Fiery X4 on the network
When the Fiery X4 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript
printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery X4 supports the following
network protocols:
printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery X4 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 http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on
the Internet and on intranets.

• 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 the 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. A Token Ring option is also
available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols. The Fiery X4 is
auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.
