Installation
Defining the printer to the host for IPDS printing
Prior to installation of your DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS, your host system must be configured to communicate with and print on the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS. This requires defining several printer parameters to your host. The required information and configuration procedures differ according to your connectivity type (channel or TCP/IP), and your host and PSF environment. You will need to provide these parameters to your Xerox representative on installation day.
There are two appendices in this guide which provide printer configuration procedures and the parameters you must define in order to configure PSF to make a connection with your DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS. One appendix discusses channel- attached environments; the other appendix provides information for environments in which the printer uses TCP/IP to communicate via Ethernet or Token Ring. Parameters are given for MVS mainframes, AS/400, RS/6000 running AIX, and PS/2 or other personal computers running OS/2.
Software licensing
When a DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS is purchased, the owner needs to receive a license to use the operating system software. Once a user calls in with a host ID, (Sun SPARC/Ultra host ID), the user receives a license string.
This license is enabled by entering an authorization text string at the printer controller keyboard. Your Xerox service representative obtains this license text string for you.
Until this license string is entered, while you can power on and boot the system, the printer remains in Disabled mode and cannot print.
Although your service representative usually does this for you, you also can enter your license string using the Install Feature License command. For more information, refer to the “Using utility commands” chapter of the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.
