Network Printing with Xerox Color Printers

This guide provides information to help you quickly install your printer in the following environments:

■

Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME

■

Windows NT 4.x and Windows 2000

■

Novell NetWare

■

EtherTalk

For information on installing the printer in UNIX environments, see the CentreWare

Services for UNIX Systems Quick Install Guide.

The PostScript utility files on the printer’s CD-ROM can be sent to the printer for network configuration in DOS environments. Before you begin network configuration:

■

Set up your printer and connect it to the network. See your printer’s user documentation for information about setting up the printer. For information about connecting the printer to the network, see page 3.

For NetWare environments. To speed the setup process and avoid conflicts, familiarize yourself with the components of your network. You should know which version(s) of NetWare are installed, which versions of client software are used, and the network topology (frame types, routers, hubs, and cabling).

Networking Setup Guide 1

Network Printing with Xerox Color Printers

Configuration Page

The information supplied on the Configuration Page is helpful when you are installing and configuring the printer on a network. There are two ways to print the Configuration Page:

Printing a Configuration Page From the Front Panel

Use this method if your printer is not yet configured on the network.

1. With Menus highlighted, press the OK key.

2. Scroll to Printer Setup Menu by pressing the Scroll Up or Scroll Down key.

3. Press the OK key.

4. Scroll to Print Configuration Pages.

5. Press the OK key.

6. To exit the menu system, scroll to Exit and press the OK key.

Printing a Configuration Page Using CentreWare Internet Services

With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use CentreWare Internet Services.

1. Connect to the printer via CentreWare IS (see page 23).

2. On the main CentreWare IS page, click the Print button.

3. On the left side of the Print page, click Print Configuration Page.

4. On the Print Configuration page, click the green button.

For more information on CentreWare IS, see page 23.

Networking Software

Your printer’s software CD-ROM contains software for installing your printer on a network. The CD-ROM also contains online documentation, printer drivers, and other printer software. A single integrated installer is used to install printer drivers and other software. For information on running the installer, see page 5.

2 Phaser 860 Color Printer

Connecting Your Printer to a Network

Direct Ethernet Connection to Macintosh or PC

Requirements

■

Two RJ-45, twisted-pair, 10Base-T cables

■

An Ethernet-port hub

Procedure

1. Turn off your computer and the printer.

2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer. Connect

the other end to the hub.

3. Connect the other cable to the hub and the Ethernet port on the printer.

Note

The printer is not a SCSI device. Do not connect the printer to your computer through the SCSI ports.

3094-73

4. Turn on your computer and printer.

5. After the computer and printer are connected, refer to the configuration instructions

for your network type.

Networking Setup Guide 3

Connecting Your Printer to a Network

Ethernet Interface

■

Conforms to IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II standards.

■

Twisted pair (10BaseT or 100BaseTx) connection.

■

Thick coax (10Base5) and thin coax (10Base2) connections require adapters; contact your dealer to obtain adapters, cables, and terminators.

Caution

To avoid damaging the Ethernet interface, turn off the printer before making any Ethernet connections.

Ethernet Connections and Indicators

RCV XMT

Ethernet

0180-01A

1. RCV (receive) indicator (green); blinks while the interface is receiving.

2. XMT (transmit) indicator (yellow); blinks while the interface is transmitting.

3. Twisted pair (10BaseT) connector.

Ethernet Cables

100BaseTx requires Category 5 (100-Ohm UTP) cabling.

To fully comply with EMI (electromagnetic interference) specifications, the use of shielded or screened cables may be required. “Shielded” describes IBM-defined cables used with the DB-9 connector. “Screened” describes cables that are electrically similar to Category 4 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), but with an added shield or screen.

Caution

Do not use “silver satin” telephone extension cables for 10BaseT networks, either as drop cords or as patch cables in the wiring closet. (Silver satin cables are flat, usually silver or gray, with 28-gauge stranded or tinsel conductors.) Do not use shielded twisted pair cable intended for IBM Token Ring networks or voice-grade (level 1 or 2) unshielded twisted pair cables. These cables do not meet the requirements for 10BaseT and will lead to unreliable operation.

Installing Printer Drivers

Running the Installer From the Printer’s Hard Disk

If a hard drive is installed on the printer, you can run the installer from it. This method requires that you already have a TCP/IP connection to the printer.

1. Connect to your printer via CentreWare IS (see page 23).

2. On the printer’s main page, click Install Printer Drivers.

Running the Xerox Installer From the Printer’s CD-ROM

The Xerox installer for Windows is on your printer’s software CD-ROM. A single integrated installer is used to install printer drivers and other software.

The Xerox installer automatically performs printer installation tasks and creates a printer. In most cases, you are required only to make a few installation choices, clicking Next to move from screen to screen.

Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000

1. Insert the printer’s software CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

■

If the Windows autorun feature is enabled, the CD-ROM launches automatically.

■

If the Windows autorun feature is disabled, double-click My Computer, double click the CD icon to access the CD-ROM, then double-click startup.exe.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Macintosh

1. Insert the printer’s software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Click Start Me First.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Networking Setup Guide 5

Novell NetWare

Configuration Software for NetWare Networks

The Configuration Page reports information that you need for NetWare configuration. For information on printing a Configuration Page, see page 2.

On the Configuration Page, all zeros in one or more of the IPX Networks fields indicates that the printer does not recognize the network connection; this probably indicates a faulty cable connection, an incorrect frame type, or Reply to Get Nearest Server has not been set to On. It must be set to On for at least one file server or router on the same segment as the printer.

For Windows environments, the following software is available:

■

CentreWare DP—Use this application to configure the printer and the network when using NetWare 3.x, 4.x and 5.x. Refer to the Printer Management Software CD-ROM for the CentreWare DP software and documentation.

■

Novell NWAdmin—Use this utility to manage existing queues on networks running NetWare 4.x or 5.x in NDS or NDPS/NEPS mode.

6 Phaser 860 Color Printer

TCP/IP Configuration

The Configuration Page reports important information that you will need for TCP/IP configuration. For information on printing a Configuration Page, see page 2.

Host (Computer) Configuration

Choose the procedure appropriate for your environment:

■

For installation on workstations when print jobs are to be sent through a print server, see Installation on Workstations for Client-server Printing on page 9.

■

For installation on a workstation for peer-to-peer printing, see Installation on Workstations for Peer-to-Peer Printing on page 9.

Setting Up the Printer for TCP/IP Printing

The Xerox Installer for Windows automatically performs the following functions to set up your printer:

■

Locates your printer on the network.

■

Suggests an IP address for the printer if one has not already been assigned (for example, from the front panel or by DHCP). You are given the opportunity to accept the automatically assigned address or assign a different one. For information on other methods of setting the printer’s IP address, see page 13.

■

Windows 95/98/ME—Installs PhaserPort for Windows (if not already installed). PhaserPort for Windows is a Xerox port monitor for printing over Windows 95/98/ME TCP/IP peer-to-peer networks.

■

Windows NT—Installs Microsoft TCP/IP Printing Services (if not already installed).

■

Installs the driver.

■

Creates a printer in the Printers window.
