4 Integrated Fiery Color Server INTRODUCTION Introduction to the Integrated Fiery Color Server The Fiery is a high-performance color controller that adds computer connectivity and highly efficient color printing capability to digital color copiers. It is optimized for high-speed communications, processing, rasterization, and printing of continuous tone color and monochrome (black and white) pages. Users can print from networked Mac OS computers and from networked PCs running Windows. In addition, the Fiery USB-Type A ports allow printing directly from a USB device. Features As an integral part of the printing system, the Integrated Fiery Color Server enables users to: Send images over AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and Novell networks, or through a USB device to print on a copier. Spool print jobs and select a printing priority for each job. Users can control spooled print jobs sent to the Fiery with user software running on networked Mac OS computers and PCs. Print files in color, grayscale, and black and white. Use the copier as a high-resolution color scanner with Remote Scan utility. Use 136 resident fonts (117 Adobe Type 1 PostScript fonts with Euro Currency support, and 19 TrueType fonts), plus two Adobe Multiple Master fonts used for font substitution when printing PDF files. WebTools or the Command WorkStation can be used to download additional fonts. Use built-in ColorWise color management and NetWise networking features. Specifications The Integrated Fiery Color Server Hardware specifications include: Celeron M440 Solo Intel 1.86GHz CPU 512 MB Memory (minimum) 80GB SATA hard disk drive (minimum) Three USB-Type A ports for printing through a USB device Supports AppleTalk and TCP/IP protocols simultaneously Ethernet port for twisted pair (10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseT) network connection CONFIGURATION TRAINING GUIDE 8/09 1-3

5 INTRODUCTION Integrated Fiery Color Server Network Connectivity When the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer. The Fiery supports the following network protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other): AppleTalk, Bonjour TCP/IP, which also includes the BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, IPP, IPv4, IPv6, LDAP, LPD, NBT, POP3, Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, SSL/TLS, 802.1x and IPSec protocols 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 Fiery is autosensing, and handles all connections simultaneously. This information needs to be managed by a local administrator. How the Fiery Network Controller Operates To gain an understanding of how the Fiery Color Server Operates, consult the Integrated Fiery Color Server for the WC 7700 Series MFP Installation and Service Guide, Introduction. Service Documentation This training document is intended to provide general procedures. For specific detailed procedure, refer to your service documentation /09 CONFIGURATION TRAINING GUIDE
