Setting up PC-DOS workstations

This section describes the steps for installing the Xerox Document Submission Client Software, the appropriate PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file, and the Decomposition Service Tools on a networked PC-DOS workstation.

In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print, Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified during installation or by using the Configure utility. Also, in order to download the client software, FTP capability must be enabled on the controller. This is specified during installation or via the Configure utility. If security is a concern, FTP capability can be disabled after the software is downloaded by using Configure. For more information, see the chapter “Using utility commands” in your Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.

Installing Xerox Client Software for DOS

You install Xerox Client Software on client workstations using the ftp command to log on to the printer controller, retrieve an installation command file, and execute it. This procedure automatically downloads the software.

Xerox Client Software works only for the drive on which it is installed. You must be running Wollongong Pathway Access release 3.1, FTP PC/TCP, or Sun PC-NFS V5.1software.

NOTE: Version 3.0 of FTP’s PC/TCP is recommended because of a change FTP made to the 4.0 version of their software. If you are using version 4.0, you can copy the 3.0 version of the FTP.EXE file to the PCTCP directory and use it for this procedure.

NOTE: The Wollongong TCP/IP communication packages for some versions of PC-DOS may not support 16-bit Ethernet communication cards from 3Com and Western Digital Corporation. It may also intermittently hang up if you use a batch file to transmit a large number of print jobs back to back.
