Software Overview
PhaserLink Printing Software allows you to print to one or more remote Tektronix
Phaser color printers (such as a Phaser 360 color printer) over the Internet, directly
from Windows applications. The print jobs are sent as email (electronic mail).
PhaserLink Printing Software provides the following key features:
The ability to send print jobs to a group of printers
Print services across firewalls and proxies
Status reporting using email messages
This chapter provides an overview of how PhaserLink Printing Software works.
Chapter 2 tells you how to install and set up the PhaserLink Printing client software
and your printers, while Chapter 3 discusses the basics of creating groups of
Internet-connected printers, using the client software. Chapter 4 explains how to
send print jobs using PhaserLink Printing Software; Chapter 5 covers more
advanced topics. Chapter 6 tells you how to find help if you need it.
PhaserLink Printing Software consists of two parts:
Client software installed on each user's workstation or personal
computer. This software allows users to send print jobs from Windows
applications to remote Tektronix printers over the Internet.
The client software lets users set up their Internet-connected printers, and
create groups and subgroups of printers for easy distribution of print jobs.
The client software includes the following components:
Destination Manager, which enables you to create groups of
Internet-connected printers.
Print Redirector, which routes a print job to the appropriate
Internet-connected printer or group of printers.
PhaserLink Printing Server on a Phaser color printer. Part of the printer
software, this server processes print jobs from the clients.
For this software release, PhaserLink Printing software is available only for
Windows 95.
