PhaserLink Printer Management Software
Accessing printer information from a browser
Before you can view your printer’s information pages, you must connect the printer
to the network using a TCP/IP connection and set the printer’s IP address.
Once the TCP/IP connection has been established and the printer’s IP address is set,
you can visit the printer’s home page from your web browser by entering the
printer’s URL (Uniform Resource Locator), just as you would to visit any web site.
The printer’s default URL is listed here:
http://printer’s-IP-address/
where printer’s-IP-address is the IP address you set for the printer during TCP/IP
configuration.

Some platforms and browsers allow you to set a name/IP address pair in the UNIX
host table (or equivalent network name-server database on a non-UNIX host); the
printer’s name can be used in place of the IP address in the URL. For example:
http://Phaser360-Marketing/
Printer information pages
Your printer’s Current Status page is your starting place for viewing your printer’s
information. From the Current Status page, you can access other pages internal to
the printer, and you can link to a number of external web sites as well.
PhaserLink Printer Management Software pages have three components:
■ Header. The header is at the top of the page. It is the same for all printer
pages. The header shows the Tektronix logo, a picture of the printer, and
the printer’s model number.
■ Main section. The top of the main section reports the page name and the
printer name. The rest of the middle section is different for each printer.
■ Navigation links. Five navigation links take you to other printer pages.
The following table describes the links and the pages they lead to.
