Configuring the E300 for your network and print
environment
The E300 provides configuration settings for the printer connection, client computer connections, user access levels,
security features, and print queues.
For a description of the configuration settings not described in this document, see Configure Help.
Networking with client computers
The E300 can receive print jobs from the following types of client computers:
•
Windows client computers
•
Mac client computers
•
UNIX (and UNIX-like) workstations
Enabling printing from Windows computers
Windows client computers can connect to the E300 using TCP/IP or UDP/IP over IPv4 or IPv6.
To configure the E300 Windows domain name, open Configure and click Fiery Server > Server Name.
Configuring the domain name is required for Windows printing, known as Server Message Block (SMB) printing.
To use Microsoft Active Directory, assign the E300 to a Windows domain (Microsoft Active Directory is not
compatible with a workgroup).
Enabling printing from Mac computers
Mac client computers can connect to the E300 using TCP/IP or UDP/IP over IPv4 or IPv6.
In addition, the E300 can act as a Bonjour printer. The Bonjour protocol setting is enabled by default and is available
in Configure at Network > Bonjour.
As an option, you can use AppleTalk to download Mac fonts to the E300. Font downloads are the only function
supported over AppleTalk. This setting is disabled by default and is available in Configure at Network > AppleTalk.
Enabling printing from UNIX and UNIX-like workstations
You can print directly to the E300 from any workstation that meets the standard specifications for UNIX and UNIX-
like workstations.
To create the printer connections, follow the procedures provided in the documentation for your UNIX or UNIX-
like distribution.
