Specifying the Location of the Configuration File

About the Configuration File
To configure printer settings or to perform other tasks, such as loading fonts, color tables, and
job patches, you can create a startup network configuration file. Every time the printer is
turned on or reset, the TFTP service on the TFTP server downloads the configuration file once
an IP address is acquired and confirmed in the printer. The TFTP service processes the data in
the configuration file as if it were a standard print job.
Configuration File Requirements
The configuration file must be:
A valid PostScript or PCL file that contains the appropriate PostScript, PCL, or PJL
■
commands. For a list of the Xerox-unique PCL and PJL commands, see
Commands on page B-1.
■ Stored on a TFTP server that the printer can access over the TCP/IP network.
Specifying the Location of the Configuration File
To specify the location of the configuration file, do one of the following:
■ If the printer is connected to a TCP/IP network in a DHCP/BOOTP environment, use the
DHCP/BOOTP environment.
■ Use DHCP option 66 to specify the TFTP server IP address or hostname.
■ Use DHCP option 67 to specify the pathname of the configuration file.
For information on how to set these parameters, refer to your DHCP or BOOTP server
documentation.
■ If the printer is connected to a TCP/IP network in a non-DHCP environment, use
CentreWare Internet Services (IS). On the TCP/IP Settings page, under TFTP Settings,
do the following:
■ Enter the TFTP server IP address or hostname in the TFTP Server Name field.
■ Enter the pathname of the configuration file in the Boot File Name field.
For more information, see the CentreWare IS Online Help.
