Configuring a Windows NT server to support the DocuColor

Adding the DocuColor to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT servers and Windows NT clients,
use the directions in this section. If the network also includes UNIX workstations, also
check the directions on page 3-31.

:

1.

On the DocuColor Control Panel, perform Server Setup, Network Setup and Printer
Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the DocuColor, Subnet mask, and
Gateway address). In Printer Setup, publish the Print queue.

2.

Register the IP address of the DocuColor in the host name database used by your sys-
tem.

For installations that don’t have a network administrator or a central host name
database, add the DocuColor to the

hosts

file on the Windows NT server. Also add it

to the

hosts

file on any workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the remote

utilities.

Adding a DocuColor entry to the Windows NT hosts file

The

hosts

file maps remote devices to IP addresses. Host names are used in TCP/IP

environments to locate IP addresses. Users can then communicate with any device over
TCP/IP by using the host name rather than having to remember its IP address.

A generic

hosts

file is added to the Windows directory when you install TCP/IP

support.

If there is no system-wide host name database, use the following procedure to

create a local

hosts

file. If there is a system-wide host database, skip the following

procedure.
