Setting Syslog priorities using a PostScript utility file

To create a PostScript file to set Syslog priorities, use the script config-syslogprovided on the printer’s CD-ROM.

1.Connect the printer to the network.

2.Run the script config-syslog:

a.Change (cd) to the bin subdirectory in the directory where you placed your printer’s network utilities.

b.Run the script, redirecting the output to a file. Type:

config-syslog > filename

3.When prompted, enter the log host’s IP address and the priority level of the threshold you want to set.

The script accepts IP addresses that have empty fields (for example, 123..40.10). The script does not detect this error. Double-check the IP addresses you enter.

4.Send the file named in Step 2b to the printer using lp or lpr.
