Fiery X2e + Minolta CF 910 no connection under Windows XP

Sounds like you are missing the control panel that screws into the right hand side of the machine.

If you got this from a working enivronment, might be worth checking to see if the control panel is still about. Normally you have to remove these panels to get the copier through doorways, so I might have been forgotten.

Other wise, if you have the CD's that came with the Fiery, then install Command Workstation. That way there will be a menu that will make the Fiery print out a 'Configuration Page' once you get Command Workstation connected to the device.

Hi,

ok- now I hoped I could finally described my problems in the right expressions.


I can use the minolta as copier
I can not use the minolta as printer or scanner
I can not get acces through ethernet to the fiery
As I got the sole machine without any additional items I have no control panel (external, additional control panel - the fiery can run without it) for the internal/embedded fiery
I can ping the fiery
I can not enter the fiery setup (websetup over ip)

So I need an control panel (difficult to send it via email )
Or the settings for the ethernet connection- just now I can not determine if my connection is wrong or the fiery is out of order.


BTW I got a copier panel and the minolta makes marvellous copies.

Regards
Raphele

Have you tried Command Workstation yet? You can run the setup through Command Workstation.

Other wise, here are the setting for the Standard TCP/IP Port for that you need for the print driver to talk to the device.

LPR
Queue name of 'print' or 'direct' - preferabley print
Tick the box that says 'LPR Byte Counting'

Ok, by print only I mean you can't walk up with an original and make a copy. It's a network device only. Can you use it as a copier? If you can use it as a copier then it has a control panel.

Something curious, the user guide for the Fiery shows that it has a control panel of it's own somewhere. I'm shooting in the dark on this one since I've never seen one. But the CF910 was just the upgraded CF900, which I've seen. Never had my hands on this model Fiery unfortunately.

If it doesn't have a Platten Glass then it would be a CF911p not a CF910. On those you set the Fiery up using a 2 line LCD Screen in the middle of front panel.

The CF910 with the internal Fiery had a LCD panel bolted on the right side of the copier.

Hi, as mentioned in other replies you require the fiery control panel to access the fiery if you have network problems, These are often removed when the machine is being relocated as it just screw onto the right hand cover and connects directly via a lead to the fiery,without it you cant reboot the fiery or get a config report, the control is about 3 inch square the a cable and i think a earth strap.

It should have the additional operating panel as marked with the arrow.
