Installation
This chapter describes the activities performed by you and Xerox
during the installation of the Xerox DocuPrint 4050 or 4090 NPS
hardware and software components. Before installation can begin,
you must complete the tasks described in the “Preparing for
installation” chapter of this guide.
Installation process
Xerox is responsible for the physical installation of the 4050/4090
NPS hardware components and the software.
For customers outside the United States, contact your local Xerox
representative or operating company for your specific installation
process.
The installation process can take one or several days to complete.
Equipment, software kits, and documentation kits may all arrive in
one day, or over the course of several days. When all of the
necessary items are in place, Xerox personnel will complete the
installation of the NPS components.
In the United States, the steps in the installation process typically
occur in the following order:
1. Xerox personnel installs all DocuPrint 4050/4090 NPS printer
hardware and connects the printer controller to your network
through the Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI connector you
supply. This process takes approximately four hours if all the
necessary network and electrical connectors are in place.
2. Xerox personnel loads printer controller software on the printer
controller (approximately 1.5 hours).
3. Xerox personnel downloads Xerox client software if applicable,
on one client workstation to validate the installation (15
minutes). Software is downloaded on another client workstation
as part of training conducted by your systems analyst. All other
client software installations are your responsibility. Refer to the
Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring
and Managing the System
for more information.
If your site uses third-party Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) lpr networking software, refer to the
Xerox DocuPrint Network Printer Series Guide to Configuring
and Managing the System
for information on modifying the
printcap file.
4. Xerox personnel test the system and run sample jobs (30
minutes).
