the page for a validation password. By default, the password is a NULL string
(no characters). The password is common across all PhaserLink software pages.

■ If you enter an invalid password, the printer reports an error. The
Validation Password
link displays the Set Administrator Password
page, which you can use to change the password.
■ Click Restore Initial Form Values to restore all values on the page to
their previous settings.
■ To transmit changes to the printer, click Do/Apply.
Information Forwarding
When you click a link that connects you to the Tektronix web server, the
Information Forwarding feature causes the printer to send the following printer
status information back to the Tektronix server:
■ Printer model
■ Firmware version
■ Printer ID number
■ Page count
■ Language
■ Serial Number
Transmitting this information back to the Tektronix server ensures the quickest
connection to relevant product and update information. Tektronix may store
this information to serve you better in the future.
