8825/8830 Controller Setup Manual for Firmware 6.0 2
Getting Started (continued)
Controller Overview
If you are not familiar with the Controller power switch, ports and operation of
the Printer Control panel, refer to this section.
Note: Changes to Controller parameters require up to 60 seconds to be
written to the system memory. When setting changes have been made, and
especially after a Factory Default Reset, wait 60 seconds for the changes to
take effect.
Setting the Controller Port Defaults
The Controller will operate with one, two, or all ports active. The optional,
3003-XTP Network Interface Card (NIC) and optional, external Ethernet
adapter also allow network-to-print communications using TCP/IP, IPX/SPX,
NetBEUI, DLC and EtherTalk protocols. A 10/100 Ethernet interface,
supporting TCP/IP is standard on the N5T, CNG, and new EV4 Controllers.
To prepare the Controller to print:
• Locate all the port(s) to be used. Refer to Controller Overview section of
this document for instructions on preparing each individual port to print.
• Connect cables and interface devices to the appropriate ports, then refer
to Viewing the System Configuration Defaults section of this document
for instructions on activating the port(s).
• Load your workstation with the desired client software to manage the job
flow to the selected port(s). The software manuals contain install
instructions for each of the Windows platforms, so use the correct
procedure.
• When using the optional NIC, refer to Viewing the System Configuration
Defaults section of this document to enable the appropriate protocol(s).
Additional network setup information is contained in the Xerox 8825/8830
Network Administrator’s Guide that was shipped with your 8825/8830
System.
Setting up the Ten Custom Print Job Defaults
Ten sets of custom job defaults may be assigned and stored for future use.
These custom job default set values may be entered one of two ways:
• Remotely - Using a Workstation with the appropriate software loaded
(such as Netscape 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0, or higher), enter the IP
Address of the printer's Controller into the URL box of the browser and
press ENTER. Go to the Miscellaneous Page of the Web Printer
Manager Tool, located in the Printer Setup Group, accessed through the
Printer Defaults hypertext link. The custom job defaults are labeled
"Active User Setup" on this Web PMT page.
• Manually - Using the 8825/8830 Printer Control Panel. When using this
method, refer to ”Setting the Active Parameters Option” in the
“Configuring the Printer Setup Defaults” section of this manual.
