xii Introduction
Conventions used in Fiery XJ manuals Actions you should perform are shown as numbered steps in bold-faced type, followed by a brief explanation if needed. For example:
1. Choose Options in the Print dialog box.
Special options for your printer are available if you have installed the PostScript Level 2 driver and the PPD for your printer.
A special font indicates text you should type or keys you should press. For example:
At the NetWare 4.x drive prompt, type:
rconsole
The special font is also used to highlight options that appear in Fiery XJ setup menus. For example:
This option appears only if Enable Parallel Port is set to Yes.
The initial letters of menu options and Control Panel setups are uppercase. Filenames and settings are listed in the special font only if it is hard to distinguish them from sur- rounding text.
Occasionally you will be referred to other Fiery XJ manuals, whose titles will be shown in italics. For example, see Getting Started.

1-1 Fiery XJ on the network
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up a Fiery XJ, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. If you check those references, you should be able to nd the information you need quickly.
Fiery XJ on the network When the Fiery XJ is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery XJ supports three network protocols: AppleTalk, the lpd protocol of TCP/IP, and IPX (Novell). These three protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) are supported on the Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or they can print to the Fiery XJ parallel port. A Token Ring option is also available on some systems. The Fiery XJ is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.
When you add a Fiery XJ to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and serv- ers, and perhaps one or more printers.
Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

1-2 Fiery XJ on the network
Stages of installation on the network Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:
Physically connecting the Fiery XJ to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the Fiery XJobtain cable and route it to the location where the Fiery XJ will be installed (near the copier), and attach the cable to the net- work interface of the Fiery XJ. See page 1-11 for details.
Conguring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to congure those servers to provide cli- ent access to the Fiery XJ as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 3 for conguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.
Fiery XJ Setup
Congure the Fiery XJ for your particular printing and network environment. See Chapter 2 for details.
Client setup
Install the les needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the network. These steps are described in Getting Started, and some informa- tion is provided in Chapter 3 of this manual.
Job administration
You can track and manage print jobs when networked users print to the Fiery XJ. See Chapter 4 for details.
11-3 Fiery XJ on the network
Summary of Fiery XJ network installation
COLOR SERVER SETUP In the Fiery XJ Control Panel Setup, choose Server Setup, Network Setup, Printer Setup and Job Log Setup. Set up the Fiery XJ for all active protocols.
Congure UNIX, Windows NT and IPX (Novell) servers to specify Fiery XJ print queues and Fiery XJ users.
Install Fiery XJ remote utilities on the server and make installation disks for client installations.
No special conguration of AppleShare servers is required.
SERVER CONFIGURATION
Prepare a network node. Connect the Fiery XJ to the copier and to the network.
CLIENT SETUP At each workstation that will print to the Fiery XJ:
Install the PostScript Level 2 printer driver and the Fiery XJ PostScript printer description le (PPD), and connect to one or more queues.
For computers that will use them, install Fiery XJ remote utilities and optional user software.
Verify the Fiery XJ in the list of printers and run a test print.

11-4 Fiery XJ on the network
Quick path to installation The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and for using the Fiery XJ utilities. To use the diagrams, nd the page with your preferred platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages and books referred to in the keys.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology) of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star conguration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical networks is beyond the scope of this manual.
If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation, combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Note that multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the Fiery XJ with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

Before you begin The following steps should be completed before you congure the Fiery XJ and the workstations that will print to the Fiery XJ. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.
TO PREPARE FOR FIERY XJ INSTALLATION:
1. Make a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally.
2. Shut down the copier and connect the interface cable from the copier to the Fiery XJ.
3. Connect the network cable to the Fiery XJ, as described in the next section.
An Ethernet network should already be installed and operational.
4. Turn on the copier and the Fiery XJ.
5. Prepare network servers to share Fiery XJ user software and to enable networked users to print to the Fiery XJ, and proceed to Setup.
See Chapters 2 and 3 for details.
Ethernet cable connection The Fiery XJ supports Ethernet cabling of three types:
Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 2)
Uses an external transceiver (media attachment unit, or MAU) to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.
Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 5)
Cable connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the Fiery XJ.
Twisted pair (unshielded twisted pair cable or 10Base-T)
Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Fiery XJ.
The Ethernet connectors lead to the Ethernet network adapter chip built into the main logic board of the Fiery XJ.

Shut down the Fiery XJ before connecting it to any network device.
NOTE: Do not attach the cable to more than one Ethernet connector on the Fiery XJ at one time.
If the multiple device option is installed, youll have a cable connected to both copier connector slots. A single device is connected to the lower of the two slots (slot 1). If you have two copiers installed, be sure you never switch a copier cable from one con- nector to the other. The multiple device option is not available for all models.

2. Congure network servers for printing and then proceed to Setup.
Parallel cable connection In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the Fiery XJ can accept print jobs from a PC-compatible computer or server through its high-speed parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX.
The parallel port connection is active at the same time as the Ethernet port.
TO USE PARALLEL CABLE:
1. With the Fiery XJ and a PC-compatible computer or server turned off, attach the Cen- tronics-type parallel cable to the parallel port of the Fiery XJ.
The parallel port is the top connector on the back of the Fiery XJ.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the PC.
3. Turn on the computer and the Fiery XJ.
4. Proceed to Setup.
To print to the parallel port, you will need to set up the parallel port connection. See Parallel Port Setup options on page 2-21. For information on setting up printing, see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the User Guide.
