About the Configuration File
You can create a startup network configuration file to configure settings or load fonts, color tables, and
job patches. When the printer is turned on or reset, the printer retreives the configuration file from a
TFTP server, and processes the file.
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
Printer Commands
on page 95.
•
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 path name 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
