This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the EX700i.
EX700i on the network
When the EX700i is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked printer. The
EX700i 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 DHCP, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, IPP, IPv4,
IPv6, LDAP, LPD, NBT, POP3, Port 9100, SMB, SMTP, SNMP, SNTP, and SSL/TLS 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 EX700i is autosensing, and handles all connections simultaneously.
C ONNECTING TO THE N ETWORK 11
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a successful installation are:
1 Configuring the network environment
Configure network servers to provide users with access to the EX700i as a networked printer.
For information about configuring network servers in Windows, Mac, and UNIX network
environments as they relate specifically to the EX700i, see page 13
. For information about using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network.
2 Physically connecting the EX700i to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the EX700i. Obtain cable, route it to the location where the
EX700i is to be installed, and attach the cable to the network connector of the EX700i. For
.
3 Setting up the EX700i
Configure the EX700i for your printing and network environment (see
).
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 .
5 Administering the EX700i
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that may arise

Network Server Setup requirements
This section provides basic information about configuring the EX700i and using it on the network. It does not explain network functions for printing in general. Only information specific to the EX700i is presented. 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 the documentation that accompanies your network.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before you configure EX700i network settings in Setup. This allows the EX700i to query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the EX700i, 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 EX700i requires a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP protocols to assign them dynamically. Make sure the EX700i name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or hosts name database used by your system.
If more than one EX700i 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 EX700i 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 EX700i to a domain. If you assign the EX700i 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
EX700i.
C ONNECTING TO THE N ETWORK 14
UNIX networks
• When you configure a UNIX workstation with the lpr protocol and connect to the EX700i over a TCP/IP network, you can print directly to the EX700i.
• Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the initial configuration, UNIX users submit print jobs to a named printer.
• The EX700i is a printer controller that understands lpr protocols.
• The EX700i has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it successfully.
Regardless of the UNIX system you use, the name that you use for the remote printer (or rp in the /etc/printcap file) in configuring the network for the EX700i must be one of the following: print hold
Computers on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the EX700i as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows Server 2003/Server 2008 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print server.

To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial EX700i configuration (or
“Setup”) to specify the network environment and the types of printing you do. Before you perform Setup, decide the levels of access to implement, such as passwords and other security features that the EX700i offers. Because many of these security features are interconnected, review the information in this chapter to plan for an effective security system, and then perform Setup accordingly.
Levels of access and control
When you configure the EX700i during Setup, you implement a particular level of control by configuring these elements:
• Users and Groups
• Print connections
• Access to WebTools
Users and Groups
With Configure, you create users, assign passwords to users, create groups with particular privileges, and assign users to the groups. Several groups are provided by default, and you can create new groups. All users in a group have the same privileges.
In addition to assigning the users that you create to a group, you can add users from your organization’s global address list if LDAP services is enabled on the EX700i.
The following discussion is an overview designed to help you prepare a security strategy.
For more information, including specific procedures, see Configure Help.
P REPARING FOR EX700 I S ETUP 16
User authentication
The term “user authentication” means that the EX700i verifies that a user who is sending a job belongs to a group, and that the group has printing privileges (“Print in B&W” or “Print in Color and B&W”).
By default, the EX700i 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” check box (Configure > Users and Groups). If this option is selected, anyone can print to the EX700i.
If you require users to specify their user name and password (that is, you have cleared the
“Allow users to print without authentication” check box), users must type this information in the printer driver when they print. 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 is sent to the EX700i).
Because jobs that are sent through FTP do not require a printer driver, you can specify that
FTP jobs are authenticated (Configure > Network > Services > FTP > Require Password for
Printing).
Passwords
When you create a new user in 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 EX700i. Change the Administrator password periodically to protect the EX700i from accidental or malicious changes to Setup.
For more information, see “Setting passwords” on page 39.
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.
P REPARING FOR EX700 I S ETUP 17
Administrator privileges
Users in the Administrators group have the highest level of control. Administrator privileges include:
• Configuring the EX700i with the Configure WebTool
• 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 EX700i of all job data
• Printing in black-and-white or color
• Publishing print connections
• Deleting fonts
• Controlling print jobs from the job management tools
• Overriding job settings
• Setting default settings for print options
• Calibrating the EX700i
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
• Calibrating the EX700i
• Printing, exporting, and viewing the Job Log
Guest privileges (no password)
A user does not need a password to log on as a Guest from the job management tools. A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or the EX700i state.
P REPARING FOR EX700 I S ETUP 18
EX700i print connections
The EX700i supports the following print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and Direct connection. You enable, or “publish,” these print connections to users on the network when you configure Printer Setup. All published connections are constantly checked for the presence of jobs. The Print queue and Direct connection give users more direct access to the
EX700i than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments where maximum control is required.
In addition, you can enable the Print queue, which is a storage area for the most recent jobs from the Print queue. The Print 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.
Hold queue
Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the EX700i hard disk drive 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 EX700i 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 EX700i, but only when the EX700i is
Idle. If the EX700i is busy, the job remains at the user’s computer until the EX700i 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 EX700i 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.
P REPARING FOR EX700 I S ETUP 19
Some types of jobs printed to the Direct connection cause temporary files to be stored on the
EX700i hard disk, but do not appear in any of the job management tools. These job types are:
• PDF jobs
• TIFF jobs
• Jobs with settings for any of the following print options:
– Reverse order printing (for large jobs)
– Booklet Maker
– Mixed Media
– Combine Separations
N OTE : To download fonts to the EX700i, you must publish the Direct connection.
WebTools
The EX700i supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, see
“Configuring WebTools” on page 37.
Home
Home provides you with current information about the jobs processing and printing on the
EX700i. 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 EX700i. To use this WebTool, you do not need a password. For more information, see Printing and Utilities .
Docs
Docs allows users to access, manage, and modify jobs on the EX700i, and submit jobs to the
EX700i. 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 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 EX700i options from a network computer. This
function requires an Administrator password. For more information, see page 32
.
P REPARING FOR EX700 I S ETUP 20
Additional security features
In addition to traditional security features such as passwords, you can use these features to keep the EX700i secure:
• E-mail access
• IP addresses, ports, and MAC addresses
• Secure Printing
• LDAP authentication
Controlling E-mail access to the EX700i
Because you can allow users to print file attachments in e-mail messages sent to the EX700i, the EX700i accepts only valid attachments (for example, PostScript or PDF files). Typically, viruses transmitted via e-mail require execution by the receiver. Attachments that are not valid files are discarded by the EX700i.
Because file types such as .BAT, .VBS, and .EXE could launch harmful virus activity, the
EX700i does not process these file types. The EX700i 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 EX700i. Any e-mail that the
EX700i receives from an e-mail address not in the authorized list is deleted. For more
.
Restricting IP addresses, ports, and MAC addresses
To restrict unauthorized connections to the EX700i, you can permit only users whose IP addresses or MAC addresses are within a defined range. You can also close unnecessary ports to reject inbound access from the network. Commands or jobs sent from unauthorized IP addresses or ports are ignored by the EX700i.
Make sure that the Network Security option in Setup from the digital press touch panel is selected. If you clear this option, IP address, ports, and Mac address filtering are disabled. For more information, see
Secure Printing
This option allows the printing of highly sensitive or confidential files with user authentication. A user printing a file with the printer driver assigns a password to the job. The user must then enter the password at the digital press to print the job. You assign passwords in
Configure using Users and Groups. For more information about assigning passwords to users and groups, see Configure Help. For more information about how to print a secure job with a password, see Printer Driver Help.

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
Configure Help.

EX700i for printing.
User includes users who have scanning access.
Fax is used for Scan to Internet FAX. This address book is used for sending scan files via
Internet FAX to the EX700i. You cannot use addresses in the address book to send an e-mail to the EX700i.
N OTE : Perform LDAP Setup before setting this address book. For more information, see
Configure Help.
When a print job is submitted via e-mail, the EX700i 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 EX700i until the administrator adds the first entry in the Print address book.

Maintaining optimal EX700i performance
The EX700i does not require maintenance. Beyond the obvious requirements of servicing and maintaining the digital press and replenishing consumables, you can improve the overall performance of your system by doing the following:
• Make the best use of your network connections.
Publish only connections that will be used. The EX700i 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 EX700i performance.
• Make sure that you have adequate disk space on the EX700i.
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 print queue and hold queue.
Consider printing or offloading inactive jobs. If disk space on the EX700i 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 the EX700i
Startup diagnostics are described in the documentation for service technicians. Contact your authorized service/support center if you see startup error messages on Command
WorkStation or if the EX700i does not reach Idle.
Runtime error messages
For error messages related to canceling jobs and printing, including the Disk Full message and alerts to load media, see Command WorkStation Help.
You can turn on PostScript error reporting as a print option from Mac OS applications.
Printer not found
Most failures to find a printer on the network are due to conflicting or missing name or address settings for the EX700i. You must enter names in specific places. The required names are:
• TCP/IP host name (also known as the DNS name), which is defined by your organization.
Enter the host name as the Server Name in EX700i Setup.
• Remote printer (internal machine) name. Use one of the following: print hold direct
N OTE : If you change the DNS name (TCP/IP host name) of the EX700i, you must reconfigure one of the utilities on each computer.
