Setting printer parameters: PhaserLink software pages

If there are read-write parameters on the page, there is a ﬁeld at the bottom of the page for a validation password. By default, the password is a NULL string (no characters). The password is common across all PhaserLink software pages.

N O T E

PhaserLink passwords are not encrypted.

■If you enter an invalid password, the printer reports an error. The Validation Password link displays the Set Administrator Password page, which you can use to change the password.

■Click Restore Initial Form Values to restore all values on the page to their previous settings.

■To transmit changes to the printer, click Do/Apply.

Information Forwarding

When you click a link that connects you to the Tektronix web server, the Information Forwarding feature causes the printer to send the following printer status information back to the Tektronix server:

■Printer model

■Firmware version

■Printer ID number

■Page count

■Language

■Serial Number

Transmitting this information back to the Tektronix server ensures the quickest connection to relevant product and update information. Tektronix may store this information to serve you better in the future.
