DC242/252/260 with Bustled Controller or EX260 Controller
Scanning Overview
The scanning capabilities of the DocuColor 242/252/260 with either the bustled controller or the EX260 DFE are very much different from previous Fiery controllers.
Major differences include the following:
• Separation of “mailboxes” and “templates” They are no longer one in the same.
• Mailboxes are assigned to a User.
• Groups provide flexibility for configuring User privileges.
• Web Applications interface to the Fiery is available on the Copier UI
• Single template with multiple destinations (mailbox, email, scan to FTP & SMB, internet fax)
The DocuColor 242/252/260 scanning feature requires that the user select a Job Template from the Template list on the Copier UI prior to initiating the scanning of originals.
There are three “default” editable guest templates pushed to the printer by the Fiery software. All three default templates scan jobs into the “guest” mailbox.
The editable default guest templates are:
BW0GUEST, COLOR0GUEST GRAYSCALE0GUEST.
Four additional default (locked) non-editable templates are pushed to the printer.
ColorCal Color BW Grayscale
ColorCal is used for Calibration.
Color, BW, and Grayscale scan to guest mailbox (no password).
ONS 5
Fiery Utilities Once the originals have been scanned, they are stored in a “Mailbox” located on the hard drive of the bustled controller or EX260 DFE. Templates can also be setup for Scan to Email, FTP, SMB, or Internet Fax.
Note: Files scanned to Email, FTP, SMB, and Internet Fax are deleted after transfer to the remote destination.
The following Fiery software utilities can be used to retrieve the stored image files from a Mailbox. These utilities are covered in more detail later in this package.
Fiery WebTools WebPage, Docs
Fiery Remote Scan 5
Fiery Bar Scan (EX260 only)
Fiery Bridge
Fiery WebTools WebPage “Docs” tab is one of the selections on the Fiery Webpage that is used to distribute the file to several different destinations.
The destinations are:
Hold Queue – A stored file can be placed into the Hold Queue on the controller.
Save To Disk – The stored files can be saved to a workstation hard drive.
Email – The stored files can be sent to an email address.
FTP or SMB – The stored files can be transferred to a network FTP server.
Fiery Remote Scan 5 utility or the Fiery Bar Scan utility (EX260 only) can be used to distributed the files to several different destination.
The destinations are:
Hold Queue – A stored file can be placed into the Hold Queue on the controller.
Save To Disk – The stored files can be saved to a workstation hard drive.
Email – The stored files can be sent to an email address.
FTP – The stored files can be transferred to a network FTP server.
The 50,000 foot view
The following is a high-level overview of the Scanning option on a DocuColor 242/252/260 with either the bustled controller or the EX260:
1) Create a User with Mailbox privileges using the Fiery webpage Configure.
2) Create a Template for the User using the Fiery webpage if one has not already been created. (Default Guest template can be used)
3) Select the Template on the printer UI then press Start to scan the document.
4) The document is scanned, the Printer creates an image file of the image data and stores the file in the “Mailbox” on the hard drive of either the bustled controller or the EX260.
5) Files stored in “Mailboxes” on the controller hard drive can then be retrieved and distributed using several interfaces that are covered later in this package.

Technical Overview
The scan path between the controller (bustled controller or EX260) and the DocuColor 242/252/260 copier consists of a single Ethernet Crossover cable connected between the right side rear of the copier (IOT) and the controller.
Information about the scan path:
The machine will boot up and copy / print if the crossover cable is left off the machine. The machine will not be able to scan.
The Ethernet Crossover cable is a standard crossover cable and any crossover cable can be used if the original cable fails.
The crossover cable connects to an RJ45 port on the back of the copier and to an RJ45 port on the controller.
The machine uses the TCP/IP protocol to transfer the image data from the machine scanner to the controller.
Scan Path – Copier to Bustled Controller
The scan path consists of an Ethernet crossover cable connected to an RJ45 port on the right side rear of the copier and an RJ45 port on the controller.
The Scan Ethernet ports are configured with specific settings that cannot be changed through any interface.
The following is a list of the copier and controller scan port settings and specifications:
Copier Scan port:
- Port is only used for scanning.
- Port supports 10Mb and 100Mb Ethernet speeds and set to “auto detect.
- Port has one “link” status LED. The LED is lit indicating a good connection and flashing with activity.
- TCP/IP settings assigned to the port: TCP/IP Address: .......... 100.100.100.101 Subnet Mask:................ 255.255.255.252
- Port settings cannot be changed through any interface and are assigned through the copier software. If the port settings become corrupted, a copier software reload should restore the default settings.
- Port is active whether the crossover is connected to it or not once the copier has fully booted up.
8
Bustled Controller Scan port:
- Port is mounted directly to the controller motherboard.
- Port supports 10Mb and 100Mb Ethernet speed and is set by default to “auto detect”.
- Port has 2 status LEDs: Green LED – When lit good connection and flashing with data. Amber LED – When lit 100mbps and off 10mbps speed.
- TCP/IP settings assigned to the port: ...TCP/IP Address: ..........100.100.100.102 ...Subnet Mask: ................255.255.255.252
- The port settings described above are assigned as defaults to the scan port from within the controller software and they cannot be changed through any interface.
- If the port settings become corrupted, a software reload should restore the default settings.
The following is the physical scan path between the copier (IOT) and the Bustled controller shown from the back of the machine.

Scan Path – Copier to EX260 Controller
The scan path consists of an Ethernet crossover cable connected to an RJ45 port on the rear right side of the copier and an RJ45 port on the controller.
The Ethernet ports are configured with specific settings that cannot be changed on the copier but can be changed on the EX260 enabled with FACI.
The following is a list of the copier and controller scan port settings and specifications:
Copier Scan port:
- Port is only used for scanning.
- Port supports 10Mb and 100Mb Ethernet speeds and set to “auto detect.
- Port has 2 status LEDs: Green LED – When lit good connection and flashing with data. Amber LED – When lit 100mbps and off 10mbps speed.
- TCP/IP settings assigned to the port: TCP/IP Address: .......... 100.100.100.101 Subnet Mask:................ 255.255.255.252
- Port settings cannot be changed through any interface and are assigned through the copier software. If the port settings become corrupted, a copier software reload should restore the default settings.
- Port is active whether the crossover is connected to it or not once the copier has fully booted up.
EX260 Controller Scan port:
- Port is mounted directly to the controller motherboard.
- Port supports 10Mb and 100Mb Ethernet speed and is set by default to “auto detect”.
- Port has 2 status LEDs. One indicates a good connection and flashes with activity. The other is lit for 100mbps and off for 10mbps.
- TCP/IP settings assigned to the port: .. TCP/IP Address: .......... 100.100.100.102 .. Subnet Mask:................ 255.255.255.252
- The port settings described above are assigned as defaults to the scan port from within the controller software; however, they can be changed through the FACI desktop.
The scan NIC card is labeled Network Scan in Control Panel > Network Connections.
- If the port settings become corrupted and there is no FACI, a software reload should restore the default settings.
The following is the physical scan path between the copier (IOT) and the EX260 controller shown from the back of the EX260 and the machine.

Users, Groups, Mailboxes, and Templates
Users and Groups
Groups Overview There are four default Groups on the controller:
• Administrators
• Operators
• Guests
• Standard Users
The Administrator group has access to all administrative and job management functions on the Fiery.
The Guest group has basic access to the Fiery features which is viewing active jobs status.
The Operator group has access to job management functions on the Fiery, which includes view job log, deleting, viewing, and modifying other user’s print jobs, and printing in B&W or Color.
The Standard Users group has standard access to the Fiery features.
A Group has three settable “Privileges” that affect Users.
Fiery Mailbox, Printing in B&W, Printing in Color
ONS 11
ONS 12
Users Overview
The first three Groups have one default User in each Group:
• admin (in the Administrator group)
• operator (in the Operator group)
• guest (in the Guest group)
Passwords
The “guest” user has no password and cannot be edited.
The “operator” user has no password, but one can be added.
The “admin” user password can be changed from the default password (Fiery.1).
The “admin” user can create additional Groups and Users using the redesigned Fiery WebTools Webpage.
Note: Even though a password for the guest user cannot be added, unchecking the “mailbox” privileges’” in the Guest Group takes away access to any files scanned using a guest template or one of the “locked” bw, color, or grayscale templates. The scanned files will build up and would eventually need to be deleted. This can be done by enabling “delete each scan job after one day or one week”. This setting is described in the section “Mailboxes” page 17.
User and Group Configurations
When setting up Users and Groups, take into consideration the following:
• Who will need an individual mailbox?
• What is the purpose of the mailbox?
• What format(s) will the scan is filed?
• Will the job be scanned to a server or emailed?
This will help determine the User and Template structure to be created. It can become very complex with many users, mailboxes, and templates or be very simple with just a few mailboxes and templates.
Adding Users to Contact List (Fiery Address Book) To add a User:
• Click the Configure tab on the WebTools Webpage.
• Click the Launch Configure button
• Log in as Administrator. (Fiery.1 default password)
• Click on User & Groups.
Users are added by selecting the “Contact List” button.
It is important to note that the “User Name” field will be used to automatically create a mailbox with the same name (and password) provided the mailbox option is checked in the Group that the User is assigned.
The name that is entered in the “User Name:” field will be the name of the mailbox entered in a template. Enter only uppercase characters and number. No spaces or special charters.
The user being created will then need to be assigned to a group. If this is not done, the user will not have any “Privileges” and cannot do anything.
Users do not have to be a person. They could be created for a department mailbox or as mailbox for a common function like “COLOR600” for 600DPI color scans.
The “Contact List” is the Fiery’s internal address book. There is no provision to import or export only the address book. The address book is saved as part of the configuration backup covered later in “Restore & Backup”.
The next step is to add the User to a group.
ONS 13
Creating Groups New groups can be created by selecting “Create Group” button on the User & Groups screen.
Enter the Group Name. The name can be a department or functional description. Then check the Privileges for the group. In this example only “Print in B&W” is assigned to this group.
When finished, select “Save” or “Save and Add Members” to go directly to adding users to the Group.
Adding Users to a Group On the Users and Groups screen, double click the Group to which the User is to be added. The View Group Detail will be displayed. A user can be a member of several groups. A user in the Administrator Group has FULL control of the Fiery.
Click the Add button.
ONS 14
Adding a User from the Contact List (Fiery Address book)
Using the pulldown, select the Fiery Contact List.
Highlight the User(s) to be added and click “Add>>”.
Select Save.
Adding a User from the LDAP Address Book
If the User is not displayed in the Available contact: window, enter the user name in the Search: field and click Go.
ONS 15
Highlight the User(s) to be added and click “Add>>”.
Select Save.
To see the contact information for the user click View.
Important Note: When users are added to a Group with Mailbox privileges using the LDAP address book, the mailbox name will include the domain of the user. The format for the mailbox name will be: domain\user.
In this example the mailbox name would be onslab\rchase. This format has to be used when the user logs into their mailbox. The user and password will be validated through LDAP at that time.
ONS 16
Mailboxes and Templates
Mailboxes As stated previously, mailboxes and templates have been disassociated on the DC242/252/260. A mailbox is assigned to a User when the user is created and assigned to a group. The privileges of the Group will determine if the mailbox is an option for the user.
The “User Name:” field from the Contact List (Fiery Address Book) or LDAP Address Book is used for the mailbox name. Users can only view, retrieve, and delete documents in their mailbox including the “admin” user when a password is part of the user setup. Mailboxes without a password can be viewed by anyone, as the Guest mailbox allows. As a reminder, the format for the mailbox name on a LDAP user is: domain\user
Deleting / Clearing Jobs from Mailboxes There is a setting in the Network setup that determines how jobs are cleared from mailboxes.
On the Fiery webpage, click Launch Configure.
Login as Administrator, default password (Fiery.1).
Select Network, Services, Scan.
The Default setting for Clear Each Scan Job: is Manual. When Manual is selected, Users will have to clear/delete jobs from their own mailboxes to keep the Fiery hard disk from filling up.
IMPORTANT: When set to Daily or Weekly, the Fiery software checks the date on the jobs. When a job in ALL mailboxes is older than one day or one week, the job(s) is automatically deleted.
ONS 17
Templates Templates control the scanning features and destination of the scanned file. Creating templates will be covered more completely in the next section, but there are several fields in the template that need additional clarification.
• Name: The entry in this field is what will be displayed on the UI of the printer in Network Scanning. Use CAPS, 0-9 and no spaces or special characters.
• Username: This field is the User that created the mailbox. It will auto fill with the current “logged in” user within the administrator group.
• Mailbox: This field must contain a user with mailbox privileges. The user does not have to be a person. The user/mailbox may have been created to provide a common department mailbox for scanned jobs (ie: FINANCE or BILLING). It can also be a common mailbox for a specific output (ie: COLOR600PDF or BW300PDF).
There are three Guest Default Templates: BW0GUEST, COLOR0GUEST, and GRAYSCALE0GUEST. These templates are configurable and scan into the Guest mailbox which has no password. These default templates can be modified and/or deleted as needed by the administrator.
Note: Network Scanning on the printer UI will display four additional “system” templates that are not configurable (locked).
• ColorCal is used for calibration.
• Jobs scanned into the BW, Color, and Grayscale templates are stored in the “guest” mailbox.
Important: If there is a need for security purposes to prevent access to any scanned jobs in the Guest Mailbox, the only method is to uncheck the “mailbox” privileges’ in the Guest Group. See the note under “Passwords” on page 12.
ONS 18
Creating Scan Templates with WebTools
Scan templates are created using the Printer UI or Fiery WebTools. Access the Fiery Webpage and click on the “Scan Settings” tab. The current logged in user is displayed just under the “Home” tab.
Note: Web Applications in All Services on the Printer UI can be used for limited Guest Template creation/modification. WebTools has full access to template management.
Default Guest Login The default login is “guest” when you first click on the Scan Settings tab. These default guest templates scan to the “guest” mailbox. Only templates with “guest” in the “created by” column will be displayed.
The default guest templates can be modified by a guest user by clicking on “Edit”. The “Name:” and “Username:” fields cannot be changed by a “guest” user. Other template settings can be made and saved. If the guest mailbox is unchecked in this example, is can only be added back by a user in the Administrator group. The Admin user can create a new guest template with only Email selected.
ONS 19
Note: If guest access for creating or modifying templates is not desired, the default guest templates can be deleted. Admin can recreate as needed.
Admin Login This screen shows the user logged in as “admin”. Enter “admin” for the user name and “Fiery.1” for the password, then click Login. All templates will be displayed.
Note: In this example the “Createdby” column has three different users. TEST2 is a user with admin privileges.
There are three Icons available for users in the administrator group:
New, Import and Export.
Icons available to admin user
All fields in an existing template except the template Name can be changed. If the template name is incorrect, the template must be deleted and recreated with the correct name.
Using WebTools the default guest templates can be modified or deleted. To modify an existing template, click Edit. Make the changes and select save.
The Printers UI Web Applications allows changes to the three default templates. The Printer UI template editing will be covered later.
ONS 20
New Template Click on the New icon to create a Template. The “Username:” field is auto-filled with the logged in user; in this example “admin”. The New icon is only available to users in the Administrator group.
ONS 21

Using Fiery Bridge When you install Fiery Bridge, a Fiery icon is added to the My Computer window on your desktop. When you add a Fiery server to Fiery Bridge, a folder for that server is added under the Fiery icon. The folder for the server in turn contains a My Documents folder that contains the documents in your mailbox on the Fiery.
The scanned documents appear as regular files of either PDF or TIFF format (depending on the file format setting). However, these files are not actually on your computer. By default, a scanned document is not transferred to your computer until you access it by opening it in an application on your computer or by copying it to your computer.

You cannot save a scanned document back to the Fiery mailbox. You must save it as a new document on your computer. The scanned document on the Fiery remains unchanged. You can access scanned documents by browsing from the desktop, from within an application, or from the Fiery Bridge main window.
To Access a Scanned Document From Your Desktop or an Application
1. From your desktop, open My Computer. From an application, choose File > Open and browse to My Computer.
2. Under My Computer, double click the Fiery icon.
3. Under the Fiery icon, open the folder that has the same name as the
Fiery containing the scanned document. If you are prompted for a user name and password, type them and click Login.
4. Select “Reconnect at System Start” before clicking Login if you want Fiery Bridge to enter your user name and password automatically in the future, even if you reboot your computer. If you do not select this option, you are logged into the Fiery until you log out of your Windows session.
5. Under the folder that has the same name as the Fiery containing the
scanned document, open My Documents. The list of scanned documents appears. If you are browsing from your desktop, double-click a document to open it in its default application, or select a document and copy it to another folder. If you are browsing from an application, select the document and click Open.
A document is not transferred to your computer until you open or copy it.

Appendix A – DC242/252/260 Email Setup (SMTP & POP3)
In order for the DC242/252/260server to be able to transfer scanned image files to an email address, the DC242/252/260 server must be configured with the customer’s Email settings.
The following procedure provides the steps necessary for configuring the DC242/252/260 server to support scanning to an Email address.
1) Create an email account (and mailbox) for the server on the customer’s Email server.
The procedure for doing so is out of the realm of this document. Refer to the documentation for the particular Email server for help.
2) Gather the following information from the customer prior to proceeding:
IP address of their SMTP mail server
DC242/252/260 Email address
A Network Administrator’s Email address (The DC242/252/260 will email error messages to this email address).
3) Launch a web browser (i.e.: Internet Explorer) and enter the DC242/252/260 IP address into the URL address field.
4) Press <Enter> and the DC242/252/260 web page will be displayed.
5) Select the Configure tab then select Launch Configure.
ONS 73
6) Login as Administrator, default password is Fiery.1
7) Select the Network, Services, Email on the Configure screen to access the machine’s Email configuration page.
8) Place a check in the box Enable E-mail to enable Email functionality. Note: Enable Print via Email will print “Print Ready” attachments from emails sent to the Fiery’s Email address. This only applies if POP3 is configured.
9) If POP3 is being configured, enter the Incoming Mail Server IP address for the POP3 Mail server.
10) In the Outgoing Mail Server field, enter the IP address of the SMTP Mail server.
11) In the Mailbox Account Name field, enter DC252 (provided by SA).
12) In the Fiery E-mail Address field, enter the complete email address for the DC242/252/260 (i.e.:[email protected]).
ONS 74
13) In the Mailbox Account Password field, enter the password (provided by SA).
14) In the Administrator E-mail Address field, enter the email address of the Network Administrator. The DC242/252/260 will send an email message to this address if an email problem is encountered
15) Select Save and then reboot the server to save the changes.
Note: The Attachment Size Maximum (15000 KB maximum) is set in a different location. Select Network, Services, Scan.
ONS 75
If the image file to be attached to an Email message is larger than the setting chosen, the DC242/252/260 will send the mail message with a URL for the file rather than the file itself.
IMPORTANT: The setting Clear Each Scan Job applies only to Mailboxes. Scan to Email, Internet Fax, FTP and SMB deletes the job when the operation finishes (either failed or transferred). The setting should be left at Manual unless the customer decides later that the Fiery HDD is filling due to users not emptying their mailboxes.

Appendix B – DC242/252/260 FTP Service & FTP Printing Setup
FTP service allows DC242/252/260 server to be able to transfer scanned image files to an FTP server. The FTP service is default enabled in the software.
There is no provision to turn off FTP service other than disabling the ports used by the service (ports 20/21). Ports can be enable/disabled using the Fiery WebPage in the configuration under Network, Protocol, TCP/IP, Security.
FTP Scanning settings are entered directly into the Template which is covered in the Scan to FTP Template Setup section of this document.

Active vs. Passive Mode FTP Connections Passive mode can be enabled in the configuration under Network, Services, FTP. Active mode is the default setting (Passive mode unchecked).
ONS 78
The following explanation of Active vs. Passive FTP Mode is from Slacksite.com.
Active Mode:
In active mode FTP the client connects from a random unprivileged port (N > 1023) to the FTP server's command port, port 21. Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client's specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20.
From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support active mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened:
• FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection)
• FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port)
• FTP server's port 20 to ports > 1023 (Server initiates data connection to client's data port)
• FTP server's port 20 from ports > 1023 (Client sends ACKs to server's data port)
ONS 79
Passive Mode:
In order to resolve the issue of the server initiating the connection to the client a different method for FTP connections was developed. This was known as passive mode, or PASV, after the command used by the client to tell the server it is in passive mode.
In passive mode FTP the client initiates both connections to the server, solving the problem of firewalls filtering the incoming data port connection to the client from the server. When opening an FTP connection, the client opens two random unprivileged ports locally (N > 1023 and N+1). The first port contacts the server on port 21, but instead of then issuing a PORT command and allowing the server to connect back to its data port, the client will issue the PASV command. The result of this is that the server then opens a random unprivileged port (P > 1023) and sends the PORT P command back to the client. The client then initiates the connection from port N+1 to port P on the server to transfer data.
From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support passive mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened:
• FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection)
• FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port)
• FTP server's ports > 1023 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to random port specified by server)
• FTP server's ports > 1023 to remote ports > 1023 (Server sends ACKs (and data) to client's data port)

FTP Printing Setup FTP Printing allows “print ready” files to be sent to the Fiery using FTP to the designated queue on the Fiery.
FTP Printing is enabled default. Jobs can be sent to the Hold (default) or Print queues. When Require Password for Printing is checked, a valid User and Password will need to be configured in Users & Groups.

Appendix C – DC242/252/260 LDAP Setup
Date/Time/Timezone Before configuring LDAP a discussion about Date/Time setup on the DC242/252/250 Fiery controllers is needed. The current v2.0 software does not allow for setting “adjust for daylight savings” in setup. This is by design.
From the behavior of the clock when selecting the Time Zone, is such that when a City is selected, the time is automatically adjusted for Daylight Savings. When a GMT zone is selected, the time is set by that amount offset from Grenich time.
For example: If the clock displays 6AM with the default zone of Los Angeles (PST) and you need to change the time zone to New York (EST), the clock will adjust to 9AM. Three hours as expected.
In the same example if GMT -5 is selected the time will change to 8AM on the clock. If you changed the time to 9AM for the correct time in New York, the LDAP verify login check will fail with the following message.
LDAP Setup LDAP service for DC242/252/260 server is setup using the Fiery WebPage in Launch Configure Network, Services, LDAP.
Selecting the Configure LDAP button brings up the following window.
