• Install the appropriate printer files and connect
to one or more queues.
• For computers that will use them, install Fiery
utilities and an Internet browser.
• Verify the Fiery X4 in the list of printers and run
a test print.

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems that can be used for
printing and running Fiery software from remote workstations. Find the page with
your preferred platform and network type, and then look up the setup procedures
referenced in the “Key to setup” at the top left of each diagram.

referenced in the “Key to setup” at the top left of each diagram.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are
logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology)
of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each
logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star
configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical
networks is beyond the scope of this manual.

If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,
combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols
(shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection
from the Fiery X4 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be
operational at the same time.
