Installation in Mac OS 9/8
Print Server Installation Manual
13
A text file is sent to this virtual printer as a print job. The print server
analyses the text file and reads and saves new parameter values.
Afterwards, the print server is restarted automatically. The text file
will not be printed, however.
By means of the text file, all parameters which are contained in the
'parameters' configuration file can be set. The User Manual contains
an overview of print server parameters.
In Apple networks in which TCP/IP is used, it is advisable to save the
IP address on the print server by means of the text file and to then
use the print server homepage to configure the print server.
Creating the Text
File
The text file should be created using a simple Editor, such as the
"Notepad." The parameter name and its corresponding value are
shown in one line of the text file and are separated by an equals
sign. The spelling of the parameter name has to correspond to the
one in the 'parameters' configuration file. No Apple-specific special
characters or equals signs are to be used for the parameter values.
