Installing the PPD file for UNIX

You need to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file
for your specific printer model. Because different software
applications require the PPD file to reside in different locations,
first determine the appropriate directory for installing the PPD file
by referring to your application software documentation. Then
enter the following:

In the example above, is the file for your printer model.
The files are stored in the PPD directory and named
XDP####.PPD, where #### is your printer model number; for
example XDP4890.PPD or XDP4635.PPD.

NOTE: For the DocuColor 2060 NPs/IPS, use the Xerox driver
for the DocuPrint 180 NPS/IPS, and use the 2060 PPD.

For FTP PC/TCP client installation, enter any character string
and at the “Password” prompt.

Installing the Decomposition Service UNIX Tools

Installation of the Decomposition Tools on a Sun workstation is
identical for the Solaris and SunOS operating environments.
Installation on an Apollo workstation may be done similarly.

The UNIX and Solaris versions are compressed and tared. The
commands to install the tools require Superuser privilege to
create a directory. Subsequent steps require appropriate access
rights, depending on the directory permissions.

NOTE: Some older daemons may need to be killed before
attempting to install the Decomposition Service Tools.
