Setting up Network Servers
Setting up the Fiery XJ on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery XJ, must have a
unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to
obtain an address for the Fiery XJ. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print
directly to the Fiery XJ as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0 server or
UNIX workstation acting as a print server.

XJ:
1.
A superuser (with root login) must add the Fiery XJ to the network’s IP host table or
other system database of network printers.
2.
In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print
server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the Fiery XJ name you assigned.
3.
Make the Fiery XJ available as a printer to other network users.
4.
To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any
computer on the network, at the command prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
Type the Fiery XJ IP address assigned in Fiery XJ Network Setup.
After the Fiery XJ is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave
to the Fiery XJ:
ping <hostname>
