This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery, and includes diagrams that 
refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. Check 
those references to find the information you need quickly.

When the Fiery is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript 
printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the printer supports the following network 
protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other):

• AppleTalk

• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd 
protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports 
Windows (SMB) printing. The port 9100 is the printer server port number to 
publish print connections between the print server and a remote computer. The http 
protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets. The 
http protocol also supports IPP printing.

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can 
run concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print 
through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned.

When you add the Fiery to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator has 
already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.
