6 Quick Start Guide
Connecting the E-820 to a functioning network
N
OTE
:
When you add the E-820 to a network, it is assumed that a network
administrator has already installed a network cabling system and has connected
workstations and servers. For examples of different networks, see the Configuration
Guide .
•Prepare a network node for the E-820.
•Route the cable to a location near the copier where the E-820 will be installed
and attach the cable to the network interface of the E-820.
For more information, see Chapter 1 of the Configuration Guide .
• Connect the E-820 to the copier and print a test page.
For detailed instructions, see the Configuration Guide .
T
O PREPARE FOR
E-820
CONFIGURATION
1. Print a copier test page to verify the copier is functioning normally.
2. To confirm this connection, turn on the copier and the E-820 and print a Test Page
from the E-820 Control Panel.
To print a Test Page, press the Menu button on the Control Panel to access the
Functions menu. Choose Print Pages, and then choose Test Page.
3. With both the copier and the E-820 turned off, connect the network cable to the
E-820.
The network should already be installed and operational.
4. Turn on the copier and the E-820.
Configuring the network server
If you require a network server, you must configure that server to provide client access
to the E-820 as a color printer. To configure a network server in a Windows or UNIX
network environment, see the Configuration Guide . For Token Ring, Novell, and
Windows NT/2000 (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers must be configured
for printing to the E-820 before you configure E-820 network settings in Setup.
For more information, see the Configuration Guide .

7Preparing to print
Setting up the E-820 from the Control Panel
Setup configures the E-820 to communicate with other devices and manage print jobs.
You must perform Setup the first time you turn on the E-820 after new system
software is loaded or any time Server software is reinstalled. Initial Setup must
be performed at the E-820 Control Panel.
Perform the following Setup options in the order listed:
•
Server Setup
—specifies system options.
•
Network Setup
—specifies all the active network systems that transmit print jobs
to the E-820.
•
Printer Setup
—specifies how print jobs and queues are managed.
N
OTE
:
This is the minimum setup required to enable your E-820 to begin printing.
To configure network settings in Setup, you need a live network connection so the
E-820 can query the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
To perform Setup from the Control Panel, select one menu after another and enter
information about your E-820 and your network and printing environment. In each
Setup screen, the last line of the display shows the name of the current Setup menu.
Most of the menus you see are displayed on the Control Panel Map, a flow chart you
can print from the Control Panel.

Safety warnings
The E-820 display window is a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is made of glass and
can break. Do not subject it to strong shocks.
If the display window breaks and the liquid crystal material leaks out, do not inhale,
ingest, or touch it. If the material gets on your skin or clothing, wash it off with soap
and water immediately.
Do not touch or put pressure on the panel. This will change the color of the panel.
Cleaning the E-820 display window
Clean the E-820 with a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol.
Never use water or ketone as these may permanently alter the display.
