Installation planning
Information needed for installation
Be prepared to provide the Xerox personnel with the following information during installation:
•Network information such as
•AppleTalk network information, if applicable
•Novell network information, if applicable
•Superuser password
•Accounting information
•Xerox client software information
•lpr information
•UNIX command tool availability
Since you are upgrading your DocuPrint 2000 Series 100/115/ 135/155/180 EPS, many of these parameters have already been determined. However, you should refer to “Preparing for installation” in the Installation Planning Guide for specific information.
DocuPrint IPS Extension
The following is an overview of the tasks associated with setting up your system to accept IPDS data from an IBM host. Some tasks that typically need to be performed prior to installation are:
•Install Token Ring to the system location, if applicable.
•Install Ethernet to the system location, if applicable.
•Define the printer to your host as an AFP Type 1, Group 3 printer.
•Specify a superuser password.
Defining the printer to a host
In order to send data from the IBM host to the printing system, you must define the printer on your host. The IBM host to which you are connecting the printing system to, as well as the type of connection used, will determine how the printer is defined on the host.
For example, you may connect the printing system to an AS/400 host through a Token Ring network, or to a PC with OS/2 software via Ethernet.
