1-2 Connecting to the Network
These protocols are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can
run concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print
through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned. The EX7750 is
auto-sensing, and can handle all of these connections simultaneously.
When you add the EX7750 to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator
has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
•Physically connecting the EX7750 to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the EX7750—obtain cable, route it to the location where
the EX7750 will be installed (near the printer), and attach the cable to the network
interface of the EX7750. For details, see “Ensuring the printer connection” on
page 3-10.

:
If you plan to run Command WorkStation software, you will need to install the
software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along with
the EX7750. For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide .
• Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the EX7750 as a color PCL or PostScript printer. For information
about configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments,
see Chapter 2.
