INTRODUCTION
This document describes how to set up network servers and user computers to use the
Xerox 700 Digital Color Press with Integrated Fiery Color Server so that users can print to it
as a high-performance networked printer. For general information about using the digital
press, your computer, your software, or your network, see the documentation that
accompanies those products.
Setting up the network environment correctly requires the presence and active cooperation of
the network administrator. Detailed instructions for configuring networks is beyond the scope
of this document. For information, see your network documentation.
For information about supported operating systems and system requirements, see Welcome.
Integrated Fiery Color Server Xerox 700 Digital Color Press with Integrated Fiery Color Server
Important information
N OTE : For information about network servers, see your network documentation.
These protocols can run concurrently on the same cable. Computers that use other protocols
can print through a server that uses one of the supported protocols. The Integrated Fiery
Color Server is auto-sensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 10
Configure network servers to provide users with access to the Integrated Fiery Color Server as
a networked printer. For information about configuring network servers in Windows and
UNIX network environments as they relate specifically to the Integrated Fiery Color Server,
see page 12. For information about using your network, see your network documentation.
2 Physically connecting the Integrated Fiery Color Server to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the Integrated Fiery Color Server. Obtain cable, route it to the
location where the Integrated Fiery Color Server is to be installed, and attach the cable to the
network connector of the Integrated Fiery Color Server. For details, see page 19.
3 Setting up the Integrated Fiery Color Server
Configure the Integrated Fiery Color Server for your printing and network environment
(see page 22 and page 53).
4 Preparing user computers for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install user software, and connect the user computers to
the network. The software installation is described in Printing from Windows and Printing
from Mac OS.
5 Administering the Integrated Fiery Color Server
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise
(see “Administering the Fiery Controller” on page 58).
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 11
Network server
Connection
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection
before you configure Integrated Fiery Color Server network settings in Setup. This allows the
Integrated Fiery Color Server to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based
queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the Integrated Fiery Color Server, digital press, or
network at your site, alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing
network or port settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.
Windows networks
• The Integrated Fiery Color Server requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
address.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them
dynamically. Make sure the Integrated Fiery Color Server name and address are listed in a
domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
If more than one Integrated Fiery Color Server print connection is published (for example, if
both the Print queue and the Hold queue are published), consider creating a printer for each
print connection, so that users can print to each connection directly.
• Configure the Integrated Fiery Color Server with the correct Windows domain name.
This is especially important for Windows printing, also known as SMB printing.
To use Microsoft Active Directory, you must assign the Integrated Fiery Color Server to a
domain. If you assign the Integrated Fiery Color Server to a workgroup, you cannot use
Active Directory.
AppleTalk networks
AppleShare servers require no special configuration.
To allow Mac OS X computers to access Bonjour printers, you must enable Bonjour on the
Integrated Fiery Color Server.
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK 13
UNIX networks
• When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the Integrated
Fiery Color Server over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the Integrated Fiery Color
Server.
• Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial
configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer.
• The Integrated Fiery Color Server is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.
• The Integrated Fiery Color Server has a remote printer name you must use in order to
communicate with it successfully.
Regardless of the UNIX system you use, the name you use for the remote printer (or rp in
the /etc/printcap file) in configuring the network for the Integrated Fiery Color Server must
be one of the following:
print
hold
direct
Computers on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the Integrated Fiery Color Server as a
remote printer, or can print to a Windows 2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation
acting as a print server.
PREPARING FOR FIERY CONTROLLER SETUP 14
In addition to assigning the users that you have created to a group, you can add users
from your organization’s global address list if you have LDAP services enabled on the
Integrated Fiery Color Server.
The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy.
For more information, including specific procedures, see WebTools Configure Help.
User authentication
The term “user authentication” means the Integrated Fiery Color Server verifies that the user
who is sending a job belongs to a group, and the group has printing privileges (“Print in
B&W” or “Print in Color and B&W”).
By default, the Integrated Fiery Color Server does not enforce user authentication. That is,
even if you assign passwords to users and assign the users to groups, no authentication occurs
unless you clear the “Allow users to print without authentication” checkbox (in Configure >
Users and Groups). If this option is selected, anyone can print to the Integrated Fiery Color
Server.
PREPARING FOR FIERY CONTROLLER SETUP 15
If you require users to specify their user name and password (that is, you have cleared the
“Allow users to print without authentication” checkbox), users must type this information in
the printer driver when they print. Also, users must specify their user name and password if
they create files from the printer driver for printing later (such as an e-mail attachment that
will be sent to the Integrated Fiery Color Server).
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that
FTP jobs are authenticated (see Configure > Network > Services > FTP > Require Password
for Printing).
The Mac OS X printer driver does not support cross-network authentication, such as
domain\LDAP user. Only local Integrated Fiery Color Server users are [Link] Mac
OS X printer driver automatically populates the user name field with the operating system
login (which the user can edit). By default, the Mac OS X printer driver requires the user
name “admin” with no password.
Passwords
When you create a new user in WebTools Configure > Users and Groups, you assign a
password to the user. In other areas of the system, you can also set passwords for these areas:
• Default admin user in Administrators group
• Default operator user in Operators group
By default, the Administrator password is set on the Integrated Fiery Color Server. Change
the Administrator password periodically to protect the Integrated Fiery Color Server from
accidental or malicious changes to Setup. For more information, see “Setting passwords” on
page 59.
Users in the Administrators and Operators groups have privileges in addition to the explicit
ones that you set when you create groups. Examples of these privileges are provided in the
following sections.
Administrator privileges
Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges
include:
• Configuring the Integrated Fiery Color Server from the Configure WebTool or from the
digital press control panel
• Adding and deleting groups
• Adding and deleting users
• Setting and changing passwords for users
• Deleting, printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log
• Deleting, viewing, and modifying users’ print jobs
• Clearing the Integrated Fiery Color Server of all job data
PREPARING FOR FIERY CONTROLLER SETUP 16
Operator privileges
Users in the Operators group control print jobs from the job management tools, including
the following:
• Viewing the Job Log
• Deleting, viewing, and modifying other users’ print jobs
• Printing in black-and-white or color
In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs
from the Print queue. The Printed queue allows users to reprint those jobs by using the job
management tools (for example, Command WorkStation).
N OTE : To use the utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one print connection.
PREPARING FOR FIERY CONTROLLER SETUP 17
Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Integrated Fiery Color Server hard disk for
printing at a later time, or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage area, jobs sent to
it cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the job
management tools.
Print queue
The Print queue is the standard Integrated Fiery Color Server queue. Jobs sent to the Print
queue are processed and printed in the order in which they are received. Jobs prioritized by an
operator with the job management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection take priority
over jobs sent to the Print queue.
Direct connection
The Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Integrated Fiery Color Server, but only
when the Integrated Fiery Color Server is idle. If the Integrated Fiery Color Server is busy, the
job remains at the user’s computer until the Integrated Fiery Color Server is ready. The job is
then processed as soon as the previous job is finished and before the next queued job is
processed.
In most cases, jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Integrated Fiery Color
Server hard disk, and cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the
Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct
connection do appear in the Job Log, for accounting purposes.
Some types of jobs printed to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored
on the Integrated Fiery Color Server hard disk, but do not appear in any of the job
management tools. These job types are the following:
• PDF jobs
• TIFF jobs
• Jobs with settings for any of these print options:
– Reverse order printing (for large jobs)
– Booklet Maker
– Mixed Media
– Combine Separations
N OTE : To download fonts to the Integrated Fiery Color Server, you must publish the Direct
connection.
PREPARING FOR FIERY CONTROLLER SETUP 18
WebTools
The Integrated Fiery Color Server supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from
Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see “Configuring WebTools”
on page 57.
Home
Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing
on the Integrated Fiery Color Server. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password.
For more information, see Utilities.
Downloads
Downloads allows users to download installers for printer drivers and other software directly
from the Integrated Fiery Color Server. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For
more information, see Printing from Windows, Printing from Mac OS, and Utilities.
Docs
Docs allows users to access, manage, and modify jobs in their mailboxes on the Integrated
Fiery Color Server, and submit jobs to the Integrated Fiery Color Server. For more
information, see WebTools Docs Help.
Scan Settings
Scan Settings allows you to define scan templates from a remote computer. These scan
templates are accessible from the digital press when you scan a file. The administrator has full
access to all scan templates. In addition, the administrator can create new scan templates in
Scan Settings and can import and export scan templates. For general information about
scanning, see Utilities. For information about Scan Settings, see WebTools Scan Settings Help.
Configure
Configure allows you to view and modify Integrated Fiery Color Server options from a
network computer. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information,
see page 53.
Because file types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the
Integrated Fiery Color Server does not process these file types. The Integrated Fiery Color
Server also ignores e-mails in RTF (Rich Text Format) or HTML (Hypertext Markup
Language) format, and any included JavaScript code.
You can define lists of authorized e-mail addresses on the Integrated Fiery Color Server. Any
e-mail that the Integrated Fiery Color Server receives from an e-mail address not in the
authorized list is deleted. For more information, see page 64.
LDAP authentication
When you enable LDAP communication to retrieve names and other information for people
at your organization, you can specify the type of authentication. For more information, see
WebTools Configure Help.

Enable Queues
To enable users to access the utilities and WebTools or print to the Integrated Fiery Color
Server over a TCP/IP network, you must publish at least the Hold queue or the Print queue.
Only the queues that you publish are available to users.
The Direct connection allows users to print (or download) jobs to the Integrated Fiery Color
Server without spooling the jobs. Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not saved in the
Printed queue.
If you plan to download fonts to the Integrated Fiery Color Server, you must publish the
Direct connection.
Jobs that are printed (or downloaded) to the Print queue are spooled to the Integrated Fiery
Color Server hard disk and printed on a first-in, first-out basis.
Jobs that are printed (or downloaded) to the Hold queue can be printed only by copying or
moving the jobs to the Print queue (for example, with Command WorkStation).
The Printed queue is a storage location on the Integrated Fiery Color Server hard disk for
recent jobs that were printed from the Print queue. Users do not print to the Printed queue.
However, users with Administrator or Operator access to the job management tools can
reprint jobs from the Printed queue without resending them to the Integrated Fiery Color
Server. If you do not enable the Printed queue, jobs are deleted from the Integrated Fiery
Color Server hard disk immediately after they are printed.
SETTING UP THE INTEGRATED FIERY COLOR SERVER FROM THE DIGITAL PRESS 31
CONTROL PANEL
If you have enabled the Printed queue, specify the number of jobs to store in the Printed
queue. Jobs in the Printed queue take up space on the Integrated Fiery Color Server hard disk.
If disk space is low, specify a smaller number of saved jobs.
Specify whether the Integrated Fiery Color Server authenticates users before their jobs are sent

Choose the personality of the digital press. If you choose Auto, the page description language
of incoming jobs is automatically detected and sent to the appropriate interpreter, PostScript
or PCL.
If you choose a specific interpreter, incoming jobs are initially sent to that interpreter. If the
job type does not match, the job is sent to the other interpreter.
Select this option if you want the Integrated Fiery Color Server to take particular action if the
job cannot print because of missing resources.
Mismatch Action
Suspend, Cancel
If you enabled Job Mismatch, choose the action for mismatched jobs. While a job is
suspended, other jobs continue to process and print.
Mismatch Timeout
0-999
If you enabled Job Mismatch, specify how long (in seconds) the Integrated Fiery Color Server
waits before it determines that a job is mismatched and therefore should be canceled.
PostScript/PCL Setup
These Setup menus allow you to set printing defaults for jobs sent to the Integrated Fiery
Color Server. When a user prints a job from the printer driver, the user can make a specific
setting for most print options on a job-by-job basis, and this setting is applied to the job.
However, users who send jobs without a printer driver (for example, from UNIX or DOS
command lines) cannot specify a setting and therefore must rely on the defaults that you set in
Setup. For information about these defaults, see “Setup options” on page 54.

Before performing Network Setup, confirm that the Integrated Fiery Color Server is
connected to an active network because the Integrated Fiery Color Server queries the network
for zones, servers, and server-based queues. If you perform Network Setup without a
connected and functioning network, default settings are used that may not meet your needs.
Configure options only for the network systems that are currently used at your site. If your
network requirements change, you can change Network Setup at any time. If the Integrated
Fiery Color Server is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically switches
to the correct protocol when it receives a print job.

USB printing
Users can save PS, EPS, PCL, TIFF, and PDF files to a USB device and print those files on the
Integrated Fiery Color Server. To print files automatically when you connect the USB drive to
the Integrated Fiery Color Server, save the files to specific folders or to the root level on the
USB drive.
Users can also print from the digital press control panel. For more information about
printing, see Printing from Windows and Printing from Mac OS.
Files copied to the Print, Hold, and Direct folders are downloaded to the corresponding
print connection on the Integrated Fiery Color Server when you connect the USB device to
the Integrated Fiery Color Server.
Files copied to the root level of the device (and any folder under the root level that is not
named for a print connection) are downloaded to the queue that you configured for
USB printing.
Prepare the USB device with the correct folder structure and appropriate files before the
device is connected to the Integrated Fiery Color Server. Because file processing begins as
soon as you connect the device to the Integrated Fiery Color Server, there is no time to do any
file management tasks such as moving files to a different folder or deleting files.
4 Remove the USB device from the computer and connect it to the USB port on the
Integrated Fiery Color Server.
Users use the address books when they send attachment files to a particular e-mail/Internet
Fax address.
The Integrated Fiery Color Server supports the following address books:
Admin allows members to modify the address book, get the current address book from
the Integrated Fiery Color Server, cancel a job, or receive the status of a job. However,
membership in this address book does not provide the same privileges as the Administrator
password (page 59) does.
Print includes users who have print access. Only users whose e-mail addresses are in the
Print address book are authorized to submit jobs via e-mail to the Integrated Fiery Color
Server. Unauthorized users receive an e-mail reply that their job was not accepted by the
Integrated Fiery Color Server for printing.
Fax is used for Scan to Internet FAX. This address book is used for sending scan files via
Internet FAX to the Integrated Fiery Color Server. You cannot use addresses in the address
book to send an e-mail to the Integrated Fiery Color Server.
Corporate is an LDAP address book used for Scan to E-mail. It allows users to send files with
Remote Scan to a list of addresses registered on an LDAP server.
N OTE : Perform LDAP Setup before setting this address book. For more information,
see WebTools Configure Help.
When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the Integrated Fiery Color Server first checks the
Print address book. If the user’s e-mail address does not match any entry in the Print address
book, the job does not print. Instead, the user receives an e-mail stating that the print job
was not accepted.
The default wildcard character “@” is stored in the Print address book. This allows any user
to print to the Integrated Fiery Color Server until the administrator adds the first entry in the
Print address book.

ADMINISTERING THE FIERY CONTROLLER 67
The Integrated Fiery Color Server searches paths for VDP resources in the following order:
1 Path that the user specifies in the job
See “Allowing users to define a search path for a single job” on page 68.
2 Paths that you define in Configure for common global objects
3 Path that the application specifies for VPS or PPML resources when it generates the
data stream
For any of these paths, the Integrated Fiery Color Server searches the folder and then the
subfolders within that folder. After the Integrated Fiery Color Server locates the first resource,
it attempts to locate the second resource in the same folder. If the second resource is not
found in the same folder, the Integrated Fiery Color Server searches according to the original
order.
3 In the window that appears, type the path name or click Browse to locate the path.
If you type the path name, use the format of a mapped drive (for example, Z:\folder) or a
UNC (for example, \\computer name\folder).
4 If the path is located on a computer that requires authentication, select Remote Server
Authentication and enter the appropriate user name and password.
5 Click OK.
7 Click Apply.
ADMINISTERING THE FIERY CONTROLLER 68
To use a mapped drive, it must be recognized by the Integrated Fiery Color Server. For
example, if the user specifies a path on the user’s computer (for example, C:\My
Documents\VDP), the Integrated Fiery Color Server assumes this is the C:\ drive on the
Integrated Fiery Color Server. In another example, if “Z:” is a network drive that users access
on their network, the Integrated Fiery Color Server does not know the location to which “Z:”
refers. Therefore, you must map a drive so that the Integrated Fiery Color Server also
recognizes the location where resources are stored.
If you have enabled Remote Desktop in Setup, connect to the Integrated Fiery Color Server
with Remote Desktop and use the following procedure.
3 In the path field, type the UNC of the network computer that contains the shared resources,
or click Browse and locate the computer on the network.
4 Click Finish.
5 If you are prompted to enter a network password, type Administrator in the Connect As field,
type the password in the Password field, and click OK.
6 Inform the user to use the drive letter in the VDP search path when the user sends the job to
the Integrated Fiery Color Server.

3 Click Print.
TO PRINT THE CONFIGURATION PAGE FROM THE DIGITAL PRESS CONTROL PANEL
1 On the digital press control panel, press the Web Applications button.
2 Press Info.
3 Press Configuration.
Publish only connections that will be used. The Integrated Fiery Color Server constantly
checks all published connections, even if they are inactive.
Review the published connections by printing a Configuration page. Eliminate the
connections that are not being used. It is easy to re-establish them when needed.
• Leave less urgent jobs to times when there is less network traffic or printing.
You can print recurring print jobs or jobs that are not urgent to the Hold queue.
At low-traffic times, the administrator or a user of the job management tools with Operator
privileges can move (or copy) all the Hold queue jobs to the Print queue for printing.
• Reduce unnecessary network communication.
Large numbers of users running Fiery utilities, especially with frequent updates, may have a
significant effect on Integrated Fiery Color Server performance.
• Make sure you have adequate disk space on the Integrated Fiery Color Server.
Periodically review the list of jobs in the Hold queue, and the number of jobs being retained
in the Printed queue.
An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed queue and Hold queue.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the Integrated Fiery Color
Server is frequently low, you can disable the Printed queue and choose not to publish the
Hold queue (in Printer Setup).
To move or remove queued jobs, use the job management tools. When you free up disk space
by removing inactive jobs, new jobs are spooled and printed more quickly.

TROUBLESHOOTING 72
TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter provides troubleshooting tips.
You can turn on PostScript error reporting as a print option from Mac OS applications.
N OTE : If you change the DNS name (TCP/IP host name) of the Integrated Fiery Color
Server, you must reconfigure one of the utilities on each computer.
TROUBLESHOOTING 73
Add New Server dialog box, Server Name DNS name Utilities
when configuring a utility
(TCP/IP host name)
Integrated Fiery Color Server Setup: The appropriate network protocol must be enabled, with
the correct parameters (for example, for TCP/IP, the IP address), and you must publish either
the Print queue or Hold queue.
You can check these settings quickly by printing a Configuration page.
If you experience this problem, try the following solutions, in this order:
• A remote computer running utilities or WebTools may be interfering by obtaining status
information. If possible, close the remote application, and try to connect again.
• Restart the Command WorkStation software and try to connect again.
• Restart the Integrated Fiery Color Server.
