Quick path to installation

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems that can be used for
printing and running DocuColor software from remote workstations. Find the page
with your preferred platform and network type, and then look up the setup procedures
referenced in the "Key to setup" at the top left of each diagram.
The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They are
logical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology)
of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each
logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star
configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical
networks is beyond the scope of this manual.
If the network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,
combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Note that multiple
protocols (shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid
connection from the DocuColor 40 CP with an arrow indicates that other supported
network types can be operational at the same time.
A Token Ring card is required for connection to a Token Ring network. Token Ring
drivers are included with DocuColor 40 CP system software. See Appendix A for
details.
