Installation and Configuration Tasks for FASTPXNS
Installation and Configuration Tasks for
FASTPXNS
To install and configure a FASTPXNS print process, perform the following tasks:
1. Install the FASTPXNS object code ($SYSTEM.SYSTEM.FASTPXNS) This step is
described in
Installing a FASTP Network Print Process
on page 2-2.
2. Add the following configuration information to a Spooler subsystem either
interactively or in a command file:
a. Create one or more FASTPXNS print processes using the Spoolcom PRINT
command. Creation of a print process is described in step
2
of
Spooler
Configuration Tasks
on page 2-14.
b. Associate each device name (that is, the device name designated for an Xerox
printer) with the appropriate FASTPXNS print process and specify the
appropriate spooler device attributes for each device using the Spoolcom DEV
command.
A FASTPXNS print process supports a maximum of 32 Xerox printers.
General use of the DEV command is described in step
3
of
Spooler
Configuration Tasks
on page 2-14. The specification of spooler device names
and device attributes for XNS printers is discussed in
Spooler Configuration
Considerations for FASTPXNS
on page 7-8.
c.
Designate one or more Spooler job locations for each Xerox printer and
associate each one with the appropriate device name using the Spoolcom JOB
command. Designation of a spooler job location is described in step
4
of
Spooler Configuration Tasks
on page 2-14.
3. Create a FASTCNFG file to contain network protocol and transport parameters for
the devices. The creation of a FASTCNFG file is discussed in general terms in
Configuring a FASTCNFG File
on page 2-17. FASTCNFG DEVICE attributes for
XNS printers are discussed in
FASTCNFG DEVICE Configuration For FASTPXNS
on page 7-11.
