Software
PhaserLink Printer Management software is a printer administration and support tool
using World Wide Web technology. With PhaserLink software, you can access printer
status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP network using a web browser.
PhaserLink Printer Management software gives you the following capabilities:
Receive printer status and manage printers, independent of network servers and
operating systems.
Define a link to your local web server's support page.
Access online manuals and technical support information by using built-in links to
the Tektronix web site.
PhaserLink Printer Management software provides an easy-to-use, consistent interface that
you can use for most of the configuration tasks described throughout this guide.
PhaserLink Printer Management Software requires only a World Wide Web browser and a
TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network. (TCP/IP and HTTP must be
enabled in the printer.)
For complete information on using PhaserLink Printer Management Software, see the
PhaserLink Online Help.

Accessing the printer from a browser

Once a TCP/IP connection to the printer has been established and the printer's IP address
is set, you can visit the printer's Status page from your web browser by entering the
printer's URL (Uniform Resource Locator), just as you would to visit any web site. The
printer's URL is:
http://printer's-IP-address/
where printer's-IP-address is the IP address or DNS name you set during TCP/IP
configuration.
Example using IP addess: http://192.1.1.1/
Example using DNS name: http://Tektronix_Marketing/
