The Docucolor 2006 On A Tcp/Ip Network With Windows Nt 4.0 - Xerox 2006NPC - DocuColor Color Laser User Manual

8. Setting up the network server
The DocuColor 2006 on a TCP/IP network with
Windows NT 4.0
When a Windows NT 4.0 workstation is configured to connect to the
DocuColor 2006 using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the printer. If the
workstation shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print
server to Windows NT 4.0 clients. The client workstations print to the
DocuColor 2006 by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server.
Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT 4.0
server.
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can also run Fiery WebTools and
utilities from a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98 workstation.
The Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols for
printing. When creating a printer to share with AppleTalk users, do not
capture the printer, as this forces all users to print to the server rather
than directly to the printer. If you capture the printer, print connections
will not be displayed in the Mac OS Chooser.
Ensure that the following are true when TCP/IP network connections
are made:
•
Ensure that the IP addresses are valid for the DocuColor 2006
and for any workstations that will print to it or run Fiery utilities.
•
In Printer Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, Subnet
mask and Gateway address for the DocuColor 2006. You can
enter these addresses manually or use DHCP, RARP, or BOOTP
protocols to assign them dynamically.
•
Ensure that the DocuColor 2006 name and address are listed in a
domain name server (DNS) or a hosts name database used by
the system.
•
Ensure that your system host table includes the correct internal
name for the DocuColor 2006 as a remote printer.
•
For Windows NT 4.0, install the DocuColor 2006 PostScript and
PCL printer driver files on the Windows NT 4.0 server from the
User Software CD.
•
Repeat the installation for everyone who prints to the DocuColor
2006. Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with
TCP/IP also needs the TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility
software.
