Introduction

The System Guide provides the information needed to perform system administration tasks for configuring and maintaining the Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server for printing systems.

About this guide

This guide is intended for network and system administrators responsible for setting up and maintaining Xerox printers with Xerox FreeFlow Print Server software. System administrators should have an understanding of the Sun workstation, a familiarity with Solaris, and with basic UNIX commands. This includes the use of text editors such as vi or textedit and the ability to maneuver within the Solaris environment. To enable them to setup a customer site, system administrators are expected to have a working knowledge of Local Area Networks (LANs), communication protocols, and the applicable client platforms.
