• You can receive live printer status and manage your printer on nearly any network using a standard web browser.

• You can define a link to your local web server's support page.

• You can access on-line manuals and technical support information by using built-in links to the Tektronix web site.

PhaserLink software requires only a World Wide Web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network. (TCP/IP must be enabled in the printer.)

Supported browsers

• Netscape Navigator V1.1 or later (recommended)

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0

The full-functionality of PhaserLink software requires a graphical, HTML-compliant browser with extensions to support "client-pull" web page refresh and tables. Non-graphical browsers are fully functional, but web page formatting may be compromised. Live status requires a browser that supports "client-pull" web page refresh. The following table summarizes the supported browsers and their capabilities:

Browser	HTML support
Lynx	HTML 2.0
Netscape Navigator 1.1	HTML 2.0, refresh, tables
Netscape Navigator 2.0	HTML 2.0, refresh, tables
MS Internet Explorer 2.0	HTML 2.0, refresh, tables
MS Internet Explorer 3.0	HTML 2.0, refresh, tables
