Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers
Network installation overview
The printer’s Configuration Page
Your printer can generate a Configuration Page that lists the following information:
■ General printer information, including TekColor settings
■ Communication and network parameters for all ports
■ SCSI disk settings (if the printer has a SCSI port)
The information supplied on the Configuration Page is helpful when you are
installing and configuring the printer on a network. There are two ways to print the
Configuration Page:
■ Use the printer’s front panel. You can easily print the Configuration Page
from the printer’s front panel. Use this method if your printer is not yet
configured on the network. Refer to:
■ “Printing a Configuration Page: Phaser 840 front panel” on page 7.
■ “Printing a Configuration Page: Phaser 740 and 360 front panels” on
page 7.
■ “Printing a Configuration Page: Phaser 780 front panel” on page 7.
■ Use PhaserLink Printer Management Software. With a TCP/IP
connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink
Printer Management Software; see “Printing a Configuration Page:
PhaserLink Printer Management Software” on page 7.
Step 1 Unpack and set up
the printer.
This step must be done before attempting to configure the printer on a network.
Printer setup includes installing ink or toner, loading paper trays, and turning on
the printer. See your printer’s user documentation for information about printer
setup.
Step 2 Install the network
card in the printer.
This step is necessary if the printer is to be equipped with an optional network
card. It is not necessary when using the printer’s built-in Ethernet connector.
This step is done at the factory when a network card is purchased initially with
your printer.
When a network card is purchased later as an upgrade kit, follow the
installation instructions included with the card.
Information on physically connecting the printer to networks is provided in this
manual:
For Ethernet, see “PhaserShare Series B Ethernet interface” on page 11.
