Introduction
This manual is intended for anyone who is responsible for integrating the Fiery into a business environment that includes networked personal computers. After the Fiery and client workstations are set up, individual users can print to the Fiery as a high- performance PostScript printer.
This manual describes how to set up network servers and clients to use the Fiery and how to install user software and set up printing from Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS computers. For general information on using your computer, your software, or your network, see the manuals that accompany those products.
NOTE: The term “Fiery” is used in this manual to refer to the Fiery Network Controller for C9800. The name “Aero” is used in illustrations to represent the Fiery. The term “Windows” is used to refer to Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, wherever appropriate. “Setup” is used to refer to configuring the Fiery for proper performance in your network environment, including settings that affect all jobs. The administrator can perform Setup from the WebSetup and Command WorkStation.
The Fiery includes support for the Fiery WebTools™ and software for Command WorkStation, which allow an operator to manage all jobs sent to the C9800. Although it may not be the case at all sites, the documentation for this product assumes the presence of an operator who controls and manages jobs sent by users from remote workstations.
Any additional connectivity or administrative features specific to the printer are described in the Printing Guide or the Release Notes.
