Preparing for Installation
Network
❑ What is the network cable and connection type?
•Unshielded twisted pair for 100/1000BaseT
❑ Is the network connection ready and tested for ColorPASS installation?
To verify that the network is functioning before you attach the ColorPASS:
• 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 Quick Start Guide.
System contact person
❑ Will the person responsible for the computers and the network be available at the time
set for installation? Find out the name of the system contact person.
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 ColorPASS and confirms network
functionality with the connector in place before the date scheduled for the ColorPASS
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
ColorPASS (user documentation is also included) onto networked PC and Mac OS
computers that will print to the ColorPASS.
NOTE: This guide covers hardware installation and service. It provides general
information on connecting the ColorPASS to the customer’s network. Network setup
and configuration information goes beyond the scope of this guide. For network
setup and configuration information, refer the network administrator to the
Configuration Guide.
