   Note: The Advanced Configuration Tool creates a configuration file. The printer uses the information in that configuration file rather than the configuration file set up by PCONSOLE. Use the Advanced Configuration Tool to set the printer's configuration server to "" (an empty string). Then delete the configuration file created by the Advanced Configuration Tool before using PCONSOLE to change the configuration.

If you use Change Password in PCONSOLE, the password is not sent to the printer. Use the Advanced Configuration Tool to set the printer password.

Configuration using the Advanced Configuration Tool

Before beginning this procedure, make sure that the printer is connected to the network and turned on.

1. Log on with supervisor privileges.

2. Start the Advanced Configuration Tool:
   1. Change (CD) to the directory that contains the tool. For example, if the tool is in F:PUBLIC, type:
      F:
      CD PUBLIC

      Type:

   ACT

   Select Quick configuration from the Configure menu. The available Tektronix printers are displayed.

   Select the Tektronix printer you wish to configure and press Enter. The factory default print server name is in the following syntax:

   TEKxxxxxx

   where xxxxxx are the last six hex digits of the printer's Printer ID.

   ---

   Note: If the printer does not appear in the list of available printers, you could have a network hardware problem or an incorrect frame type (see Printer does not appear in the Advanced Configuration Tool).

   ---

   When you have selected a Tektronix printer, a list of file servers is displayed. Select the file server you wish to configure and press Enter.

   You may be prompted to log in to the server. Log on with supervisor privileges.

   After you log in to the file server, a list of queues is displayed. Select an existing queue or create a new queue. To create a new queue, press Insert, type the name of the queue, and press Enter.

   You can now configure more queues or finish the quick configuration.

   If you want to finish the quick configuration

   1. Select Save configuration and restart print server.

   2. Select the name of the file server that will hold the configuration file for this printer and press Enter. This saves the configuration file and restarts the print server portion of the printer (not a complete printer reset).

      If you want to configure more queues

   Select Save configuration and press Enter.

   Select the name of the file server that will hold the configuration file for this printer and press Enter. (This step is only needed after configuring the first queue.)

   A list of queues for the current file server is displayed. To add queues to a different file server, press Escape and return to Step 5. To configure a queue from the current file server, select an existing queue from the displayed list or create a new queue. To create a new queue, press Insert, enter the name of the queue, and press Enter.
