Sending the authorization code to your printer
The authorization code is derived from the printerÕs Ethernet address,
therefore, each authorization code is valid for only one speciÞc printer. If
you are installing several Tektronix printers on your network, be careful to
send each authorization code only to the printer for which it has been issued.
Note
If a Tektronix printer receives a valid authorization code that is
not its own, TCP/IP will not be authorized. Furthermore, if
TCP/IP is already authorized on the printer, the authorization
will be canceled if the printer is reset after receiving another
printerÕs authorization code. TCP/IP can be re-authorized by
sending the correct authorization code to the printer.
You can send the authorization code to the printer from a PC, a Macintosh,
or a UNIX host. The next three topics describe how to send the
authorization code to the printer.
