If you require users to specify their user name and password (that is, you clear the “Allow
users to print without authentication” option), users must type this information in the printer
driver when they print. Users must specify their user name and password if they create files
from the printer driver for printing later (such as an email attachment that is sent to the EX/i
Print Server).
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that
FTP jobs are authenticated (see Configure > Network > Services > FTP > Require Password
for Printing).
Passwords
When you create a user in Configure > Users and Groups, you can set a password for the user.
Set passwords for the Administrator (default user in the Administrators group) and Operator
(default user in the Operators group) in Configure > Server > Password. You can also set a
password for the Administrator during initial setup with the Fiery Setup Wizard.
The default Administrator and Operator passwords are
Fiery.1
(case-sensitive). It is strongly
recommended that you change passwords periodically to protect the EX/i Print Server from
unauthorized changes.
For more information, see
on page 13, and Configure Help
Operating system passwords
Since the EX Print Server is a Windows-based system, a password for the Windows operating
system is required, which is separate from the Administrator and Operator passwords (see
). There is no operating system password for the EXi Print Server because it is a
Linux-based system.
The default Windows operating system password is
Fiery.1
(case-sensitive). It is strongly
recommended that you change passwords periodically to protect the EX/i Print Server from
unauthorized changes.
Administrator privileges
Users in the Administrators and Operators groups have privileges in addition to the ones that
you set when you create groups. Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of
control. Administrator privileges include
• Configuring the EX/i Print Server from Configure or the printer touch panel
• Adding and deleting groups
• Adding and deleting users
• Setting and changing passwords for users
• Deleting, printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log
• Deleting, viewing, and modifying users’ print jobs
