Recognizing PhaserShare Series B interfaces and earlier PhaserShare cards
On your network, you may have some Tektronix printers equipped with
PhaserShare Series B interfaces and other Tektronix printers equipped with earlier
PhaserShare cards. Printers equipped with earlier PhaserShare cards are supported
differently in printer management software such as the PhaserShare Administrator
and PhaserLink Printer Management Software. There are several ways to determine
if the printer is equipped with a PhaserShare Series B interface or an earlier
PhaserShare card:
Printer model. PhaserShare Series B cards work with Phaser 840, 740, 780,
and 360 printers. PhaserShare cards work with the following printers:
Phaser 380, 350, 340, 560, 550, 540, and 600.
Card rear panel. The cards are labeled on the rear panel.
The printer's Configuration Page. For Series B interfaces, Series B
appears following the Network Information area on the printer's
Configuration Page. If an earlier PhaserShare card is installed, the printer's
Configuration Page reports the type of card installed in the PhaserShare
field.
The printer's Startup Page. For Series B interfaces, Series B appears in the
Ethernet , Token Ring , or LocalTalk fields on the printer's Startup Page. If
a PhaserShare card is installed, the printer's Startup Page reports the
available connections in the Ports field.
PhaserLink Printer Management Software. If the Adobe PostScript field
reads Adobe PostScript Level 3 Version , the interface is Series B. If the
field reads Adobe PostScript Level 2 Version , the printer supports
PhaserShare network cards (not Series B). The Adobe PostScript field is on
the View Printer Information page or on the View and Configure General
Settings page, depending on the printer type. Links to these pages can be
accessed by clicking the Configuration link. For more information on
PhaserLink Printer Management Software, see Chapter 12, "PhaserLink
Printer Management Software".
PhaserShare Administrator. In the PhaserShare Administrator, Series B
interfaces are identified in the Ethernet or Token Ring tabs, where Series B
is displayed in the Interface Information area. For more information on
the PhaserShare Administrator, see Chapter 5, "PhaserShare Administrator
Software for NetWare Networks".
