Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
• Physically connecting the ColorPASS to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the ColorPASS—obtain cable and route it to the location
where the ColorPASS will be installed (near the copier) and attach the cable to the
network interface of the ColorPASS. See page 2-9 for details.

If you plan to run the Command WorkStation software, you will need to install
the software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along
with the ColorPASS. See
Getting Started for details.
• Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the ColorPASS as a color PostScript printer. See Chapter 5 for
information on configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network
environments.
• Setting up the ColorPASS
Configure the ColorPASS for your particular printing and network environment. First
read Chapter 2, and then see the following chapters for details.
• Preparing client workstations for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the
client to the ColorPASS over the network. These steps are described in
Getting Started,
and some information is provided in Chapter 5 of this manual.
• Administering the ColorPASS
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise. See
Chapter 6 and the Job Management Guide for details.
