2-1 E-750 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network
servers—Novell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers—
that share printing to the E-750. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or
TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the E-750. In addition, it includes
guidelines for setting up direct communication from
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations or UNIX workstations, where a
network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for users to
print to the E-750 and run Fiery utilities and WebTools.
The E-750 can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare,
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent
directly from Windows or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no
special configuration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 environment (see
“E-750 on a TCP/IP
network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003” in the following section).
If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, proceed to the
following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to
page 2-17 .
E-750 on a TCP/IP network with
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computer is configured to connect
to the E-750 using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the E-750. If the computer shares
the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows clients. Client
computers print to the E-750 by printing to the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003
print server. You can then monitor and control printing at the
Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server computer.
