Configuring a Windows NT 4.0 server to support the Fiery XJ
T
O
ENTER
THE
HOST
NAME
OF
THE
F
IERY
XJ:
1.
On the Windows NT server and on each client computer, navigate to the hosts file that
you use for your network or for your local computer.
The path to a local hosts file is typically
c:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2.
Open the hosts file with any ASCII text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or Edit
(DOS).
3.
Type an entry for the Fiery XJ (IP address and host name) similar to the other entries
in this file.
The Windows NT 4.0
hosts
file provides compatibility with the UNIX
hosts
file. The
hosts
file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same
format as the
/etc/hosts
file on UNIX servers. The format of the hosts entry is:
IP Address<TAB>host name<TAB>#comments
where
<TAB>
indicates that you press the Tab key.
N
OTE
:
Type the entry without any spaces, but substitute the values appropriate for your
environment. It is recommended that the host name be the same name you gave to the
Fiery XJ in the Server Setup on the Control Panel.
A sample entry for the Fiery XJ as the remote computer/printer, in which the host
name of the printer is defined as
Astro
is:
127.0.0.1<TAB>Astro<TAB>#Marketing_printer
To determine the IP Address and Server Name of your system, print a Configuration
page from the Fiery XJ Control Panel (see page 2-44).
N
OTE
:
If the Fiery XJ has already been defined in an
/etc/hosts
file or equivalent host
name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, it is recommended that you
use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the
/
etc/printcap
file.
4.
Save the file as “hosts” and exit the application.
