Integrating the E300 into your network
Your service technician ensures that the E300 is correctly installed at your site, the power supply and cooling are
adequate, and the required cables are connected.
Steps to integrate the E300 into your network
This procedure provides an overview of the steps required to integrate the E300 into your network and print
environment.
Warning:
Ensure all cables remain routed to prevent trip hazards and to prevent accidental disconnection or
damage. Ensure that the cables are not compressed, pinched, or bent at a sharp angle. Damaged cables can
result in electric shock to personnel, in addition to faulty operation of the equipment.
Caution:
Use caution and correct ergonomic procedures if it is necessary to lift or move the E300 or connected
equipment.
Note:
As an option, you can configure a Windows computer to act as a print server between the E300 and the client
Windows computers. The client computers then print to the E300 by printing to the print server, and you can
monitor and control printing at the network server.
To configure a Windows print server, install the E300 printer driver on the Windows server, then share the queues
with network users. Make sure that the printer driver is updated as required. For information about configuring a
Windows print server, see the Windows documentation.
1
Review the E300 requirements information to ensure the client computer requirements and other requirements
are met.
2
Confirm the E300 network port (RJ-45 connector) is connected to a live network node.
3
Make sure all the E300 cables are firmly seated.
4
Make sure that the E300 is connected to the network in the same subnet as the printer.
5
Use the Fiery Setup Wizard to perform initial setup of the E300.
Note:
If the settings are reset to factory defaults at any point, the server automatically reboots to identify the
printer model. During this process, the Fiery logo on the printer control panel briefly disappears and reappears.
6
Plan the levels of user access and set up the required accounts.
7
Review the server and network settings and customize as required for compatibility with your network and
printing environment.
Note:
If the local workflow or network environment changes after the E300 set up is complete, we recommend
reviewing the E300 configuration settings again.
