System requirements
We strongly recommend that you review all system requirements before you set up the Fiery ES.
Ethernet connection
For Ethernet connections, the Fiery ES supports Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling for certain network speeds.
The following network speeds are supported:
•
10BaseT: Category 3 or later
•
100BaseTX: Category 5 or later (4
‑
pair/8
‑
wire, short
‑
length)
•
1000BaseT: Category 5e or later (4
‑
pair/8
‑
wire, short

Network requirements
When the Fiery ES is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer. Connecting to a live network allows
the Fiery ES to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Supported network protocols
The Fiery ES is compatible with multiple network protocols. Client computers that do not have any of the
compatible protocols can send print jobs through a print server that has a supported protocol.
The Fiery ES can process concurrent protocols over the same connection. It automatically switches to the correct
protocol and handles connections simultaneously.
The Fiery ES supports TCP/IP and UDP/IP (IPv4 or IPv6), including:
•
Bonjour
Note:
Bonjour allows the Fiery ES to act as a Bonjour printer when communicating with Mac computers.
•
DHCP
•
FTP
•
HTTP
•
IMAP
•
IPP
•
LDAP
