Before you proceed
No two DocuColor 40 CP sites are identical, and the DocuColor 40 CP system can be
configured to suit your site’s particular requirements for flexibility or control. As the
system administrator, you decide the level of network and software access that will be
accessible to users.
Before you proceed with installation and setup, make sure you understand the
spectrum of access and control possible with the DocuColor 40 CP. Then decide what
level is most appropriate for your site.
Levels of access and control
The level of control you implement can range from strict to moderate to minimal, or
none. Strictest control might be appropriate for a high-volume printing environment
where an administrator or operator controls the job flow and all printing; jobs sent by
users are spooled (stored) to the server disk until the operator decides it is time to print
them. In addition, only the administrator and/or operator have access to certain
software tools.
Least control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the local network
can control all printing and server functions. Although there may be an administrator
or operator charged with certain duties, all users have equal access to the system and its
software tools.
When you configure the DocuColor 40 CP by performing Setup, you (the system
administrator) implement a particular level of control by enabling (or not enabling)
printing connections, passwords, and access to WebTools.
DocuColor 40 CP print connections
The DocuColor 40 CP supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue,
and Direct connection. These print connections can be enabled, or “published” to
users on the network, when you configure the server Setup. The Print queue and the
Direct connection give remote users more direct access to the server than the Hold
queue. Therefore, do not enable the Print queue and the Direct connection in
environments where stricter control is desired.
