3-30 Setting up Network Servers Tips for experts—UNIX workstations Setting up the DocuColor in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device: • A distinct IP address is needed for the DocuColor as well as for each workstation on the network.
Page 103: Setting Up The Docucolor On Tcp/Ip Networks
3-31 Using AppleTalk with Windows NT Setting up the DocuColor on TCP/IP networks Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the DocuColor, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). If the network is being set up for the ﬁrst time, it’s a good idea to start out with addresses that can be used with the public Internet.
Page 104: Printing And Managing Print Jobs
3-32 Setting up Network Servers 4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any com- puter on the network, at the command prompt, type: ping <IP address> Type the DocuColor IP address assigned in DocuColor Network Setup. After the DocuColor is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gave to the DocuColor ping <hostname>...
Page 105 3-33 Using AppleTalk with Windows NT Managing print jobs UNIX network administrators can use UNIX utilities for viewing the list of jobs, and for printing and removing jobs that are spooled on UNIX servers. If the network includes a Windows NT workstation that has TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can use the Downloader to download ﬁles and manage fonts on the DocuColor.
Page 106 3-34 Setting up Network Servers O USE THE POOLER 1. If you wish to protect print jobs from manipulation by WebSpooler users, specify an administrator password on the DocuColor Control Panel, as described on 2. From a web browser on a workstation on the same network as the DocuColor, enter the DocuColor URL (Universal Resource Locator—the standard Web address) to access the DocuColor home page.

4-3 Troubleshooting the DocuColor • Reduce unnecessary two-way communication Remote users running Spooler or Downloader, especially with frequent updates, may have a signiﬁcant effect on DocuColor performance. • Make sure you have adequate disk space on the color server An administrator can print or delete jobs that are in the Printed queue. Consider print- ing or ofﬂoading inactive jobs.
