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

2-5 About DocuColor Setup

Running DocuColor Setup

When you restart the DocuColor and choose Run Setup, you can select one menu after another and enter information about your DocuColor and your network and printing environment.

In each Setup, the last line of the display window tells you the name of the current Setup menu. Most of the screens you see are shown on the Control Panel Map, a multiple-page ﬂowchart that can be printed from the color server. When the color server is displaying the Idle screen (shown in the ﬁgure on page 2-3), you can print the Control Panel Map by choosing Print Pages from the Functions menu, and then choosing Control Panel Map.

Types of setup screens

There are two types of setup options:

Multiple choice questions

You are given choices (for example, Yes or No, or a list of options from which to choose). Only one choice is displayed at a time, in highlighted text. The currently selected (or the default) value appears ﬁrst.

Information entry options

Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll through the selections, and choose OK when the correct information is displayed.

You must specify the information for your site. For example, the printer name or IP address.

In that case, use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll the alphabet and numerals to make your selection.

The cursor position is made evident, and two of the line selection buttons become left and right buttons. Arrows appear on the display window next to the corresponding buttons. Use these buttons to move between positions for entering information.

NOTE: When you enter text, enter it from left to right, as

the left-arrow button acts as a delete key as well as a cursormoving key. This is indicated in the display by the delete symbol ( ).

2-7 About DocuColor Setup

When you have entered all the settings or made all the changes you want, you need to save the changes. You are usually prompted to do so. If you choose Yes, your settings overwrite previous settings. If you choose No, your previous settings are retained. If necessary, the DocuColor reboots after you exit from the Setup menu.

Server Setup options

The Server Setup menu enables you to specify system information that pertains to the DocuColor itself and all users. Accessing the menu is described on page 2-2.

Exit Setup Server Setup Network Setup Printer Setup

Setup

When you choose Server Setup, the options appear in sequence, as described below. Default values, where applicable, are shown in square brackets.

Server Name

Default server name

Use this option to give the DocuColor a name (up to 10 characters long). Enter this name when you conﬁgure the Chooser list for utilities on IPX/SPX net-

works (see the Getting Started). If you have multiple color servers and give them the same name, a unique number is

appended to the name that appears in the Chooser. Although this routes jobs corr ectly, it may be inconvenient to users and is not a recommended practice.

Use this option to specify whether the DocuColor should print a start page every time it is powered on or rebooted. The start page displays information about the DocuColor, including the server name, current date and time, amount of memory installed in the DocuColor, last calibration date, network protocols enabled, and connections published.

When Print Start Page is set to Yes, the DocuColor must be connected to a copier before it can reach the Idle status screen.

Use Character Set DOS/Windows [Windows]

Use this option to specify whether the Control P anel should use the Windo ws or DOS character set for displaying ﬁlenames. This is important if ﬁlenames include accented or composite characters (such as é, ü, or æ).

For mixed-platform networks, choose the predominant client type, or whichever option gives better overall representation of the special characters you use.

Enable Printed Queue Yes/No [Yes]

Select Yes if you want to enable the Printed queue, a storage location on the DocuColor disk for recent jobs that were printed from the Print queue. Users with access to the Spooler or the WebSpooler can reprint their own jobs from the Printed queue without sending them to the DocuColor again. If you select No, jobs are deleted from the DocuColor disk immediately after they are printed.

Jobs Saved in Printed Queue 1-99 [10]

This option appears only if Enable Printed Queue is set to Yes. Specify the number of jobs to be stored in the Printed queue. Note that jobs in the Printed queue take up space on the DocuColor hard disk.

DocuColor printing connections

In DocuColor Printer setup you decide how the DocuColor manages print jobs by deciding which printing connections should be “published ” to users over the network. The Direct connection and Print queue are constantly checked for the pr esence of jobs. If you don’t want users to print to a connection, don’t publish it.

The DocuColor publishes two types of connections: the Direct connection and the Print queue. You must publish at least one connection to the DocuColor.

Direct connection

Jobs are transmitted to the DocuColor Dir ect connection only when the DocuColor is ready to print. They remain at the sending workstation until the DocuColor is ready, and are processed as soon as a prior job is ﬁnished, before the next queued job is processed.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the DocuColor hard disk. The jobs appear in the Spooler or WebSpooler displays of current jobs, but they cannot be selected for reprinting, moving or deletion. Therefore the Direct connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files.

2-32 Setting up the DocuColor

If you plan to download fonts to the DocuColor via the network, you must publish the Direct connection.

NOTE: You cannot use the Direct connection for lpd printing over TCP/IP.

Queues

A queue is a storage area for print jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print jobs are being sent to the DocuColor. When a job is printed to a DocuColor queue, it is stored on the DocuColor hard disk rather than the user’s hard disk, quickly freeing up the user’s workstation.

The DocuColor hard disk supports two queues (Print and P rinted). U sers may print to the Print queue only.

• Print queue—This is the standard DocuColor queue. The DocuColor prints jobs

from the Print queue in the order in which they were r eceived. I f you plan to use the remote utilities, you must publish the Print queue.

Exit Setup Server Setup Network Setup Printer Setup

Setup

Printed queue—The Printed queue is a job storage area on the DocuColor disk; it

•

contains the most recent jobs printed from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. A Server Setup option enables this queue and governs the maximum number of jobs retained in it at any given time (see page 2-8). Reprinting jobs in this queue requires the Spooler or WebSpooler.

Default Paper Sizes US/Metric [default depends on language]

Specify whether to print on US paper sizes (for example, letter, legal, tabloid), or Metric paper sizes (for example, A4, A3) by default. When no page size is deﬁned within a PostScript ﬁle, jobs are printed on Letter paper if you selected US, or A4 paper if you selected Metric.

Convert Paper Sizes No Letter/11x17->A4/A3 A4/A3->Letter/11x17 [No]

Specify whether to convert paper sizes in documents automatically to the default paper sizes speciﬁed. For example, if you selected Letter/11x17->A4/A3, a letter size document would automatically be printed on A4 paper. If you select No, the server only prints the document if it ﬁnds a media source in the size speciﬁed by the ﬁle.

Print Cover Page No/Yes [No]

Use this option to specify whether the DocuColor prints a cover (job summary) page at the end of each print job. If you select Yes, each print job is followed by a page containing the name of the user who sent the job, the document name, the color server name, the time the job was printed, the number of pages printed, and the status of the job. If a PostScript error occurred and the Print up to PostScript Error option is set to

Yes, the status entry will be the PostScript error message.

NOTE: If you intend to download fonts, be sure to set this option to No.

2-35 PS Setup options

Allow Courier Substitution Yes/No [Yes]

Specify whether to substitute Courier for fonts that are unavailable when you download PostScript ﬁles to the DocuColor, or when you print a document for which you do not have the corresponding printer font. If this option is set to No, jobs with fonts that are not available on the DocuColor hard drive generate a PostScript error and do not print.

Print to PS Error No/Yes [No]

Use this option to specify whether the DocuColor should print the available portion of a print job when it encounters a PostScript error. Select Yes to print the portion of the job that was processed before the error occurred; select No to cancel the print job entirely when a PostScript error is encountered. We recommend leaving this option at

No unless you encounter printing problems.

NOTE: If you intend to download fonts, be sure to set this option to No.

Enable Bypass Tray as Default No/Yes [No]

Select Yes to specify that jobs should be printed from the bypass tray. Use this option to enable printing from the bypass tray when tray selection is not otherwise available in the interface, such as when printing from the command line (lpr or DOS). In general, select No when the interface permits tray selection on a job-by-job basis.

Enable Sorter as Default No/Yes [No]

Select Yes to specify that jobs should be sorted by default. Use this option to enable sorting when the Sorter option is not otherwise available in the interface, such as when printing from the command line (lpr or DOS). In general, select No when the interface permits sorting on a job-by-job basis.

The CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary) used deﬁnes how color will be converted from RGB data to printed output. Photographic mode, designed for images, retains the relative balance between colors to maintain the overall appearance of the image. Presentation mode, designed for bright colors, produces the saturated prints needed for most business presentations but handles continuous tone images the same way the Photographic mode does. Solid mode, designed for spot colors, retains the absolute value of each color. This is particularly useful for images such as corporate logos.

2-37 Color Setup options

Administrative functions in the Setup menu

The remaining options in the Setup menu are intended to help you manage print jobs and color output, but are not required for printing:

•In Job Log Setup you specify whether you want the D ocuColor to print and clear its

log of printed jobs automatically. See the next section for details.

• Calibration enables you to calibrate the DocuColor from the server and lets you pre-

view the results of calibration. It also lets you remove a calibration. See the User Guide for a detailed explanation of calibration.

• Change Password enables y ou to create or change an administrator passwor d on the

DocuColor so that casual users cannot enter the Setup menus and change DocuColor settings without permission. In addition, an administrator password controls remote job management functions via the Spooler and the WebSpooler. A password created using the Setup menu prevents DocuColor users from reprinting print jobs, moving print jobs (changing their priority or their queue), and deleting or conﬁguring jobs, other than their own. See the User Guide for details.

• Clear Server clears all queued print jobs from the server—jobs in the DocuColor

Print and Printed queues. The Job Log is cleared at the same time. If an administrator password has been set, unauthorized users will not see this command (or any of the administrative or Setup options).

DocuColor Job Log Setup

The DocuColor Job Log is a record of all jobs pr ocessed or printed on the DocuColor, whether they originate from a user workstation, a networked server, the D ocuColor, or a computer attached to the parallel port. The J ob Log can be printed at any time fr om the server or remotely from a workstation running the Spooler or WebSpooler.

The printed Job Log lists accounting information about each job including user name, document name, time and date printed, and number of pages.

By default, the Job Log is not printed automatically or cleared automatically. You can change these defaults in Job Log Setup. You can also clear the Job Log from the Spooler or WebSpooler.

Calibration

The Calibration menu lets you calibrate the copier from the copier glass using AutoCal™ (automatic calibration). The Calibration menu also lets you remove the current calibration. When the DocuColor is calibrated, a color correction curve is applied to every color document that is processed for printing.

Calibration is based on a set of density measurements and a series of target density values for speciﬁc color patches. Calibration compensates for the difference between measured values and target values.

Normally you create a calibration by specifying a standard target to use with measurements that you took or measurements that you previously stored on the DocuColor. You can also specify an alternative target to be used with the current measurements. You don’t need new measurements to calibrate with an alternative target. When you

Apply/Overwrite Calibration, the currently speciﬁed target will be used with the

choose latest measurements on the color server.

3-1 DocuColor on an IPX network

Chapter 3: Setting up Network Servers

This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more network servers—Novell N etWare servers and Windows NT servers—that will share printing to the DocuColor Color Server. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the DocuColor. In addition, it includes some guidelines for setting up direct communication from Windows NT workstations and UNIX workstations, where a network server is optional. The chapter also outlines the requirements for network clients to print to the DocuColor and to run the remote utilities and the WebTools.

If your network is based on Windows NT, skip to page 3-18. If your network includes UNIX workstations, skip to page 3-29.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

DocuColor on an IPX network

The NEST (Novell Embedded Systems Technology) software built into the DocuColor supports the following network operating environments:

• NetWare 4.x—NDS

• NetWare 3.12—Bindery services

• Servers running NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation mode

The term “bindery server” is used to refer to a Novell ﬁle server running NetWare

3.12, or running NetWare 4.x in emulation mode. The term “NDS” is used to describe components of a NetWare operating system running NetWare 4.x in native mode.

NOTE: “NDS” is used interchangeably as an abbreviation for either Novell Directory

Services or NetWare Directory Services. There is no difference between the two.

NetWare clients print to the DocuColor through the Novell network server. Server setup and client network setup are outlined here. Client printing setup is described in the Getting Started, and printing is described in the User Guide.

3-2 Setting up Network Servers

The DocuColor can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare and Windows NT, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT or UNIX workstations. NetWare clients on Mac OS computers can print via the NetWare server. NetWare clients on Windows NT computers can print either via the NetWare server or directly.

The DocuColor can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. (Appendix A describes the Token Ring option.) During DocuColor setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for communication between the DocuColor and network servers. Frame type refers to the format of a communications packet; frame types are speciﬁed in a startup ﬁle when the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

In addition to printing, the remote utilities— Spooler and Do wnloader—ar e av ailable to Windows 95 users with IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols loaded. With these utilities, Windows 95 workstations are communicating with the DocuColor directly, not through the NetWare server.

Tips for experts—IPX networks

Setting up the DocuColor is similar to setting up another PostScript printer on the network. The following information is all that experienced network administrators need.

A DocuColor with IPX connections has these characteristics:

• Both NetWare 3.12 and NetWare 4.x are supported directly. NetWare 4.x is also supported through bindery emulation.

• A minimum connection to the DocuColor consists of a NetWare ﬁle server, a NetWare print server, and a NetWare queue.

• A single directory tree (for NetWare 4.x) and up to eight bindery servers can be conﬁgured simultaneously.

This limit is the same regardless of whether the DocuColor is connected to the network via Ethernet, via Token Ring, or both.

• The DocuColor looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

• Each print server can store jobs for any queue on the DocuColor.

• Windows 95 workstations (whether a Novell server is present or not) can use IPX/SPX protocols for communicating with the DocuColor directly to run the utilities.

3-3 DocuColor on an IPX network

Overview of IPX printing to the DocuColor

NetWare ﬁle servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare ﬁle server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation.

The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection and the Print queue on the DocuColor. The N etWare queue names should be given an extension corresponding to the DocuColor queue, as follows:

_print _direct

NOTE: The extension names must be in all lowercase.

There is no need to rerun Setup when adding or removing a NetWare queue; however you should reboot the DocuColor after a queue is created or removed.

When the DocuColor is conﬁgured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are transferred over the network to the matching connection: Print to Print, Direct to Direct. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. You can access the Job Log containing these records at any time.

3-4 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare ﬁle server so that networked users can print to the DocuColor from their workstations, and the DocuColor can obtain print jobs from the NetWare server.

For each NetWare ﬁle server that you conﬁgure, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections.

• Make sure the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.

• Log in as the Supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare ﬁle server.

• For NetWare 4.x installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 3-6).

• For NetWare 4.x in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 3-9).

• For NetWare 3.12 and for NetWare 4.x in bindery emulation, set up a ﬁle server, a

print server, and a print queue for the DocuColor (see page 3-12).

With bindery services, you can route all DocuColor print jobs through the same NetWare ﬁle server, or you can conﬁgure more than one ﬁle server to handle DocuColor jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, on the DocuColor, and on the client workstation, are summarized in the following tables. The ﬁrst table applies to NDS connections, the second to bindery connections.

Complete the operations in the left column, then the center column, then the right column.

3-6 Setting up Network Servers

Setting up an NDS connection

In NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Objects have a name, properties, and a context which deﬁnes the location of the object in the directory tree. For the DocuColor you are mainly concerned with deﬁning a printer, a print server object and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created in NetWare administrator programs (PCONSOLE or NETADMIN which are textbased, or NetWare Administrator which has a graphical user interface and context-sensitive help).

NOTE: “NDS” is used interchangeably as an abbreviation for either Novell Directory

Services or NetWare Directory Services. There is no difference between the two.

The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers (which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects). Access to objects is controlled by rights that are deﬁned as properties of each object. Rights are established by network administrators.

NOTE: The procedures that follow work with all versions of NetWare 4.x.

With NetWare 4.11 or later, you can combine the procedures using the Print Services Quick Setup dialog box.

TO CREATE AN NDS PRINT QUEUE:

1. Start NetWare Administrator and select the container in which you are going to deﬁne the print queue for the DocuColor.

2. Choose Create from the Object menu.

3. In the New Object dialog box, select Print Queue.

4. In the Create Print Queue dialog box, select Directory Service Queue.

5. Enter a name for the print queue with the queue extension: DocuColor_print, for example.

See page 3-3 for queue naming conventions.

6. Click the browser button to select a print queue volume.

tainer object that contains the print queue or queues.

Setting the NetWare 4.x bindery context

You can connect only one directory tree to the DocuColor. If you need to connect additional NetWare 4.x servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation, which causes the 4.x server to behave like and be accepted as a NetWare 3.12 server.

NOTE: The ﬁle server selected must not be in the same tree as that selected in NDS

Setup.

Up to eight bindery servers, whether in native 3.12 mode or in 4.x emulation, can connect to the DocuColor.

If your server is using NetWare 3.12, proceed to “Setting up a DocuColor print queue for bindery” on page 3-12.

In order to set up the NetWare 4.x server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the DocuColor, the network administrator must do the following:

• Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and

the print queue for the DocuColor will be created. The container deﬁnes the “bindery context” for your network structure.

• Edit the network startup ﬁle to set the bindery context

• Activate the new bindery context

This section describes the second and third steps. Given the variety of possible network structures, it is impractical to suggest a bindery context that applies to every network.

3-10 Setting up Network Servers

TO SET THE BINDERY CONTEXT:

1. Establish a connection with the server which will have the DocuColor queue.

This is best done by the network administrator using PSERVER from the server console. It can also be done remotely using the RCONSOLE utility.

2. At the NetWare prompt type load install.

The NetWare Server Installation window is displayed.

3. Use the down arrow key to select Maintenance/Selective Install.

The Installations Options menu is displayed.

4. Select NCF Files Options.

3-11 Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing

5. On the menu of available NCF ﬁles, select Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle.

6. Type a new line anywhere in the ﬁle as follows:

set Bindery Context = O=xx

NOTE: Instead of xx, type the bindery context obtained from the system administrator.

(In this example from a relatively simple directory structure, the Bindery Context is “TS”.) Also note that O in this line is the letter O, not the digit zero.

7. Press Esc to close the window, and save changes.

8. Proceed to the next section to activate the bindery context.

3-12 Setting up Network Servers

TO ACTIVATE THE BINDERY CONTEXT:

1. If you cannot reboot the NetW ar e server at this point, type the set command manually at the server’s colon prompt.

Use the same command as you entered in the AUTOEXEC.NCF ﬁle (in step 6 of the previous procedure).

2. If you can reboot the NetWare server, the set command is loaded automatically.

You are ready to set up the DocuColor print server and print queue. See the next section for details.

Setting up a DocuColor print queue for bindery

For NetWare 3.12 and for 4.x in emulation, the NetWar e print server and print queue for DocuColor are created and conﬁgured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE), a NetWare utility that is stored in NetWare’s PUBLIC directory.

As with NDS, ﬁrst you create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, then you select them in Network Setup on the DocuColor Control Panel.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

Before setting up client workstations for printing, make sure you perform Network Setup on the DocuColor Control P anel (see page 2-9), and that the settings reﬂect the entities you created in the NetWare administrator utilities (see page 3-4).

3-16 Setting up Network Servers

NOTE: For printing to the DocuColor, connect all Windows clients to a Novell Net-

Ware server and permit them to connect to the server or servers on which you deﬁned a DocuColor queue.

After the Novell server and the DocuColor have been set up, client setup consists of:

• Installing the networking protocol, binding it to the network adapter card, and

permitting the client to log in to the NetWare ﬁle server. On Windows 95 Workstations, both the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and the

Client for NetWare Networks should be loaded from the Network Control Panel. On Windows 3.1x workstations, the NetWare shell should be installed. On Windows NT workstations, Client Service for NetWare should be installed. Use the CSNW option in Control Panel to set printing options and specify a preferred NetWare server.

• Setting up the DocuColor as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer

driver and the DocuColor PPD (PostScript printer description).

• Adding a network port and connecting the workstation to one or more NetWare

queues that have been deﬁned for the DocuColor. See Getting Started for details on how to connect Windows 3.1x, Windows 95 and

Windows NT workstations.

• Installing other optional client software.

See Getting Started for details.

Conﬁguring Windows 95 workstations for remote utilities

To run the remote utilities, a Windows 95 workstation on an IPX network must have IPX/SPX protocols loaded and bound to the network driver. There should be a NetWare server on the network.

Before you begin, for Windows 95, install the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and Microsoft TCP/IP. After you have installed one or more utilities, you may uninstall Microsoft TCP/IP.

3-17 Conﬁguring a NetWare server for printing

The steps below summarize installing the utilities on a single workstation. The installation is described in the Getting Started in greater detail.

TO INSTALL THE UTILITIES:

1. Conﬁgure your NetWare server and perform DocuColor Setup.

2. In DocuColor Setup, perform Network Setup as summarized in the tables on Under Ethernet Setup, perform IPX/SPX Setup.

3. Save changes after Setup.

4. Insert the DocuColor User Software CD in the client w ork station and follo w the instructions for installing utilities found in the Getting Started.

5. When the Installer prompts you to select a network protocol, select IPX/SPX.

This choice installs the applications in a folder of your choice and installs a NET_WIPX.DLL ﬁle into the active System folder.

NET_WIPX.DLL is the NetLayer dictionary that the utilities need in order to run with IPX on Windows 95. You don’t change this ﬁle.

6. When you are prompted to ﬁnd the NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle, click Next.

The Installer copies a blank conﬁguration ﬁle to the Windows directory. The ﬁrst time the client runs one of the utilities this ﬁle is automatically conﬁgured (see Getting Started).

7. Before running a utility, print a Conﬁguration page.

From the Functions menu on the DocuColor Control Panel, choose Print Pages and choose Conﬁguration.

8. Find the IPX Ethernet or IPX Token Ring address and record the address exactly.

You will enter this address when you run a utility for the ﬁrst time (see Getting Started).

page 3-5.

9. Start the utility and conﬁgure the connection as described in Getting Started.

3-18 Setting up Network Servers

DocuColor on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT

When a Windows NT computer is conﬁgured to connect to the DocuColor using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the DocuColor. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT and Windows 95 clients. The client machines print to the DocuColor by printing to the Windows NT print server. Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT server machine.

Typical system combinations are:

• Print server running Windows NT Server; clients running Windows NT

Workstation and Windows 95

• Print server running Windows NT Workstation and clients running Windows 95

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can also run the remote utilities from a Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation computer. Windo ws 95 clients can also run the WebTools over TCP/IP.

If there are many Mac OS computers or other PostScript printers at the site, the Windows NT server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the DocuColor. You can load AppleTalk on the Windows NT server as an alternative to TCP/IP (see page 3-27).

Tips for experts—Windows NT with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows NT using TCP/IP protocols is similar in some respects to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT workstations, note the following:

• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the DocuColor and for an y workstations that will print to it or run the remote utilities.

• In DocuColor Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup>Ethernet Setup (or Token Ring Setup), enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address for the DocuColor. Also enter the Subnet mask and Gateway address.

• Make sure your DocuColor name and address are listed in a domain name services (DNS) or a host name database used by your system.

• Make sure your sy stem host table includes the corr ect internal name for the DocuColor as a remote printer. See page 3-30 for more information.

NT server (see the Getting Started).

The Windows NT PostScript printer driver is automatically installed with Windows NT 4.0. The DocuColor PostScript printer description is also provided on the User Software CD.

Each server and workstation running the utilities with TCP/IP also needs the TCP/IP protocol and the utility software.

The Installer installs a NET_WSCK.DLL ﬁle and a blank conﬁguration (NET_WSCK.INI) ﬁle. Running a utility for the ﬁrst time automatically conﬁgures the NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle.

Conﬁguring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor

To conﬁgure a Windows NT 4.0 or 3.51 server to communicate with the DocuColor, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections.

• Load the TCP/IP network protocol (see the next section).

• Enter the host name of the DocuColor in the host database used by your system (see

page 3-21).

• On the DocuColor Control Panel, perform Server Setup (see page 2-7), Network

Setup (page 2-9), Printer Setup (page 2-32), PS Setup (page 2-34), and Color Setup (page 2-36).

• On the Windows NT server, create a printer for each DocuColor queue, install the

appropriate printer drivers (if necessary), and (optionally) share the printer on the network (see page 3-23).

• Enter the host name and internal name of the DocuColor in the printer connection.

See page 3-30 for more information.

3-20 Setting up Network Servers

• If the Windows NT 4.0 server is also a workstation, install the remote utilities (see

Getting Started and page 3-26).

Loading the TCP/IP network protocol

If the TCP/IP protocol has not yet been installed on the Windows NT server, use the procedure in this section.

For this installation, you will need:

• Your Windows NT installation disks

• The IP address of the Windows NT server

• The IP address of the DocuColor (see page 3-29)

• The internal name of the remote printer (see page 3-30)

TO ADD TCP/IP NETWORK SERVICES :

1. Log in to the Windows NT server as Administrator.

2. In the Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.

The Network Settings dialog box appears.

3. Click Add Software.

4. In the Add Network Software dialog box, select TCP/IP Protocols and Related Components, and click Continue.

5. In the Installation dialog box, be sure to check TCP/IP Network Printing Support.

This supplies the necessary lpd protocol. If the item is grayed, it is already installed on your system.

6. Conﬁgure the Windows NT server with its own IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

For Windows NT conﬁguration options you can use with various host name systems, see your online or printed Windows NT documentation.

7. When you are ﬁnished conﬁguring TCP/IP choose Close and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

8. Add the DocuColor to the network (see the next section).

3-21 Conﬁguring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor

Adding the DocuColor to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT servers and Windows NT clients, use the directions in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also check the directions on page 3-31.

TO ADD THE DOCUCOLOR TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A WINDOWS NT SERVER :

1. On the DocuColor Control Panel, perform Server Setup, Network Setup and Printer Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the DocuColor, Subnet mask, and Gateway address). In Printer Setup, publish the Print queue.

2. Register the IP address of the DocuColor in the host name database used by your system.

For installations that don’t have a network administrator or a central host name database, add the DocuColor to the hosts ﬁle on the Windows NT server. Also add it to the hosts ﬁle on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the remote utilities.

Adding a DocuColor entry to the Windows NT hosts ﬁle

The hosts ﬁle maps remote devices to IP addresses. Host names are used in TCP/IP environments to locate IP addresses. Users can then communicate with any device ov er TCP/IP by using the host name rather than having to remember its IP address.

A generic hosts ﬁle is added to the Windows directory when you install TCP/IP support.

NOTE: If there is no system-wide host name database, use the following procedure to

create a local hosts ﬁle. If there is a system-wide host database, skip the following procedure.

3-22 Setting up Network Servers

TO ENTER THE HOST NAME OF THE DOCUCOLOR:

1. On the Windows NT server and on each client computer, navigate to the hosts ﬁle that you use for your network or for your local computer.

The path to a local hosts ﬁle will resemble the following:

c:\WINNT\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

2. Open the hosts ﬁle with any ASCII text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or Edit (DOS).

3. Type an entry for the DocuColor (IP address and host name) similar to the other entries in this ﬁle.

The Windows NT hosts ﬁle provides compatibility with the UNIX hosts ﬁle. The

hosts ﬁle is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same

format as the /etc/hosts ﬁle on UNIX servers. The form of the hosts entry is:

IP Address<TAB>host name<TAB>#comments

where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.

NOTE: Type the entry exactly as shown, without a space befor e the IP address. The host

name should be the same name you gave to the DocuColor in the Server Setup on the Control Panel.

A sample entry for the DocuColor as the remote computer/printer, in which we’ve deﬁned the host name of the printer as

192.9.228.1<TAB>colorsvr<TAB>#DocuColor Color Server

NOTE: If the DocuColor has already been deﬁned in an /etc/hosts ﬁle or equivalent

host name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the /etc/hosts ﬁle.

4. Save the ﬁle as “hosts” and exit the application.

3-23 Conﬁguring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor

Installing the DocuColor as a shared PostScript printer

The ﬁrst step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer driver and the DocuColor PPD (PostScript printer description), which gives your applications access to printer features.

The installation instructions in Getting Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the DocuColor. However, if you are an administrator running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the network. When a printer is shared, clients who are not able or are not given permission to establish an independent network connection to the DocuColor have to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the DocuColor printer ﬁles. If you have not yet installed the DocuColor printer ﬁles on the Windows NT print server computer, do so now following the instructions in the Getting Started. During installation, enter the information necessary to share the DocuColor.

If you have already installed the DocuColor printer ﬁles on the computer you are using as a Windows NT print server, use the following procedure to share the DocuColor.

TO MAKE THE DOCUCOLOR A SHARED POSTSCRIPT PRINTER ON A WINDOWS NT 4.0 COMPUTER :

1. Click Start>Settings>Printers to open the Printers window.

2. Select the DocuColor.

3. Open the Properties dialog box (right-mouse click and choose Properties) and click the Sharing tab.

4. Select Shared and enter a share name for the DocuColor.

Use a DOS-compliant share name if your network includes W indo ws for Workgroups clients. Use a name that indicates the DocuColor queue if you wish to publicize that information.

5. In the Alternate Drivers window, select all operating systems used by client workstations from which the print server will accept print jobs.

6. Click OK.

TO INSTALL THE DOCUCOLOR AS A SHARED PRINTER ON A WINDOWS NT 3.51 COMPUTER:

(Name of driver you installed)

3-24 Setting up Network Servers

1. On the Windows NT 3.51 print server computer, install the printer driver and printer ﬁle for Windows NT 3.51 clients as described in the Getting Started.

If the client has never installed the Windows PostScript printer driver, you also need the Windows NT Installation CD to install the driver. If the PostScript printer driver is already present on the client computer, type the path to the driver when you are prompted to locate the driver.

2. In the Create Printer dialog box, check Share this printer on the network.

(Name you gave to the printer)

Enter a share name here

3. Enter the share name of the printer.

By default, Windows NT creates a DOS-compliant shar e name. Use a DOS-compliant name if your network includes Windows for Workgroups clients. Use a name that indicates the DocuColor queue if you wish to publicize that information.

4. Enter the location of the printer in the Location box (optional).

5. Follow the procedure to set up TCP/IP and lpd printing for Windows NT 3.51 Workstations, as described in the Getting Started.

After you have ﬁnished conﬁguring the printer, the DocuColor appears in its own Printer window in the P rint M anager window. You can use the Print Manager window to track network print jobs. Print Manager only shows jobs from computers printing through the Windows NT print server. For a view of all DocuColor activity, use the Spooler or the WebSpooler.

3-25 Conﬁguring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor

Your Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, and Windows 95 clients have access to the shared printer through their applications. They will not be able to change settings in the Printer Properties dialog box.

Conﬁguring Windows NT clients

Each client of a Windows NT server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the DocuColor if it has been shared by a Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation computer. In that case the client does not have to use the same network protocol to connect to the Windows NT server as the server uses to communicate with the DocuColor.

TO CONNECT AND PRINT TO THE DOCUCOLOR SHARED BY THE WINDOWS NT SERVER:

• For Windows 95 clients, before printing, double-click the Windows NT server icon in the Network Neighborhood window, and double-click the printer name.

You will be prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add Printer Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the steps in the Getting Started.

• For Windows NT 3.51 Workstation clients, before printing, open the Print Manager. From the Printer menu, choose Connect To Printer. Select a printer from the Shared Printers list, or double-click a network, workgroup, or server icon to show additional printers.

• For Windows NT 4.0 Workstation clients, before printing, connect to the print server computer and select the DocuColor. Right mouse click and choose the Open command. When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.

After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup, Page Setup or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing options for their own job, but printer properties are grayed and not available for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the Windows NT print server, and from there to the selected queue on the DocuColor. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the DocuColor window in the Print Manager on the Windows NT print server.

3-26 Setting up Network Servers

Conﬁguring Windows NT workstations for remote utilities

To run the remote utilities on a TCP/IP network, the workstation must be running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation, with Microsoft TCP/IP protocols loaded and bound to the network driver.

TO ENABLE THE UTILITIES ON THE DOCUCOLOR:

1. Perform DocuColor Setup and enable TCP/IP.

In Network Setup, choose Protocol Setup and perform TCP/IP Setup and Ethernet Setup. (Perform Token Ring Setup if the Token Ring option is installed.) Enabling TCP/IP automatically enables the communication for utilities.

2. Set a valid, unique IP Address for the DocuColor, and then set the subnet mask and a gateway address if necessary.

Before you exit Network Setup, you can also choose Service Setup and enable Web Services (see page 3-28).

3. Save changes after Setup.

Performing these steps once enables the utilities connection for all users on the T CP/IP network.

TO SET UP UTILITIES ON ANY WORKSTATION:

1. Insert the DocuColor User Software CD in the Windows NT workstation and follow the instructions for installing utilities in Getting Started.

2. When the Installer prompts you to select a network protocol, select TCP/IP.

This choice installs the applications in a folder of your choice, and automatically places the NET_WSCK.DLL ﬁle into the active System folder.

NET_WSCK.DLL is the NetLayer dictionary that the utilities need in order to run with TCP/IP on Windows NT. You don’t change this ﬁle.

3. When you are prompted to ﬁnd the NET_WSCK.INI ﬁle, click Next.

The Installer copies the unconﬁgured ﬁle to your Windows directory. The ﬁrst time the client runs one of the utilities, this ﬁle is automatically conﬁgured.

3-27 Using AppleTalk with NetWare servers

Using AppleTalk with NetWare servers

Users can print to the DocuColor from Mac OS computers via a N etWare print server. The AppleTalk protocol must be loaded on the NetWare server before you can set up the server to accept jobs from Mac OS clients. Then use the ATPSCON (AppleTalk Print Services) utility to conﬁgure a NetWare spooler for AppleTalk. The important settings for the spooler conﬁguration are listed below.

• NetWare Print Queue should be set to a DocuColor print connection.

• Printer Model should be set to Generic PostScript.

• Spooler’s AppleTalk Name should include DocuColor and possibly the name of the

print connection (Print or Direct). This name appears in the Mac OS Chooser.

• Spooler’s AppleTalk Type can be set to any setting. This setting has no effect.

• Spooler’s AppleTalk Zone should be set to the appropriate zone.

• Banner Page with Jobs should be set to No.

• Advanced PostScript Options > Accept Binary Data should be set to Yes.

• Advertise Color Device should be set to Yes. After the NetWare spooler has been conﬁgured, set up Mac OS client computers for

printing to the DocuColor as described in Getting Started.

Using AppleTalk with Windows NT

Windows NT servers can also use AppleTalk for printing with the DocuColor.

The important thing to note, in creating a printer that you are sharing with AppleTalk users, is NOT to “ capture ” the printer. Capturing the printer forces all users to print to the server rather than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, DocuColor queues will not appear in the Mac OS Chooser.

Loading the AppleTalk protocol on a Windows NT server is very similar to loading TCP/IP. If you are only using AppleTalk, you do not need an IP address or a Windows NT hosts ﬁle entry for the DocuColor queue or queues.

3-28 Setting up Network Servers

Install the Windows NT PostScript Printer driver and the DocuColor PPD for your Windows NT server and for your Windows NT and Windows clients. Mac OS users can print directly to the DocuColor and should install the AdobePS printer driver for the Mac OS and the DocuColor PPD. All of these installations are described in Getting Started.

Conﬁguring the DocuColor and clients for WebTools

The WebTools duplicate many of the functions of the utilities. Because they are accessed via the Internet (or your company’s intranet) and are platform-independent, they provide additional ﬂexibility in remote management.

TO SET UP WEBTOOLS ON THE DOCUCOLOR:

1. Perform DocuColor Setup and enable TCP/IP.

2. Set a valid, unique IP Address for the DocuColor, and then set the subnet mask and a gateway address if necessary.

3. Exit TCP/IP Setup and exit Protocol Setup.

4. Choose Service Setup, and choose Web Services Setup.

5. For Enable Web Services, select Yes.

6. Exit Service Setup and exit Network Setup, and select Yes at the Save Changes screen.

7. In DocuColor Printer Setup, conﬁrm that Publish Print Queue

8. Exit Printer Setup, and select Yes at the Save Changes screen.

TO SET UP WEBTOOLS ON A CLIENT WORKSTATION:

1. Enable TCP/IP networking.

2. Make sure the workstation has a valid, unique IP address.

is set to Yes.
