4.1 Administrator Installation and Setup

The administrator installation can be performed on Windows 95/98/Me/XP,

Windows NT, and Windows 2000 with the same user interface. Before the installation, verify that your network protocol is installed on your PC (TCP/IP,

IPX, and/or NetBEUI ). Once you’ve done that, follow steps 1–13 (starting below).

1. Insert the included CD into your CD-ROM drive. Windows should automatically execute the Autorun.exe program. If not, type Autorun.exe

and press Enter at the CD-ROM drive’s root directory.

2. The Installation Manager will appear (see Figure 4-2).

So far, you have completed the following tasks:

• Installed all utilities and drivers to the administrator’s PC.

• Configured the print server (including the print server name and network protocol).

• Added the print server’s network port to the administrator’s PC.

There will be several utilities in the print server’s Program folder. These include: network ports quick setup, local printer port management tool (see Section 4.3 for more information), remote ports, remote printer port management tool (see

Section 4.3

for more information), NetWare quick setup, NetWare quick installation software (see Chapter 6 for more information), print server configuration, complete print server management tool (see Chapter 8 for more information), uninstall, and assistant for removing all installed administrator software.

If you want to print from this administrator’s PC to the print server, all you need to do is to perform the procedure as described on the next page. If you don’t care to, proceed to Section 4.2 to perform the client installation procedure.
