Accessing the printer's web page

PC-based diagnostics

For printers serial-numbered BCxxxxx and up. PhaserLink, the Tektronix
implementation of a World Wide Web server inside the printer, allows a
customer to communicate to the printer using a web browser. With PhaserLink,
a customer can view and set printer and networking parameters. A homepage
built into the printer links the printer to other homepages such as the Tektronix
World Wide Web home page.
To view the printer's homepage, the printer must be connected to a network
supporting TCP/IP protocols. Refer to the PhaserShare Network Cards and
Software User Manual .
The PC-based diagnostics allows you to interactively test and check the
operations and functionality of the printer. The diagnostics are provided on a
3-1/2 inch floppy diskette. All of the diagnostic tests are started from the PC.
Some of the tests are stored on-board the main board in ROM and are merely
started by the PC-based diagnostics; other tests are downloaded to the printer
from the PC. The test are functionally divided into two classes: 29K tests, which
execute test stored in the 29K processor's ROM and the 68K tests which are
downloaded to the printer to test the 68K processor and the print engine.
The PC diagnostics were developed to run on a PC. The following procedure
discusses using the diagnostics with an Apple® PowerBook® running PC
emulation software as this is the portable computer in use by the field service
organization.
Note
Printers serial-numbered B0xxxxx to BB xxxxx use diagnostics
version 1.xx. Printers serial-numbered BCxxxxx and up use
diagnostics version 2.xx. Both diagnostics are available on the same
diskette.
