Chapter 1 Introduction How to use this manual This manual provides information needed by system administrators and others who need to install Tektronix color printers equipped with an internal Ethernet interface. Tektronix printers that do not support the internal Ethernet interface can be attached to Ethernet networks by using the Tektronix 4511A Network Interface. The 4511A Network Interface supports the TCP/IP protocol (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). See

Chapter 2 Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers Many Tektronix color printers are equipped with a rear panel Ethernet connector. However, to make the connector active, internal hardware is required. The internal hardware can be purchased initially with the printer as an option or later as an upgrade kit. The internal hardware is a small circuit board installed inside the printer. How to tell if the Ethernet internal hardware is installed in your printer To determine

2 Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers TCP/IP authorization code When the Ethernet option is installed, the EtherTalk and NetWare protocols are immediately active. To acquire TCP/IP capability, another option is required. Upon purchasing the TCP/IP option, you receive an authorization code, which is sent to the printer to activate the TCP/IP protocol. If you purchase the TCP/IP option initially with the printer, the authorization code is sent to the printer at the factory (TCP/

2 Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers Ethernet connection Ethernet is a communication standard that supports very high speed data transmission. Ethernet offers signiÞcant speed improvement compared to serial, parallel, and LocalTalk connections. Speed improvement varies greatly depending on network trafÞc, computer hardware, and other factors. The printer's Ethernet port conforms to the IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet II standards, but it uses the smaller AAUI connector (developed by Ap
