Your printerÕs conÞguration page
Your printer can generate a conÞguration page that lists the following types
of information:
■
General printer information
■
TekColor settings
■
Communication and network parameters for all ports
■
SCSI disk settings (if the printer has a SCSI port)
The information supplied on the conÞguration page is very helpful when
you are installing and conÞguring the printer on a network.
There are two ways to print the conÞguration page:
■
Use the printerÕs rear-panel DIP switches. See your printerÕs user
manual for instructions on printing the conÞguration page by
setting DIP switches. Use this method if your printer is not yet
conÞgured on the network.
■
Send a PostScript language Þle from your printerÕs network
utilities diskettes to the printer. You will not be able to send
PostScript language Þles to the printer over Ethernet until your
printer is conÞgured on the network. See ÒYour printerÕs network
utilities diskettesÓ on page 2-9 for more information on your
printerÕs network utilities diskettes.
■
From a Macintosh, send the Þle
Print ConÞguration Page.
The Þle is
self-sending. Select the printer in the
Chooser
, then double-click
the self-sending arrow icon to send the Þle to the printer.
■
From a PC, send the Þle PRNTCNFG.PS in the NET-UTIL directory.
Use the DOS COPY command to send the Þle to the printer.
■ From a UNIX workstation, send the Þle prntcnfg.ps.
Note
Do not attempt to use the Print ConÞguration Page command
in the LaserWriter UtilityÕs Utilities menu to print the
conÞguration page.
