Setting up Network Servers
4.
To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any com-
puter on the network, at the command prompt, type:
ping <IP address>
Type the DocuColor IP address assigned in DocuColor Network Setup.
After the DocuColor is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you
gave to the DocuColor
ping <hostname>
The server should respond with a message such as
<IP address> is alive
Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address. To
stop the output, type
Control-C.
You can use the
ping
command at any time.
Printing and managing print jobs
UNIX printing commands and options are detailed in the manual pages for your sys-
tem. Some examples are given in the DocuColor User Guide.

:
•
On a UNIX system running SunOS 4 or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command
to send a job to the DocuColor.
•
On a UNIX system running Solaris 2 or any System V implementation of UNIX, use the
lp command to send a job to the DocuColor.
•
Windows NT users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send print jobs to a DocuColor
from their applications or from a command prompt.
Printing from applications uses the Windows NT PostScript driver. This gives
Windows NT users a larger selection of print options than printing from the com-
mand line.
