Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP
DocuColor 40 CP on a TCP/IP network with
Windows NT 4.0
When a Windows NT 4.0 computer is configured to connect to the
DocuColor 40 CP using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the DocuColor 40 CP. If the
computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 clients. Client machines print to the
DocuColor 40 CP by printing to the Windows NT 4.0 print server. Printing can then
be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT 4.0 server machine.
Typical system combinations are:
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0 Server; clients running Windows NT 4.0
Workstation and Windows 95
• Print server running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and clients running
Windows 95
With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run the DocuColor utilities and WebTools
from a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 computer.
If there are many Mac OS computers or other PostScript printers at the site, the
Windows NT 4.0 server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the
DocuColor 40 CP. You can load AppleTalk on the Windows NT 4.0 server as an
alternative to TCP/IP (see page 4-24).
Tips for experts—Windows NT 4.0 with TCP/IP
Setting up printing from Windows NT 4.0 using TCP/IP protocols is similar in some
respects to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network
connections are made from Windows NT 4.0 workstations, note the following:
•
Make sure you have a valid IP address for the DocuColor 40 CP and for any worksta-
tions that will print to it or run the DocuColor utilities.
•
In DocuColor 40 CP Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup>Ethernet Setup (or
Token Ring Setup), enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address for the DocuColor 40 CP.
Also enter the Subnet mask and Gateway address.
