Startup and configuration pages

You can print out a startup page and a conÞguration page that contain useful information about your Phaser 480X. If you disable the startup page, keep a copy near the printer for easy access to the information.

Enabling/disabling the startup page

When you receive your printer from Tektronix, the startup page is disabled. However, when you want information such as the printer name, the number of pages printed, or available ports, you can enable the startup page. The Phaser 480X CD-ROM and diskettes include utilities for PCs (STARTPG.PS and NOSTRTPG.PS) and for Macintoshes (LaserWriter Utility). For detailed instructions on enabling and disabling the startup page, refer to the

Phaser 480X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.

Even if the startup page is enabled, you can power-up or reset your printer without printing a startup page. To do this, pull out the paper tray before power-up or reset; when the READY light stops blinking, push the paper tray back into the printer. The printer will be ready for printing, but will have bypassed the startup page.
