3-1 About Fiery Setup

Setup is required the ﬁrst time the Fiery is turned on after new system software is

loaded. In this initial Setup, you (or the service technician who loads the software)

choose the language you want to use for Fiery Control Panel menus and messages.

About Fiery Setup

In initial Setup, you must conﬁgure at least Server Setup, Network Setup, and Printer

Setup, in that order, from the Control Panel. If you don’t conﬁgure the remaining

Setups, the Fiery uses default settings. These defaults allow the Fiery to reach the Idle

state, but might not allow users to print to the Fiery. You need to make settings

appropriate for the printing environment at your site.

Making changes to Setup

After initial Setup, you can change Setup options from the Control Panel (page 3-2),

Fiery Server Setup (a Windows NT 4.0 application), Fiery WebSetup, or the

Command WorkStation (page 4-3). Most Setup options can be set from any of these

methods.

NOTE: Conﬁguring and monitoring the Windows NT 4.0 functions on the Fiery

require the Fiery Advanced Controller Interface option. For more information, contact

your authorized service/support technician.

Network server setup requirements

For Novell and Windows NT 4.0 (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must

be conﬁgured for printing to the Fiery before you conﬁgure Fiery network settings in

Setup. You need a live network connection so the Fiery can query the network for

zones, servers, and server-based queues. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-9 give

chapter references for network server setup.

You must configure the Fiery with the correct Windows NT domain name. This is

especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing. For Fiery

systems that include the Fiery Advanced Controller option, open the Start Menu >

Settings > Network > Identification tab, and enter the correct domain name. You must

also check “Create a Computer Account in the Domain”, and enter the user name and

password of a user that can add workstations to the specified domain.
