Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers 2

Network installation overview

The following diagram summarizes the process of installing a Tektronix printer on a network.

Step 1, unpacking and setting up your printer, must be done before attempting to conÞgure the printer on a network. Printer setup includes installing transfer rolls, loading paper trays, and turning on the printer. See your printerÕs user manual for information about printer setup. ÒEthernet connectionÓ on page 2-6provides information about physically connecting the printer to an Ethernet network.

Step 2 is done at the factory when the Ethernet interface is purchased initially with your printer.

Step 3 is also done at the factory if the TCP/IP option is purchased initially with the printer. When the Ethernet interface is purchased later as an upgrade kit, instructions for installing the internal hardware are provided in an instruction sheet supplied with the circuit board. For speciÞc instructions on Step 3, sending the authorization code to the printer, see ÒAuthorizing the TCP/IP protocolÓ on page 5-7.

Step 4 is conÞguration for any of the supported network protocols. See

Chapter 3 for EtherTalk, Chapter 4 for NetWare, and Chapter 5 for TCP/IP.
