This chapter provides a brief overview and instructions for installing
software on Windows 2000 workstations. Ensure that your printer is
properly connect and configured for your network. For details, refer to
the chapters Connecting to the network and Performing the setup from
the Printer Control Panel.
Use the contents of this chapter as follows:
• Depending on your configuration, use one of the following sections
to install printer drivers and set up appropriate connections:
• Parallel port printing
• TCP/IP and LPR printing (for a new installation or an upgrade
of Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000)
• IPX/SPX printing
• SPM printing
• SMB printing
• Specify printer options with the section Setting the printer options.
• If necessary, refer to the section Installing additional software for
Windows 2000.
All necessary files are included on the User Software CD.

Overview of installation
Installing the DocuColor 2006 user software includes the following:
• Installing the PostScript or PCL printer driver and corresponding
printer description files and setting up the printer driver to
communicate with the printer through the Add Printer Wizard
• Setting the printer options
• Copying additional files from the User Software CD as needed
Do not install these files using the Installer WebTool.
Before you begin
1. If your system administrator has not already done so, connect the
printer to the desired port on the workstation. For details, refer to
the chapters Connecting to the network and Performing the setup
from the Printer Control Panel.
If you are uncertain what type of network you have, contact your
system administrator.
2. Print a configuration sheet at the printer to obtain the name of the
printer and settings that will be used in the following procedures.

10. Installing user software in a Windows 2000 environment
Installing the user software for SPM printing
Standard Port Monitor (SPM) printing offers an alternative to LPR ports
when you want to send jobs to network printers over TCP/IP. SPM is
installed by default when TCP/IP is installed in Windows 2000.
SPM is more robust than LPR because it uses Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) to read the configuration of the target
printer and determine its status. If SPM cannot configure the target
printer using SPM default TCP ports and SNMP, it uses the LPR
protocol, if this protocol is provided by the printer. However, the
installation will still be as an SPM port.
Unlike LPR, SPM uses port 9100 as the default destination port and
randomly selects any open source port greater than 1023 as the
source port.
Before you continue, print a configuration sheet at the printer to obtain
the IP address assigned to the DocuColor 2006, as well as the Subnet
mask and gateway address, if they are used.
1. Perform steps 1-17 of the procedure Installing the user software

Installing the user software for SMB printing
Use SMB or WINS printing if you do not have a Novell network.
Printing by this method enables printing from a workstation to a
particular print connection (hold, print, or direct) on the DocuColor
2006. The following procedure assumes you have the TCP/IP protocol
and Client for Microsoft Networks installed.
To set up printing to a second or third print connection, repeat this
procedure for each and assign each printer a unique descriptive name
during the printer driver installation for subsequent identification
purposes.
1. If the system administrator has not already done so, go to the
printer and configure the DocuColor 2006 for SMB printing.
Specify whether to install the PostScript or PCL driver. Refer to
