6.3 Registering the Xerox 6050A Wide

Format Printer System

To print from the Xerox 6050A Wide Format printer system, the 6050A should be registered on the TCP/IP network.

Host System Registration

When the network information is managed by a name service such as NIS or DNS, the IP address and host name must be registered there.

When a name service other than NIS and DNS is used, the IP address and host name must be registered in the database used to transfer the file on the client side.

SunOS 5.X

In the case of SunOS 5.X, register the IP address and host name of the X6050A in the [/etc/hosts] file that defines the printers connected to the network.

In the example below, the 6050A with the host name [oklahoma] is registered in the [/etc/hosts] file with the IP address [zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz], in a network consisting of the two workstations called [cosmos] and [venus].

#Sun Host Database

#If the NIS is running, this file is only consulted when booting

127.0.0.1 localhost

#oklahoma is Wide Format 6050A plotter xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx cosmos loghost yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy venus zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz oklahoma
