1-13 Parallel cable connection
Shut down the copier before attaching the Fiery X3 to any network device. Do not
attach cables to more than one Ethernet connector; only one Ethernet connection can
be made at any one time.
TO USE UTP CABLE FOR 100BASET OR 10BASET
1. With the Fiery X3 turned off, connect the RJ-45 cable connector to the RJ-45 socket
on the back of the Fiery X3.
2. Configure network servers for printing and then proceed to Setup.
Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet, the Fiery X3 can accept print jobs
from a Windows computer 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 can be active at the same time as the network ports.
TO USE PARALLEL CABLE
1. With the Fiery X3 and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to
the parallel port of the Fiery X3.
See the illustration on page 1-12 for the location of the parallel port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.
3. Turn on the computer and the Fiery X3.
4. Proceed to Setup.
To print to the parallel port, you need to set up the parallel port connection (see
“Parallel Port Setup options” on page 2-13). For information on setting up printing,
see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the Printing Guide.
