Quick path to installation
The DocuColor 2006 can use Ethernet cabling (with the optional Token
Ring adapter) to multiple workstations. It also supports a parallel cable
connection to a single workstation.
Ethernet cabling
The standard Ethernet cabling includes the following:
•
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), defined as Category 5 for
100BaseT (Fast Ethernet)
•
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Category 3, 4, or 5 for use with
10BaseT
The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45
socket on the printer.
Do not attach cables to more than one Ethernet connector; only one
Ethernet connection can be made at any one time.
Parallel cable connection
The DocuColor 2006 can also accept print jobs from a Windows
computer through its high-speed, bi-directional parallel port. This
connection is useful for portable computers and for workstations that
use dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP,
or IPX. Parallel port connections can be used simultaneously with
network connections.
The parallel port accepts a standard Centronics-type (IEEE-1284)
printer cable.
The diagrams on the following pages illustrate typical system
installations. Refer to the page with your preferred platform and
network type. For actual installation and setup, refer to the chapters
that are appropriate to your system.
