About the Configuration File
To configure printer settings or to perform other tasks, such as loading fonts, color tables, and job
patches, you can create a startup network configuration file. Every time the printer is turned on or
reset, the TFTP service on the TFTP server downloads the configuration file once an IP address
is acquired and confirmed in the printer. The TFTP service processes the data in the
configuration file as if it were a standard print job.
Configuration File Requirements
The configuration file must be:
•
A valid PostScript or PCL file that contains the appropriate PostScript, PCL, or PJL
commands. For a list of additional PCL and PJL commands, see
•
Stored on a TFTP server that the printer can access over the TCP/IP network.
Specifying the Location of the Configuration File
To specify the location of the configuration file, do one of the following:
•
If the printer is connected to a TCP/IP network in a DHCP/BOOTP environment:
•
Use DHCP option 66 to specify the TFTP server IP address or host name.
•
Use DHCP option 67 to specify the pathname of the configuration file.
For information on how to set these parameters, refer to your DHCP or BOOTP server
documentation.
•
If the printer is connected to a TCP/IP network in a non-DHCP environment, use
the EWS
.
Using the EWS
1. Click the Properties tab and expand the Protocols menu.
2. Select TFTP.
3. On the TFTP Settings page, set the following:
•
In the TFTP Server Name field, type the TFTP server IP address or host name.
•
In the Boot File Name field, type the pathname of the configuration file.
4. Click the Save Changes button.
