Network Printing with Tektronix Color

Printers

This guide provides information to help you quickly install your printer in the following

environments:

■

Windows 95 and Windows 98

■

Windows NT

■

Novell NetWare

■

EtherTalk or TokenTalk

For information on installing the printer in UNIX environments, see the PhaserShare

Networking Manual.

The PostScript utility files on the printer’s CD-ROM can be sent to the printer for network

configuration in DOS environments. The printer’s CD-ROM also contains 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. 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 PhaserShare Networking

Manual.

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

Connecting Your Printer to a Network

page 3.

■

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).

The printer’s Configuration Page

The information supplied on the Configuration Page is helpful when you are installing

and configuring the printer on a network. There are two ways to print the Configuration

Page:

■

Use the printer’s front panel.

Use this method if your printer is not yet configured on

the network. Refer to

Printing a Configuration Page from the Phaser 850 front panel

on page 2.

■

Use PhaserLink Printer Management Software.

With a TCP/IP connection and a

World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink Printer Management Software; see

Printing a Configuration Page: PhaserLink Printer Management Software

on page 2.

Printing a Configuration Page from the Phaser 850 front panel

When the front panel displays

READY TO PRINT,

press the up-arrow button until

is highlighted. Press

Select.

Press the down-arrow button until

Printer Configuration

is highlighted. Press

Select.

Press the down-arrow button until

Print Configuration Page

is highlighted. Press

Select.

To return the printer to normal operation, press the down-arrow button until

Exit

highlighted. Press

Select.

Printing a Configuration Page: PhaserLink Printer Management

Software

Connect to the printer via PhaserLink (see

Accessing the printer from a browser

page 33).

On the left side of any PhaserLink page, click

Settings.

In the

REPORTS

group, click

Print Configuration Page.

The printer’s networking software

The printer’s software CD-ROM contains software for installing your printer on a network.

The CD-ROM also contains online documentation, printer drivers, and other printer

software. A single integrated installer is used to install printer drivers and other software.

For information on running the installer, see

Using the Tektronix Installer

on page 5.

Networking Setup Guide 3

Connecting Your Printer to a Network

Direct Ethernet Connection to Macintosh or PC

Requirements

■

Two RJ-45, twisted-pair, 10Base-T cables

■

An Ethernet-port hub

Procedure

Turn off your computer and the printer.

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer. Connect

the other end to the hub.

Connect the other cable to the hub and the Ethernet port on the printer.

Turn on your computer and printer.

After the computer and printer are connected, refer to the configuration instructions for

your network type.

Note

The printer is not a SCSI device. Do not connect the printer to your

computer through the SCSI ports.

3094-73

Phaser 850 Color Printer

Connecting Your Printer to a Network

The printer’s Ethernet interface

■

Conforms to IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II standards.

■

Twisted pair (10BaseT or 100BaseTx) connection.

■

Thick coax (10Base5) and thin coax (10Base2) connections require adapters; contact

your dealer to obtain adapters, cables, and terminators.

Caution

To avoid damaging the Ethernet interface, turn off the printer before making any

Ethernet connections.

Ethernet connections and indicators

RCV indicator (green); blinks while the interface is receiving.

XMT indicator (yellow); blinks while the interface is transmitting.

3. Twisted pair (10BaseT) connector.

Ethernet cables

100BaseTx requires Category 5 (100-Ohm UTP) cabling.

To fully comply with EMI (electro-magnetic interference) specifications, the use of

shielded or screened cables may be required. “Shielded” describes IBM-defined cables

used with the DB-9 connector. “Screened” describes cables that are electrically similar to

Category 4 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), but with an added shield or screen.

Do not use “silver satin” telephone extension cables for 10BaseT networks, either as drop

cords or as patch cables in the wiring closet. (Silver satin cables are flat, usually silver or

gray, with 28-gauge stranded or tinsel conductors.) Do not use shielded twisted pair cable

intended for IBM Token Ring networks or voice-grade (level 1 or 2) unshielded twisted

pair cables. These cables do not meet the requirements for 10BaseT and will lead to

unreliable operation.

Token Ring connection

The printer can be connected to a Token Ring network using an optional Tektronix

PhaserShare Token Ring Card. For information on installing the printer on Token Ring

networks, see the PhaserShare Networking Manual.

Networking Setup Guide 5

Using the Tektronix Installer

Tektronix Installer for Windows

The Tektronix installer for Windows is on your printer’s software CD-ROM. A single

integrated installer is used to install printer drivers and other software.

The Tektronix installer automatically performs printer installation tasks and creates a

printer. In most cases, you are required only to make a few installation choices, clicking

Next to move from screen to screen.

Each installer screen provides text that describes the choices for that screen. If you are

unsure about which choice to make, click the name of the item to highlight it, then read

the explanation in the Description field. To make your choices, check the boxes for the

desired items and click Next to continue.

Running the installer from the printer’s CD-ROM

1. Insert the printer’s software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

■If the Windows autorun feature is enabled, the CD-ROM launches automatically.

■If the Windows autorun feature is disabled, double-click My Computer, then

double click the CD icon to launch the CD-ROM.

2. Click Install Printer Driver.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Running the installer from the printer’s hard disk

You can run the installer from the printer’s optional hard disk, if one is installed. This

method requires that you already have a TCP/IP connection to the printer.

1. Connect to your printer via PhaserLink (see Accessing the printer from a browser on

page 33).

2. Scroll to the bottom of the PhaserLink Status page. In the LINKS group, click Install

Drivers.
