PhaserShare Administrator software makes your Tektronix color printer easier to use 
in a NetWare environment. It provides network administrators with printer 
management capabilities, job accounting information, and configuration 
information. 

This chapter provides instructions for installing the PhaserShare Administrator.  This 
chapter also provides basic information on how to use the PhaserShare 
Administrator.  Chapter 4, “Novell NetWare Configuration”, provides quick 
configuration instructions.  More detailed information on using the PhaserShare 
Administrator is available through the PhaserShare Administrator’s on-line help.

The PhaserShare Administrator is a powerful tool for network and system 
administrators designed to simplify administration and make Tektronix printers 
easy to share.  The PhaserShare Administrator’s key features are listed here:

■

  You can control printer settings and 

network settings.  You can remotely set the print server name, IPX frame 
types, and many more NetWare parameters, bringing printer control to 
your desktop.

■

  The PhaserShare Administrator is a valuable printer 

management tool for network administrators.  With real time printer 
messages and access to a remote printer control panel, administrators can 
resolve many printing problems without leaving their desks.  By using the 
Notify List to send printer alerts, the network administrator is the first to 
know if a printing problem exists.

■

  The PhaserShare Administrator supports automatic 

driver distribution and queue management.  Once you install a Tektronix 
printer driver on a network server, the driver is automatically available to 
all network users. 

■

  Job accounting allows you to track printer usage by 

individual user and job on NetWare networks.
