 provides information on managing the color output of your 

Fiery X4. It addresses concepts and issues associated with printing to the Fiery X4 
and outlines key workflow scenarios. This manual explains how to calibrate your 
copier and take advantage of the ColorWise color management system as well as 
features in ColorWise Pro Tools. In addition, the

 explains the functions of the Fiery X4 client utilities, 

including the Command WorkStation, and how they can be used to manage jobs. 
This book is intended for an operator or administrator, or a user with the necessary 
access privileges, who needs to monitor and manage job flow, and troubleshoot 
problems that may arise.

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery X4, 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.

 

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:

• 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.

When you add the Fiery X4 to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator 
has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

 

Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a 
successful installation are:

 

Prepare a network node for the Fiery X4—obtain cable and route it to the location 
where the Fiery X4 will be installed (near the copier) and attach the cable to the net-
work interface of the Fiery X4. See page 2-10 for details.

 

If you plan to run the Command WorkStation software, you will need to install 

the software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along 
with the Fiery X4. See 

 

 for details.

 

When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide 
client access to the Fiery X4 as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 5 for 
information on configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network 
environments.

 

Configure the Fiery X4 for your particular printing and network environment. First 
read Chapter 2, and then see the following chapters for details.

 

Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the 
client to the Fiery X4 over the network. These steps are described in 

 

 

and some information is provided in Chapter 5 of this manual.

 

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See 
Chapter 6 and the 

 

for details.
