9 PhaserLink Printer Management Software

PhaserLink Printer Management software is a printer administration and support tool using World Wide Web technology. With PhaserLink software, you can access printer status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP network using a web browser. PhaserLink Printer Management software gives you the following capabilities:

■Receive printer status and manage your printer over the network using a standard web browser.

■Define a link to your local web server’s support page.

■Access on-line manuals and technical support information by using built-in links to the Tektronix web site.

PhaserLink Printer Management software provides an easy-to-use, consistent interface that you can use for most of the configuration tasks described throughout this guide.

Accessing printer information from a browser

Once a TCP/IP connection to the printer 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-addressis the IP address you set during TCP/IP configuration.

N O T E

Some platforms and browsers allow you to set a name/IP address pair in the UNIX host table (or equivalent 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://Phaser840-Marketing/
