2-2 Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
Setting up PC-DOS workstations
This section describes the steps for installing the Xerox
Document Submission Client Software, the appropriate PPD
(PostScript Printer Description) file, and the Decomposition
Service Tools on a networked PC-DOS workstation.
In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print,
Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified
during installation or by using the Configure utility. Also, in order
to download the client software, FTP capability must be enabled
on the controller. This is specified during installation or via the
Configure utility. If security is a concern, FTP capability can be
disabled after the software is downloaded by using Configure.
For more information, see the chapter “Using utility commands”
in your
Guide to Configuring and Managing the System
.
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.
