Chapter 1: Connecting to the Network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up a DocuColor, and includes diagrams that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation. If you check those references, you should be able to find the information you need quickly.

DocuColor on the network

When the DocuColor is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the DocuColor supports the following network protocols:

TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd proto- col is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports Windows (WINS) printing. The http protocol is the protocol used for connection to the Inter- net.

IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each other) are supported on the Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run concurrently on the same Ethernet cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned, or they can print to the DocuColor parallel port. A Token Ring option is also available. This option supports the TCP/IP and IPX protocols. The DocuColor is auto-sensing, and can handle all of these con- nections simultaneously.

When you add a DocuColor to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator will have already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.
