Stages of installation on the network
Installing the E-42B on a network requires configuring the network environment, connecting
the E-42B, preparing computers for printing, and administering the E-42B after installation.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection
before
you configure network settings in Setup. This allows the E-42B to query the network for
zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the E-42B, copier/printer, or network at your site,
alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port
settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.
