Preparing for Installation

Network

What is the network cable and connection type?

• Unshielded twisted pair for 100/1000BaseT

Is the network connection ready and tested for ColorPASS installation?

To verify that the network is functioning before you attach the ColorPASS:

• Ask the network administrator to print a document on a shared printer over

the network.

• Ask the network administrator to verify the computer and network requirements as

specified in Quick Start Guide.

System contact person

Will the person responsible for the computers and the network be available at the time
set for installation? Find out the name of the system contact person.

Setting customer expectations

If the site is ready, installation takes about one hour. The customer should be informed of
the following:

• Some nodes on the network may be unavailable for up to one hour.

• The copier may be unavailable for up to one hour.

• The network administrator needs to be available during the installation for

network connectivity.

Equipment downtime and impact on the network can be minimized if the network
administrator installs a network connector for the ColorPASS and confirms network
functionality with the connector in place before the date scheduled for the ColorPASS
installation.

• The network administrator should have a networked computer available during the

installation. The appropriate software should already be installed. Documentation for
the networked computer and the network operating software should be available.

• The network administrator should install the user software shipped with the

ColorPASS (user documentation is also included) onto networked PC and Mac OS
computers that will print to the ColorPASS.
