Installation Planning Guide
After the installation of the printing system, there are a few
ongoing tasks that must be performed. These tasks may include
all or some of the following:
•
Meter reading and reporting
•
Overseeing routine maintenance
•
Placing service calls for hardware problems
•
Ordering additional documentation, software, or fonts
•
Arranging additional operator training
•
Maintaining an adequate inventory of consumable supplies.
It is your responsibility to designate a person (or persons) to
perform these tasks.
Select personnel for operator and systems training and set up a
training schedule.
Select and prepare the site for system installation (including
proper power, air conditioning, and work space). If connecting to
other equipment, obtain the necessary interfaces, cables,
transceivers, phone lines, and so forth.
Install the necessary network components required to connect
client workstations to the printing system. Refer to the Getting
Ready for Installation manual for details.
Obtain and install fully populated bus and tag cables required to
connect the host to the printing system. Refer to the Getting
Ready for Installation manual for details.
Make sure all client workstations that will be submitting print jobs
have the proper hardware, operating system, and networking
software required by the printing system as client platforms.
Work with your Xerox systems analyst to determine requirements
for initial applications.
To aid you in planning for printer installation, the following
checklist contains the tasks that you and your service
representative must complete before installation. If you have
questions about any of these activities, contact your sales or
service representative.
Use the time frames in this checklist as guidelines. It is best to
consult your suppliers to determine the required lead times.
