Stages of installation on the network
Installing the E-42B on a network requires configuring the network environment, connecting
the E-42B, preparing computers for printing, and administering the E-42B 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 E-42B to query the network for
zones, servers, and server-based queues.
Whenever you change the configuration of the E-42B, copier/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.
TOINSTALL THE E-42B ON THE NETWORK
1 Configure the network environment
Configure network servers to provide users with access to the E-42B as a network printer. For
information about configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network
environments as they relate specifically to the E-42B, see page 16. For information about
using your network, see the documentation that accompanies your network.
2 Physically connect the E-42B to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the E-42B. Obtain cable, route it to the location where the E-42B
is to be installed, and attach the cable to the network connector of the E-42B. For details, see
page 18.
3 Set up the E-42B
Configure the E-42B for your printing and network environment (see page 23).
4 Prepare computers for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install user software, and connect computers to the
network. The software installation is described in Printing.
