Network server setup requirements
This section provides basic information about configuring the Integrated Fiery Color Server
and using it on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general.
Only information specific to the Integrated Fiery Color Server 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 your network documentation.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection
before you configure Integrated Fiery Color Server network settings in Setup. This allows the
Integrated Fiery Color Server to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based
queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the Integrated Fiery Color Server, digital press, 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 Integrated Fiery Color Server 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 Integrated Fiery Color Server name and address are listed in a
domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
If more than one Integrated Fiery Color Server 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.
• Configure the Integrated Fiery Color Server 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 Integrated Fiery Color Server to a
domain. If you assign the Integrated Fiery Color Server to a workgroup, you cannot use
Active Directory.
AppleTalk networks
AppleShare servers require no special configuration.
To allow Mac OS X computers to access Bonjour printers, you must enable Bonjour on the
Integrated Fiery Color Server.
