Locating files on the Tektronix FTP server

Utility files included on the printer’s CD-ROM let you set up the printer from UNIX and
VMS workstations to select between media trays, print quality modes, color correction
modes and other features. If you don’t have the means to transfer these files from the
CD-ROM, you can request files from the Tektronix anonymous ftp server.

If you can exchange electronic mail with other Internet sites, you can access the Tektronix
ftp server. From this server you can retrieve driver and utility files and color printer
information either with a web browser or command prompt.

From a web browser:

1.

Start your web browser application.

2.

Type this address:

ftp://ftp.tek.com/

3.

From the pull-down menus, select your printer, computer, and type of file.

4.

Select the files you need; they are downloaded to your computer.

From the command line:

1.

At the system prompt, type the following: ftp ftp.tek.com
The system responds: Name (ftp.tek.com:):

2.

Type: anonymous. Press Return.
The system responds: Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as
password.

3.

Enter your e-mail address. Press Return.

4.

Change directories to your printer-specific directory:
cd Color_Printers/UNIX/Phaser_850/utilities

5.

Download the utility files; type: mget *
The system prompts you for each file in the directory, to which you respond y (yes)
or n (no).

6.

Exit the ftp session: type quit or bye; press Return.
