Section 1. Tektronix Phaser 350 Color

Printer Configuration

1-1. Overview

The Tektronix Phaser 350 color printer (hereafter known as a Phaser 350) can be

used to print screencopies and text ﬁles (such as reports, reviews, and UNIX ﬁles).

The Phaser 350 printer can be connected to a system network through an Ethernet,

or directly to a WEStation through the WEStation’s parallel port.

The following sections describe the installation and conﬁguration needed to

successfully operate a Phaser 350 printer either on a network (as described in

Section 1-2) or through a parallel port connection (as described in Section 1-3).

1-2. Using an Ethernet Connection

This section describes how to connect and conﬁgure a network Phaser 350 printer.

1-2.1. Connecting the Printer

Use the following procedure to connect the Phaser 350 printer to a network.

Conﬁrm Ethernet Hardware

1. Optional Ethernet internal hardware (a PhaserShare card) must be installed

in the Phaser 350 printer before it can be used on an Ethernet. If a PhaserShare

card is installed in the printer, the interface shown in Figure 1-1 will be visible

on the back of your printer.

2. If there is no PhaserShare card installed, and you want to use an Ethernet

connection, contact your Westinghouse representative. Purchase the Ethernet

hardware and install it in the Phaser 350 printer. After the required hardware is

installed, proceed to Step 3.

3. Make sure you use an appropriate Ethernet cable (based on the Ethernet card

used in your printer as shown in Figure 1-1) to connect the printer to the

network.

4. Conﬁrm that the two dip switches (Switch 1 - Service; and Switch 2 - Reset)in

the back of the printer are in the Up position.

Leave the Service switch in the Up position.

The Reset switch can be used to reset the printer. To reset the printer, put switch

2 in the Off (down) position and then turn it back to the On (up) position.

11. Press the Menu button and the front panel will display the following message:

000.000.000.000

Increment Shift Select

Note

The IP address displayed on your printer may

be a different address. Do not set the IP

address to 000.000.000.000 since this will

cause the printer to use Dynamic Address

Resolution to set its IP address (refer to the

Tektronix System Administrator manual for

details).

12. Press the Increment button to set the left-most digit of the address.

13. Press the Shift button to advance to the next digit. Press the Increment button

to set this digit.

14. Use the Shift and Increment button to set the remaining digits of the IP address.

15. When the IP address is correctly set, press the Select button to enter your

settings into the printer. The front panel displays the following message:

Confirm Selection

Confirm

16. Press the Conﬁrm button to conﬁrm your selection.

•If the selection is a valid number, the front panel brieﬂy displays Selected,

and then returns to the address display. Press the Exit button to return to the

display of the parameter name, then press the right (=>) arrow button to

display the name of the next addressing parameter.

•If the selection is not a valid number, the front panel brieﬂy displays Error,

and then returns to the address display. Repeat Steps 12 through 15 to set the

address correctly.

Note

If you do not want to conﬁrm your selection,

press the Exit button to return to the address

display and try again.

17. Enter the following in a shelltool to conﬁrm that you can “ping” the printer type:

ping teksc (printer name is identiﬁed in /etc/hosts ﬁle)

1-2.2. Conﬁgure Printer (8.5 Level Systems and Later)

This section provides instructions for conﬁguring the printer so that WEStation

software can print to it.

1. Use the WDPF or Ovation Admin Tool to define the desired printers for the

Printer Manager. If necessary, refer to the “Using the Deﬁne Software

Conﬁguration Function” section of the U0-8300 or R3-1105 manual.

A. Access the WDPF Admin Tool.

B. Select the Define Software Configuration from the Function menu.

Select the Log Server ﬁlter from the Filter scrolling list.

Select LS Printer Manager Printers from the Topic scrolling list.

C. The LS Printer Manager Printers pop-up window will appear (as shown

below). Deﬁne a screencopy printer by selecting the drop number (from

the “Conﬁguration for Drop Numbers” selections) of the Printer Manager

that will be conﬁgured.

D. Select Create.

E. Enter teksc (screencopy printer name) in the Printer entry ﬁeld and select

the Apply button.

F. Select Printer Connection from the Display menu.

G. Select the Tektronix 240 (Screencopy) printer from the Printer Model

menu (the Tektronix 240 choice will select the Tektronix 350 printer).

H. Select the Apply button.

I. To deﬁne a text printer (that will actually be the same physical printer as

teksc), repeat Steps C through H, but enter tektext in the Printer entry ﬁeld,

and select Tektronix 240 (Text) printer from the Printer Model menu

(the Tektronix 240 choice will select the Tektronix 350 printer).

2. Use the WDPF or Ovation Admin Tool to create and install the ﬁles needed by

the WDPF Printer Manager. If necessary, refer to the “Using the Install

ConﬁgurationonSoftwareServerFunction”section ofthe U0-8300 or R3-1105

manual.

A. Select Install Configuration on Software Server from the Function menu.

Select Log Server from the Filter scrolling list.

Select LS Log Server Configuration from the Topic scrolling list.

B. If veriﬁcation of conﬁguration is desired before installation, select the

Properties button and use its functions (as described in the “Using

the Properties Window” section of the U0-8300 or R3-1105 manual).

3. Use the WDPF or Ovation Admin Tool to download the required ﬁles to the

Printer Manager target drop. If necessary, refer to the “Using the Download

Conﬁguration to Drops Function” section of the U0-8300 or R3-1105 manual.

A. Select the Download Configuration to Drops from the Function menu.

Select the Log Server ﬁlter from the Filter scrolling list.

Manager drops and all drops that use Printer Manager facilities; or simply

select all drops to ensure that the correct drops are selected).

B. Select the Download button. Typically, a Download Preview window will

appear (unless No was selected in the Properties window) indicating

the ﬁles that are ready to be downloaded to the target drop (any drop

which sends ﬁles to the LS for printing, such as MMI, LS, HSR, and EWS).

C. If the selections are correct, select the Download selected files button.

D. Select the Restart Applications on Drops button (with drops selected that

were downloaded in Step A)

1-2.3. Add Printer to Printer Manager Drop

1. Decide which drop will be the “printer host.” This will typically be the drop

containing the Printer Manager Package.

2. The /etc/hosts ﬁle on the target drop that will function as the Printer Manager

must be edited to assign the network number and the printer’s logical name(s).

Note

User must be superuser on the Printer

Manager drop to edit /etc/hosts ﬁle.

Use an ASCII text editor to edit the ﬁle (see example below):

A. Assign the unique network number (IP address) for the printer

(as determined in Step 7 in Section 1-2.1).

B. Assign teksc (screencopies) and tektext (text ﬁles) as the logical names.

Note

“teksc” and “tektext” are the recommended

logical printer names. However, any names

may be assigned.

This enables two virtual (logical) printers to be mapped to the same physical

printer. The Printer Manager will use the virtual (logical) printer names in

the ls/config/defaults ﬁle.

Example of /etc/hosts File

# Internet host table

127.0.0.1 localhost loghost

192.9.200.160 drop160

192.9.200.001 teksc tektext

Note

Verify that the software package “Log Server

Printer Manager” has been installed on the

target drop. If necessary, refer to the U0-8300

or R3-1105 manual. for information on using

the Init Tool to identify what software packages

are installed on a drop.
