UNIX Network
Overview
Your Phaser printer supports connection to a variety of UNIX
platforms. Below is a list of the currently supported versions:
■
SunOS
■
Solaris
■
IBM AIX
■
Hewlett-Packard HPUX
The procedures contained in this document will enable you to connect

Quick install steps
1. Print the Configuration Sheet. Details are in this document in
Appendix A: Print the Configuration Sheet.
2. Check the Configuration Sheet and verify that both TCP/IP
protocol and the proper connector are enabled.
3. Go to Appendix B: Set an IP Address and perform one of the
procedures there, depending on the manner in which you wish to
set your printer’s IP address.
4. SUNOS and Solaris: Refer to the CentreWare DP User Guide for
SunOS/Solaris (English only) included on the Printer
Management Software CD-ROM for CentreWare installation and
detailed printer setup instructions.
Other UNIX OS: Load printer drivers and configure the printer for
one of the Print Models. These drivers are available on the Printer
Management Software CD-ROM or from the Xerox web site
(ftp.xerox.com).
5. Send a print job to the printer.
6. Check the print job for print-quality. If print-quality problems
exist, use the print-quality section of your printer’s Advanced
Features and Troubleshooting Manual to correct the problem.
7. If your print job did not print, see the Troubleshooting section for

correct the problem.
Internet Printer Services
Overview
Your Phaser printer includes an integrated web server. This means you
can now check up on your printer status using your favorite web
browser software! This section will show you how to set up this
feature.
The type of network to which your Phaser printer is connected will
determine how Internet services will be enabled.
Requirements
■
It is recommended, but not mandatory, that you install a
Java-enabled browser on the workstation(s), which will use the
Internet Services Tool. For best performance and compatibility,
use Netscape Navigator 3.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01 or
later.
■
Your printer and workstation(s) must be connected to a network,
which has the TCP/IP protocol enabled.
■
These procedures assume a general knowledge of your network
type and the operation of your web browser software.
■
It is recommended that you set both Subnet Mask and Default
Gateway parameters if your printer is on an inter-network with
more than 1 segment. These parameters are optional if you are not
communicating to your printer over a WAN.
Configure your web browser
This procedure will configure your web browser software to connect to
your printer on the network.
1. Consult Appendix B: Set an IP Address and assign your printer a
TCP/IP address.
2. Perform the procedure in Appendix A: Print a Configuration
Sheet and retain the page for the steps below.
3. Launch your web browser software.
4. Enter your printer's TCP/IP address from your Configuration
Sheet into the Address or Location field on your browser (this
name is browser-dependent). Press [Enter].
5. Your browser will connect to the imbedded web server on your
printer and display the printer's “Home Page.”
6. Once you have established communication with your printer, be
sure to save the URL in your Favorites, or Bookmarks (this name
is also browser-dependent), so you can quickly reconnect when
necessary.
Note
To make it easier for browser software to find the printer, be
sure to update your DNS or NIS to include the printer.
Appendix A: Print the Configuration Sheet
It is important to print a Configuration Sheet for proper setup of the
printer on the network. The information will be used to verify NIC
address, verify enabled printer options, to check printer IP address, to
check the print server name in the case of a Novell network, and to
verify the AppleTalk name or zone if used in an AppleTalk network.
The default settings are suitable for most applications.

Appendix B: Set an IP Address
Your printer can be set up on a variety of TCP/IP networks. There are
several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP address,
depending on your network.
Static Addressing TCP/IP address is assigned
Dynamic Addressing
BOOTP
Dynamic Addressing DHCP
(Dynamic Host Resolution
Protocol)
This appendix contains procedures for each of these methods.
Determine which method will be used for your network and follow the
steps of the appropriate procedure.

Static addressing
The printer is assigned a TCP/IP address by a network administrator
and this address is manually input to the printer. Perform the steps
below:
1. Press Menu Up or Menu Down until you see:
Menu
Ethernet Menu
2. Press Item Up or Item Down until you see:
Ethernet Menu
IP Address Resolution
3. Press Value Up or Value Down until you see:
IP Address Resolution
Static
4. Press Enter.
5. Press Item Up or Item Down until you see:
Ethernet Menu
IP Address
6. Press Value Up or Value Down until you see:
IP Address
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
7. Use Value Up or Value Down to increment the underlined value
in the IP Address by 1 each time the key is pressed. Holding down
Value Up or Value Down causes continuous scrolling through the
values.
8. Use Item Up or Item Down to scroll left or right respectively
through the positions of the IP Address and repeat Step 4 above
until you have completely selected the IP Address.
9. Press Enter to set the IP Address after you have completed
selecting it.
10. Reset the Printer to have the new settings take effect.
Dynamic addressing (RARP/BOOTP1)
The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the Server. Follow
the steps below:
1. Press Menu Up or Menu Down until you see:
Menus
Ethernet Menu
2. Press Item Up or Item Down until you see:
Ethernet Menu
IP Address Resolution
3. Press Value Up or Value Down until you see:

4. Press Enter.
5. Update the RARP/BOOTP

server's /etc/ethers or /etc/bootptab
and the /etc/hosts files with a host name, TCP/IP and Network
addresses. Consult your UNIX documentation for more

server configuration details.
6. Power off the Printer.
7. Power the printer on and allow time for an IP address to be
assigned by the RARP/BOOTP
1
server (this time may vary
depending on network traffic).
8. Perform the steps contained in the section of this document
entitled Appendix A: Print the Configuration Sheet.
9. Obtain the TCP/IP address from the Configuration Sheet.

RARP is not functional even when selected. Only BOOTP is
functional.
Dynamic addressing (DHCP)
The TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the server.
1. Press Menu Up or Menu Down until you see:
Menus
Ethernet Menu
2. Press Item Up or Item Down until you see:
Ethernet Menu
IP Address Resolution
3. Press Value Up or Value Down until you see:

DHCP
4. Press Enter.
5. Power off the printer.
6. Power the printer on and allow time for an IP address to be
assigned by the DHCP server (this time may vary depending on
network traffic).
7. Perform the steps contained in the section of this document
entitled Appendix A: Print the Configuration Sheet.
8. Obtain the TCP/IP address from the Configuration Sheet.
9. Update the lease time, if necessary, depending on your
printer-usage patterns.
Note
If your network is using this protocol to assign TCP/IP
addresses, be aware that the lease on the assigned address
can run out if your printer is taken off the network for longer
than the allocated lease time.
