PhaserLink Printer Management Software help files

Most PhaserLink pages allow you to view and set printer parameters through fields. HTML files containing descriptions of the fields are supplied on the printer’s CD-ROM in the PHLINK directory, where the file PLHOME.HTM is the home page for the help files. These files can be viewed using any browser that supports HTML 3.0.

If you copy these PhaserLink software help files to your local web server, then define that server as your local link, PhaserLink users can access the help files from the printer’s PhaserLink software Help page.
