The Tektronix PhaserPort software is a port monitor that allows you to print directly 
from Windows 95 and Windows 98 to a networked Tektronix printer via TCP/IP. 
There is no need for third-party software or a third-party interface attached to the 
parallel port.  PhaserPort gives your printer increased throughput without 
sacrificing connectivity.

If you don't already have a TCP/IP address configured for your PC, contact your 
system administrator to ensure that the configuration is made according to your 
company guidelines. If there is no TCP/IP network already in place, configure your 
PC with a unique address such as 192.1.1.1.

To check the IP address for your PC, follow these steps:

From the Start menu, click Run.

Enter:         

Click OK.

Choose your network adapter from the pulldown list.

The IP address is listed in the IP Address field.

For more information on installing and configuring TCP/IP in Windows 
environments, see your Microsoft Windows documentation.

There are three ways to assign the printer’s IP address:

■

  For more information, see “General

For more information, see “Setting IP parameters: DHCP” on

  For more information, see the README 

files on the printer’s CD-ROM.  PC users will find the README file for the 
PostScript utility files in the UTILS directory.  Macintosh users will find the 
ReadMe file to the PostScript utility files in the Network Utilities folder.
