2-9 Fiery on a NetWare network
Tips for experts—IPX networks
Setting up the Fiery is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on
the network.
The Fiery with IPX connections has the following characteristics:
• A minimum connection to the Fiery consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare print
server, and a NetWare queue.
• A single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers can be configured
simultaneously.
• The Fiery looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.
• Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the Fiery.
Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery
NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for
print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to
a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk,
freeing up the client workstation.
You must give the NetWare queue names a specific extension corresponding to the
Fiery print connection, as follows:
_print
_hold
_direct
NOTE: These extension names must be in English and in all lowercase letters.
You do not need to rerun Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue; however,
you should restart the Fiery after you create or remove a queue.
When the Fiery is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare
server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are automatically transferred
over the network to the matching connection on the Fiery. For example, jobs from the
