PLANNING AND PREPARATION
Before You Begin
Installing and configuring a system with as many integrated
components as Toshiba’s e-STUDIO GL-1010 Electronic
Document Processing System is not as simple as connecting pins
and cables. However, you will find the installation procedure
fairly straightforward, especially if you read Part 1,
Setting Up and
Installing the GL-1010
, of this guide in its entirety. This helps you
to develop your installation strategy with greater understanding
of the ramifications your decisions carry.
Developing an Installation Strategy
The following guidelines should make you aware of potential
issues, but cannot possibly take the place of your knowledge and
experience in administering your own network. These steps
should not be viewed as the definitive strategic guide, but rather
as a starting point from which you can develop your own
installation plan.
Notify Users
Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing a new
one, you do not want users inconvenienced by the installation
process. It is recommended that you provide advance notification
that walk-up functions and network printing will be disabled
temporarily. It is further recommended that you select an
installation time during non-peak hours so you do not impact
network traffic.
