CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 9

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery X3eTY.

Fiery X3eTY on the networkWhen the Fiery X3eTY is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PCL (Printer Control Language) or PS (PostScript) printer. The Fiery X3eTY 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, IPP, IPv4, IPv6, LDAP, LPD, NBT, POP3, Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, and SSL/TLS 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. The Fiery X3eTY is auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.


Stages of installation on the networkInstallation 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 X3eTY as a networked printer. For information about configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments as they relate specifically to the Fiery X3eTY, see page 12. For information about using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network system.

2 Physically connecting the Fiery X3eTY to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the Fiery X3eTY. Obtain cable, route it to the location where the Fiery X3eTY is to be installed (near the copier/printer), and attach the cable to the network connector of the Fiery X3eTY. For details, see page 20.

3 Setting up the Fiery X3eTY

Configure the Fiery X3eTY for your printing and network environment (see Setting up the Fiery X3eTY from the copier touch panel).

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 X3eTY

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise (see Administering the Fiery X3eTY).

• 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 X3eTY in the list of printers.


Network server setup requirementsThis section provides basic information about configuring the Fiery X3eTY and using it on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information specific to the Fiery X3eTY 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 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 X3eTY network settings in Setup. This allows the Fiery X3eTY to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever you change the configuration of the Fiery X3eTY, copier/printer, 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 X3eTY 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 X3eTY name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.

If more than one Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY 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 X3eTY to a domain. If you assign the Fiery X3eTY to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.


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 system.

• You can configure a single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers simultaneously.

• The Fiery X3eTY looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

NetWare file 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.

To the end of the NetWare queue names, append one of the following suffixes that corresponds to the Fiery X3eTY print connection, as follows:

_print_hold_direct

NOTE: These suffixes 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 X3eTY after you create or remove a queue that will be connected to the print server used by the Fiery X3eTY.

When the Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY. For example, jobs from the NetWare queue with the _print suffix are sent to the Fiery X3eTY Print queue.

• You can connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery X3eTY.

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 X3eTY.


AppleTalk networks

AppleShare servers require no special configuration.

UNIX networks• When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the Fiery X3eTY

over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Fiery X3eTY.

• 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 X3eTY is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.

• The Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY must be one of the following:

printholddirect

Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Fiery X3eTY 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 X3ETY SETUP 15

PREPARING FOR FIERY X3ETY SETUP

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY 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 controlWhen you configure the Fiery X3eTY during Setup, you (as system administrator) implement a particular level of control by configuring these elements:

• Users and Groups

• Print connections

• Access to WebTools

Users and Groups

With the Configure WebTool, you create users, assign passwords, create groups with particular privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default, and you can create new groups. All the 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 organization’s global address list if you enable LDAP services on the Fiery X3eTY. For more information, see Configure Help.

NOTE: You cannot enable Fiery X3eTY authentication and copier/printer authentication at the same time.

Passwords

When you create new users, you assign passwords to them. In addition, you can also set passwords for these areas:

• Default admin user in Administrators group

• Default operator user in Operators group

By default, the default Administrator password is set on the Fiery X3eTY. Change the Administrator password periodically to protect the Fiery X3eTY from random or accidental changes to Setup. For more information, see “Setting passwords” on page 69.


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 follow.

Administrator privileges

Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges include:

• Configuring the Fiery X3eTY from the Configure WebTool or from the Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY of all job data

• 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 X3eTY

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 on 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 X3eTY state.


Fiery X3eTY print connections

The Fiery X3eTY 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 remote users more direct access to the Fiery X3eTY 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. To reprint jobs in the Printed queue, use the job management tools.

NOTE: 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 X3eTY hard disk for printing at a later time, or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to this queue cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job management tools.

Print queue

The Print queue is the standard Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY, but only when the Fiery X3eTY is Idle. If the Fiery X3eTY is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until the Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY 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 X3eTY, you must publish the Direct connection.


WebTools

The Fiery X3eTY supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable the use of WebTools, see “Configuring WebTools” on page 66.

Home

Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the Fiery X3eTY. 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 X3eTY. 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 X3eTY, and submit jobs to the Fiery X3eTY. For more information, see Docs Help.

Configure

Configure allows you to view and modify Fiery X3eTY options from a network computer. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see Setting up the Fiery X3eTY from a network computer.


Additional security featuresIn addition to traditional security features, such as passwords, you can use these features to keep the Fiery X3eTY secure:

• E-mail access

• IP addresses and ports

• Secure Printing

Controlling E-mail access to the Fiery X3eTY

Because you can allow users to print files that are attachments sent to the Fiery X3eTY as e-mail, the Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY. Because file types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the Fiery X3eTY does not process these file types. The Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY. Any e-mail that the Fiery X3eTY receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted. For more information, see page 75.

Restricting IP addresses and ports

To restrict unauthorized connections to the Fiery X3eTY, you can permit only users whose IP 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 X3eTY.

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/printer to print the job. For more information, see Print Options.


Connecting network cable to the Fiery X3eTYThis section includes an illustration of the Fiery X3eTY back panel, and provides information about connecting the Fiery X3eTY to the network.

About SetupSetup configures the Fiery X3eTY to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs. Perform Setup the first time you turn on the Fiery X3eTY after new system software is loaded, or any time Server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup using default settings is adequate to allow users to print to the Fiery X3eTY and use WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, change the options accordingly.

NOTE: You cannot access Setup functions from Command WorkStation, Macintosh Edition.

Setup from the copier touch panel

The first time you perform Setup, you must use the copier touch panel. Configure, at a minimum, Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer Setup, in that sequence. After the initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the copier touch panel (page 23) or a network computer (page 60). Most Setup options can be set using either of these methods.

NOTE: Some Setup menus, such as for Color Setup, are available only from the copier touch panel. Use the appropriate Setup method for the options.

If you do not configure the remaining Setup menus, the Fiery X3eTY uses default settings. Make sure that the settings are appropriate for your printing environment.

Setup from a network computer

Remote Setup

Remote Setup is the Setup method from a computer on the network using either the Configure WebTool or Command WorkStation, Windows Edition.

SETTING UP THE FIERY X3ETY FROM THE COPIER TOUCH PANEL 22

Option Settings(default is underlined)

Description

Allow Courier Substitution

Yes, No Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are unavailable when you download files to the Fiery X3eTY, 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 X3eTY 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.

Append CR to LF Yes, No Specify whether to append a carriage return to each line feed.

Black Overprint Off, Text, Text/Graphics 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 Normal, Pure Black On, Rich Black On

Optimizes black text and line art. The option also minimizes toner use for documents consisting of both color and black-only pages.

Select Pure Black On to print black text and graphics as a one-color black, using black toner only.

Select Rich Black On to print black text and graphics as a richer black by layering a small amount of cyan toner underneath the black toner.

Select Normal to print black text and graphics as a four-color black, using C, M, Y, and K toners, and to use normal PostScript rendering.

For more information, see Color Printing.


CMYK Simulation Method

Quick, Full (Source GCR), Full (Output GCR)

Quick simulation assumes that the copier/printer 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.

CMYK Simulation Profile SWOP-Coated (EFI), DIC (EFI), Euroscale (EFI), ISO Coated, None(default is SWOP-Coated (EFI) in North America, Euroscale (EFI) elsewhere)

CMYK simulation allows color correction to simulate printed output on a commercial press, so that the Fiery X3eTY 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. The simulations provided with the Fiery X3eTY have the designation “EFI” after their names.

If users create and load custom simulations on the Fiery X3eTY with ColorWise Pro Tools, these also appear in the list of simulations. A custom simulation can be selected as the default simulation. For more information about custom simulations, see Color Printing.

Color Mode CMYK, Grayscale Specify whether to print color (CMYK) or Grayscale images to the Fiery X3eTY by default. CMYK gives you full color prints. Select CMYK as the Color Mode before performing calibration on the Fiery X3eTY. Grayscale converts all colors into shades of gray.

Convert Paper Sizes No, Letter/Tabloid->A4/A3, A4/A3->Letter/Tabloid

Converts paper sizes in documents automatically to the default paper sizes specified. For example, if you select Letter/11x17->A4/A3, a letter size document is automatically printed on A4 paper.

This option works in conjunction with the Default Paper Sizes option. For example, if Convert Paper Sizes is set to Letter/11x17->A4/A3, and Default Paper Sizes is set to US, jobs are printed A4/A3 size. This also includes Fiery X3eTY system pages such as the Start Page, Test Page, and Job Log.

Default Orientation Portrait, Landscape This PCL option determines whether text or an image is oriented along the short edge of the paper (Portrait) or the long edge of the paper (Landscape).

Default Paper Sizes US, Metric (default is US in the United States, Metric elsewhere)

Prints on US paper sizes (for example, Letter, Legal, 11x17), or Metric paper sizes (for example, A4 or A3) by default. When no page size is defined within a PostScript file, jobs are printed on Letter paper if you select US, or A4 paper if you select Metric.


Description


Edge Enhancement On, Off Specify whether to enable or disable the tag bit.

Select On to enhance the sharpness of the edge of halftone/gray text and vector graphic. You may see halo effects which are caused by the interference of dots when you print some types of images. If this occurs, select Off, and the edge of black/high-density text and vector graphic retain sharpness.

This option is not supported for PCL.

Font Number 0-999 Designates the default font for the Fiery X3eTY. To determine font numbers, print the internal PCL Font List. The standard fonts are listed in order. The font numbers, however, are not displayed.

Font Pitch (char/in) 0.44-99.99 (default is 10.00) If the default PCL font selected in Font Number represents a fixed pitch scalable font, determine the width of scalable type. Pitch is measured by characters per inch, so 10-pitch type fits 10 characters per inch.

Font Size (pt) 4.0-999.75 (default is 12.00) If the default PCL font selected in Font Number represents a proportionally spaced scalable font, determine the point size (height) of the font.

Font Source Internal, Soft Font Specify the PCL font source to be enabled.

Form Length (lines) 5-128 (default is 60) Sets the number of lines to be printed per page in PCL jobs.

Image Quality Best, Normal Specify the type of image quality to be used as the Fiery X3eTY default. If you select Best, image quality improves, but processing time may be longer and the size of the processed job may be larger.

Output Profile Default profile Specify the default output profile to use for printing. Additional profiles can be created and downloaded to the Fiery X3eTY with ColorWise Pro Tools.

Paper Size for System Pages

US, Metric (default is US in the United States, Metric elsewhere)

Specify the paper size that PCL system pages print on. System pages are pages that you print from the copier touch panel, such as the PCL Font List.

Print Cover Page Yes, No Prints a cover page (job summary) at the end of each print job. If you select Yes, each print job is followed by a page containing the name of the user who sent the job, the document name, the server name, the time the job was printed, the number of pages printed, and the status of the job. If a PostScript error occurs and the Print to PS Error option is set to Yes, the cover page lists the PostScript error message instead of the job status.

Print Gray Using Black Only (CMYK)

Off, Text/Graphics, Text/Graphics/Images

Prints gray in an CMYK job as pure black. Specify the items of the job that you want to print as black only.

Print Gray Using Black Only (RGB)

Off, Text/Graphics, Text/Graphics/Images

Prints gray in an RGB job as pure black. Specify the items of the job that you want to print as black only.


Description


Print Master On, Off Select On to print a FreeForm master when created and printed to the Fiery X3eTY. The master is retained on the Fiery X3eTY after printing unless deleted later. Select Off only to process and hold a FreeForm master on the Fiery X3eTY.

Print to PS Error Yes, No Specify whether the Fiery X3eTY should print the available portion of a print job when it encounters a PostScript error. Select Yes to print the portion of the job that was processed before the error occurred; select No to cancel the print job entirely when a PostScript error is encountered. Select No unless you encounter printing problems.

Rendering Style Photographic, Presentation, Abs. Colorimetric, Rel. Colorimetric

The color rendering dictionary (CRD) defines how colors are converted from the RGB color space to device CMYK. Photographic, designed for images, retains the relative balance between colors to maintain the overall appearance of the image. Presentation, designed for bright colors, produces the saturated prints needed for most business presentations, but handles photographic images the same way as the Photographic CRD. Absolute Colorimetric provides the closest match to the CMYK device being simulated, including rendering the paper color as the background. Relative Colorimetric provides a close match to the CMYK device being simulated, regardless of the media used.

RGB Separation Output, Simulation Defines how the Fiery X3eTY processes RGB jobs. Select Output for RGB jobs that you print to the final output device. Select Simulation to simulate an output device that is not the device to which you are printing.

RGB Source Profile EFIRGB, sRGB (PC), Apple Standard, Adobe RGB(1998), None

The RGB source is the color space used to control color for conversion from monitor to printed output. EFIRGB is based on the reference points used in the creation of the Fiery X3eTY software. sRGB is based on an average of a large number of PC monitors. Apple Standard is the standard reference point for Apple’s ColorSync software.

Scale to Fit On, Off Specify whether to scale a document size to a selected paper size if the document size is different from the paper size. With the Off setting, if the document size is larger than the selected paper size, the document is cropped to the paper size when printed.

Spot Color Matching On, Off Select On, and the Fiery X3eTY uses an internal lookup table to print the best equivalents of PANTONE colors. Select Off, and PANTONE colors are printed using the CMYK values defined in the original applications. For more information, see Color Printing.

Passwords from a network computer

You can change the Administrator and Operator passwords from remote Setup, using the Configure WebTool or Command WorkStation, Windows Edition. For more information, see Configure Help.


Updating system softwareThe Fiery X3eTY uses unique system software to receive and process jobs and send job data to the copier/printer. Resident on the Fiery X3eTY, system software processes and controls the spooling, rasterizing, and printing of jobs, as well as job accounting (the Job Log), storage, and retrieval.

You can check for system software updates from a secure site on the Internet. Updates to user software may also be available.

To check for software updates or configure the Fiery X3eTY to receive updates automatically, use remote Setup. For more information about remote Setup applications, see “Remote Setup” on page 60.

Configuring the Job Log from the copier touch panelThe Job Log is a record of all jobs processed or printed on the Fiery X3eTY, whether they originate from a user workstation, a network server, or the Fiery X3eTY. 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.

Default values for the following options, where applicable, appear in square brackets.

TO SET JOB LOG OPTIONS FROM THE FIERY X3ETY COPIER TOUCH PANEL

1 Choose Job Log Setup from the main Setup menu.

2 Enter the options, as described in the following section.

3 After you finish entering options, save changes.

Auto Print Job Log Every 55 JobsYes/No [No]

Specify whether the Fiery X3eTY prints the Job Log after every 55 jobs. Setting the Job Log for automatic printing is useful if accounting for each printed page is important at your site.

Auto Clear Job Log Every 55 JobsYes/No [No]

Specify whether to clear the Job Log after every 55 jobs. If you do not enable this option, and do not clear the Job Log from the Fiery X3eTY or from a remote workstation, the Fiery X3eTY saves a record of all jobs.

NOTE: If Auto Print Job Log is set to No, selecting Yes has no effect.


Job Log Page SizeTabloid/A3 Letter/A4 [Letter/A4]

Select the paper size for printing the Job Log. Regardless of page size, 55 jobs are listed on a page. The paper size used depends on the Default Paper Sizes setting in PS Setup. If the Default Paper Sizes setting is US, the Job Log is printed on 11x17 or Letter-size paper.

Secure Job LogYes/No [Yes]

Select Yes to print or delete the Job Log with the Administrator password.

Enable Mixed Media Reporting in Job LogYes/No [Yes]

Select Yes to print the Job Log for Mixed Media jobs.


Select Yes to activate any changes made in Job Log Setup. Select No to return to the main Setup menu without making any changes.


Clearing the Fiery X3eTYThe Clear Server command allows you to clear all queued print jobs from the Fiery X3eTY Print, Hold, and Printed queues. You can also delete jobs individually or as a group using Command WorkStation. Clear Server also clears all jobs archived on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk, the index of archived jobs, and all FreeForm masters.

TO CLEAR THE FIERY X3ETY

• In Command WorkStation, choose Clear Server from the Server menu.

For more information, see Command WorkStation Help.

Be sure to back up your original data on your own media at the same time you store and save data on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk. Never damage or reset the Fiery X3eTY hard disk, and do not turn off the system while accessing the hard disk. For instructions on how to turn on and turn off the Fiery X3eTY, see page 80.

If the Fiery X3eTY hard disk or system software experiences technical difficulties, data stored and saved on the Fiery X3eTY hard disk may be irretrievably lost. If problems with the hard disk occur, extended storage of the following data cannot be assured:

• Third-party fonts

• Print jobs

• Color profiles, including profiles downloaded or edited with Spot-On

• Job notes and instructions

• Scanned image data

• Jobs edited with Impose

• Variable data documents

• E-mail Service Address Book

• Fiery X3eTY configuration information (list of all the settings in effect for the current Setup)


Restoring Fiery X3eTY settingsYou can restore the Fiery X3eTY to default settings or to a group of settings that you have already saved.

Restoring the Fiery X3eTY to default settings

When you restore the Fiery X3eTY to its default settings, all queued jobs from the Fiery X3eTY and the Job Log are cleared. You must perform Setup again because the Fiery X3eTY is restored with default settings.

Saving and restoring Fiery X3eTY configuration

You can save the current configuration of the Fiery X3eTY and restore it later, if necessary. The following settings are saved (if your Fiery X3eTY supports them):

• Settings made in Setup (except Server Name)

• Impose templates saved in the default directory for these files on the Fiery X3eTY

• Address books

• Virtual Printer settings

• Users and Groups information (login names and passwords)

• Custom spot colors

To save and restore settings, use remote Setup. For information, see Configure Help.


USB printingUsers can save printable files to the optional USB drive and print those files on the Fiery X3eTY using Command WorkStation. To print files automatically when you connect the USB drive to the Fiery X3eTY, save the files to specific folders on the USB drive.

TO SET UP THE USB DRIVE AND PRINT FILES

1 Configure the USB printing options in Setup (see page 31).

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

3 Save the files from the user’s computer (PS, EPS, PCL, TIFF, and PDF) to the USB drive.

Files copied to the Print, Hold, and Direct folders are downloaded to the corresponding print connection on the Fiery X3eTY automatically when you connect the USB drive to the Fiery X3eTY. For information about enabling print connections, see page 57.

4 Remove the USB drive from the user’s computer and connect it to the USB port on the Fiery X3eTY.

For the location of the USB port, see page 20.

5 To print files that were copied to the USB drive, but not to the Print, Hold, or Direct folders, use Command WorkStation to print the files to the Fiery X3eTY.

For information about downloading files, see Utilities.


Managing e-mail address booksThe E-mail Service feature allows you to import a list of e-mail/Internet Fax addresses to the Fiery X3eTY. To import the list of addresses, you send e-mail messages in a particular format to the Fiery X3eTY.

The list will be added to the address books. Users use the address books to send attachment files to a particular e-mail/Internet Fax address, and the administrator uses the address books to control access to E-mail Services.

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

The Fiery X3eTY supports the following address books:

Admin includes users with administrative access. Administrative access allows you to modify the address book, get the current address book from the Fiery X3eTY, and cancel or status any print job.

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 X3eTY. Unauthorized users receive an e-mail reply that their job was not accepted by the Fiery X3eTY 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 X3eTY. You cannot send an e-mail to the Fiery X3eTY.

E-mail Service also allows the administrator to overwrite the address book, add new addresses, remove addresses, and retrieve current addresses on the Fiery X3eTY.

When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the Fiery X3eTY first checks the Print address book. If the user’s 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 X3eTY until the administrator adds the first entry in the Print address book.

The administrator can manage the address books by sending an e-mail to the Fiery X3eTY with command codes in the Subject and Message fields. The Fiery X3eTY responds by e-mail to these commands with information about each request. When managing address books, see the following table.

NOTE: 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.

Printing the Configuration pageThe Configuration page lists the settings in effect for the current Setup. After you perform Setup, print a Configuration page to confirm your settings. Post the current Configuration page near the Fiery X3eTY for quick reference. Users need the information on this page, such as the current printer default settings.

TO PRINT THE CONFIGURATION PAGE FROM COMMAND WORKSTATION

1 In Command WorkStation, choose Print Pages from the Server menu.

2 Click Configuration.

3 Click Print.

Maintaining optimal Fiery X3eTY performanceThe Fiery X3eTY does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of servicing and maintaining the copier/printer 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 X3eTY constantly checks all published connections, even if they are inactive. Match the NetWare polling interval and the number of queues or connections to the demand for printing.

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 X3eTY performance.

• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the Fiery X3eTY.

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 X3eTY is frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue (in Server Setup) 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.


Understanding power save considerationsThe Fiery X3eTY power save mode conserves power when the Fiery X3eTY has been inactive for a period of time. The following activities and Setup options prevent the Fiery X3eTY from entering power save mode:

• Connecting to the Fiery X3eTY with Downloader or ColorWise Pro Tools

• Enabling E-Mail Services on the Fiery X3eTY

• Enabling Web Services on the Fiery X3eTY (enabled by default)

• Enabling the Fiery X3eTY to accept jobs from NetWare servers (PServer Setup)

In these cases, users can continue to connect to the Fiery X3eTY and print jobs.

If the Fiery X3eTY is already in power save mode, certain Fiery X3eTY utilities and jobs printed from certain types of network connections may prevent the Fiery X3eTY from immediately exiting power save mode, and causes a short delay in connecting to the Fiery X3eTY. Connections are made on subsequent retries.

If your network uses a DHCP server, renewing leases for the IP address of the Fiery X3eTY while it is in power save mode is not guaranteed. If the lease for an IP address expires while the Fiery X3eTY is in power save mode, the Fiery X3eTY may not have the proper address, resulting in jobs that may not successfully reach the Fiery X3eTY.


Shutting down, rebooting, and restarting the Fiery X3eTYGenerally, you can leave the Fiery X3eTY and the copier/printer running all the time. This section describes how to shut down, reboot, and restart the Fiery X3eTY when necessary.

Shutting down the Fiery X3eTY

When you must shut down the Fiery X3eTY, fonts downloaded to the Fiery X3eTY 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 reboot or restart the Fiery X3eTY.

TO SHUT DOWN THE FIERY X3ETY
