Since you are upgrading your DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180
EPS, many of these parameters have already been determined.
However, you should refer to "Preparing for installation" in the
Installation Planning Guide for specific information.
The following is an overview of the tasks associated with setting
up your system to accept IPDS data from an IBM host. Some
tasks that typically need to be performed prior to installation are:
•
Install Token Ring to the system location, if applicable.
•
Install Ethernet to the system location, if applicable.
•
Define the printer to your host as an AFP Type 1, Group 3
printer.
•
Specify a superuser password.
Defining the printer to a host
In order to send data from the IBM host to the printing system, you
must define the printer on your host. The IBM host to which you
are connecting the printing system, as well as the type of
connection used, determines how the printer is defined on the
host.
For example, you may connect the printing system to an AS/400
host through a Token Ring network, or to a PC with OS/2 software
via Ethernet.
For detailed information about defining the printer to your specific
host and connectivity requirements, refer to "Preparing for
installation" in the DocuPrint NPS/IPS Installation Planning Guide.
To efficiently install and set up the NPS/IPS Extension option on
your 100/115/135/155/180 EPS system, certain activities need to
be performed by you and by Xerox.
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the NPS/IPS
Extension hardware and IPS/NPS software. The steps in the
installation process typically occur in the following order:
1. Xerox personnel install the NPS/IPS software and the NPS/
IPS Extension hardware.
2. Xerox personnel obtain a software license authorizing you to
use the IPS/NPS software.
