an experienced network engineer.

Network administration features

DocuColor software offers several important features that affect you as a network or printer administrator:

• Direct (native) support of NDS with NetWare 4.x

NetWare 4.x can also be supported in bindery emulation.

OTE

NDS is an abbreviation for either Novell Directory Services or

NetWare Directory Services. The two names are used interchangeably.

• Simultaneous NetWare 4.x and NetWare 3.12 connections supported

One NetWare 4.x NDS server and up to eight NetWare 3.12 bindery servers (or NetWare 4.x servers in bindery emulation mode) can be connected to the DocuColor.

xii Introduction

• Remote utilities (Spooler and Downloader) for Windows™ computers

The utilities can be run from a Windows 95 workstation running IPX/SPX or from a Windows NT 4.0 Workstations or Windows NT 4.0 Server running TCP/IP protocols.

• WebTools (WebSpooler and Installer)

The WebTools allow you to manage the DocuColor from the Internet or from your company’s intranet. To use the WebTools, you need to set certain options in Network Setup and Printer Setup.

• Color calibration

AutoCal™ is a copier-based calibration option that doesn ’t require a densitometer. Two calibration targets are provided. For more information on calibration, see the

Guide.

• Support for Windows (WINS) printing

Windows printing, also known as WINS printing, allows you to print using built-in Microsoft networking support without additional network software. Printing by this method allows you to print from your computer to a particular queue (Print or Dir ect) on the DocuColor.

1-1 DocuColor on the network

Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up a DocuColor, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. If you check those references, you should be able to ﬁnd the information you need quickly.

DocuColor on the network

When the DocuColor is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the DocuColor supports the following network protocols:

• TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols) TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd proto-

col is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports Windows (WINS) printing. The http protocol is the protocol used for connection to the Internet.

• 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, 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 they can print to the DocuColor parallel port. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX protocols. The DocuColor is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.

When you add a DocuColor to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

• Physically connecting the DocuColor to a functioning network

• Conﬁguring the network server

• DocuColor 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 DocuColor—obtain cable and route it to the location where the DocuColor will be installed (near the copier), and attach the cable to the network interface of the DocuColor. See page 1-11 for details.

When network servers are required, you need to conﬁgure those servers to provide client access to the DocuColor as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 3 for conﬁguring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.

Conﬁgure the DocuColor for your particular printing and network environment. See Chapter 2 for details.

• Client setup

Install the ﬁles needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the DocuColor over the network. These steps ar e described in and some information is provided in Chapter 3 of this manual.

• System administration

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See Chapter 4 for details.

In the DocuColor Control Panel, conﬁgure Server Setup, Network Setup, Printer Setup, PS Setup, Color Setup, and Job Log Setup. Perform AutoCal calibration.

At each workstation that will print to the DocuColor:

• Install the appropriate printer drivers and printer description ﬁles (PPDs), and connect to one or more queues.

• For computers that will use them, install the remote utilities and an Internet browser.

• Verify the DocuColor in the list of printers and run a test print.

Quick path to installation

The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used for printing and for using the DocuColor 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. Note that multiple protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection from the DocuColor with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the same time.

OTE

The networking functionality outlined in this section is available on both Ether-

net and Token Ring networks. A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. Token Ring drivers are included with DocuColor system software. See Appendix A for details.

1-11 DocuColor on the network

Before you begin

The following steps should be completed before you conﬁgure the DocuColor and the workstations that will print to the DocuColor. A service technician will have performed some initial installation.

TO PREPARE FOR DOCUCOLOR INSTALLATION:

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 DocuColor.

While the DocuColor is turned off, verify that the SCSI terminator is installed on the SCSI connector on the back of the DocuColor.

3. To conﬁrm this connection, turn on the copier and the DocuColor 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 “DocuColor Control Panel” on page 2-3.) Choose Print Pages, and then Test Page.

4. With both the copier and the DocuColor turned off, connect the network cable to the DocuColor, as described in the next section.

The network should already be installed and operational.

5. Turn on the copier and then the DocuColor.

6. Prepare network servers to share DocuColor user software and to enable networked users to print to the DocuColor, and proceed to Setup.

See Chapters 2 and 3 for details.

1-12 Connecting to the Network

Ethernet cable connection

The DocuColor supports Ethernet cabling of three types:

• Thinnet (thin coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 2)

Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connector on the Ethernet interface of the DocuColor.

• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base 5)

Connects directly to the AUI connector on the Ethernet interface of the DocuColor.

• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), deﬁned as Category 5 (10BaseT or 100BaseT)

Uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the DocuColor.

NOTE: The DocuColor 100BaseT option is of type 100BaseTX, also known as Fast

Ethernet. If an Ethernet hub is used, it must be a 100BaseTX hub. Only Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling can be used with 100BaseTX. The term “100BaseT” is used in this manual to refer to 100BaseTX.

Shut down the DocuColor before connecting it to any network device.

NOTE: Do not attach the cable to mor e than one Ethernet connector on the DocuColor

at one time.

If the Token Ring option is installed, you can attach an unshielded twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the Token Ring board and attach a second cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet connector. For more information on Token Ring, see Appendix A.

TO USE THINNET CABLE:

1. With the DocuColor turned off, connect the transceiver to the AUI connector on the back of the DocuColor. Press down on the latch to lock the transceiver connection.

2. Connect the thinnet cable to the BNC connector on the transceiver.

3. Conﬁgure network servers for printing and then proceed to Setup.

TO USE THICKNET CABLE:

1. With the DocuColor turned off, connect the thicknet cable connector to the AUI connector on the back of the DocuColor. Press down on the latch to lock the connector.

2. Conﬁgure network servers for printing and then proceed to Setup.

TO USE UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR CABLE:

1. With the DocuColor turned off, connect the RJ-45 cable connector to the RJ-45 socket on the back of the DocuColor.

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 DocuColor can accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed parallel port. This connection is advantageous for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated networks using protocols other than TCP/IP or IPX.

The parallel port connection is active at the same time as the network ports.

TO USE PARALLEL CABLE:

1. With the DocuColor and the Windows computer or server turned off, attach the Centronics-type parallel cable to the parallel port of the DocuColor.

The parallel port is the top connector on the back of the DocuColor.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel port on the Windows computer.

3. Turn on the computer and the DocuColor.

4. Proceed to Setup.

To print to the parallel port, you will need to set up the parallel port connection. See “Parallel P ort S etup options ” on page 2-13. For information on setting up printing, see Getting Started; for printing to the parallel port, see the User Guide.

2-1 About DocuColor Setup

Chapter 2: Setting up the DocuColor

The DocuColor Color Server ﬁts into a variety of work environments. To prepare for printing at your site, you need to do some initial conﬁguration to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do.

About DocuColor Setup

When the DocuColor is powered on after new system software is loaded, you (or the service technician who loads the software) choose the language you want to use for Control Panel screens. After that, the S erver, Network, Printer , PS, Color, and Job Log Setups, in that order, must be conﬁgured from the Control Panel.

On Novell or Windows NT (using TCP/IP), and Token Ring networks, the network servers should be configured for printing to the DocuColor before you enter network settings on the DocuColor. The diagrams on pages 1-4 through 1-10 give chapter references for Network Setup.

You’ll need a live network connection so the DocuColor can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.

Whenever the conﬁguration of servers, printers, or the network itself changes at your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment. Likewise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the corresponding settings.

NOTE: Changing network or port settings may require that you make changes in more

than one Setup area.

2-2 Setting up the DocuColor

DocuColor Setup from the Control Panel

Setup, performed from the Control Panel right after powering on the DocuColor, conﬁgures the DocuColor to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs sent to it.

There are six groups of Setup options:

• Server Setup to specify system options

• Network Setup to specify all the active network systems that will transmit print jobs

to the DocuColor

• Printer Setup to specify the way print jobs and queues are managed on the color

server

• PS Setup to specify PostScript options

• Color Setup to specify color printing parameters

• Job Log Setup to specify how the DocuColor handles its log of printed jobs

The Setup menus also allow you to calibrate the DocuColor, create and change an administrator password, and clear the jobs queued on the server.

Accessing Setup options

The Control Panel on the front of the DocuColor enables y ou to set options and view information about jobs printed to the DocuColor.

It comprises the following parts:

• Display window showing status information and options for setting up the

DocuColor

• Line selection buttons

• Up and down arrow buttons

• Menu button (escape)

• Activity light that indicates normal or problem activity
