Network installation overview
The following diagram summarizes the process of installing a Tektronix
printer on a network.
Step 1, unpacking and setting up your printer, must be done before
attempting to conÞgure the printer on a network. Printer setup includes
installing transfer rolls, loading paper trays, and turning on the printer. See
your printerÕs user manual for information about printer setup. ÒEthernet
connectionÓ on page 2-6 provides information about physically connecting
the printer to an Ethernet network.
Step 2 is done at the factory when the Ethernet interface is purchased
initially with your printer.
Step 3 is also done at the factory if the TCP/IP option is purchased initially
with the printer. When the Ethernet interface is purchased later as an
upgrade kit, instructions for installing the internal hardware are provided in
an instruction sheet supplied with the circuit board. For speciÞc instructions
on Step 3, sending the authorization code to the printer, see ÒAuthorizing the
TCP/IP protocolÓ on page 5-7.
Step 4 is conÞguration for any of the supported network protocols. See
Chapter 3 for EtherTalk, Chapter 4 for NetWare, and Chapter 5 for TCP/IP.
