by a brief explanation if needed. For example:
1. Choose Options in the Print dialog box.
Special options for your printer are available if you have installed the PostScript Level 2
driver and the PPD for your printer.
A special font indicates text you should type or keys you should press. For example:
<Tab>
indicates that you should press the Tab key.
• At the NetWare 4.x drive prompt, type:
rconsole
The special font is also used to highlight options that appear in DocuColor setup
menus. For example:
This option appears only if
Enable Parallel Port

1-1 DocuColor on 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 Inter-
net.
• 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 con-
nections 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
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 to a functioning network
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.
• Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide cli-
ent access to the DocuColor as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 3 for configur-
ing network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments.
• DocuColor Setup
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 G etting Started,
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.

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.
NOTE: 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 soft-
ware. See Appendix A for details.

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 10Base2)
Uses an external transceiver to attach to the AUI (attachment unit interface) connec-
tor on the Ethernet interface of the DocuColor.
• Thicknet (thick coaxial Ethernet cable or 10Base5)
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.

Back view of the DocuColor
Shut down the DocuColor before connecting it to any network device
.
NOTE: Do not attach the cable to more 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 con-
nector 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 Cen-
tronics-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
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. Like-
wise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the corre-
sponding 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
