DocuColor on a TCP/IP network with Windows NT

When a Windows NT computer is configured to connect to the DocuColor using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the DocuColor. If the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT and Windows 95 clients. The client machines print to the DocuColor by printing to the Windows NT print server. Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT server machine.

Typical system combinations are:

Print server running Windows NT Server; clients running Windows NT Workstation and Windows 95

Print server running Windows NT Workstation and clients running Windows 95

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can also run the remote utilities from a Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation computer. Windows 95 clients can also run the WebTools over TCP/IP.

If there are many Mac OS computers or other PostScript printers at the site, the Windows NT server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the DocuColor. You can load AppleTalk on the Windows NT server as an alternative to TCP/IP (see page 3-27).

Tips for experts—Windows NT with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows NT using TCP/IP protocols is similar in some respects to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from Windows NT workstations, note the following:

Make sure you have a valid IP address for the DocuColor and for any workstations that will print to it or run the remote utilities.

In DocuColor Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup>Ethernet Setup (or Token Ring Setup), enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address for the DocuColor. Also enter the Subnet mask and Gateway address.

Make sure your DocuColor name and address are listed in a domain name services (DNS) or a host name database used by your system.

Make sure your system host table includes the correct internal name for the DocuColor as a remote printer. See page 3-30 for more information.
