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, IPP, IPv4, IPv6,
LDAP, LPD, NBT, POP3, Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, and SSL/TLS
protocols

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. The Fiery Color Server is
auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.
 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 11

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 Color Server as a
networked printer. For information about configuring network servers in Windows and
UNIX network environments as they relate specifically to the Fiery Color Server, see page 13.
For information about using your network, see your network documentation.
2 Physically connecting the Fiery Color Server to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the Fiery Color Server. Obtain cable, route it to the location
where the Fiery Color Server is to be installed, and attach the cable to the network connector
of the Fiery Color Server. For details, see page 21.
3 Setting up the Fiery Color Server

Configure the Fiery Color Server for your printing and network environment (see page 23
and page 51).
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 Color Server

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise
(see page 58).

 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 13

Network server setup requirements

This section provides basic information about configuring the Fiery Color Server and using it
on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only
information specific to the Fiery Color Server 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
document. For information, see your network documentation.

Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before
you configure Fiery Color Server network settings in Setup. This allows the Fiery Color
Server to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever you change the configuration of the Fiery Color Server, copier, 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 Color Server 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 Color Server name and address are listed in a domain name
server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.

If more than one Fiery Color Server 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 Color Server 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 Color Server to a domain.
If you assign the Fiery Color Server to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.

AppleTalk networks
AppleShare servers require no special configuration.

To allow Mac OS X v10.4.x computers to access Bonjour printers, you must enable Bonjour
on the Fiery Color Server.
 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 14

UNIX networks
When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the Fiery Color
Server over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Fiery Color Server.

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 Color Server is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.

The Fiery Color Server 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 Color Server must be one of the
following:
print
hold
direct

Computers on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery Color Server 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 COLOR SERVER SETUP 15

PREPARING FOR FIERY COLOR SERVER SETUP

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery Color Server
configuration (or Setup) to specify the network environment and the types of printing you
do. Before you perform Setup, decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords and
other security features that the Fiery Color Server 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 Color Server during Setup, you implement a particular level of
control by configuring these elements:
Users and Groups
Print connections
Access to WebTools

Users and Groups

With WebTools Configure, you create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with
particular privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default,
and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.

In addition to assigning the users that you have created to a group, you can add users from
your organizations global address list if you have LDAP services enabled on the Fiery Color
Server.

The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy.
For more information, including specific procedures, see WebTools Configure Help.

User authentication
The term user authentication means the Fiery Color Server verifies that the user who is
sending a job belongs to a group, and the group has printing privileges (Print in B&W or
Print in Color and B&W).

By default, the Fiery Color Server does not enforce user authentication. That is, even if you
assign passwords to users and assign the users to groups, no authentication occurs unless you
clear the Allow users to print without authentication checkbox (in Configure > Users and
Groups). If this option is selected, anyone can print to the Fiery Color Server.
 PREPARING FOR FIERY COLOR SERVER SETUP 16

N OTE : This option is also available in Setup from the copier touch panel (Allow Printing
From on page 31).

If you require users to specify their user name and password (that is, you have cleared the
Allow users to print without authentication checkbox), users must type this information in
the printer driver when they print. Also, users must specify their user name and password if
they create files from the printer driver for printing later (such as an e-mail attachment that
will be sent to the Fiery Color Server).

Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that
FTP jobs are authenticated (see Require Password for Printing on page 43).

Passwords
When you create a new user in WebTools Configure > Users and Groups, you assign a
password to the user. In addition, you can also set passwords for these areas:
Default admin user in Administrators group
Default operator user in Operators group
Windows system password

N OTE : The Administrator and Operator passwords are separate from the Windows system
password.

By default, the Administrator password is set on the Fiery Color Server. Change the
Administrator password periodically to protect the Fiery Color Server from accidental or
malicious changes to Setup. For more information, see Setting passwords on page 59.

Users in the Administrators and Operators groups have privileges in addition to the explicit
ones that you set when you create groups. Examples of these privileges are provided in the
following sections.

Administrator privileges
Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges
include:
Configuring the Fiery Color Server from the Configure application or from the copier
touch panel
Adding and deleting groups
Adding and deleting users
Setting and changing passwords for users
Deleting, printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log
Deleting, viewing, and modifying users print jobs
Clearing the Fiery Color Server of all job data
 PREPARING FOR FIERY COLOR SERVER SETUP 17

Printing in black-and-white or color

Publishing print connections
Deleting fonts
Controlling print jobs from the job management tools
Overriding job settings
Setting default settings for print options
Calibrating the Fiery Color Server

Operator privileges
Users in the Operators group control print jobs from the job management tools, including
the following:
Viewing the Job Log
Deleting, viewing, and modifying other users print jobs
Printing in black-and-white or color

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 Color Server
state.

Fiery Color Server print connections

The Fiery Color Server supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print 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 users more direct access to the
Fiery Color Server 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 users to reprint those jobs by using the job
management tools (for example, Command WorkStation).

N OTE : To use the utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection.

Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery Color Server 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.
 PREPARING FOR FIERY COLOR SERVER SETUP 18

Print queue
The Print queue is the standard Fiery Color Server 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 Color Server, but only when the
Fiery Color Server is Idle. If the Fiery Color Server is busy, the job remains at the users
computer until the Fiery Color Server 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 Color Server 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.

N OTE : To download fonts to the Fiery Color Server, you must publish the Direct connection.

WebTools
The Fiery Color Server supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows
and Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see Configuring WebTools on
page 56.

Home
Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the
Fiery Color Server. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information,
see Utilities.

Downloads
Downloads allows users to download installers for printer drivers and other software directly
from the Fiery Color Server. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more
information, see Printing from Windows, Printing from Mac OS, and Utilities.

Docs
Docs allows users to access, manage, and modify jobs in their mailboxes on the Fiery Color
Server, and submit jobs to the Fiery Color Server. For more information, see WebTools Docs
Help.
 PREPARING FOR FIERY COLOR SERVER SETUP 19

Scan Settings
Scan Settings allows you to define scan templates from a remote computer. These scan
templates are accessible from the copier when you scan a file. The administrator has full access
to all scan templates. In addition, the administrator can create new scan templates in Scan
Settings and can import and export scan templates. For general information about scanning,
see Utilities. For information about Scan Settings, see WebTools Scan Settings Help.

Configure
Configure allows you to view and modify Fiery Color Server options from a network
computer. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information,
see page 51.

Additional security features

In addition to the traditional security features such as passwords, you can use the following
features to keep the Fiery Color Server secure:
E-mail access
IP addresses and ports, and MAC addresses
Secure Printing
LDAP authentication

Controlling E-mail access to the Fiery Color Server

Because you can allow users to print file attachments in e-mail messages sent to the Fiery
Color Server, the Fiery Color Server 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 Color Server. Because file types
such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the Fiery Color Server
does not process these file types. The Fiery Color Server also ignores e-mails in RTF
(Rich Text Format) or HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) format, and any included
JavaScript code.

You can define lists of authorized e-mail addresses on the Fiery Color Server. Any e-mail that
the Fiery Color Server receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted.
For more information, see page 63.

Restricting IP addresses and ports, and MAC addresses

To restrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery Color Server, you can permit only users
whose IP addresses or MAC addresses are within a defined range. You can also close
unnecessary ports to reject inbound access from the network. Commands or jobs sent from
unauthorized IP addresses or ports are ignored by the Fiery Color Server.
 PREPARING FOR FIERY COLOR SERVER SETUP 20

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 copier to print the job. For more information, see Print Options and Printing from
Windows.

LDAP authentication
When you enable LDAP communication to retrieve names and other information for people
at your organization, you can specify the type of authentication. For more information, see
page 44.

Enable Queues
To enable users to access the utilities and WebTools or print to the Fiery Color Server over a
TCP/IP network, you must publish at least the Hold queue or the Print queue. Only the
queues that you publish are available to users.

Publish Direct Connection

The Direct connection allows users to print (or download) jobs to the Fiery Color Server
without spooling the jobs. Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not saved in the Printed
queue.

If you plan to download fonts to the Fiery Color Server, you must publish the
Direct connection.

Publish Print Queue

Jobs that are printed (or downloaded) to the Print queue are spooled to the Fiery Color Server
hard disk and printed on a first-in, first-out basis.

Publish Hold Queue

Jobs that are printed (or downloaded) to the Hold queue can be printed only by copying or
moving the jobs to the Print queue (for example, with Command WorkStation).
 SETTING UP THE FIERY COLOR SERVER FROM THE COPIER TOUCH PANEL 31

Enable Printed Queue

The Printed queue is a storage location on the Fiery Color Server hard disk for recent jobs
that were printed from the Print queue. Users do not print to the Printed queue. However,
users with Administrator or Operator access to the job management tools can reprint jobs
from the Printed queue without resending them to the Fiery Color Server. If you do not
enable the Printed queue, jobs are deleted from the Fiery Color Server hard disk immediately
after they are printed.

Jobs Saved in Printed Queue

1-99, 10

If you have enabled the Printed queue, specify the number of jobs to store in the Printed
queue. Jobs in the Printed queue take up space on the Fiery Color Server hard disk. If disk
space is low, specify a smaller number of saved jobs.

Allow Printing From

Fiery Color Server. If you select Authorized users for this option, users must belong to a group
to which you have assigned printing privileges.

Personality
Auto, PCL, PS

Choose the personality of the copier. If you choose Auto, the page description language of
incoming jobs is automatically detected and sent to the appropriate interpreter, PostScript or
PCL.

If you choose a specific interpreter, incoming jobs are initially sent to that interpreter. If the
job type does not match, the job is sent to the other interpreter.

Enable Job Mismatch

Select this option if you want the Fiery Color Server to take particular action if the job cannot
print because of missing resources.

Mismatch Action
Suspend, Cancel

If you enabled Job Mismatch, choose the action for mismatched jobs. While a job is
suspended, other jobs continue to process and print.

Mismatch Timeout
0-999

If you enabled Job Mismatch, specify how long (in seconds) the Fiery Color Server waits
before it determines that a job is mismatched and therefore should be canceled.
 SETTING UP THE FIERY COLOR SERVER FROM THE COPIER TOUCH PANEL 32

PostScript/PCL Setup
These Setup menus allow you to set printing defaults for jobs sent to the Fiery Color Server.
When a user prints a job from the printer driver, the user can make a specific setting for most
print options on a job-by-job basis, and this setting is applied to the job. However, users who
send jobs without a printer driver (for example, from UNIX or DOS command lines) cannot
specify a setting and therefore must rely on the defaults that you set in Setup. For information
about these defaults, see Setup options on page 53.

VDP Setup
For information about printing variable data documents with FreeForm, see Variable Data
Printing.

FreeForm 1 Record Length

Job, FreeForm Master

Choose the record length for FreeForm jobs. The Job setting defines the record boundary as
the entire job. The FreeForm Master setting defines the record boundary as the length of the
FreeForm master.

Native Document Setup

Native document conversion allows the automatic conversion and printing of Microsoft
Office files (Word, Powerpoint, and Excel). When a user sends these file formats to the Fiery
Color Server as either an e-mail attachment or through the USB Media Server feature, the
Fiery Color Server sends them to the PrintMe server for conversion to PostScript files. The
files are then printed on the Fiery Color Server.

Enable Native Document Conversion using PrintMe

When you select this option, the connection to the PrintMe server is initiated. You must
enable DNS (page 37) to use this option.

Send licensing updates to the Fiery administrator e-mail address

The Job Log is a record of all jobs processed or printed on the Fiery Color Server, whether
they originate from a user computer, a network server, or the Fiery Color Server. You can
print the Job Log from the copier touch panel or from the job management tools.

The printed Job Log lists accounting information about each job, including user name,
document name, time and date printed, and number of pages. Windows and Mac OS users
can enter job-specific notes that appear in the Job Log.
 SETTING UP THE FIERY COLOR SERVER FROM THE COPIER TOUCH PANEL 33

Network Setup options

When you perform Network Setup, you configure the Fiery Color Server to receive jobs over
the network systems that are used at your site, including setting network addresses and names
to be used by computers, servers, and the Fiery Color Server when they communicate with
each other.

Before performing Network Setup, confirm that the Fiery Color Server is connected to an
active network because the Fiery Color Server queries the network for zones, servers, and
server-based queues. If you perform Network Setup without a connected and functioning
network, default settings are used that may not meet your needs.

Configure options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If your
network requirements change, you can change Network Setup at any time. If the Fiery Color
Server is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically switches to the correct
protocol when it receives a print job.

 ADMINISTERING THE FIERY COLOR SERVER 63

USB printing
Users can save PS, EPS, PCL, TIFF, and PDF files to a USB device and print those files on
the Fiery Color Server. To print files automatically when you connect the USB drive to the
Fiery Color Server, save the files to specific folders or to the root level on the USB drive.

Users can also print from the copier touch panel. For more information about printing, see
Printing from Windows and Printing from Mac OS.

TO SET UP THE USB DRIVE FOR AUTOMATIC PRINTING

1 Configure the USB printing options in Setup (see page 35).

2 Create folders at the top level (root level) of the USB device named Print, Hold, and Direct.

3 Save the files from the users computer to the USB drive.

Files copied to the Print, Hold, and Direct folders are downloaded to the corresponding print
connection on the Fiery Color Server automatically when you connect the USB drive to the
Fiery Color Server.
Files copied to the root level of the drive are downloaded to the queue configured for USB
printing (page 35). For information about enabling print connections, see page 30.
4 Remove the USB device from the users computer and connect it to the USB port on the Fiery
Color Server.

For the location of the USB port, see page 21.

Make sure the USB device is properly stopped before you disconnect it from the computer.

Managing e-mail address books

You can manage e-mail/Internet Fax addresses on the Fiery Color Server by sending e-mail
messages in a particular format to the Fiery Color Server. Management features are
overwriting the address book, adding new addresses, removing addresses, and retrieving
current addresses on the Fiery Color Server.

Users use the address books when they send attachment files to a particular e-mail/Internet
Fax address.

N OTE : E-mail messages can be sent only from an administrator account.

The Fiery Color Server supports the following address books:

Admin allows members to modify the address book, get the current address book from the
Fiery Color Server, cancel a job, or receive the status of a job. However, membership in this
address book does not provide the same privileges as the Administrator password (page 59)
does.
 ADMINISTERING THE FIERY COLOR SERVER 64

Print includes users who have print access. Only users whose e-mail addresses are in the Print
address book are authorized to submit jobs via e-mail to the Fiery Color Server. Unauthorized
users receive an e-mail reply that their job was not accepted by the Fiery Color Server for
printing.

User includes users who have scanning access.

Fax is used for Scan to Internet FAX. This address book is used for sending scan files via
Internet FAX to the Fiery Color Server. You cannot use addresses in the address book to send
an e-mail to the Fiery Color Server.

Corporate is an LDAP address book used for Scan to E-mail. It allows users to send files with
Remote Scan to a list of addresses registered on an LDAP server.

N OTE : Perform LDAP Setup before setting this address book. For more information, see
page 44.

When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the Fiery Color Server first checks the Print address
book. If the users e-mail address does not match any entry in the Print address book, the job
does not print. Instead, the user receives an e-mail stating that the print job was not accepted.

The default wildcard character @ is stored in the Print address book. This allows any user to
print to the Fiery Color Server until the administrator adds the first entry in the Print address
book.

To manage address books, send an e-mail to the Fiery Color Server with commands in the
Subject and Message fields. The Fiery Color Server responds by e-mail with information
about each request, as described in the following table.

To add or remove more than one address at a time, list the addresses on separate lines in the
message field of the e-mail.

 ADMINISTERING THE FIERY COLOR SERVER 67

Maintaining optimal Fiery Color Server performance

The Fiery Color Server does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of
servicing and maintaining the copier and replenishing consumables, you can improve the
overall performance of your system by doing the following:
Make the best use of your network connections.

Publish only connections that will be used. The Fiery Color Server constantly checks all
published connections, even if they are inactive.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate the
connections that are not being used. It is easy to re-establish them when needed.
Leave less urgent jobs to times when there is less network traffic or printing.

You can print recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent to the Hold queue.
At low-traffic times, the administrator or a user of the job management tools with Operator
privileges can move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs to the Print queue for printing.
Reduce unnecessary network communication.

Large numbers of users running Fiery utilities, especially with frequent updates, may have a
significant effect on Fiery Color Server performance.
Make sure you have adequate disk space on the Fiery Color Server.

Periodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue, and the number of jobs being retained
in the Printed queue.
An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed queue and Hold queue.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the Fiery Color Server is
frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue and choose not to publish the Hold queue
(in Printer Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use the job management tools. When you free up disk space
by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.
 ADMINISTERING THE FIERY COLOR SERVER 68

Shutting down, rebooting, and restarting the Fiery Color Server

Generally, you can leave the Fiery Color Server and the copier running all the time. This
section describes how to shut down, reboot, and restart the Fiery Color Server
when necessary.

Shutting down the Fiery Color Server

When you need to shut down the Fiery Color Server, fonts downloaded to the Fiery Color
Server are not deleted. Jobs in the Hold and Print queues and jobs that have been processed
but not printed are not deleted and are available for printing when you later turn on the Fiery
Color Server.

TO SHUT DOWN THE FIERY COLOR SERVER FROM THE FIERY COLOR SERVER CONTROL PANEL
1 Make sure that the Fiery Color Server is not receiving, processing, or printing any files.
