Xerox 740 Installation Instruction

You can set the printer’s IP address and other IP parameters by any of the 
following methods: 

■

■

 Uses RARP (Reverse Address 

Resolution Protocol),  BOOTP (Boot Parameter Protocol), or DHCP.  
When turned on or reset, the printer receives its IP addressing 
information from a boot server.  See “Setting IP parameters: RARP or 
BOOTP” on page 61 or “Setting IP parameters: DHCP” on page 62.

■

  Can be used on hosts that do not have RARP, 

BOOTP, or DHCP.  For UNIX, use a Tektronix-provided shell script to 
prepare a configuration file.  When you send the file to the printer, you 
store the IP addressing information in the printer’s internal memory, 
where the printer reads it when reset.  See “Setting IP parameters: 
PostScript utility file (UNIX only)” on page 64.   

■

PC and Macintosh users can also set IP parameters using PostScript 
utility files; see the README files on the printer’s CD-ROM or 
diskettes.  The PC README file is in the UTILS directory; the 
Macintosh README file is in the Network Utilities folder.

■

 

After setting the printer’s IP address by one of the other methods listed 
here, you can perform the rest of the TCP/IP configuration using 
PhaserLink software, if you have a World Wide Web browser.  See 
“Setting IP parameters: PhaserLink software” on page 67.

When two or more IP addressing methods are used simultaneously, the printer 
uses the first address that it successfully obtains.
