Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network
This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Pi5500 and includes diagrams
that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation.
Pi5500 on the network
When the Pi5500 is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PCL or
PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Pi5500 supports the
following network protocols:
•AppleTalk
•TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd
protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The SMB protocol supports
installing printer drivers through Point and Print and Windows (SMB) printing.
The http protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on
intranets.
• IPX/SPX (Novell)
IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.
These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each
other) are supported on the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX platforms and can run
concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can
print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or can print to the
Pi5500 parallel port.
When you add the Pi5500 to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator
will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and
servers.

• Configuring network servers
• Pi5500 Setup
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
Prepare a network node for the Pi5500—obtain cable and route it to the location
where the Pi5500 will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface of the
Pi5500. For details, see page 1-11.
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the Pi5500 as a PostScript or PCL printer. For information on
configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see
Chapter 4.
Configure the Pi5500 for your particular printing and network environment.
For details, see Chapter 2.
• Client setup
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the
client to the Pi5500 over the network. These steps are described in Getting Started,
and some information is provided in Chapter 4 of this manual.
•System administration
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise.
For details, see Chapter 5.

Quick path to installation
The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing
and for using remote utilities. To use the diagrams, find the page with your preferred
platform and network type. Then look up the setup procedures in the pages and books
referred to in the keys.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are
logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology)
of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each
logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star
configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical
networks is beyond the scope of this manual.
If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,
combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols
(shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection
from the Pi5500 with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be
operational at the same time.
The protocols used in these diagrams are indicated as follows:

Before you begin
The following steps should be completed before you configure the Pi5500 and the
workstations that will print to the Pi5500. A service technician will have performed
some initial installation.
TO PREPARE FOR PI 5500 CONFIGURATION
1. Print a copier test page to make sure the copier is functioning normally.
2. Turn off the copier and connect the interface cable from the copier to the Pi5500.
3. To confirm this connection, turn on the copier and then the Pi5500 and print a Test
Page from the Control Panel.
To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to display the
Functions menu. (See “Pi5500 Control Panel” on page 2-3.) Choose Print Pages, and
then choose Test Page.
4. With both the copier and the Pi5500 turned off, connect the network cable to the
Pi5500, as described in the following section.
The network should already be installed and operational.
5. Turn on the copier and then the Pi5500.
6. Prepare network servers to share Pi5500 user software and to enable networked
users to print to the Pi5500, and proceed to Setup.
For details, see Chapters 2 and 3.
1-12 Connecting to the Network
1
Ethernet cable connection
The Pi5500 supports Ethernet cabling with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable,
defined as Category 5 for use with 100BaseT or defined as Category 3 or Category 5
for use with 10BaseT. The cable plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the Pi5500.
NOTE: The 100BaseT type supported by the Pi5500 is 100BaseTX, also known as Fast
Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. The term
“100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.

When you connect the Pi5500 to the network, do not touch the pins of the Pi5500
!
TO USE UTP CABLE FOR 100BASET OR 10BASET
connectors with your fingers or any metal object. Such contact can cause a discharge of
static electricity that will damage the Pi5500.
1. With the Pi5500 turned off, connect the RJ-45 cable connector to the RJ-45 socket
on the back of the Pi5500.
2. Configure network servers for printing, and then proceed to Setup.
Parallel cable connection
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet and Token Ring, the Pi5500 can
accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed, bidirectional
parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and
workstations that use dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk,
TCP/IP, or IPX.
The parallel port connection can be active at the same time as the network ports.
TO USE PARALLEL CABLE
1. With the Pi5500 and the Windows computer turned off, attach the parallel cable to
the parallel port of the Pi5500.
For the location of the parallel port, see the illustration on page 1-12.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.
3. Turn on the computer and the Pi5500.
4. Proceed to Setup.
N
OTE: Be sure to use the parallel cable supplied with your Pi5500.
To print to the parallel port, you must set up the parallel port connection (see “Parallel
Port Setup options” on page 2-13). For information on setting up printing, see Getting
Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the Printing Guide.
