The Getting Ready for the Xerox® FreeFlow® Print Server 6.0
Installation guide has been developed for you to use in the
gathering of the technical data required by the Xerox personnel
during installation of your customer’s print server hardware and
software. It is used in conjunction with the appropriate printer
installation planning guide.
Using the installation worksheets
The Xerox printer with FreeFlow Print Server software provides
a wide range of network printing services on industry-standard
networks, and consists of the following:
• A UNIX-based computer workstation with a Xerox interface
PWB and FreeFlow Print Server software installed.
• A supported Xerox printer.
Getting Ready for the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server 6.0
Installation contains the worksheets that must be completed to
support the installation of the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server
software on the server.
When these worksheets are completed they will contain a
record of the state of the system at the time of install. Most
likely, this setup and configuration state will change, so
encourage your customer to keep these worksheets with the
service record of the printer for future reference.
Your customer should not complete the worksheets if they are
not sure of the required information. Always encourage them to
contact the next level of technical support within their
organization for assistance.
NOTE: Worksheet W-5, the Novell NetWare gateway
installation worksheet, refers to on-site setup requirements that
your customer’s network administrator should already have
implemented prior to the FreeFlow Print Server install. The
values for the data elements entered during that setup activity
should be recorded on this worksheet.
