2.4 Share timeout
When Xerox 4500 PS ETH operates as a print server for multiple
environments simultaneously, print corruption is avoided by excluding all
other printing as long as a print job is being printed. This is done via a
Share Timeout. The Share Timeout defines an idle time for switching
between printer sessions. As a default, the Share Timeout is set to 20
seconds, but this can be changed via the configuration file (See the
various configuration options for details ).
NOTE:
The Share Timeout must be set to a value which is less than the
printer’s internal printer share timer.
Native Share Strings:
No share string functionality is included in the Xerox 4500 PS
ETH when printing non-IPDS data, so it is up to the application to
ensure the correct printer environment.
IPDS Share Strings
To ensure that the printer environment is corre ct for IPDS printing, share
strings can be programmed using the MakeITDS Setup program.
IPDS resources downloaded to the printer are del eted on share
boundaries and are therefore downloaded to the next print job (next
usage).
2.5 Network installation
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Connect the appropriate network cable to the network port on the
PrintServer.
3. Switch on the printer.
4. Test the Xerox 4500 PS ETH (by pressing the TEST key).
When IP address has been defined:
If the TCP/IP is enabled, the LAN LED will - if BOOTP parameter set to
YES - start to flash as the Xerox 4500 PS ETH tries to contact a BOOTP
server. If no BOOTP server is availab le, the Xerox 4500 PS ETH will use
defaults. If valid default values are found, the LAN LED will remain lit.
The printer and network installation is now complete. For advanced
configuration, see the chapter “Configuration of Xerox 4500 PS ETH”.
