Most PhaserLink pages allow you to view and set printer parameters through fields. HTML files containing descriptions of the fields are supplied on the printer's CD-ROM in the
PHLINK
directory, where the file
PLHOME.HTM
is the home page for the help files. These files can be viewed using any browser that supports HTML 3.0.
If you copy these PhaserLink Help files to your local web server, then define that server as your local link, PhaserLink users can access the help files from the printer's PhaserLink
Help
page.
