Enabling TCP/IP with the authorization code

8-64 Phaser 340 Color Printer
TCP/IP protocol support is standard in printers serial-numbered BCxxxxx and
up. TCP/IP protocol is optionally supported via a downloaded software key in
earlier printers.
When the Phaser Share Ethernet card is installed, the EtherTalk and Novell
protocols are immediately active. For printer's serial numbered BBxxxxx and
earlier, the Ethernet card's TCP/IP protocol must be activated by a
downloadable authorization code, sometimes referred to as its software key.
The authorization code is printed on a certificate included with the printer (if the
option was factory-installed) or with the field upgrade kit. The Phaser Share User
Manual explains how to activate the authorization code and download it to the
printer. Downloading the code depends on the available computers and cables
as explained in the Phaser Share Network User Manual.
Each Ethernet card requires a unique authorization code to activate its TCP/IP
protocol. The authorization code is based on the printer's ID (Ethernet address)
and is generated by a special computer program. The computer program is held
by the staff of the Customer Support. A staff member of the Customer Support
Hotline can generate an authorization code for an Ethernet-capable printer
anytime once purchase of the TCP/IP option has been confirmed, even long
after the Ethernet card was installed.
