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 GA-1120 to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the GA-1120—obtain cable, route it to the location where the GA-1120 will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface (for details, see page 3-9).

NOTE: 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 GA-1120. 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 GA-1120 as a color PostScript printer. For information on configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see Chapter 2.

•Setting up the GA-1120

Configure the GA-1120 for your particular printing and network environment. First read Chapter 2, and then see subsequent chapters for details.

•Preparing client workstations for printing

Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the client to the GA-1120 over the network. These steps are described in the User Software Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.

•Administering the GA-1120

Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.
