xi About this manual
This manual is intended for anyone who is responsible for integrating the supplier
E-750 into a business environment that includes networked personal computers. After
setting up the supplier E-750 and client workstations, individual users can print to the
supplier E-750 as a high-performance color printer.
This manual describes how to set up network servers and clients to use the supplier
E-750 and how to install user software and set up printing from Microsoft Windows
and Apple Mac OS computers. For general information on using the color copier, your
computer, your software, or your network, see the manuals that accompany
those products.
NOTE:The term “E-750” is used in this manual to refer to the supplier E-750. The
term “copier/printer” is used to refer to the machine. The term “Windows” is used to
refer to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
and Windows Server 2003, wherever appropriate. “Setup” is used in this manual to
refer to configuring the E-750 for proper performance in your network environment,
including settings that affect all jobs. The administrator can perform Setup from the
Fiery WebSetup, and Command WorkStation.
The E-750 includes support for the Fiery WebTools™and software for
Command WorkStation, which allow an operator to manage all jobs sent to the E-750.
Although it may not be the case at all sites, the documentation for this product
assumes the presence of an operator who controls and manages jobs sent by users
from remote workstations.
Any additional connectivity or administrative features specific to the E-750 are
described in the Printing Guide or the Release Notes.
About this manual
This manual covers the following topics:
• Basic configuration of the E-750 to support printing over AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and
IPX (Novell) networks
• Administering network printing
Introduction
xii Introduction
• Configuring Novell and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers and
UNIX systems to provide E-750 printing services
• Using the E-750 in mixed network environments
NOTE:The network guidelines in this book are not intended to replace the services of
an experienced network engineer.
This manual is organized as follows:
•Chapter 1 illustrates the supported network configurations and shows the network
connectors on the E-750.
•Chapter 2 provides guidelines for setting up Windows network servers and UNIX
systems for printing to the E-750 and for using WebTools.
•Chapter 3 describes how to prepare for E-750 Setup™, including planning system
security through access levels.
•Chapter 4 describes E-750 configuration (Setup) from the Control Panel.
•Chapter 5 describes E-750 Setup from a Windows computer.
•Chapter 6 describes setting up the E-750 for Fiery WebTools.
•Chapter 7 summarizes some administrative features of E-750 software that
are available for IPX/SPX, TCP/IP, and AppleTalk networks, and offers
troubleshooting hints.
•Appendix A describes issues that may occur in setting up the E-750 and
offers solutions.
NOTE:Administrator features described in other manuals are summarized on page 7-1.

1-1 E-750 on the network
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the E-750, and includes diagrams
that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation.
Check those references to find the information you need quickly.
E-750 on the network
When the E-750 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript
printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the E-750 supports the following
network protocols:
• AppleTalk
• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd
protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports
Windows (SMB) printing. The port 9100 is the printer server port number to
publish print connections between the print server and a remote computer. The http
protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets. The
http protocol also supports IPP printing.
• IPX/SPX (Novell)
IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.
These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each
other) are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run
concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print
through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned.
When you add the E-750 to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has
already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

1-2 Connecting to the Network
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
• Physically connecting the E-750 to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the E-750—obtain cable, route it to the location where the
E-750 will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface. For details, see
page 3-8.
• Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the E-750 as a PCL or PostScript printer. For information on
configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see
Chapter 2.
• Setting up the E-750
Configure the E-750 for your particular printing and network environment. First read
Chapter 2, and then see subsequent chapters for details.
• Preparing client workstations for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the
client to the E-750 over the network. These steps are described in the User Software
Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.
• Administering the E-750
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise.
For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.

1-3 Stages of installation on the network
Summary of E-750 network installation
At each computer from which users print to
the E-750:
• Install the appropriate printer files and connect
to one or more queues.
• Install Fiery® utilities and an Internet browser
for those computers that will use them.
• Verify the E-750 in the list of printers and run a
test print.

Configure UNIX, Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server
2003, and IPX (Novell) servers to specify E-750
print queues and E-750 users.
No special configuration of AppleShare servers
is required.

Quick path to installation
The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems you can use to print and run
Fiery software from remote workstations. Find the page with your preferred platform
and network type, and then look up the setup procedures referenced in the “Key to
setup” in the upper-left corner of each diagram.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are
logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology)
of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each
logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star
configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical
networks is beyond the scope of this manual.
If your network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,
combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols
(shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection
from the E-750 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be
operational at the same time.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:
