Setting up Network Servers
Fiery X4 on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0
When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is configured to connect to the Fiery X4 using
TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery X4. If the computer shares the printer over
the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0 clients. Client machines
print to the Fiery X4 by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server. Printing can
then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT 4.0 server machine.

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools
from a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98 computer.
from a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98 computer.
The Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the
Fiery X4 as an alternative to TCP/IP. When creating a printer to share with AppleTalk
users, do not “capture” the printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the
server rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, Fiery X4 print
connections will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.

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 X4 and for any workstations that
