Preface
Congratulations on purchasing the Imagistics Electronic Document Processing System. These systems incorporate the im8130/im6530 digital copier with the ipc1-im8130 controller to provide a one-source solution for all your document copying and network printing needs.
This Administrator’s Guide provides detailed instructions for setting up the controller and installing client software, transforming the digital copier into a complete, network-connected, document processing system.
The controller software supports existing ipc1-im8130 controllers, simplifying setup, integrating procedures, and improving quality and dependability. Upgrading your ipc1-im8130 controllers increases their functionality. Because the upgrade is accomplished through software, hardware characteristics and features remain unchanged.
This Preface defines the scope and audience of this guide and introduces the system features and functions.
Introduction
The controller provides cross-platform support for Windows®, Macintosh®, and Unix® operating systems over a wide variety of network protocols,
including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, SMB, and AppleTalk. It supports both wired (Ethernet) and wireless networks.

The client software package and web-based device management utility provide unparalleled device and job control from the convenience of your desktop.
Who Should Read This Guide
This guide is intended primarily for Network Administrators or those responsible for setting up, maintaining, and managing Imagistics devices over the network.
A prerequisite for using this guide is a thorough understanding of your network environment: type, configuration, and terminology.
This guide is not intended for digital copier service technicians, operators, or end users. For information on using and maintaining the digital copier, refer to the Operator’s Guide for Copying Functions or contact your Imagistics authorized dealer for support. For information on using printer drivers and other client software, refer to the Operator’s Guide.
This guide assumes that you are a proficient user of your network management tools, such as Microsoft’s Server Manager and Novell’s NetWare Administrator. Although references are made to third-party software, detailed instructions for using these products are outside the scope of this guide.
Features and Functions
Whether you use the controller in a high volume, large office environment, centralized copy and reprographics center, or print-for-pay facility, the feature-rich client software affords all users the opportunity to output their documents with increased productivity.
Expanded Client Platform Support
The controller supports printing from Windows, Unix, Novell, and Macintosh operating systems.
Wireless Networking Support
The controller supports these methods of wireless networking:
Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) only, using a wireless Network
Interface Card (NIC) installed in the controller and a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) compatible access point nearby
Wireless LAN in conjunction with a wired Ethernet LAN
Wired Ethernet LAN with the wireless NIC used to communicate with
clients that are not connected to the network

Web-based Device Administration and Job Management
Printer Utility, an embedded web-based device management tool, allows you to perform device management functions over the Internet using either the Internet Explorer 5.0+ or Netscape Navigator 4.75+ browsers (Unix requires Netscape Navigator 4.76+ and Macintosh requires Netscape Navigator 4.78+). Printer Utility also allows end users to monitor and manage their print jobs over the Internet.
SNMP-based Communication
The controller incorporates Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) technology for device discovery and management.

The Print Scheduling feature allows you to specify the date and time you want to print your job. This can be especially useful if you want to avoid printing during peak hours.
Proof Printing
The Proof Print feature allows you to check the printed output on a sample copy before printing an entire multi-copy job. This prevents costly mistakes and ensures that you get the results you expect.
Private Printing
You can send a sensitive or confidential document to the copier and then release it for printing by entering a private Document Identification Number (DIN) from the copier Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) touch screen.
Document Management
You can use the Document Manager web-based utility to view, edit, merge, and store documents on the controller. You can then print your document using a web browser.
Queue-based or NDPS Novell Printing
The controller supports Novell’s traditional queue-based print services
and can function as either a network printer or a print server. Additionally, the Imagistics Novell Distributed Printing Services (NDPS) Gateway, distributed on the ipc1-im8130 Admin’s Client CD-ROM, allows
the controller to emulate an NDPS-aware printer. NDPS is available on the
im6530, im8130
Page 14
x ipc1-im8130 Administrator’s Guide
NetWare 4.11, NetWare 4.2, NetWare 5, and NetWare 6 releases. It moves away from the queue-based paradigm allowing you to more quickly and easily establish Novell print services.
Network Scan Support
The Network Scan feature allows you to turn a hard copy document into an electronic file. Once captured, you can store it on the network, retrieve it from TWAIN-compliant applications, upload it to an FTP server, or distribute it via e-mail.
Using the copier control panel or the Printer Utility, a web-based utility, you can configure scan and distribution parameters, including scan settings, transfer type, and distribution locations. Additionally, you can use Printer Utility to create scan templates that contain all required scan and distribution information. When downloaded to the copier, these templates provide a way to perform one-touch scan and send tasks from the copier control panel.
Another capability provided by the Network Scan feature is sending a scanned file as an Internet Fax job (iFax).
Controller Software
Printer Utility
With the Printer Utility in administrator mode, you can:
Configure network and device settings
View and filter message and job logs
Control current jobs
Shut down or reboot the controller
Print test pages remotely
Enable event confirmation and notification
Set the copier and print settings
Remotely configure network settings
Document Manager
Document Manager enables end-users to store, edit, and manage post­print (prior to hard copy release) and scan documents. It provides two predefined system folders, Department and Public, and creates a private folder for each user account.
im6530, im8130
Page 15
ipc1-im8130 Administrator’s Guide xi
Document Manager maintains a database of user information for registered users, including the user name, password, e-mail address and account description; and limits access to folders based on this information.
ipc1 Document Monitor
ipc1 Document Monitor provides end-users with a way of monitoring all jobs and controlling their own current jobs on the controller. With the notification feature enabled, end users are informed of copier or printing events, such as paper-out or cassette open, before they walk to the copier only to find their job incomplete or unsuccessful. ipc1 Document Monitor also provides a menu link to the Printer Utility in end-user mode.
Printer Drivers
The ipc1-im8130 Client CD-ROM and ipc1-im8130 Admin’s Client CD-ROM contain several printer drivers, filters and utilities to allow cross-platform printing to the controller from client machines running Windows, Unix, or Macintosh operating systems. They are described in detail below:
Windows Printer Driver
For the Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT operating systems, you can install these drivers for either controller to provide network printing:
PCL6
PostScript 3 (level 1, 2, and 3 compatible)
The PCL and PS printer drivers allow end users to define job properties from the orientation and resolution of their pages to complex finishing options such as booklet layout and multi-position stapling.
End users can also enhance their printed documents with image overlays and watermarks. Then, by using the Proof Print feature, they can check the output by printing a proof copy before printing an entire multi-copy job. Users can also employ private print mode, so that their secure or confidential documents are held until they enter the DIN at the copier. The scheduled print feature allows users to take advantage of off-peak hours to print large jobs.
Other features include print profiles, which allow users to define specific settings so that they can configure future jobs with a click of the mouse.
Other features that the printer drivers support are cover printing, sheet insertion, and page interleaving.

1 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The Imagistics Electronic Document Processing Systems consist of several integrated hardware and software components. The default installation settings are designed to suit the needs of most sites, so they may need adjustment for your network environment. Accordingly, forethought and planning play critical roles in a successful implementation.
This chapter describes how the various hardware and software components fit within the overall installation scheme and offers suggestions for devising your own installation strategy.
The Big Picture
The Imagistics im8130/im6530 Electronic Document Processing System consists of a Imagistics im8130/im6530 digital copier, ipc1-im8130 controller, and client software. At a high level, the steps for implementing the system include:
Install the digital copier, controller, and NIC.
Configure the controller software for your network environment.
This involves using the copier LCD touch screen to establish network­specific print services (Novell, Microsoft, Unix, or Macintosh), set up
im6530, im8130
Page 26
4 ipc1-im8130 Administrator’s Guide
wireless networking, optimize network settings, and customize device properties.
On networks running TCP/IP, you can also perform these functions using the controller embedded web utility, Printer Utility.
Install client software on your workstation, including the document
monitoring utility, ipc1 Document Monitor, and applicable printer drivers, filters, or PPD files.
You or your users can use the CD or Printer Utility to install client software on individual workstations.
Hardware Installation
Digital Copier
The Imagistics Electronic Document Processing System is installed by your certified Imagistics service technician usually prior to and independent of the network implementation.
Controller
Your Imagistics service technician also installs the controller, which is physically mounted on the back of the digital copier and connected to the PCI bridge board.
Network Interface Card
The controller ships with an embedded Ethernet NIC. To connect the controller to an Ethernet network, insert the network cable into the socket on the card.
To support a wireless LAN, you can install a Cisco Aironet 350 PCI
802.11b Wireless NIC.
Network Configuration
Once the service technician has finished installing the controller and copier hardware, you can configure the controller software.
Use the copier LCD touch screen to perform the following administrative functions:
Enable or disable the network cards.
Set the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
addressing mode to employ Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services, or manually enter the addressing information.
im6530, im8130
Page 27
ipc1-im8130 Administrator’s Guide 5
Enter the primary Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server IP
addresses.
Enable or disable the Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced
Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX) protocol and set the appropriate frame type.
Enable or disable Server Message Block (SMB).
Enable or disable the AppleTalk protocol and enter an AppleTalk
name and zone.
Enable wireless networking.
Set the device Name and workgroup.
Note: Many of these settings can also be made from a remote workstation using Printer Utility. In addition to system configuration, Printer Utility provides job monitoring and system management functions.
Depending on how you intend to use your controller, you may need to
perform specific administrative functions before establishing print services. For example, you may have to set up Novell printer and server objects.
Client Software Installation
At this point in the installation process, your controller and copier are fully functional. However, you cannot print to the copier from workstations connected to the network until you have installed the drivers (Unix filters or Macintosh PPD file) on the client machines.
Planning and Preparation
The following guidelines should make you aware of potential issues, but cannot take the place of your knowledge and experience in administering your network. Use them as a starting point from which to develop your installation plan.
Notify Users
Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, you want to limit the inconvenience to users. You should provide advance notification that walk-up functions and network printing will be disabled temporarily. We also recommend installing or upgrading your system during non-peak hours to minimize the impact on network traffic.

Consider Network Protocol Limitations
The following sections outline the various configuration options the controller supports as well as any limitations you may encounter.
Decide Whether to Use WINS Servers
The controller supports the WINS host name resolution service. Using a WINS server is optional but has several advantages, especially if you are using DHCP to dynamically assign IP Addresses (enabled by default):
Users can refer to the device by its name instead of its IP address.
Users do not have to look up the currently assigned IP address every
time they want to access the embedded web server.
It simplifies command line printing for LPR/LPD clients.
Determine the Printing Mode
Microsoft Print Modes
The controller supports the following Microsoft print services modes:
Peer to Peer (NetBIOS on TCP/IP and IPX/SPX)
Controller-Supported Protocols
Protocol Considerations and Limitations
TCP/IP
• Required to manage the device using Printer Utility.
• Required for LPD printing.
• If you are using DHCP for IP address acquisition, which may assign different IP addresses to the controller, consider setting up WINS servers for host name reso­lution.
• Imagistics does not support running the controller as a print server in a Novell environment over IP. However, you can use the controller as a printer agent if you set up NDPS printing.
IPX/SPX
• Running the controller as a print server in a Novell envir onment is supported only over IPX/SPX. NetWare 5.x and 6.x default to TCP/IP and must be reset to use IPX/SPX if you want to use the controller in this way.
• The frame type is set to
Auto Sense by default. To optimize the controller for your
network, you may want to set the frame type yourself.
AppleTalk
• The controller supports all Macintosh computers that use AppleShare, which includes all workstations running version 6.0.7 (or later) operating system, except for the Macintosh XL and 128K.

LPR/LPD on TCP/IP, provided Microsoft TCP/IP printing services are
installed on the client workstation
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) with an IPP port configured on the
client workstation.
Novell Print Modes
The controller supports the following Novell NetWare printing modes:
NetWare 4.x Bindery mode PSERVER or RPRINTER
NetWare 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x NDS mode PSERVER or NPRINTER
NetWare NDPS printer agent (using the Imagistics NLM-based
gateway)
Unix Print Modes
The controller supports LPR/LPD printing for the Unix Sun Solaris, HP­UX, IBM AIX, and Linux environments, providing you install the Imagistics filters.
Macintosh Print Mode
The controller supports the following Macintosh printing modes:
AppleTalk
LPR/LPD (over TCP/IP only)
Choose a Device Naming Convention
Device Name
Decide on a unique name for the device, such as the host name. Both Microsoft and Macintosh printing, and controller software updates require a device name.
By default, the Microsoft Computer name is set to GL<MAC Address>, where MAC Address is the unique Media Access Control address of the NIC installed in the controller. You may rename the device to retain consistency within your network. Choose a unique name of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
Do not use the underscore (“_”) or at (“@”) characters in the device (controller) name.
im6530, im8130
Page 30
8 ipc1-im8130 Administrator’s Guide
Workgroup Name
You cannot assign the controller to a Microsoft Domain. You must assign it to a workgroup. Both Microsoft print services and controller software updates require the workgroup name.
By default, the workgroup name is WORKGROUP. However, you can change it to retain consistency within your network. Choose a name of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
Analyze the Default Controller Network Settings
The following table summarizes the default controller settings. To adjust these settings locally use the copier control panel. To adjust them remotely, use Printer Utility.
Default Controller Settings
Property Default Setting Comments
TCP/IP (Ethernet)
Enabled Frame Type set to Ethernet II.
IP Addressing DHCP If you do not want to take advantage of your
network DHCP services, change IP Addressing to
Manual and enter the IP Address either locally or
remotely.
Gateway [blank] Specify the Gateway address if TCP/IP is enabled
and IP Addressing is set to Manual. Otherwise, use DHCP to set the Gateway address.
Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0 Specify the Subnet Mask address if TCP/IP is
enabled and IP Addressing is set to Manual. Otherwise, use DHCP to set the Subnet Mask address.
Primary WINS [blank] DHCP sets the primary WINS address or you can
do it manually.
Microsoft Device Name
GL<MAC Address><MAC Address> is the unique media access
control address of the NIC installed in the controller. The Microsoft Device Name is mandatory. It is used for both Microsoft and Macintosh print services.
im6530, im8130

Microsoft Workgroup
WORKGROUP The Microsoft Workgroup Name is mandatory for
Microsoft print services. Additionally, it is required if you want to update the controller software using Printer Utility.
IPX/SPX (Ethernet only)
Auto Sense The controller attempts to automatically sense the
IPX frame type. This facilitates automatic device discovery. However, if you are running a TCP/IP­only network, disable IPX/SPX to eliminate unnecessary network traffic.
NetWare Printing Disabled For NDPS support, you must configure the
controller as an NDS PSERVER or NPRINTER. NDPS is a separate software component NLM, which you must install on the NetWare file server.
Microsoft print services
Enabled Peer to Peer SMB/NETBIOS printing on TCP/IP or
IPX/SPX. The printer name portion of the port name is DSSC, which you cannot modify.
LPD Printing Enabled The queue name is DSSC, which you cannot
modify.
EtherTalk Phase II Currently, Macintosh printing is supported only
over EtherTalk; TokenTalk is not supported.
AppleTalk Name GL<MAC Address>
<MAC Address> is the unique machine address of
the NIC installed in the controller. AppleTalk Type LaserWriter You cannot modify this setting. AppleTalk Zone * Default (local) zone. If you have defined more
than one AppleTalk zone, the controller appears in
the default zone unless you specify another zone
manually. Macintosh
Printing
Enabled For Macintosh print services, you must have an
Ethernet NIC installed in the controller. HTTP Server Enabled The HTTP server is integral for device
management and job monitoring. Therefore, you
cannot disable it. IPP Enabled IPP works only over TCP/IP.

Modifying Protocol Settings Locally
The controller default protocol settings ensure quick and easy installation. However, you may want to customize the settings for optimal operation in your network environment.
Note: For a complete list of the default controller Network Configuration settings, refer to Analyze the Default Controller
Network Settings on page 8.
For example, the Auto Sense configuration setting for the IPX protocol is enabled by default. With Auto Sense enabled, the controller automatically determines the appropriate IPX frame type and issues SAP packets over the network. This default setting makes device discovery immediate and automatic. However, it generates IPX packets on any network, even one that only runs TCP/IP.
You can change the default network configuration settings from the LCD touch screen as described here. Alternatively, you can use Printer Utility to adjust network settings. For details, refer to Modifying Controller
Settings Remotely on page 53.

Master Browser Service
This is a component of the operating system and it is turned off by default. The browser service maintains a list of the domain name or workgroup name the computer is in, and the protocol being used for each computer on the network segment being served by the computer running the browser service. The browser on a given network segment provides a browse list to the client computers located in the same segment. Although it is unlikely for a controller to become the host of the browse list, even when the feature is turned on, it is recommended that the service not be used. An additional benefit of turning it off is reduced network traffic.
Server Service
This is a component of the operating system and it is turned on by default. The following are the effects on system operation when this service is disabled:
Shutting down the server service shuts down the browser service as
well

Creating and Using Department Codes
The Electronic Document Processing System uses counters to keep track of the number of pages printed, copied, and scanned. It displays these statistics as totals or by department.
Each department has a name and a corresponding five-digit code. With the department code feature enabled, if you enter a department code when using the printer drivers, the controller adds the number of printed pages to the counter for that department. When no department codes exist, the system assigns all prints, copies etc. to a default department called UNDEFINED.
If the department code feature is enabled, the administrator may enable department code enforcement from Printer Utility. If the department code feature is disabled, the department code enforcement option is unavailable.
When enabled, this option requires all users to enter a valid department code to print to the controller.
Note: There is no enforcement of department codes in Unix filters, Macintosh PPD files, or raw print jobs.
im6530, im8130

Displaying Print and Copy Totals
Regardless of whether the department code feature is enabled, you can click the Counters tab in Printer Utility to display the print and copy totals.
Department Code Functionality
There are three possible cases:
The department code feature is disabled
The department code feature is enabled, but enforcement is not
Both the department code feature and the enforcement option are
enabled.
Department Code Feature is Disabled
In this case:
The controller ignores any department codes submitted with a print
job and does not prompt you to enter the code. This applies to all jobs, including raw and non-Windows operating system jobs.
In the printer drivers, the Department Code label and Edit field are
disabled.
In Printer Utility, the Enforce Department Codes option is unavailable.
Only the Department Code Feature is Enabled
If the department code feature is enabled but enforcement is disabled:
In the printer drivers, the controller enables the Department Code label
and Edit fields.
If you enter a department code, the controller reports the code to the
copier and includes it in the print job, but does not check the validity of the code.
Similarly, if a Macintosh, Unix, or raw print job includes a department code, the code is not checked.
In Top Access, the Enforce Department Codes option is available.
VALID DEPARTMENT CODES
If the department code is valid, the system increments the appropriate department counter.
im6530, im8130
Page 72
50 ipc1-im8130 Administrator’s Guide
If you enter a valid department code other than the master department code, Printer Utility displays the counter totals for the department. You cannot change any counters.
If you enter the master department code, Printer Utility displays the counter totals and the counters for all departments. You can reset the counters of any department, but you cannot change the total counters. You can also delete any department and its code.
You can export the displayed counter information to a .CSV file.
I
NVALID DEPARTMENT CODES
In Printer Utility, if you enter an invalid department code you are prompted to enter a valid code.
In the printer drivers, if you supply an invalid department code, the system increments the UNDEFINED department counter.
Both Department Code and Enforcement are Enabled
If both the department code feature and the enforcement option are enabled:
In the printer drivers, you must enter a department code. The
controller not only reports the department code to the copier, but also confirms its validity with the copier.
If the code is valid, the controller queues the job for printing.
In Printer Utility, the administrator may disable department code
enforcement.
VALID DEPARTMENT CODES
The system handles these in the same way as when enforcement is disabled. See Valid Department Codes on page 49 for details.
H
OLDING JOBS WITH INVALID DEPARTMENT CODES
If the department code is invalid, the controller puts the job on hold in the Invalid Department Code (IDC) queue. The IDC job icon is enabled on the copier LCD touch screen. Press it to see the list of all jobs with invalid department codes.
The controller processes Macintosh, Unix, and raw print jobs that lack a valid department code as IDC jobs.
Printer Utility adds a submenu for IDC jobs, called Invalid, to the Print Jobs tab.
im6530, im8130
Page 73
ipc1-im8130 Administrator’s Guide 51
R
ELEASING IDC JOBS
To release jobs held in the IDC queues for processing, enter a valid department code or the master department code at the copier control panel.
After release, the controller queues the job for printing.
PURGING UNRELEASED IDC JOBS
The controller purges unreleased IDC jobs according to the Number of days
to save Private, Proof & Invalid Print Jobs
entry in Printer Utility and recorded in
the jobs log.
PROCESSING DOCUMENT MANAGER JOBS
Document Manager and Document Manager Print jobs also require a valid department code. If the code is invalid, the controller processes the Document Manager portion of the job normally and stores the document in Document Manager. It treats the Print portion of the job as an IDC job.
