network, provides an overview of network requirements and protocol
diagrams, and describes how to physically connect the printer to an
established network.
Network installation is generally performed by a network or printing
administrator and involves four stages:
•

•
Xerox DocuColor 2006
Physical connection of the printer to the network and to the
server. If this step includes preparation of a network node and
routing of the printer network cable, refer to the network
documentation for specific installation instructions.
Configuring UNIX, Windows NT 4.0 and IPX (Novell) network
servers to provide client access to the DocuColor 2006 as a color
PostScript or PCL printer. No special configuration of AppleShare
servers is required. Refer to the chapter Setting up the network
server.
Setting up the printer for the network environment. At the Printer
Control Panel, configure the Server Setup, Network Setup, and
Printer Setup. You can then configure the remaining setup
options from the Printer Control Panel or remote workstation with
WebSetup. You can also calibrate the DocuColor 2006. Refer to
the chapters, Performing the setup from the Printer Control Panel
and Using ColorWise Pro Tools.
