Introduction

This guide provides information to help you quickly install the Tektronix

Phaser 840 color printer in the following environments:

■

EtherTalk, LocalTalk, and TokenTalk

■

Novell NetWare

■

UNIX

■

Windows 95 and Windows 98

■

Windows NT

For detailed networking information, including troubleshooting, see the online

manual on your printer’s CD-ROM, or see the

PhaserShare Networking Manual

PDF format on your printer’s CD-ROM.

For information on installing Tektronix printers in DOS environments, see the

printer’s CD-ROM or network utilities diskettes. They contain PostScript utility

ﬁles that can be sent to the printer for network conﬁguration in DOS

environments. They also contain a DOS application, NWSET, for printer

conﬁguration on NetWare networks.

For information on how to use the DOS conﬁguration ﬁles, see the

README

ﬁles on the printer’s CD-ROM and network utilities diskettes. PC users: the

README

ﬁle for PostScript utility ﬁles is in the

UTILS

directory; the

README

ﬁle for NWSET is in the

NETWARE

directory. (Macintosh users: the

ReadMe

ﬁle

for PostScript utility ﬁles is in the

Network Utilities

folder).

For information on installing into OS/2 environments, see the online manual on

your printer’s CD-ROM, or see the

PhaserShare Networking Manual

in PDF format

on your printer’s CD-ROM.

Introduction

PhaserShare Networking

Before you begin network conﬁguration

■

Set up your printer and connect it to the network. See your printer’s user

documentation for information about setting up the printer. For

information about connecting the printer to the network, see Chapter 2 of

this manual, “Connecting Your Printer to a Network”.

■

Install the Tektronix driver for your printer on every Macintosh and PC

that will send print jobs to the printer. For details on driver

installation, see your printer’s user documentation.

■

For NetWare environments.

To speed the setup process and avoid

conﬂicts, familiarize yourself with the components of your network.

You should know which version(s) of NetWare are installed, which

versions of client software are used, and the network topology (frame

types, routers, hubs, and cabling).

Printing a Conﬁguration Page

Your printer’s Conﬁguration Page supplies useful information for installing and

conﬁguring the printer on a network.

Setup Guide

Printer management

After your printer is up and running on the network, you can take advantage of

the following features that aid you in managing your printer over the network:

■

Job accounting.

The printer stores a log ﬁle containing information

about jobs printed. The ﬁle is a list of job accounting records. Each

record contains ﬁelds such as user name, job name, pages printed, job

times, and toner used. Job accounting is available through the

PhaserShare Administrator and PhaserLink Printer Management

software.

■

PhaserLink Status Notiﬁcation.

PhaserLink Printer Management

Software provides PhaserLink Status Notiﬁcation, which allows the

printer to automatically send email to the system administrator and

others when the printer requires attention (for example, when printer

errors, warnings, and alerts occur, or when service is required).

■

Usage Proﬁle reports.

The printer can generate reports detailing

printer usage. These

Usage Proﬁle reports

include information on many

aspects of printer usage, including ink or toner used, number of pages

printed, and media types used. You can print these reports from the

front panel or PhaserLink Printer Management software, or you can

obtain them automatically via email.

■

PhaserLink PDF Direct Printing.

This feature provides

drag-and-drop printing of PDF and PostScript ﬁles from your web

browser in Windows 95 and Windows 98 environments. Just drag any

hotlink for a PDF or PostScript ﬁle from the browser to the PhaserLink

PDF Direct Printing icon on the desktop to print the ﬁle on your

Tektronix printer. There is no need to access the URL or open the ﬁle.

■

Intelligent Ready.

With Intelligent Ready, the printer can monitor

usage and automatically warm up when you are most likely to need it.

You can turn Intelligent Ready on or off from the printer’s front panel.

Using PhaserLink Printer Management Software, you can control

when the printer automatically warms up.

For more information on these features, see the

PhaserShare Networking Manual

on the printer’s CD-ROM.
