Stages of installation on the network
Installing the EX/i Print Server on a network requires configuring the network environment,
connecting the EX/i Print Server, preparing computers for printing, and administering the
EX/i Print Server after installation.
Configure the network and servers, and ensure that there is a live network connection
before
you configure network settings in Setup. This allows the EX/i Print Server to query the
network for zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the EX/i Print Server, printer, or network at your
site, alter the settings to correspond to the changed environment. Changing network or port
settings may require that you make changes to other Setup options, as well.
