Network server setup requirements
This section provides basic information about configuring the Fiery X3eTY2 and using it on
the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information
specific to the Fiery X3eTY2 is presented. Setting up the network environment correctly
requires the presence and active cooperation of the network administrator. Detailed
instructions for configuring networks is beyond the scope of this document. For information,
see the documentation that accompanies your network system.

Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before
you configure Fiery X3eTY2 network settings in Setup. This allows the Fiery X3eTY2 to
query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever you change the configuration of the Fiery X3eTY2, MFP, or network at your site,
alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port
settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.

Windows networks
• The Fiery X3eTY2 requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them
dynamically. Make sure the Fiery X3eTY2 name and address are listed in a domain name
server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
dynamically. Make sure the Fiery X3eTY2 name and address are listed in a domain name
server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
If more than one Fiery X3eTY2 print connection is published (for example, if both the Print
queue and the Hold queue are published), consider creating a printer for each print
connection, so that users can print to each connection directly.

connection, so that users can print to each connection directly.
• Configure the Fiery X3eTY2 with the correct Windows domain name.
This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing.
To use Microsoft Active Directory, you must assign the Fiery X3eTY2 to a domain. If you
assign the Fiery X3eTY2 to a workgroup, you cannot use Active Directory.

NetWare networks
• You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.
For more information, see the documentation that accompanies your network system.
• You can configure a single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers simultaneously.
• The Fiery X3eTY2 looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print
jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a Print queue
on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client
workstation.
