Using Printer Utilities 7

Downloading files from the Tektronix ftp server

Utility files included on the printer’s CD-ROM let you set up the printer from UNIX and VMS workstations to select between media trays, print quality modes, color correction modes and other features. If you don’t have the means to transfer these files from the CD-ROM, you can request files from the Tektronix anonymous ftp server.

If you can exchange electronic mail with other Internet sites, you can access the Tektronix ftp server. From this server you can retrieve driver and utility files and color printer information.

Log onto the Tektronix ftp server and download utility files:

1.At the system prompt, type the following: ftp ftp.tek.com

The system responds:

Name (ftp.tek.com:<login name>) :

2.Type: anonymous

Press Return.

The system responds:

Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.

3.Enter your e-mail address. Press Return.

4.Change directories to your printer-specific directory: cd Color_Printers/UNIX/Phaser_740/utilities

5.Download the utility files; type:

mget *

The system prompts you for each file in the directory, to which you respond y (yes) or n (no).

6.Exit the ftp session: type quit or bye; press Return.
