Network Utilities for Phaser Color Printers
Setting your printerÕs IP address information in the printerÕs internal
memory (printer-based configuration)
With this method, you can set the printerÕs IP address information and other
TCP/IP parameters by sending PostScript Þles to the printer. Shell scripts
for creating the PostScript Þles are provided on the UNIX version of the
printerÕs network utilities diskettes.
The advantage of this method is that each printer has a permanent setup
stored in its non-volatile memory and is not dependent on a boot server for
boot information. The disadvantage is that you must configure each printer
individually.
Before performing this procedure, you must install the Þles from the UNIX
version of your printerÕs network utilities diskettes on to your host
computer. If you have not already installed the Þles, see ÒInstalling Þles
from your printerÕs network utilities diskettesÓ on page 5-3. Your host
spooling system must also be conÞgured (see ÒConÞguring your hostÓ on
page 5-16).
