33-22 Setting up Network Servers

TO ENTER THE HOST NAME OF THE DOCUCOLOR:

1.On the Windows NT server and on each client computer, navigate to the hosts file that you use for your network or for your local computer.

The path to a local hosts file will resemble the following: c:\WINNT\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

2.Open the hosts file with any ASCII text editor such as Notepad (Windows) or Edit (DOS).

3.Type an entry for the DocuColor (IP address and host name) similar to the other entries in this file.

The Windows NT hosts file provides compatibility with the UNIX hosts file. The hosts file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS) equivalent. It has the same format as the /etc/hosts file on UNIX servers. The form of the hosts entry is:

IP Address<TAB>host name<TAB>#comments where <TAB> indicates that you press the Tab key.

NOTE: Type the entry exactly as shown, without a space before the IP address. The host name should be the same name you gave to the DocuColor in the Server Setup on the Control Panel.

A sample entry for the DocuColor as the remote computer/printer, in which we’ve defined the host name of the printer as colorsvr is:

192.9.228.1<TAB>colorsvr<TAB>#DocuColor Color Server

NOTE: If the DocuColor has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, use the same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the /etc/hosts file.

4.Save the file as “hosts” and exit the application.
