also included.
PCL is not available on Mac OS computers.
• Support for Windows (SMB) printing
Windows printing, also known as SMB (Server Message Block) printing, allows you to
print on TCP/IP networks using built-in Microsoft networking support and without additional network software. Printing using SMB allows you to print from your computer
to a particular connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the DocuColor 4 LP/CP.
xiii
Before You Begin
Before using the DocuColor 4 LP/CP, follow these general steps:
Confirm that the system administrator has completed printer/copier Setup as described in the this manual.
Find out what printer/copier defaults the administrator specified in Setup.
These default settings can affect the results of your print jobs. Check with your
administrator or operator for information on these default settings.
Confirm that the user software is installed correctly on your workstation, as described in the User Guide.
Find out what your access privileges are.
Your system or site administrator may or may not have set a password on the
printer/copier. If a password has been set, it will be required to perform job management with WebSpooler or printer/copier setup with WebSetup.
Levels of access and control
The DocuColor 4 LP/CP can be password protected, providing a level of control for printer/copier administrators. The password determines whether a
user can modify Setup options, and whether a user has control over print
jobs in the WebSpooler queues, or copiy jobs from the scanner.
By default there is no printer password. Once an Administrator password has
been set, users are required to enter it to access Setup menus or to access the
WebSetup screens.
The copier has a factory preset password for the System Administrator of
9999. For security reasons, the System Sdministrator should change this
password as soon as possible. This Administrator password restricts access
to copier configuraiton ssettings. For more information see section 5 of this
guide.
xiv
Print connections
If your DocuColor 4LP has a hard disk drive, you can print to the Print Hold
queues as well as the Direct connection. If your DocuColor 4LP does not
have a hard disk drive, only the Direct connection is available for printing.
All docuColor 4 CP products include a hard drive.
Direct connection
Jobs sent to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP Direct connection remain at the sending
workstation until the DocuColor 4 LP/CP is ready to print. They are transmitted to the printer and processed as soon as any prior job is finished printing.
Jobs sent to the Direct connection appear in the display of current jobs in
WebSpooler, but they cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion,
providing a measure of security for sensitive files. If you plan to download
fonts to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP via the network, you must download them to
the Direct connection.
You cannot use the Direct connection for lpr printing over TCP/IP. You can,
however, use this connection for downloading fonts.
Queues
Print queues (Print queue and Hold queue) are available on the printer/copier.
A queue is a storage area on the printer’s hard disk that is reserved for print
jobs. Queues are particularly useful when many print jobs are being sent to
the printer. When a job is printed to the Print queue or the Hold queue, it is
stored on the DocuColor 4 LP/CP hard disk rather than the user’s hard disk,
quickly freeing up the user’s workstation.
• Print queue - Files sent to the Print queue are spooled to the printer’s
hard disk drive. The DocuColor 4 LP/CP prints jobs from the Print queue
in the order in which they were received.
• Hold queue - Files sent to the Hold queue remain on the printer’s hard
disk drive until they are printed or deleted using WebSpooler. (For more
information see the User Guide.)
• Printed queue - The Printed queue is a job storage area on the DocuColor
4 LP/CP disk; it contains the most recent jobs printed from the Print queue.
The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint those jobs. A Setup option enables this queue and determines the maximum number of jobs retained in it at any given time. Reprinting jobs in this queue requires
WebSpooler and an Administrator password, if one has been set.
xv
Password
You can implement a password on the printer/copier as a means of controlling access to DocuColor 4 LP/CP functions. The Change Password option,
which enables you to set or change the Administrator password, can be set in
the System Setup menus, or it can be set in WebSetup screens. Once set,
users must enter the password in order to access the printer’s Setup menus,
to access WebSetup screens, and to use Administrator controls of
WebSpooler.
Also, copier password limits access to the machine. See Section 5 for more
detailed information.
Fiery WebTools
Fiery WebTools, software that allows you to remotely manage your printer/
copier and print jobs via the Internet or your company’s intranet, come preinstalled on the DocuColor 4 LP/CP. Fiery WebTools are supported on Mac
OS, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT 4.0 computers. To enable use of Fiery
WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:
• Set Enable TCP/IP to Yes.
• Set an IP address for the DocuColor 4 LP/CP.
• Enter a TCP/IP gateway address and subnet mask, if they are used.
The WebDownloader is not available on Mac OS computers.
Control level scenarios
Printer/Copier access and control features are described below. Choose the
scenario that best matches your site requirements.
It is recommended that you set an Administrator password to prevent unauthorized changes to system settings.
No designated administrator
All users have access to all printer functions. On the copier, the
Administrator password is always enabled.
A designated administrator
Only an administrator has access to all system functions, including
configuration Setup, clearing the job log and printed queues, formatting
the printer’s hard disk, performing color calibration, and managing all
jobs from remote workstations via WebSpooler.

1.1 The printer/copier on the network
The built-in 10BaseT/100BaseT Ethernet interface on the DocuColor 4 LP/
CP supports the following network protocols:
• AppleTalk
• TCP/IP (the lpr, nbt, and http protocols)
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The
lpd protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol
supports Windows (SMB) printing. The http protocol is commonly used
for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets.
• 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 Mac OS, 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 4 LP/CP parallel port.
When you add a DocuColor 4 LP/CP to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and
connected workstations and servers.
• Token Ring
Xerox Corporation provides as an option the Token Ring Card. Token Ring
can operate at 4 or 16 Mbps.
The Token Ring is mounted internally and connects to the PCI port on the
EFI controller.

1.2 Stages of installation on the
network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The
stages of a successful installation are:
• Physically connecting the DocuColor 4 LP/CP to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the DocuColor 4 LP/CP- network cable and
route it to the location where the DocuColor 4 LP/CP will be installed, and
attach the cable to the network interface of the DocuColor 4 LP/CP.
See page 5 for details.
• Configuring network servers
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers
to provide client access to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP as a color PostScript or
PCL printer/copier.

See Chapter 4 for information on configuring network servers in Windows
environments.
• DocuColor 4 LP/CP Setup
Configure the DocuColor 4 LP/CP 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 4 LP/CP over the network. These steps
are described in the User Guide.
• System administration
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that
arise.
See Chapter 6 and the User Guide for details.

and DocuColor 4 LP/CP users.
No special configuration or
AppleShare server is required.
From the DocuColor 4 LP/CP control panel, configure System Setup,
Printer Setup, Network Setup, PS
Setup, and PCL Setup.
At each workstation that will
print to the DocuColor 4 LP/CP:
Install the appropriate printer/copier drivers and
printer/copier description files, and connect to
one or more print connections.
For computers that will use the WebTools, install an Internet browser.
Verify the DocuColor 4 LP/CP in the list of printers and run a test print.

1.3 Quick path to installation
The diagrams in the following pages show typical systems that can be used
for printing and for using Fiery WebTools. 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 4 LP/CP with an
arrow indicates that other supported network types can be operational at the
same time.
