Settable parameters on the View and Configure General Settings page
Read-only parameters on the View and Configure General Settings page Parameter Description Ports This field reports the ports available on the printer and the installed PhaserShare card. Ethernet (or Token Ring) Protocols This field reports the protocols available. If this field is not displayed, it is not supported by the printer. Printer ID This field reports the Printer ID, a unique number that identifies the printer. Authorization Code This parameter is read-only on this page; it is hyper-linked to the Reset Printer Parameters page, where it can be set. Authorization codes are used to activate optional printer features. Authorization codes sent to the printer take effect after the printer is reset. If the code is shown as all zeros, no authorization has been done yet. Adobe PostScript Level 2 Version This field reports the version number of the PostScript firmware installed in the printer. Tektronix Version This field reports the firmware version number of the printer's PostScript ROM and the firmware version number of the print engine ROM. RAM Memory This field reports the amount of RAM installed in the printer. Fonts Available This field reports the number of fonts in the printer's PostScript ROM. Copystation Firmware This field reports the firmware version number of the Copystation, if one is connected to the printer.
This topic describes the fields and their contents for the following web pages available from the View and Configure Interface Settings page:
Note: For on-line information on the function of each field, click the Contact Tektronix button on the PhaserLink software Help page; this connects you to the Support page. In the Support page, click on PhaserLink.
View and Configure AppSocket Settings
If you select AutoSelect, the printer automatically senses the language of the print job and processes it accordingly; this is called automatic language selection. Refer to your printer's user documentation for more information about automatic language selection and which languages the printer supports.
View and Configure EtherTalk Settings
View and Configure FTP Settings
Note: This page is not implemented in the Phaser 340 or Phaser 550 printers.
View and Configure LPR Settings
View and Configure NetWare Print Server Settings
If you choose AutoSelect, the printer automatically senses the language of the print job and processes it accordingly; this is called automatic language selection. Refer to your printer's user documentation for more information about automatic language selection and which languages the printer supports.
Ethernet frame types:
Token Ring frame types:
The new frame type is not used until the print server or printer is reset.
You may enter a value between 0 and 1999 minutes. The default value is 3 minutes. You may need to increase the value beyond the default if the network has a file server that takes a long time to start up after a power cycle. Setting the value to 0 disables the timeout; that is, the printer will continue to search for a configuration file server or directory services tree indefinitely.
If this NDS is enabled, an entry must be entered in the DS Tree field.
View and Configure Parallel Port Settings
Note: Protocol cannot be set to Normal if Language is set to AutoSelect; Protocol cannot be set to Raw if Language is set to PostScript, HPGL, or PCL.
Note: If Communication is set to Uni-directional, Output Device must be set to null string (select any text in the field and delete it). With a PhaserShare Ethernet or Token Ring card, if Communication is set to Bi-directional, the Output Device must be set to %Parallel%.

View and Configure PhaserShare Card Settings (Token Ring Card)
For Locally Administered Addresses, you can enter any valid Token Ring address between 4x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and 7x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Entering an empty string causes the printer to reset the address to the printer's default address.
Route Broadcasting is ignored if Bridging is set to Transparent.
NOTE: Some protocols (for example, IP and ARP) always use all routes, so they are not affected by this parameter.
View and Configure SNMP Settings
View and Configure Syslog Settings
Note: If you are using BOOTP to set the printer's IP address, this value is overwritten by the value entered in the bootptab file.
View and Configure TCP/IP Settings
If you choose Dynamic Address Resolution, the values in the following fields are overwritten when the printer is reset: IP Address, Network Mask, Broadcast Address, and Gateway Address.
Token Ring frame type:
View and Configure TELNET Settings
Note: The View and Configure TELNET Settings page is not implemented in the Phaser 340 and Phaser 550 printers.
View and Configure TokenTalk Settings
Note: When Delayed Output Close is Off for a protocol, job accounting is disabled for that protocol.
If the log file is stored in the printer's memory, it is lost when the printer is reset; therefore, it is recommended that a hard disk be used with this job accounting feature.
The printer stores job accounting information for up to 5000 jobs on the hard disk if one is connected to the printer. The printer stores job accounting information for up to 500 jobs if the printer is not equipped with a hard disk.
Note: It is best to access job accounting information only when the printer is idle.
Note: For Phaser 350 printers. Each time the Download and Clear or Download buttons are clicked, the printer performs the requested operation for up to 50 of the oldest records. If more records are stored, the download and clear operations must be repeated. The Clear button clears all of the records. For Phaser 550 printers and Phaser 340 printers (serial number BCxxxxxx and above). Each time the Download and Clear or Download buttons are clicked, the printer performs the requested operation for up to 25 of the oldest records on a base model printer or 100 records on a plus model. If more records are stored, the download and clear operations must be repeated. The Clear button clears all of the records.

Note: The Phaser 560 printer's log file format is different. See Job accounting log file format for Phaser 560 printer.
The last two fields, media-size and media-type, contain the coded values listed in the following table.
The fields are separated by commas (,) and an empty field is indicated by two consecutive commas (,,).
The fields media size and media type contain coded values from those listed in the following table.
The values in the fields cyan used, magenta used, yellow used, and black used represent the percentage of the entire toner cartridge for that color that was used by the job. For example, 1.00800 indicates that 1.008% of the contents of the toner cartridge was used.
The fields start time and end time show the duration of the print job in milliseconds. The start time is always 0; the end time is the total elapsed time of the print job in milliseconds.
The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that you enter in the field is accessed when you click on the following links:
Note: This password is for PhaserLink software only; it is not related to the PostScript job password.
The maximum length for a password is ten characters; passwords are case-sensitive.
