Defining The Ips Printer To The Host - Xerox DocuPrint 100 Installation Planning Manual

Defining the IPS printer to the host

Installation Planning Guide
• Load Xerox client software on any additional client
workstations.
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 Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI connectors required for
your system.
• Have test jobs ready to run.
• Have the necessary parameters defined to configure PSF for
connectivity to your IPS printer.
• Have list of stocks you want used for your default input tray
configuration.
• Have your operators available for training.
• 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:
– AS/400 requires a Barr/AFD or PS/2 with a channel card.
– RS/6000 requires a channel card for IPS connectivity.
– PS/2 requires a channel card for 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.
Prior to installation of your DocuPrint NPS/IPS, your host system
must be configured to communicate with and print on the
DocuPrint NPS/IPS. This requires defining several printer
parameters to your host. The required information and
configuration procedures differ according to your connectivity
type (channel or TCP/IP), and your host and PSF environment.
You will need to provide these parameters to your Xerox
representative on installation day.
