Document Introduction
The purpose of this Technical Information Guide (TIG) is
to serve the informational needs of System Administrators
with a reference providing the platform-specific
information necessary during the DocuPrint network
setup and configuration. Software-related information is
organized by platform-specific chapters.
Purpose of this
Section The purpose of this introductory section is to give a brief
overview of the network installation process, and to
provide a guide to the information contained in this
Technical Information Guide (TIG).
Objective Using the information contained in this document,
System Administrators will be able to connect the
DocuPrint printer to their network, configure the printer
for optimum printing performance, and troubleshoot
printing problems.
Requirements To correctly install and configure your printer based on
the information in this document you will need:
• A DocuPrint network printer or a printer with a Xerox
CentreDirect External Print Server (External Ethernet
Adapter).
• A Windows, Macintosh, UNIX or OS/2 workstation
with appropriate operating system software installed.
• A working knowledge of your operating system and
your network topology.
In this manual there are many examples utilizing Ethernet.
These same examples apply to Token Ring if that option is
installed.
