UNIX TCP/IP Installation

SunOS

Follow the steps below to set up a SunOS workstation to communicate with the machine.

1.Log in at a client workstation as root and add the machine to the /etc/hosts file. For example:

IP address [tab] PrinterName

NOTE: If an NIS server is running on the same segment of the network as the machine, log in at the NIS server as root and add the machine to the master hosts file. For example:

IP address [tab] PrinterName

2.Verify connectivity to the machine, by using a UNIX command such as ping, as shown in the following example:

ping PrinterName

PrinterName is alive

3.Edit the /etc/printcap file to contain an entry for the machine queue using the following example:

PrinterName:\

:lp=:\

:rm=PrinterName:\

:mx#0:\

:sd=/var/spool/lpd/PrinterName:\

:lf=/var/spool/lpd/PrinterName/log:

1)PrinterName is the local client name of the machine.

2)lp= is the local device name for the printer output. For remote printers, this parameter must be set to nothing.

NOTE: The recommended remote queue name is lp. That queue name will work with the machine.

3)rm= is the remote device. This is the IP hostname for the machine in the local client. The remote printer name defaults to lp, the default printer.

4)mx#0 is the indicator that there is no limit on the document size.

5)sd= is the path of the queue for the machine.

6)lf= is the error log file name.

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.
