About Setup
About Setup
Setup configures the Fiery X3e to communicate with other devices and manage print
jobs. You must perform Setup the first time you turn on the Fiery X3e after new
system software is loaded, or any time Server software is reinstalled. An initial Setup
using default settings is adequate for allowing users to print to the Fiery X3e and use
the WebTools. When your network or user printing environment changes, you can
change Setup options accordingly.
