2-3 Fiery EX2101 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003
Configuring a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server to
communicate with the Fiery EX2101
To configure a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server to communicate with the
Fiery EX2101, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent
sections in this chapter and in your Microsoft documentation.
• Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway.
• Enter the host name of the Fiery EX2101 in the host database used by your system
(see
“To add the Fiery EX2101 to a TCP/IP network with a Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003
server” on page 2-4).
• Perform Fiery EX2101 Setup.
• On the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server, create a printer for each Fiery EX2101
print connection, install the appropriate printer drivers, and (optionally) share the
printer on the network (see
“Installing the Fiery EX2101 as a shared printer” on
page 2-5).
• Enter the host name and remote printer name of the Fiery EX2101 in the printer
connection. For more information, see
“Important note about the remote printer
name” on page 2-17.
• If the Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server is also a workstation, install Fiery utilities
(see the
User Software Installation Guide ).
Adding the Fiery EX2101 to the TCP/IP network
If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 servers, and
Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 clients, follow the procedures
in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also see the
procedures in
“Setting up the Fiery EX2101 on TCP/IP networks” on page 2-17.
