Installation Planning Guide
For network workstations:
• Designate two client workstations for Xerox client software if
applicable: one for initial system validation and at least one
other for use in operator training.
• Load Xerox client software on any additional client
workstations, if needed. Drivers and PPD files are available
at www.xerox.com, or ask your Xerox representative.
Remember that you are responsible for supplying, installing,
and maintaining your client workstations and the Token Ring
network or Ethernet local area network (LAN) that connects
them with the printer controller. You are also responsible for
the network connectors required for your system.
• Have PostScript and PCL test jobs ready to run.
For IPDS printing:
• Have the necessary parameters defined to configure PSF for
connectivity to your IPDS printer.
• Have list of stocks you want used for your default IPDS virtual
printer media list (input tray) configuration. Refer to the
Guide to Managing Print Jobs , in particular, the chapter
"Managing IPDS jobs," for more information.
• Sysgen your host to print to an AFP1-type printer. Refer to
the IBM ITSC Distributing AFP Printing from a Host System
(#GG24-4493) documentation for further information.
• If your system will be channel-attached, make available a bus
and tag connection from the host system as follows:
– RS/6000 requires a channel card for NPS/IPS
connectivity.
– PS/2 requires a channel card for NPS/IPS connectivity.
Refer to the installation planning checklist in the "Setting up the
work area" chapter of this guide for a complete list of
responsibilities.
