2.Choose a Select by option to limit the number of printers in the list, or choose a Sort by option to present all the printers in a particular order. Choose only one select or sort option. To select or sort the printers in the list, follow the procedures given here:

■To select the printers in the list. In the Select by area, click the button for the selection option that you want to use. The selection option determines which printers appear on the list in the Main window.

The field at the bottom of the Select by area allows you to enter specific information after you have chosen a selection option. This field functions either as a fill-in field or a pull-down menu, depending on what selection option you have chosen. For example, if you choose Printer Name, type a printer name in the field. If you choose File Server, the field becomes a pull-down menu displaying the file servers your workstation is attached to. Select a file server from the pull-down menu.

When typing the printer name or printer model, you may end any entry with a “wild card.” Wild cards are an asterisk (*) to specify any group of characters and a question mark (?) to specify any single character.

■To sort the printers in the list. In the Sort by area, click the button for the sort option you want to use. The sort option determines the order in which the printers are displayed on the list in the Main window.

3.If you want your chosen selection or sort option to apply each time you run the PhaserShare Administrator, check the Use setting at startup checkbox. If you leave the box unchecked, the next time the Administrator is started, the settings are All Tektronix Printers and Print Server Name. When the Administrator is first installed, the setting for Select by is Printer Name*.

4.To rearrange the list, click OK. To return to the Main window without rearranging the list, click Cancel.

When you select a Sort by option, the Select by option changes to All Tektronix Printers. When you choose a Select by option, the Sort by option changes to Print Server Name.

Information Not Available in the Printer List

When using the Sort by options, some selections in the Search Options dialog box display the message Information Not Available in the printer list in the Main window. This indicates that the printer is not equipped with a PhaserShare card or is not using the PhaserShare Series B interface. The PhaserShare Administrator cannot configure these printers; use the Advanced Configuration Tool supplied with your printer’s network utilities software.
