About the Configuration File

To configure printer settings or to perform other tasks, such as loading fonts, color tables, and job patches, you can create a startup network configuration file. Every time the printer is turned on or reset, the TFTP service on the TFTP server downloads the configuration file once an IP address is acquired and confirmed in the printer. The TFTP service processes the data in the configuration file as if it were a standard print job.

Configuration File Requirements

The configuration file must be:

A valid PostScript or PCL file that contains the appropriate PostScript, PCL, or PJL commands. For a list of the Xerox-unique PCL and PJL commands, see Printer Commands on page B-1.

Stored on a TFTP server that the printer can access over the TCP/IP network.

Specifying the Location of the Configuration File

To specify the location of the configuration file, do one of the following:

If the printer is connected to a TCP/IP network in a DHCP/BOOTP environment.

Use DHCP option 66 to specify the TFTP server IP address or hostname.

Use DHCP option 67 to specify the pathname of the configuration file.

For information on how to set these parameters, refer to your DHCP or BOOTP server documentation.

If the printer is connected to a TCP/IP network in a non-DHCP environment, use CentreWare Internet Services (IS).

Using CentreWare IS

1.Click the Properties tab and expand the Protocols menu.

2.Select TCP/IP.

3.Under TFTP Settings, set the following:

Enter the TFTP server IP address or hostname in the TFTP Server Name field.

Enter the pathname of the configuration file in the Boot File Name field.

4.Click the Save Changes button.

For more information, see the CentreWare IS Online Help.

Xerox 4510 manual Using a Startup Network Configuration File, About the Configuration File, Configuration File Requirements

1235DT, 1235/DX, 4510 specifications

The Xerox 4510 and 4250 are robust monochrome laser printers designed to cater to the needs of modern office environments. Known for their reliability and impressive output quality, these models excel in providing high-performance solutions for businesses seeking efficiency and productivity.

The Xerox 4510 is renowned for its ability to deliver exceptional print speeds of up to 65 pages per minute (ppm). This allows organizations to meet high-volume printing demands without compromising on quality. Its maximum monthly duty cycle of up to 300,000 pages makes it suitable for busy workplaces, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and ensuring uninterrupted operations. In contrast, the Xerox 4250 offers a slightly lower printing speed of 50 ppm, making it an ideal option for small to medium-sized businesses that require consistent performance without excessive output.

Both printers are equipped with advanced print resolution capabilities, delivering sharp text and detailed graphics at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. This ensures that every document produced meets professional standards, making them perfect for presentations, reports, and correspondence. The user-friendly interface allows for seamless navigation and operation, further enhancing productivity in the workplace.

A significant feature of these models is their support for versatile media types and sizes. They can handle a variety of paper weights and dimensions, accommodating everything from standard letter-sized paper to envelopes and labels. This flexibility makes them suitable for diverse printing tasks and varied business needs.

In terms of technology, both printers utilize Xerox's state-of-the-art imaging technology, which contributes to their high-quality output and reliability. The inclusion of automatic duplex printing is another standout feature, allowing users to print on both sides of the paper, thus reducing paper consumption and environmental impact.

Connectivity is another strong point for the Xerox 4510 and 4250. They are equipped with various connectivity options, including USB, Ethernet, and wireless capabilities. This ensures easy integration into existing office networks, allowing multiple users to access the printer simultaneously.

In summary, the Xerox 4510 and 4250 printers embody exceptional performance, quality, and versatility, making them valuable assets for any office environment. Their advanced technologies, high-speed capabilities, and user-friendly features position them as trusted solutions for businesses aiming to enhance their printing efficiency while maintaining high standards of output.
