Accessing printer information from a browser

Before you can view your printer’s information pages, you must connect the printer to the network using a TCP/IP connection and set the printer’s IP address.

Once the TCP/IP connection has been established and the printer’s IP address is set, you can visit the printer’s home page from your web browser by entering the printer’s URL (Uniform Resource Locator), just as you would to visit any web site. The printer’s default URL is listed here:

http://printer’s-IP-address/

where printer’s-IP-addressis the IP address you set for the printer during TCP/IP configuration.

N O T E

Some platforms and browsers allow you to set a name/IP address pair in the UNIX host table (or equivalent network name-server database on a non-UNIX host); the printer’s name can be used in place of the IP address in the URL. For example:

http://Phaser360-Marketing/

Printer information pages

Your printer’s Current Status page is your starting place for viewing your printer’s information. From the Current Status page, you can access other pages internal to the printer, and you can link to a number of external web sites as well.

PhaserLink Printer Management Software pages have three components:

■Header. The header is at the top of the page. It is the same for all printer pages. The header shows the Tektronix logo, a picture of the printer, and the printer’s model number.

■Main section. The top of the main section reports the page name and the printer name. The rest of the middle section is different for each printer.

■Navigation links. Five navigation links take you to other printer pages. The following table describes the links and the pages they lead to.

840, 780, 360 specifications

Xerox has long been a pioneer in the field of printing and copying technology, and its 360, 780, and 840 models exemplify the groundbreaking advancements made by the company in the late 20th century. These machines are significant not just for their capabilities but also for how they transformed workplaces into efficient hubs for document management.

The Xerox 360, introduced in the 1970s, was notable for its innovative use of electrostatic transfer technology. This method allowed for the rapid and high-quality reproduction of documents, setting a new standard for both speed and clarity. With a printing speed of up to 120 copies per minute, the 360 was designed for high-volume environments, making it ideal for businesses that required efficient document distribution. Its ability to handle different media types, including transparencies, further expanded its utility.

Moving on to the Xerox 780, released shortly after the 360, this model built upon its predecessor's success by introducing additional features that catered to the evolving needs of users. One of the key advancements in the 780 was its ability to incorporate advanced finishing options, such as stapling and hole-punching, directly from the machine. This integration streamlined document production processes, reducing the need for manual tasks and enhancing workflow efficiency. The Xerox 780’s intelligent control panel also provided users with easy navigation and troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

The Xerox 840 took another leap forward, focusing on integrating digital technology into the printing process. Introduced in the early 1980s, this model featured enhanced digital image processing capabilities, resulting in superior image quality and consistency. The 840 also supported duplex printing, allowing for automatic double-sided copies, which not only saved paper but also demonstrated a commitment to sustainability practices as environmental concerns began to rise. The combination of these features made the 840 particularly well-suited for corporate environments where document quality and efficiency were paramount.

Overall, the Xerox 360, 780, and 840 series were landmark achievements in photocopying technology. Their advanced features, such as high-speed output, diverse media handling, and enhanced finishing options, established Xerox as a leader in the industry. These machines not only improved productivity but also set a precedent for future innovations, influencing the trajectory of printing technology for years to come. As businesses continue to evolve, the foundational technologies pioneered by these models remain integral to modern document management solutions.
