Command WorkStation LE 
(Mac OS X Native Mode)

300Mhz Apple Macintosh G3
128MB RAM
80MB hard disk drive space (installation)
500MB hard disk drive space—recommended for generating full previews of raster files and 
handling large PS/PDF files
Operating system—Mac OS X v10.2/10.3
Java for Mac OS X—Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, version 1.3.1

 

More system resources (RAM and hard disk drive space) and a faster processor will 

lead to better system performance.

To set up your Fiery X3e, you must perform the following tasks:

• Connect the Fiery X3e physically to a functioning network.

• Configure the network server.

• Set up the Fiery X3e from the Control Panel.

• Prepare client workstations for printing.

A brief explanation of each task follows.

 

When you add the Fiery X3e to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator 
has already installed a network cabling system and has connected workstations and 
servers. For examples of different networks, see the 

 

. After a 

network node has been prepared for the Fiery X3e, and the cable has been routed to a 
location where the Fiery X3e will be installed (near the copier/printer), follow the 
procedure below.

 

To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to access the 
Functions menu. Choose Print Pages, and then choose Test Page.

 

The network should be installed and operational.

 

If you require a network server, you must configure that server to provide client access 
to the Fiery X3e as a color printer. To configure a network server in a Windows or 
UNIX network environment, see the 

 

. For Novell and Windows 

(using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must be configured for printing to the 
Fiery X3e before you configure Fiery X3e network settings in Setup. For more 
information, see the 

 

 

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. Initial Setup must 
be performed at the Fiery X3e Control Panel. 

Perform the following Setup options in the order listed:

•

 

—specifies system options.

•

 

—specifies all the active network systems that transmit print jobs to 

the Fiery X3e.

•

 

—specifies how print jobs and queues are managed.

 

This is the minimum setup required to enable your Fiery X3e to begin printing. 

To configure network settings in Setup, you need a live network connection so the 
Fiery X3e can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

To perform Setup from the Control Panel, select one menu after another and enter 
information about your Fiery X3e and your network and printing environment. In 
each Setup screen, the last line of the display shows the name of the current Setup 
menu. Most of the menus you see are displayed on the Control Panel Map, as a flow 
chart you can print from the Control Panel.

 

The Control Panel displays the first four types of pages you can print. To see the 
remaining types of pages, press the Down arrow button.

 

Print the Configuration Page after you have finished running Setup to confirm your 
settings.

For an introduction to Fiery X3e Setup and detailed instructions on setting up the 
Fiery from the Control Panel or a Windows computer, see the 

 

 

Before you can print to the Fiery X3e, you must install the appropriate printer files 
from the User Software CD and connect the client to the Fiery X3e over the network. 
The software provided on the User Software CD is described in the 

 

.

 

The steps to set up printing vary slightly for Windows and Mac OS computers.

 

For all Windows operating systems supported (including Windows 98/Me, 
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003), the minimum steps for 
setting up printing are as follows:

• Install the printer drivers and corresponding printer driver files.

• Configure installable print options.

• Configure the print connection between the client and the Fiery X3e.
