Document Introduction

The purpose of this Technical Information Guide (TIG) is to serve the informational needs of System Administrators with a reference providing the platf orm-specific information necessary during th e DocuPrint network setup and configuration. Softw are-related information is organized by platform-specific chapters.

Purpose of this

Section

Objective

Requirements

The purpose of this introductor y section is to give a brief over view of the net work in stallat ion process, and to provide a guide to the information contained in this Technical Information Guide (TIG).

Using the information contained in this document, System Administrators will be able to conn ect th e DocuPrint printer to their network, configure the printer for optimum printing performance, and tro uble s hoot printing problems.

To correctly install and configure your printer based on the information in this document you will need:

• A DocuPrint network printer or a printer with a X erox CentreDirect Extern al P rint Server (Externa l Ethernet Adapter).

• A Windows, Macintosh, UNIX or OS/2 wo rkstat ion with appropriate operating system software installed.

• A working knowledge of your operating system and your network topology.

In this manual there are many examples utilizing Ethernet. These same examples apply to Token Ring if that option is installed.

Overview

The purpose of this Connection & Setup chapter is to outline the physical connection and configuration of your DocuPrint printer for use on a network. This task would ordinarily be performed by an expe rienced System Administrator.

Objective

Requirements

The objective of this chapter is to enable you to:

• Identify the overall steps to physically connect and

configure your printer to work with your n etwork.

• Connect network cabling to your printer.

In general, the requireme nts needed for printer connection and se tup include:

• Appropriate cabling to link the printer t o your

network.

• A working knowledge of your network cabling scheme

(for example, coaxial cable; shielded or un shield ed twisted pair; RJ45 or DB9 connection).

Quick Steps For Connection & Setup

Quick Steps for printer conn ecti on and setup, for use by the experienced System Administrator, are provided within this section.

Quick Steps common to virtually all plat forms include:

1. Install cabling to link the Network Interface to your network.

2. Print a Configuration Sheet to determine the printer’s current Network settings. See the section “Print the

Configuration Sheet” (page 2-21)

3. If you are connecting this printer using TCP/IP protocol, refer to the section “Set An IP Address”

(page 2-6)

4. Go to the appropriate chapter(s) within this Technical Information Guide (TIG) covering your workstation Operating System and follow the setup instructions provide d.

5. If your job doesn’t print correctly, refer to the Troubleshooting section within the applicable Operating System chapter of this TIG for problem-solvin g info rmation .

Chapter 2: Connecting to Your Network ❖ 2-5

Set An IP Address

Your DocuPrint printer can b e se t up on a variety of TCP/ IP networks. There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP address depe nding on your network.

• Static Addressing TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the System

Admini strator.

• Dynamic Addressing RAR P /BOOTP TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.

• Dynamic Addressing DHCP (Dynamic Host Resolution Protocol)

TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server.

This section contains procedures for each of these methods. Determine which method will be used for your network and follow the steps of the appropriate procedure.

The foll owing examples refer to Ethernet but are a lso applicable to Token Ring if you have that option.

Set An IP Addr ess

Static Addressing

The printer is assigned a T CP/IP address by a network administrator. The address can be set at the control panel or by using ARP and telnet commands.

If you u se the X erox CentreDi rect External Print Server (External Ethernet Adapter) to connect your printer to the network, you cannot use the control panel to set a Static IP Address. Use the ARP and telnet procedures that are described in the sections for Windows or Unix Operating Systems.
