5-11 ColorPASS on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0
ColorPASS on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT 4.0
When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is configured to connect to the ColorPASS using
TCP/IP, it can print directly to the ColorPASS. If the computer shares the printer
over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT 4.0/2000 and
Windows 95/98/Me clients. Client machines print to the ColorPASS by printing to
the Windows NT 4.0 print server. Printing can then be monitored and controlled at
the Windows NT 4.0 server machine.
Typical system combinations are:
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0 Server; clients running
Windows NT 4.0/2000 Workstation and Windows 95/98/Me
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000 Workstation and clients running
Windows 95/98/2000
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run the Fiery utilities and Fiery WebTools
from a Windows NT 4.0/2000 or Windows 95/98/Me computer.
The Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the
ColorPASS as an alternative to TCP/IP. When creating a printer to share with
AppleTalk users, do not “capture” the printer. Capturing the printer forces all users
to print to the server rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer,
ColorPASS print connections will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.
Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0 using TCP/IP protocols is similar in some
respects to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network
connections are made from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, note the following:
• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the ColorPASS and for any workstations that
will print to it or run the Fiery utilities.
• In ColorPASS Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and
Gateway address for the ColorPASS.
You can enter these addresses manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP protocols to
assign them dynamically.
