1–2 CSX Color Server Installation Guide

Overview

This Installation Guide describes installation and setup procedures,

including installing print drivers. It also describes the CSX Color Server

utilities that help you manage your system.

Printing with the CSX Color Server

You can send and import any supported PDL file (for example, PostScript,

PDF, EPS, VPS, VIPP) to print on the CSX Color Server. You can print

from any open application on a PC, Macintosh or Unix client workstation.

You can import a PDL file from the local hard drives, CD-ROM drives, or

floppy drive connected to the CSX Color Server. You can also import files

to be printed over the network from remote clients/file servers.

Use one of the following methods to print with the CSX Color Server:

Print from a client workstation using any application (such as,

QuarkXpress, Adobe PhotoShop or Microsoft Word).

Print by downloading PostScript and CreoScitex VPS (Variable Print

Specification) files from a client workstation. On a PC, this can be done

using a downloading application such as PrintFile

©

. On the Macintosh, it

can be done by moving files using the drag-and-drop operation, or using

the Adobe Downloader application.

Print by importing PDL files to the CSX Color Server.

The CSX Color Server enables you to choose the predefined network printer

to which you want to print. This feature greatly increases efficiency, as all

the job settings of the network printer will automatically be applied to your

print jobs.

YNote: Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000, Windows NT operating

systems are supported.

Setting up Client Workstations 1–3

Setting Up Client Workstations on the CSX

Color Server

Default Network Printers on PC and Macintosh Clients

For Macintosh and PC networks, the CSX Color Server provides two default

network printers:

ProcessPrint

Files sent to this printer are processed and sent to the Xerox DocuColor

2060/2045 through the CSX Color Server.

PrintToStore

Files sent to this printer are automatically processed in Ready-To-Print

(RTP) format. Then they are stored in the CSX Color Server’s Storage

Folder until the print operator re-submits them for printing.

1–4 CSX Color Server Installation Guide

Defining a Printer for Windows Client Workstations

When adding a new CSX Color Server printer to a client workstation, there

PostScript file using the CSX Color Server PPD, it is necessary to send the

PPD separately to view printing options.

To copy the PPD from the CSX Color Server for distribution on a

diskette or by e-mail:
