3-22 Setting up the Fiery X3 from a Windows Computer

Service Setup (Windows Printing Service)

For setting up the Windows printing service, these characters are allowed in the text

ﬁelds: uppercase letters, numerals, space, and the following characters:

- _ . ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) { } \ ' ,

NOTE: Lowercase letters are not allowed, except in the Comment ﬁeld.

Enable Windows Printing Service—Select to enable SMB (Server Message Block), the

ﬁle and printer sharing protocol built into Windows. Enabling SMB allows the

Fiery X3 to be listed on the network so that Windows clients can print to a particular

print connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the Fiery X3 without any other

networking software. For information on how to set up a Windows client for Windows

printing, see Getting Started.

NOTE: Windows (SMB) printing runs over TCP/IP, so TCP/IP must be conﬁgured on

the Fiery X3 and on workstations that use Windows printing.

NOTE: Be sure the administrator conﬁgures the printer driver defaults before Windows

NT 4.0 clients install the printer driver with Point and Print. The Fiery X3

Administrator name and Password are required during Point and Print installation if

you want to change defaults for the Windows NT 4.0 printer driver.

Server Name—The server name is the name that will appear on the network. It can,

but does not have to, be the same name as the server name assigned to the Fiery X3

(see page 3-2).

Comment—You can enter information about the printer, up to 15 characters. These

comments are listed in the Properties of the Fiery X3 in Network Neighborhood.

Lowercase letters are allowed in this ﬁeld.

Domain or Workgroup—Enter the workgroup or domain where the Fiery X3 should

appear.

Ethernet WINS Server—Enter the IP address of the Ethernet WINS name server.

Broadcasts from SMB devices cannot be routed beyond their original network segment

without a WINS name server. Setting up the WINS name server is outside the scope of

this manual. To ﬁnd out if a name server is available, contact your network

administrator.
