Introduction
The Splash™ Windows NT Client software allows a PC running Microsoft® Windows NT (version 4.0 or later) to print to a Splash MajestiK™, Acolor™, DocuColor™ 5750, DocuColor 5799, or Regal™ printer/copier. The driver software lets
your Windows™ applications communicate across an appropriate network with a
Splash Server. The Splash Server then processes your print jobs and sends them to
the printer/copier. Thus, you can develop documents with Windows-based applications and then print your work on the Splash printer/copier.
This on-line manual describes how to install and use the Splash Client software
with Windows NT. If you are not already familiar with Windows NT procedures
and conventions, please refer to your Microsoft documentation before you attempt
to print to Splash.
System Requirements
The Splash Windows Client driver requires the following hardware and software:
■
An IBM AT or PS/2 (or 100%-compatible) computer with an 80486 or higher
processor
One 3.5" floppy disk drive, high-density (1.4MB) capacity
■
Hard disk drive
■
At least 16 MB of RAM
■
■
CD-ROM Drive
Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 or later. And software CD or floppy disks
■
■
Network hardware that works with the built-in Windows NT drivers to connect
your PC to the Splash print queue on the Novell or NT server
Refer to the Windows NT documentation for a description of
compatible hardware.

Chapter 1
Setting Up for Printing to Splash
This chapter explains how to connect your PC to the Splash printer/copier and how
to install the Splash Windows NT client software.
Connecting Your Computer to the Splash Printer
Before you can install the Splash Windows NT Client software, you must establish
a network connection to the Splash printer. There are several options for setting up
your Windows NT PC for printing to Splash. You can:
Connect to another Windows NT computer on your network that has been set
■
up as a print spooler for Splash.
Connect to a Novell NetWare print spooler that has been configured for print-
■
ing to Splash.
Configure your Windows NT system for direct printing to Splash over an
■
AppleTalk network.
Configure your Windows NT system for direct LPR printing to Splash over a
■
TCP/IP network.
This chapter describes how to set up for printing through a Windows NT or Novell
NetWare print spooler that has been configured for printing to Splash. If no print
spooler is available, this chapter also describes how to set up for printing to Splash
over an AppleTalk network. The instructions provided in this chapter apply to both
Windows NT Server and Windows NT Workstation systems.
If your PC can connect to a Novell NetWare server, the system administrator
responsible for setting up print spoolers should refer to the appropriate Novell NetW are documentation and the Splash NetWare Direct documentation for instructions
on how to set up a Novell print queue for Splash. Refer to the chapter, “Setting Up
TCP/IP and NetWare Direct Printing to Splash,” in the
manual.
