netmask, and default router
•
AppleTalk network information, if applicable
•
Novell network information, if applicable

Since you are upgrading your DocuPrint 100/115/135/155/180
EPS, many of these parameters have already been determined.
However, you should refer to “Preparing for installation” in the
Installation Planning Guide for specific information.
DocuPrint IPS Extension
The following is an overview of the tasks associated with setting
up your system to accept IPDS data from an IBM host. Some
tasks that typically need to be performed prior to installation are:
•
Install Token Ring to the system location, if applicable.
•
Install Ethernet to the system location, if applicable.
•
Define the printer to your host as an AFP Type 1, Group 3
printer.
•
Specify a superuser password.
Defining the printer to a host
In order to send data from the IBM host to the printing system,
you must define the printer on your host. The IBM host to which
you are connecting the printing system, as well as the type of
connection used, determines how the printer is defined on the
host.
For example, you may connect the printing system to an AS/400
host through a Token Ring network, or to a PC with OS/2
software via Ethernet.
