INTRODUCTION
This document is intended for administrators of the Color Controller E-42B, which is
referred to in this document as the E-42B.
This document primarily describes tasks that must be completed or coordinated by the
administrator before the E-42B is ready for use. It assumes that the E-42B has been unpacked
from its shipping container and that all required cables are connected from the E-42B to the
network, a power source, and the copier/printer, and that the copier/printer is operational.
If you are an administrator and plan to configure a E-42B, it is strongly recommended that
you carefully review this entire document, beginning with “Stages of installation on the
network” on page 9.

Stages of installation on the network
Installing the E-42B on a network requires configuring the network environment, connecting
the E-42B, preparing computers for printing, and administering the E-42B after installation.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection before
you configure network settings in Setup. This allows the E-42B to query the network for
zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the E-42B, copier/printer, or network at your site,
alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port
settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.
TOINSTALL THE E-42B ON THE NETWORK
1 Configure the network environment
Configure network servers to provide users with access to the E-42B as a network printer. For
information about configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network
environments as they relate specifically to the E-42B, see page 16. For information about
using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network.
2 Physically connect the E-42B to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the E-42B. Obtain cable, route it to the location where the E-42B
is to be installed, and attach the cable to the network connector of the E-42B. For details, see
page 18.
3 Set up the E-42B
Configure the E-42B for your printing and network environment (see page 23).
4 Prepare computers for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install user software, and connect computers to the
network. The software installation is described in Printing.

Battery information for the European Union and EEA
This symbol indicates that the batteries and accumulators used in this product must be
disposed of separately from household waste in accordance with EU Directive 2006/66/EC
(“Directive”) and local requirements.
If a chemical symbol is printed beneath the symbol shown, in accordance with the Directive,
this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in this
battery or accumulator at a concentration higher than an applicable threshold specified in the
Directive.
Batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Users of
batteries and accumulators must use the available collection framework for the return,
recycling, and treatment of batteries and accumulators.
If your product contains non-removable batteries, the entire product is already covered by the
EU WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive and should be handed over
to an authorized collection site for WEEE. The collection site will take appropriate measures
for the recycling and treatment of the product, including the batteries.
Customer participation in the collection and recycling of batteries and accumulators is
important to minimize any potential effects of batteries and accumulators on the environment
and human health due to substances used in batteries and accumulators.
In the EU, there are separate collection and recycling schemes for batteries and accumulators.
To find out more about recycling schemes for batteries and accumulators available in your
area, contact your local city office, waste authority, or waste disposal facility.
