Chapter 2. Planning Overview
Chapter Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the planning process for installing a 3130
printer.
There are two basic types of planning required for installing and using the 3130:
physical planning and system planning.
Physical planning consists of:
– Determining the location for the 3130
– Preparing a layout plan for the 3130
– Making sure all 3130 environmental, electrical, and space requirements are
met.
For more information, see Chapter 4, “Preparing the Physical Environment” on
page 19. In addition, IBM offers special assistance with physical planning.
Contact your IBM branch office for information.
System planning consists of:
– (IPDS-only) Ordering the Advanced Function Presentation licensed
programs and updates required to use the printer.
– (IPDS-only) Installing and testing the licensed programs and AFP
resources.
– (PostScript and PCL5e-only) Installing colon files and drivers.
– Verifying that the host operating system is at the correct level.
– Incorporating the 3130 into the system configuration and completing the
configuration work sheets.
For more information, see Chapter 3, “Preparing the Processing Environment”
on page 13 and Chapter 5, “Configuring the 3130” on page 25.
