About Pi5500 Setup
The Pi5500 fits into a variety of work environments. To prepare for printing at your
site, you need to do some initial configuration to specify the network environment and
the kind of printing you will do.
About Pi5500 Setup
When the copier is turned on after new system software is loaded, you (or the service
technician who loads the software) choose the language you want to use for Control
Panel menus and messages. After that, the Server, Network, Printer, PCL, PS, and Job
Log Setups, in that order, can be configured from the Control Panel.
On Novell or Windows NT (using TCP/IP) networks, the network servers should be
configured for printing to the Pi5500 before you enter network settings on the
Pi5500. The diagrams on pages 1-5 through 1-10 give chapter references for Network
Setup.
For Setup, you need a live network connection so the Pi5500 can query the network
for zones, servers, server-based queues, and other essential information. When you set
an IP address, subnet mask, or gateway address for the Pi5500 during Setup, you can
allow the Pi5500 to get these addresses automatically.
Whenever the configuration of the Pi5500, a copier, or the network itself changes at
your site, you can alter individual settings to correspond to the changed environment.
Likewise, if printing needs or administrative requirements change, you can alter the
corresponding settings.
