Fiery on a network with UNIX workstations
Setting up the Fiery on TCP/IP networks
Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery, must have a unique
32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator to obtain an
address for the Fiery. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can print directly to the
Fiery as a remote printer, or can print to a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server
or UNIX workstation acting as a print server. Since the Fiery spools jobs and acts as a
print server, there is no advantage in placing another print server between a
workstation and the Fiery. If you choose to do so, however, there is no difference in
setup except that a client machine does not have its own spooling area.

Type the Fiery IP address assigned in Fiery Network Setup.
After the Fiery is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to
the Fiery:
