2-2 GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT
Installing Xerox Client Software for DOS
You install Xerox Client Software on client workstations using the ftp
command to log on to the Printer Controller, retrieve an installation
command file, and execute it. This procedure automatically
downloads the software.
Xerox Client Software works only for the drive on which it is installed.
You must be running Wollongong Pathway Access release 3.1, FTP
PC/TCP, or Sun PC-NFS V5.1software.
Note: Version 3.0 of FTP’s PC/TCP is recommended because of a
change FTP made to the 4.0 version of their software. If you are
using version 4.0, you can copy the 3.0 version of the FTP.EXE file
to the PCTCP directory and use it for this procedure.
Note: The Wollongong TCP/IP communication packages for some
versions of PC-DOS may not support 16-bit Ethernet communication
cards from 3Com and Western Digital Corporation. It may also
intermittently hang up if you use a batch file to transmit a large
number of print jobs back to back.
To install Xerox Client Software, complete the following steps at the
client:
1. Ensure that the network software is installed and running.
2. If the host table file does not exist, create it.
3. Verify that the names and corresponding TCP/IP addresses of
the Printer Controller and the PC client itself are in the host
table file.
• For Pathway Access clients, this filename is “hosts,” and it
resides in the \pathway directory or in the directory where
the Pathway Access software resides.
• For FTP PC/TCP clients, this filename is “hosts.txt” and it
may reside in the \etc directory.
• For PC-NFS clients, this filename is “hosts,” and it resides
in the \nfs directory.
Note: If the network configuration file does not define the
location of the host table absolutely to include the drive
specification, the user will be unable to print from other
drives.
4. Verify that the PC can communicate with the Printer Controller,
by entering one of the following:
• ping <Printer Controller name>
• ftp <Printer Controller name>
If the response is “unknown host,” go back to step 2.
5. Change the current directory to the \ directory.
