Preparing for Installation
Network
❑
What is the network cable and connection type?
❑
Is the network connection ready and tested for Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) installation?
To verify that the network is functioning before you connect the
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1):
• Ask the network administrator to print a document on a shared printer over the
network.
• Ask the network administrator to verify the computer and network requirements as
specified in
Getting Started
.
System contact person
❑
Will the person responsible for the computers and the network be available at the time
set for installation? Get a name as a contact.
Setting customer expectations
If the site is ready, installation takes about one hour. The customer should be informed of
the following:
• Some nodes on the network may be unavailable for up to one hour.
• The copier may be unavailable for up to one hour.
• The network administrator needs to be available during the installation for network
connectivity.
Equipment downtime and impact on the network can be minimized if the network
administrator installs a network connector for the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) and
confirms network functionality with the connector in place before the date scheduled
for the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) installation.
• The network administrator should have a networked computer available during the
installation. The appropriate software should already be installed. Documentation for
the networked computer and the network operating software should be available.
• The network administrator should install the user software shipped with the
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) (user documentation is also included) onto networked
PC and Mac OS computers that will print to the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1).
