Xerox 2101 ST Digital Copier/Printer Installation Guide

 

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery EX2101, 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 EX2101 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked 
PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery EX2101 supports the 
following network protocols:

• AppleTalk

• TCP/IP 

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 SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) is the 
protocol that sends e-mail between servers. The SNMP (simple network 
management protocol) manages complex networks. The port 9100 is the printer 
server port number to publish print connections between the print server and a 
remote computer. The IMAP (internet message access protocol) retrieves e-mail 
messages. The POP3 (post office protocol) retrieves e-mail messages with or without 
SMTP. The http (hypertext transfer protocol) is commonly used for Web pages on 
the Internet and on intranets. The http also supports IPP printing.

In addition, the DHCP and BOOTP are used for assigning IP addresses 
automatically. These are not shown in the diagrams in this chapter. For more 
information, see 

• IPX/SPX (Novell)

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

These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each 
other) 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. The Fiery EX2101 is 
auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.
