4.In the right portion of the Chooser, find your printer’s name in the list of printers. If
the name does not appear, see page 21.
Note
It is possible for the Printer Name field on the Configuration Page to be blank.
When the printer is turned on, it uses a default name and then checks to see that
no other printer on the network has the same name. If enough printers with the
same default name are present, it can take several minutes for the printer to
establish a unique name. If the Printer Name field on the Configuration Page is
blank, wait a short time and reprint the Configuration Page.
18Phaser 860 Color Printer
EtherTalk Configuration
If the printer is not in the Chooser, check that the Configuration Page shows a printer

Notes Regarding Duplicate Printer Names on a Network
■
If you have more than one printer in the same zone and you choose a name for one
printer that is already assigned to another, the second printer registers itself on the
network with the number 1 appended to the name. For example, if you attempt to
assign a printer the name Xerox and another printer in the zone already has the same
name, the printer you are naming appears on the network as Xerox-1.
■
The added number is recalculated each time the printer is turned on. If you have more
than one printer with the same name on the network, the printers’ names on the
network depend on the order in which the printers are turned on. To avoid this
confusion, it is recommended that you assign each printer on the network a unique
name.
■
The added number is displayed in the Chooser, on the printer’s front panel, and on
the Startup Page. On the Configuration Page, the name, without the characters @ : = *,
and with the added number, appears in the EtherTalk area. The Printer Name under
General Information is the name as it was set, not as it is displayed in the Chooser.

CentreWare Internet Services
CentreWare Internet Services
CentreWare IS is a printer administration and support tool using World Wide Web
technology. With CentreWare IS software, you can access printer status and manage your
printer over a TCP/IP network using a web browser.
CentreWare IS gives you the following capabilities:
■
Receive printer status and manage printers, independent of network servers and
operating systems.
■
Define a link to your local web server’s support page.
■
Access online manuals and technical support information by using built-in links to
the Xerox web site.
CentreWare IS provides an easy-to-use, consistent interface that you can use for most of
the configuration tasks described throughout this guide.
CentreWare IS requires only a World Wide Web browser and a TCP/IP connection between
the printer and the network. (TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer.)
For complete information on using CentreWare IS, see the CentreWare IS Online Help.
Accessing the Printer From a Browser
Once a TCP/IP connection to the printer has been established and the printer’s IP address
is set, you can visit the printer’s Status page from your web browser by entering the
printer’s URL (Uniform Resource Locator), just as you would to visit any web site. The
printer’s URL is:
http://printer’s-IP-address/
where printer’s-IP-address is the IP address or DNS name you set during TCP/IP
configuration.
Example using IP address: http://192.1.1.1/
Example using DNS name: http://Xerox_Marketing/

Job Accounting
The printer stores information about jobs printed in a log file. The log file is stored either
in the printer’s memory or on a hard disk, if one is connected to the printer. 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 for job accounting.
The log file is a list of job accounting records. Each record contains fields such as user
name, job name, pages printed, job times, and ink used. Not all fields are supported by all
printers. For details, refer to the CentreWare DP or CentreWare IS online help.
The job accounting values reported vary depending on the protocol and print command
used when each job was printed. For example, using NPRINT over NetWare provides the
printer with the most information about the job being printed. When using Windows and
NetWare, the job name is often LST: or LST:BANNER. Other jobs from other ports may
provide even less information about the job.
Job accounting is available through CentreWare DP and CentreWare IS. See page 24.
Using CentreWare IS
1.Connect to the printer via CentreWare IS (see page 23).
2.On the right side of the main CentreWare IS page, click Jobs.
The Job Accounting Links page has links that enable you to browse, download, and
clear job accounting records.
For complete information on CentreWare IS job accounting, including clearing job
information, downloading job information to a file, and job accounting file formats, see the
CentreWare IS Help.

MaiLinX Alerts
MaiLinX alerts allows the printer to automatically send e-mail to the system administrator
and others under the following conditions:
■
When printer errors, warnings, and alerts occur.
■
When the printer requires attention (for example, when service is required).
■
When a reply to a CentreWare IS Remote Internet Printing message is desired. See the

Usage Profile Reports
The printer can generate reports detailing printer usage. Usage profile reports track over
160 items, including:
■
Unique printer information, such as printer name, date installed, total pages printed,
options installed, and network ID.
■
Supplies usage data (for example, ink). By tracking supplies usage, you can order
supplies in advance, so your printer will always be well-stocked with supplies.
■
Media and tray information, such as how often prints are made on paper compared to
transparencies, and how often each tray is used.
■
Job characteristics, such as size and timing of jobs.
Types of Reports
■
Job report — The job report contains information on the last printed job. This report
can only be e-mailed; it cannot be printed, because printing it creates a new job that
overwrites the report data. The job report is useful in environments where billing for
each print job is required.
■
Full report — The full report contains detailed printer usage information for all jobs
printed during the life of the printer. The full report is available in several formats.
See the following table for details.
Full Report Formats
PrintedE-mailed
Viewable; fields are labeled for easy reading.
The following three formats available:
■ Empty fields omitted.
■ All fields shown.
■ For OCR (optical character recognition). All
fields are shown, with labels, but the reports
are set up to be readable by OCR equipment.
All text is in a monospace font and each data
value is in a fixed location on the page.
