Using A Startup Network Configuration File; Before You Begin; Specifying The Location Of The Configuration File - Xerox ColorQube 8580 System Administrator Manual

Using a Startup Network Configuration File

You can create a startup network configuration file to configure settings, load fonts, color tables, and job
patches. When the printer is turned on or reset, it retrieves and processes the configuration file from a
TFTP server.

Before You Begin

• The configuration file must be a valid PostScript or PCL file with appropriate PostScript, PCL. or PJL
commands. For a list of PCL and PJL commands, see
• The configuration file must be 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 in a DHCP/BOOTP environment:
• For the TFTP server IP address or host name, use DHCP option 66.
• For the path name of the configuration file, use DHCP option 67.
Notes:
• For instructions on how to set parameters, refer to DHCP or BOOTP server documentation.
• If other devices on your network use TFTP, Xerox recommends that you disable TFTP on the
printer. To disable TFTP, in CentreWare Internet Services click Properties > Protocols > TFTP,
then for TFTP, select Off.
To specify the location of the configuration file in a non-DHCP environment:
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Protocols.
2. Click TFTP.
For TFTP, select On.
3.
4. For TFTP Server Name, type the IP address or hostname for the TFTP server.
5. For Boot File Name, type the path name of the configuration file.
6. Click Save Changes.
