Setting up Network Servers
Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0 using TCP/IP protocols is similar in some
respects to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network
connections are made from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, note the following:
•
Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X2 and for any workstations that
will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.
•
In Fiery X2 Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup>Ethernet Setup (or Token
Ring Setup), enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address for the Fiery X2. Also enter the
Subnet mask and Gateway address.
•
Make sure your Fiery X2 name and address are listed in a domain name services (DNS)
or hosts name database used by your system.
•
Make sure your system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery X2
as a remote printer. See page 4-27 for more information.
•
For Windows NT 4.0, install the Fiery X2 PostScript printer description on the
Windows NT 4.0 server (see Getting Started).
The Windows NT 4.0 PostScript printer driver is automatically installed with
Windows NT 4.0. The Fiery X2 PostScript printer description is provided on the User
Software CD.
•
Repeat the installation for everyone who prints to the Fiery X2.
Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the
TCP/IP protocol and the utility software.
The Installer installs a blank configuration (Efinl.ini) file. When you run a utility for
the first time, you enter information that is used to configure the Efinl.ini file
automatically. See Getting Started for more information.
