5. Connecting to the network Quick path to installation The DocuColor 2006 can use Ethernet cabling (with the optional Token Ring adapter) to multiple workstations. It also supports a parallel cable connection to a single workstation. Ethernet cabling The standard Ethernet cabling includes the following: • Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), defined as Category 5 for 100BaseT (Fast Ethernet) • Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Category 3, 4, or 5 for use with 10BaseT The cable uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector that plugs into the RJ-45 socket on the printer. Do not attach cables to more than one Ethernet connector; only one Ethernet connection can be made at any one time. Parallel cable connection The DocuColor 2006 can also accept print jobs from a Windows computer through its high-speed, bi-directional parallel port. This connection is useful for portable computers and for workstations that use dedicated networks using protocols other than AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or IPX. Parallel port connections can be used simultaneously with network connections. The parallel port accepts a standard Centronics-type (IEEE-1284) printer cable. The diagrams on the following pages illustrate typical system installations. Refer to the page with your preferred platform and network type. For actual installation and setup, refer to the chapters that are appropriate to your system. 5-4 Xerox DocuColor 2006
