1-2 Connecting to 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 X3 to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the Fiery X3—obtain cable and route it to the location

where the Fiery X3 will be installed (near the copier), and attach the cable to the

network interface of the Fiery X3. See page 1-11 for details.

• Conﬁguring network servers

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide

client access to the Fiery X3 as a PostScript or PCL printer. See Chapter 4 for

information on conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network

environments.

• Fiery X3 Setup

Conﬁgure the Fiery X3 for your particular printing and network environment. See

Chapter 2 for details.

• Client setup

Install the ﬁles needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the

client to the Fiery X3 over the network. These steps are described in Getting Started,

and some information is provided in Chapter 4 of this manual.

•System administration

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See

Chapter 5 for details.
