PhaserLink Software:
the Printer’s
Information Link
PhaserLink 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 software gives you the following capabilities:
■ Receive printer status and manage your printer over the network using
a standard web browser.
■ Define a link to your local web server’s support page.
■ Access on-line manuals and technical support information by using
built-in links to the Tektronix web site.
PhaserLink software provides an easy-to-use, consistent interface that you can
use for most of the configuration tasks described throughout this guide.
Accessing printer information 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 home 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 default URL is listed here:
http:// printer’s-IP-address/
where printer’s-IP-address is the IP address you set during TCP/IP configuration.
N O T E
Some platforms and browsers allow you to set a name/IP address pair in the
UNIX host table (or equivalent name-server database on a non-UNIX host); the
printer’s name can be used in place of the IP address in the URL. For example:
http://Phaser740-Marketing/
