Introduction to the PhaserShare Administrator
The PhaserShare Administrator is a powerful tool for network and system
administrators designed to simplify administration and make Tektronix printers
easy to share. The PhaserShare Administrator’s key features are listed here:
■
Printer configuration reporting.
You can control printer settings and
network settings. You can remotely set the print server name, IPX frame
types, and many more NetWare parameters, bringing printer control to
your desktop.
■
Printer management.
The PhaserShare Administrator is a valuable printer
management tool for network administrators. With real time printer
messages and access to a remote printer control panel, administrators can
resolve many printing problems without leaving their desks. By using the
Notify List to send printer alerts, the network administrator is the first to
know if a printing problem exists.
■
Network configuration.
The PhaserShare Administrator supports automatic
driver distribution and queue management. Once you install a Tektronix
printer driver on a network server, the driver is automatically available to
all network users.
■
Job accounting.
Job accounting allows you to track printer usage by
individual user and job on NetWare networks.
