NTRODUCTION
The Spla s h M Serie s d ig ital col o r print server turns your Xe rox col o r co p i e r into a netw o rk
color printer. By connecting the print server to your copier, and the print server to your
network, you create an extremely efficient, high quality, color printing solution.
M Series print servers are very easy to set up and use. They support all of your color copier
features and can be configured to work with the following major Ethernet network types:
• Ethernet using IPX or TCP/IP protocols
• EtherTalk using AppleTalk protocol
The M Series print server has the ability to run multiple network protocols (IPX, TCP/IP and
AppleTalk). It also auto-senses the data transmissi on speeds and frame types. The supported
frame types are Ethernet 802. 3 and 8 02.2.
Features
There are two models of print servers in the M Seri es; M310 and M410. Table 1-1 is a
summary of the M Series hardware features.

OWER UP/POWER DOWN PROCE DU RE
P
To power up the M Series print server for normal operation, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the copier and wait for it to reach a ready state.
2. Make sure there are no disks in the print server floppy drive.
3. Turn on the print server. As the print server powers up,
a. The green led illuminates, indicating that power is on.
b. The print server beeps—one long and two short.
c. After about 30 to 45 seconds, the green activity light on the floppy drive ill u m i-
nates briefly and the print server beeps—one short.
d. After about 45 seconds, the print server beeps again—two short, two long, two
short. This is a signal from the print server indicating that it is ready to accept
service utility disks. If a disk is not inserted, the print server will continue to initialize. The beeps are a normal part of the initi alization process.
e. The status indicator alternately flashes between yellow and red several times
then change to flashi ng yellow.
f. The print server prints its startup test page.
Be sure to power on the copier before turning on the print server. If the copier is not powered
on and ready, the print server may not set up proper communication with the copier.
To power down the M Series print server, follow these steps:
1. Wait for all jobs to finish.
2. Turn off the print server.
3. Turn off the copier.

M Series Print Server Overview
IEWER SECURITY
V
There are three class es of user modes (or privil eges) for the M Series print server; Ordinary
User, Operator, and Administrator. The print server system allows or restricts user ac cess
to specific print server functions depending on the users’ mode, as described below:
Administrator— Unlimited access to all Viewer features and functions, including the
ability to define the features and functions available to ordi nary users and operators.
Access to Administrator privil eges requires a password.
Operator—Restricted access to Administrator functions and other functions as defined
by the Administrator. Access to Operator privileges requires a password.
Ordinary User—Restricted acce ss to Administrator and Operator functi ons. Access t o
Ordinary User privileges does not require a password.
The print server can be configured with two passwords, one password for Administrator
access and one password for Operator access . I f you r site re quir es mult ipl e Administrator s
and Operators to manage the print server, these types of users must sha re the passwords.
Passwords are stored in a password file on the print server hard drive.When you log in as
Administrator or Operator, the print server system verifies the password against the pass-
word file before allowing you access to these privileges.

A NEW P
This section describes how to add new print servers to your workstation after the initial
workstation conf igurati on and s etup is per for med as des cribed i n the Splash M Seri es Ge tting
Started Guide (located on the CD-ROM that shipped with the print server). If your
workstation has not be setup and configured for the M Series print server, contact your
system administr ator.
As you read this section, keep in mind that the M Series print server can be configured with
two queu e s; Hold and Print. If you are connected to the Hold queue, all of the print jobs you
send to the printer are held (not printed) unt il they are moved from the Hold queue to the
Print queue. Th e Hold queue is useful for jobs that require some sort of user intervention,
such as, jobs that require unusual or special type of media.
On Windows networks, both queues are represent ed on the network with printer icons, but to
distinguish one queue from another, the printer icon name contains the word hold or print.
For example, the fac tory default names for the print and hold queues are Splash_hold and
Splash_print. Figure 1-2 is an example of how the queues appear on the network.

You can add either queue, using the pro cedures described in this section. Procedures for
adding a new print server to Wi ndows Workstations are described in the subsection that
follows. If you have a Macintosh workstation, skip ahead to Adding a Print Server to
Macintosh Workstations on page 15.

M Series Print Server Overview
Adding a Print S er v er to W ind ows Workstat io ns
To add the print server to your workstation printer folder, complete the following steps:
1. If you are using NT, log in as a local NT administrator.
2. Start Add Printer Wizard and follow the prompts.
a. When Wizard prompts you to specify whether you are installing a Local Printer
or Network Printer, specify Network Printer and click Next.
b. When Wizard prompts you for a network path or queue name, click on Browse
and browse for the M Series icon.
c. When Wizard asks you for the manufacturer and model, and if your client config-
uration supports the Viewer and you installed it,
1 )Click on Have Disk, then Browse.
2 )Go to Program Files\Splash\M Series and select either the
Windows95 or Wi nnt folder.
If your client config uration does not support the View er,
1 )Insert Splash CD-ROM in your workstation CD-ROM drive.
2 )Click on Have Disk, then Browse .
3 )Open the Win95nt40 or Winnt3x folder on the CD-ROM, then open the
appropriate language folder.
4 )In the la n g u age folde r, choose the oe m s etup.inf file, and click OK.
e. When Wizard asks you to specify a printer name, specify a name and append the
name with “_hold” if you are adding a hold queue or “_ print” if you are adding a
print queue. The reason for adding “_hold” or “ _print” is because both queues are
represented on the networ k as printer icons, as shown in Figure 1-2.
