Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers 2

Your printerÕs conÞguration page

Your printer can generate a conÞguration page that lists the following types of information:

General printer information

TekColor settings

Communication and network parameters for all ports

SCSI disk settings (if the printer has a SCSI port)

The information supplied on the conÞguration page is very helpful when you are installing and conÞguring the printer on a network.

There are two ways to print the conÞguration page:

Use the printerÕs rear-panel DIP switches. See your printerÕs user manual for instructions on printing the conÞguration page by setting DIP switches. Use this method if your printer is not yet conÞgured on the network.

Send a PostScript language Þle from your printerÕs network utilities diskettes to the printer. You will not be able to send PostScript language Þles to the printer over Ethernet until your printer is conÞgured on the network. See ÒYour printerÕs network utilities diskettesÓ on page 2-9for more information on your printerÕs network utilities diskettes.

From a Macintosh, send the Þle Print ConÞguration Page. The Þle is self-sending. Select the printer in the Chooser, then double-click the self-sending arrow icon to send the Þle to the printer.

From a PC, send the Þle PRNTCNFG.PS in the NET-UTILdirectory. Use the DOS COPY command to send the Þle to the printer.

From a UNIX workstation, send the Þle prntcnfg.ps.

Note Do not attempt to use the Print ConÞguration Page command

in the LaserWriter UtilityÕs Utilities menu to print the conÞguration page.
