Introduction
Passwords
You can implement password requirements as a means of controlling access to Fiery X2
functions. The Fiery X2 allows for the following passwords to be set:
• Administrator—from the Control Panel or from WebSetup
• Operator—from only WebSetup

:
By default,
no
passwords are set on the Fiery X2. If you do not specifically set
passwords, all users will have administrator privileges, which include access to impor-
tant functions such as Setup (including setting passwords), calibration, and job con-
trol. It is
strongly recommended
that you set
at least
an Administrator password to
protect the server from random or accidental changes to Setup.
Administrator password privileges
Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control,
since the person who has access to Setup can control the printing and job management
environment. Administrator privileges include publishing print connections, setting
passwords, deleting fonts, and clearing the server of all job data.
Operator password privileges
Operator control includes control of print jobs from Fiery Spooler or
Fiery WebSpooler (including the ability to override job settings).
Guest privileges (No password)
No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from Fiery Spooler or
Fiery WebSpooler. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes
to jobs or to the server’s state.
Fiery WebTools
The Fiery X2 can support Internet or intranet access with Fiery WebTools from
Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, and Mac OS computers. To enable use of
Fiery WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:
• Set Enable TCP/IP to Yes.
• Set an IP address for the Fiery X2.
• Set a subnet mask.
