It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the DocuColor.
3 3-2 Setting up Network Servers The DocuColor can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare and Windows NT, as well as jobs sent directly from Windows NT or UNIX workstations. NetWare clients on Mac OS computers can print via the NetWare server. NetWare clients on Windows NT computers can print either via the NetWare server or directly. The DocuColor can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over the Ethernet or Token Ring network topologies. (Appendix A describes the Token Ring option.
3 3-3 DocuColor on an IPX network Overview of IPX printing to the DocuColor NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk, freeing up the client workstation. The queues on the NetWare server must be named to match the Direct connection and the Print queue on the DocuColor.
3 3-4 Setting up Network Servers Configuring a NetWare server for printing The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare file server so that networked users can print to the DocuColor from their workstations, and the DocuColor can obtain print jobs from the NetWare server.

After the Novell server and the DocuColor have been set up, client setup consists of: • Installing the networking protocol, binding it to the network adapter card, and permitting the client to log in to the NetWare file server.
3 3-17 Configuring a NetWare server for printing The steps below summarize installing the utilities on a single workstation. The installation is described in the Getting Started in greater detail. TO INSTALL THE UTILITIES : 1. Configure your NetWare server and perform DocuColor Setup. 2. In DocuColor Setup, perform Network Setup as summarized in the tables on page 3-5. Under Ethernet Setup, perform IPX/SPX Setup. 3. Save changes after Setup. 4.
3 3-18 Setting up Network Servers DocuColor on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT When a Windows NT computer is configured to connect to the DocuColor using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the DocuColor. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT and Windows 95 clients. The client machines print to the DocuColor by printing to the Windows NT print server. Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT server machine.
3 3-19 • Configuring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor For Windows NT 3.51, load the Windows NT PostScript printer driver and install the DocuColor printer description provided with the user software, as described in the Getting Started. Repeat the installation for everyone who prints to the DocuColor. • For Windows 4.0, install the DocuColor PostScript printer description on the Windows NT server (see the Getting Started).
3 3-20 Setting up Network Servers • If the Windows NT 4.0 server is also a workstation, install the remote utilities (see Getting Started and page 3-26). Loading the TCP/IP network protocol If the TCP/IP protocol has not yet been installed on the Windows NT server, use the procedure in this section.
3 3-21 Configuring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor Adding the DocuColor to the TCP/IP network If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT servers and Windows NT clients, use the directions in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also check the directions on page 3-31. TO ADD THE 1. D OCU C OLOR TO A TCP/IP NETWORK WITH A W INDOWS NT SERVER : On the DocuColor Control Panel, perform Server Setup, Network Setup and Printer Setup to support TCP/IP printing.
3 3-22 TO Setting up Network Servers ENTER THE HOST NAME OF THE 1. D OCU C OLOR : On the Windows NT server and on each client computer, navigate to the hosts file that you use for your network or for your local computer. The path to a local hosts file will resemble the following: c:\WINNT\System32\drivers\etc\hosts 2. Open the hosts file with any ASCII text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or Edit (DOS). 3.
3 3-23 Configuring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor Installing the DocuColor as a shared PostScript printer The first step in creating a printer is installing the Windows NT PostScript printer driver and the DocuColor PPD (PostScript printer description), which gives your applications access to printer features. The installation instructions in Getting Started can be used for every workstation that will print directly and independently to the DocuColor.
3 3-24 Setting up Network Servers T O INSTALL THE D OCU C OLOR AS W INDOWS NT 3.51 COMPUTER : 1. A SHARED PRINTER ON A On the Windows NT 3.51 print server computer, install the printer driver and printer file for Windows NT 3.51 clients as described in the Getting Started. If the client has never installed the Windows PostScript printer driver, you also need the Windows NT Installation CD to install the driver.
3 3-25 Configuring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor Your Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, and Windows 95 clients have access to the shared printer through their applications. They will not be able to change settings in the Printer Properties dialog box. Configuring Windows NT clients Each client of a Windows NT server is already using a network protocol to communicate with the server.
3 3-26 Setting up Network Servers Configuring Windows NT workstations for remote utilities To run the remote utilities on a TCP/IP network, the workstation must be running Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation, with Microsoft TCP/IP protocols loaded and bound to the network driver. TO ENABLE THE UTILITIES ON THE 1. D OCU C OLOR : Perform DocuColor Setup and enable TCP/IP. In Network Setup, choose Protocol Setup and perform TCP/IP Setup and Ethernet Setup.
3 3-27 Using AppleTalk with NetWare servers Using AppleTalk with NetWare servers Users can print to the DocuColor from Mac OS computers via a NetWare print server. The AppleTalk protocol must be loaded on the NetWare server before you can set up the server to accept jobs from Mac OS clients. Then use the ATPSCON (AppleTalk Print Services) utility to configure a NetWare spooler for AppleTalk. The important settings for the spooler configuration are listed below.
3 3-28 Setting up Network Servers Install the Windows NT PostScript Printer driver and the DocuColor PPD for your Windows NT server and for your Windows NT and Windows clients. Mac OS users can print directly to the DocuColor and should install the AdobePS printer driver for the Mac OS and the DocuColor PPD. All of these installations are described in Getting Started. Configuring the DocuColor and clients for WebTools The WebTools duplicate many of the functions of the utilities.
3 3-29 3. Using AppleTalk with Windows NT Make sure an Internet browser that supports the Java language and frames is installed. Make sure Java is enabled in the Internet browser. See Getting Started for the list of browsers supported for the WebTools. TO ACCESS THE W EB T OOLS FROM A CLIENT WORKSTATION : You access the WebTools from the DocuColor home page, which you access from your Internet browser. 1. Start the Internet browser. 2. Enter the IP address or DNS name of the DocuColor. 3.
3 3-30 Setting up Network Servers Tips for experts—UNIX workstations Setting up the DocuColor in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting up any printer or new device: • A distinct IP address is needed for the DocuColor as well as for each workstation on the network. • You select a DocuColor name that goes with the IP address. • The IP address must be registered for the network in a host database, and also on the DocuColor itself.
3 3-31 Using AppleTalk with Windows NT Setting up the DocuColor on TCP/IP networks Every machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the DocuColor, must have a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). If the network is being set up for the first time, it’s a good idea to start out with addresses that can be used with the public Internet. Contact your Internet service provider to obtain an address for the DocuColor.
3 3-32 4. Setting up Network Servers To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any computer on the network, at the command prompt, type: ping Type the DocuColor IP address assigned in DocuColor Network Setup.
3 3-33 Using AppleTalk with Windows NT Managing print jobs UNIX network administrators can use UNIX utilities for viewing the list of jobs, and for printing and removing jobs that are spooled on UNIX servers. If the network includes a Windows NT workstation that has TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can use the Downloader to download files and manage fonts on the DocuColor.
3 3-34 TO USE THE Setting up Network Servers W EB S POOLER : 1. If you wish to protect print jobs from manipulation by WebSpooler users, specify an administrator password on the DocuColor Control Panel, as described on page 2-42. 2. From a web browser on a workstation on the same network as the DocuColor, enter the DocuColor URL (Universal Resource Locator—the standard Web address) to access the DocuColor home page. 3. Click WebSpooler. 4.
4 4-1 Chapter 4: Administering the DocuColor Administrator functions This chapter gives tips on managing DocuColor printing, and includes some troubleshooting hints. Administrator functions Administration features are provided in the user software package and are built into the color server itself. The following table tells you where to find information on these features. Page references are in this manual.

Try again? No file server with those letters was found when DocuColor queried the network. Check the name of the NetWare file server, check cable connections, and make sure the NetWare server is turned on.
4 4-7 Troubleshooting the DocuColor In Network Setup, when you are configuring your IPX (Novell) connection, the DocuColor queries the network for Novell file servers and print servers, and attaches to them temporarily. If a guest login is enabled, it will be used. If not, you’ll be prompted to log in from the DocuColor Control Panel.
4 4-8 Administering the DocuColor Novell error screens Novell error: Cause: Suggested action or exit: 220 Guest account not available The guest account, which you have chosen for initial login, has expired or has been disabled by the NetWare supervisor. Enable a guest account on the NetWare server for the purpose of setup. Alternatively, log in to a different account. In the ENTER LOGIN NAME screen, change the default name (guest) to supervisor or another valid login name.
4 4-9 Novell error: nnn Notify IPX (Novell) Administrator. Troubleshooting the DocuColor Cause: Suggested action or exit: Indicates other network errors when the color server is already connected to a file server. Something unexpected has happened and the user generally cannot recover without intervention of the network administrator. Error #197 indicates that you have exceeded the number of login attempts permitted for this account on the NetWare file server.
4 4-10 Administering the DocuColor • TCP/IP host name or DNS name, which is defined by the MIS group in your organization, and should be fewer than 10 characters long. In this manual we use colorsvr. Enter the host name as the Server Name on the DocuColor Control Panel. • Internal (machine) name in the form: print_5750 N OTE : You must reconfigure one of the utilities on each workstation if you change the TCP/IP host name or DNS name of the DocuColor.

A A-1 Appendix A: Token Ring Network Option Token Ring Network Option Token Ring is an alternative network architecture to Ethernet architecture. Token Ring networks offer a high resistance to failure and are commonly used in large or hightraffic network installations. Token Ring networks operate by passing a network token around the electronic equivalent of a ring. The token is a data packet that circulates from one network node to another, controlling access to the network.
A A-2 Token Ring Network Option Back view of the DocuColor with the Token Ring option installed Ethernet connectors STP UTP Token Ring connectors ! Shut off the DocuColor before connecting it to any network device. N OTE : Do not attach cable to both Token Ring connectors.
