33-18 Setting up Network ServersDocuColor on a TCP/IP network with Windows NTWhen a Windows NT computer is configured to connect to the DocuColor usingTCP/IP, it can print directly to the DocuColor. If the computer shares the printer overthe network, it is acting as a print server to Windows NT and Windows 95 clients.The client machines print to the DocuColor by printing to the Windows NT printserver. Printing can then be monitored and controlled at the Windows NT servermachine.Typical system combinations are:• Print server running Windows NT Server; clients running Windows NTWorkstation and Windows 95• Print server running Windows NT Workstation and clients running Windows 95With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can also run the remote utilities from aWindows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation computer. Windows 95 clients canalso run the WebTools over TCP/IP.If there are many Mac OS computers or other PostScript printers at the site, theWindows NT server can also use AppleTalk protocols for printing to the DocuColor.You can load AppleTalk on the Windows NT server as an alternative to TCP/IP (seepage 3-27).Tips for experts—Windows NT with TCP/IPSetting up printing from Windows NT using TCP/IP protocols is similar in somerespects to setting up UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP networkconnections are made from Windows NT workstations, note the following:• Make sure you have a valid IP address for the DocuColor and for any workstations thatwill print to it or run the remote utilities.• In DocuColor Network Setup>Protocol Setup>TCP/IP Setup>Ethernet Setup (or TokenRing Setup), enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address for the DocuColor. Also enter theSubnet mask and Gateway address.• Make sure your DocuColor name and address are listed in a domain name services(DNS) or a host name database used by your system.• Make sure your system host table includes the correct internal name for the DocuColoras a remote printer.
