Be prepared to provide the Xerox personnel with the following
information during installation:
•
Network information such as host-name, IP address, IP
netmask, default router
•
AppleTalk network information, if applicable
•
Novell network information, if applicable
•
Superuser password

UNIX command tool availability
Since you are upgrading your DocuPrint 2000 Series 100/115/
135/155/180 EPS, many of these parameters have already been
determined. However, you should refer to "Preparing for
installation" in the Installation Planning Guide for specific
information.
The following is an overview of the tasks associated with setting
up your system to accept IPDS data from an IBM host. Some
tasks that typically need to be performed prior to installation are:
•
Install Token Ring to the system location, if applicable.
•
Install Ethernet to the system location, if applicable.
•
Define the printer to your host as an AFP Type 1, Group 3
printer.
•
Specify a superuser password.
Defining the printer to a host
In order to send data from the IBM host to the printing system,
you must define the printer on your host. The IBM host to which
you are connecting the printing system to, as well as the type of
connection used, will determine how the printer is defined on the
host.
For example, you may connect the printing system to an AS/400
host through a Token Ring network, or to a PC with OS/2
software via Ethernet.
