2-2 Setting up Network Servers
Typical system combinations are:
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server; clients running
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP Workstation and Windows 9x/Me
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 Workstation and clients
running Windows 9x/Me
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools from a
Windows computer.
Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up
UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from
Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 workstations, note the following:
• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery EX2101 and any workstations that
will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.
• In Fiery EX2101 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address for the Fiery EX2101.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them
dynamically. Make sure the Fiery EX2101 name and address are listed in a domain
name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system. Otherwise, make sure
the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery EX2101 as a
remote printer. For more information, see
“Important note about the remote printer
name” on page 2-17.
• For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver files (PCL or PostScript) on the
Windows NT 4.0/2000/2003 server.
For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide .
• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery EX2101.
Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the
TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.
