Enabling TCP/IP with the authorization code

Bypass mode

Cool down mode

8 Phaser 340 and 350 Color Printers
TCP/IP protocol support is standard in Phaser 340 printers serial-numbered
BCxx xxx and up and Phaser 350 printers. This feature depends upon the version
of firmware on the PhaserShare card being 2.0 or higher. 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 B1xxxxx
through B9xxxxx, 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 and Phaser Share Network User Manual explain how to activate the
authorization code and download it to the printer . Downloading the code is a
two-step process: It consists of editng a file called "authorize.ps" that contains
the authorization code and then downloading the file to the printer using a file
downloading utility such as Font Downloader or LaserWriter Utility.
Bypass mode allows you to access the front panel menus (bypassing the engine
and PostScript initializing processes) without having to wait for the printhead to
warm up. This way, you can reset NVRAM or read fault codes immediately.
Meanwhile, the printer continues to warm-up and initialize "in the
background." Even if the engine faults, bypass mode can be active.
1. Press and hold front panel buttons 1 and 2 (left two buttons). Turn on
the printer.
2.
Wait for the message Entering Bypass Mode to be displayed
(about 40 seconds).
3.
Release buttons 1 and 2. For the Phaser 350, do not press buttons 1
and 2 until the first "Warming Up" message is displayed, then quickly
press the buttons and hold for a few seconds until "Entering Bypass
Mode" is displayed.
Phaser 340 printers serial-numbered BCxxxxx and up and Phaser 350 printers
have a menu item that accelerates the cooling of the printhead.
1. Enter the extended menu by pressing Menu and Exit .
2. Scroll to the Service Suppor t menu item and press Menu.
3. Scroll to the item Cool-down for Power Off and press OK .
The printer turn off all the engine heaters and runs the fans on high until the ink
in the printhead has solidified. Then the printer's front panel informs you the
printer can be turned off.
