Before you begin
Before you install the XDPE/400 software, make sure you meet the 
installation requirements discussed in this manual. Before you begin to 
use the XDPE/400 software, verify that XDPE/400 has been installed and 
the IVP run successfully.
To install the XDPE/400 software, you must know how to use standard 
AS/400 CL commands, including CRTUSRPRF, ADDIRE, RSTLIB, and 
RSTDLO. For information about these commands, refer to the OS/400 CL 
Reference and the OS/400 Printer Device Programming. 
In addition, you should be familiar with the basic AS/400 printing 
concepts, the Xerox printers supported by XDPE/400, and any twinax 
interface boxes you want to use with these Xerox printers. If you will be 
using network-attached printers, you should also be familiar with basic 
networking concepts. Refer to the OS/400 Printer Device Programming 
for a complete explanation of the AS/400 printing process.
