12 Chapter 1 Setting Up Client Workstations

Default Network Printers on PC and Macintosh Clients For Macintosh and PC networks, the CSX2000 Color Server provides three default network printers, known as virtual printers.

Virtual printers contain preset workflows that are automatically applied to all print jobs processed with that virtual printer. There is no requirement to reset job settings for each job. This functionality results in greatly increased printing efficiency.

CSX2000 Color Server preset virtual printers:

ProcessPrint Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and printed to the printer through the CSX2000 Color Server.

ProcessStore Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and printed to the Storage Folder of the CSX2000 Color Server. You can later submit the jobs to be printed, or change the parameters of a job and resubmit it for processing.

SpoolStore Files sent to this printer are automatically stored in the CSX2000 Color Server's Storage Folder until the print operator submits them for processing and printing.

An additional default network printer is provided for Macintosh networks.

FontDownLoader This is a special network printer used with Macintosh clients to download fonts. The FontDownLoader functions as a communications port, sending messages between the FontDownLoader program and the CSX2000 Color Server. It is not possible to send files via the FontDownLoader, only fonts.

The job (print) parameters set in the job override the parameters set in the virtual printer.

Default Network Printers on PC and Macintosh Clients 13

The CSX2000 Color Server enables you to select which virtual printer to print to. It also allows you to define new virtual printers, with printing workflows tailored to your specific job requirements.

For more information refer to the CSX2000 Color Server Printing Guide.

104 Chapter 2 Reinstalling your CSX2000 Color Server

Overview This chapter describes the methods for reinstalling your CSX2000 Color Server by complete overwrite or by system partition. It describes how to install the Windows NT operating system, the Creo Software Application, and the configuration of the system using the Configuration Wizard. In addition, there is a section on reinstalling the services for Macintosh, for customers that use multiple AppleTalk zones.

The CSX2000 Color Server is delivered to the customer site preloaded with the following software and configuration:

Windows NT 4.0 Server

MS Service Pack 6.0a high encryption

Internet Explorer 5.5 high encryption

Creo Application Software

Adobe Acrobat 4.0

Default network settings (hostname, IP address, network services and protocols)

It may, however, become necessary, for example after a system crash, to reinstall the system at the customers site.

The reinstallation is mostly unattended. User interaction is needed only for entering the OS license number and the computer hostname, for rebooting the computer when requested, for inserting the final application CD and for the Configuration Wizard. The reinstallation of the system requires two CD's: NT Server Fast Install V 2.0 CD #1 and CSX2000 Color Server Application SW CD#2.

Overview 105

The following table outlines the CSX2000 Color Server disk configuration:

There are two methods for reinstalling the system:

Creo Software Complete Overwrite Installation: This procedure replaces the entire system disk, the operating system partition, Creo application, and the user partition (Disks C: and D:) Complete Overwrite should be performed only when installing a new system.

Creo Software Preservation Installation (System Partition Overwrite): This procedure replaces only the operating system partition (Disk C:). System Partition Overwrite should be performed when the Windows NT Server operating system is corrupt and needs to be reinstalled.

C: Windows NT + application D: Spool + Shared + Output directory +APR HighRes files

Image Storage Image Storage

Notes:

1. Backup the CSX2000 Color Server configuration before loading the operating system to enable the restoration of customer settings.

2. It is recommended to back up your configuration on a floppy disk in case the system crashes.

3. Determine if VIPP or any other Xerox/Creo supported application is loaded on the CSX 2000 Color Server. Such applications will have to be reloaded after this reinstall is completed.

Virtual Printers

A virtual printer is a printer published on the network with specific parameters set for processing and printing on the CSX2000 Color Server. The CSX2000 Color Server contains a mechanism that automatically installs the published virtual printers on your client workstation with the PPD and suitable printer driver.

The CSX2000 Color Server is predefined with three virtual printers:

ProcessPrint Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and printed to the printer through the CSX2000 Color Server.

ProcessStore Files sent to this printer are automatically processed and printed to the Storage Folder of the CSX2000 Color Server. You can later submit the jobs to be printed, or change the parameters of a job and resubmit it for processing.

SpoolStore Files sent to this printer are automatically stored in the CSX2000 Color Server's Storage Folder until the print operator submits them for processing and printing.

If a job that is sent from the client, or downloaded to a particular virtual printer, contains preset parameters from the PPD, these options overwrite the parameters set in the virtual printer for that job. The 'Printer Default' options defined in the PPD use the default parameters set for that particular virtual printer.
