6 UNIX TCP/IP

If you encounter problems during the installation of the machine, refer to the Problem Solving chapter for assistance.

CAUTION: Do not connect the network cable to the machine until instructed to do so.

UNIX TCP/IP Environments

System configuration

The machine uses the Line Printer Daemon Protocol (LPD) that supports TCP/IP as the transport protocol. With the LPD, use the machine as a UNIX network printer.

The LPD supports spool mode, this is where print jobs from clients are spooled once before output. It also supports non-spool mode, this is where print jobs are output sequentially, without spooling.

Target computers

The target computers are as follows.

• Workstation or personal computer with RFC 1179 Line Printer Daemon Protocol

Interface

The LPD is available on the following interfaces:

Ethernet 100Base-TX

Ethernet 10Base-T

The applicable frame types conform to Ethernet II (Ethernet interface).

UNIX TCP/IP Installation

This section explains how to install the machine in a UNIX TCP/IP environment.

Installation Procedure

There are three stages.

Network Communication Setup

The machine needs to be set up and configured for TCP/IP.

Workstation Setup

The workstation OS needs to be configured for the machine.

Test Print

A print job should be submitted to make sure that the machine has been installed and configured correctly.

7232, 7242 specifications

The Xerox 7232 and Xerox 7242 are multifunctional printers that have garnered attention for their reliability, efficiency, and advanced features, making them suitable for various business environments. Both models are part of Xerox's Color Qube series, which utilizes solid ink technology, standing out from traditional laser printers.

One of the hallmark features of the Xerox 7232 and 7242 is their exceptional print quality. Capable of producing high-resolution color documents, these printers utilize solid ink sticks, which melt and adhere to the paper, resulting in vibrant colors and sharp details. The high-quality output is ideal for marketing materials, presentations, and professional documents.

In terms of performance, the Xerox 7232 offers a print speed of up to 32 pages per minute (ppm) for black and white documents and 32 ppm for color documents. The Xerox 7242 enhances this capability with a faster output of up to 42 ppm in both black and white and color. This efficiency minimizes wait times and supports higher productivity in busy office settings.

Both models feature robust scanning capabilities, with the ability to scan documents at impressive speeds. They provide options for dual-sided scanning, which not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to environmentally friendly practices by reducing paper usage. Users can easily convert printed materials into digital formats, enabling streamlined document management and sharing.

Another significant aspect of the Xerox 7232 and 7242 is their comprehensive connectivity options. These printers support various network protocols, allowing seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures. They are compatible with mobile printing solutions, enabling users to print directly from smartphones and tablets, adding to the convenience and accessibility of these machines.

The user interface of both models is designed for ease of use. A color touchscreen display provides intuitive navigation through the printer's features and settings. This user-friendly approach simplifies everyday tasks, allowing staff to operate the printers with minimal training.

In addition to their operational features, the Xerox 7232 and 7242 are designed with sustainability in mind. The solid ink technology significantly reduces waste compared to traditional toner cartridges, making them an environmentally responsible choice for businesses looking to minimize their ecological footprint.

Overall, the Xerox 7232 and 7242 multifunction printers combine advanced technology, superior print quality, and sustainability, making them excellent choices for businesses aiming to enhance their document processing capabilities.
