2-2 Setting up Network Servers
A typical system combination is:
•Print server running Windows 2000; clients running Windows 2000/XP.
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and WebTools from a
Windows computer.
Tips for experts—Windows with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up
UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from
Windows workstations, note the following:
• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the EX7750 and any workstations that will
print to it or run the Fiery utilities.
• In EX7750 Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address for the EX7750.
You can enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign
them dynamically. Make sure the EX7750 name and address are listed in a domain
name server (DNS) or host name database used by your system. Otherwise, make sure
the system host table includes the correct internal name for the EX7750 as a remote
printer. For more information, see “Important note about the remote printer name” on
page 2-17.
•For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver files (PCL or PostScript) on the
Windows.
For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.
• Repeat the installation for all users who print to the EX7750.
Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the
TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.
