1-2 Connecting to the Network
Stages of installation on the network
Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a
successful installation are:
•Physically connecting the GA-1120 to a functioning network
Prepare a network node for the GA-1120—obtain cable, route it to the location where
the GA-1120 will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface (for
details, see page 3-9).
NOTE: If you plan to run Command WorkStation software, you will need to install the
software and connect the Command WorkStation computer to the network along with
the GA-1120. For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.
• Configuring the network server
When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide
client access to the GA-1120 as a color PostScript printer. For information on
configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see
Chapter 2.
• Setting up the GA-1120
Configure the GA-1120 for your particular printing and network environment.
First read Chapter 2, and then see subsequent chapters for details.
•Preparing client workstations for printing
Install the files needed for printing, install additional user software, and connect the
client to the GA-1120 over the network. These steps are described in the User Software
Installation Guide, and some information is also provided in Chapter 2.
•Administering the GA-1120
Monitor and maintain system performance and troubleshoot problems that arise.
For details, see Chapter 7 of this manual and the Job Management Guide.
