4-5 Fiery X3 on a NetWare 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x network
The Fiery X3 can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet. During
Fiery X3 setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication
between the Fiery X3 and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a
communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the NetWare
server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.
Tips for experts—IPX networks
Setting up the Fiery X3 is similar to setting up another printer on the network. The
following information is all that experienced network administrators need.
The Fiery X3 with IPX connections has these characteristics:
• Both NetWare 3.x and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also
supported through bindery emulation.
•A minimum connection to the Fiery X3 consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare
print server, and a NetWare queue.
•A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be
configured simultaneously.
• The Fiery X3 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.
• Each print server can store jobs for any queue on the Fiery X3.
