Phaser 860 Color Printer

Printer Management 

SysStart Job execution  

You may load a startup file (

SysStart

) onto the printer’s internal hard disk, if installed. The 

SysStart

 file is similar to an 

init

 file — when you turn on or reset the printer, the file 

executes.

There are three methods for turning on/turning off SysStart:

From the printer’s front panel

Using CentreWare IS Printer Management software

Using utility files

Note

If the 

SysStart

 file contains an error, the printer ignores the remainder of the file 

and may not start up as expected.

To turn on/turn off the execution of the SysStart job from the printer’s front panel:

1.

With 

Menus

 highlighted, press the 

OK

 key.

2.

Scroll to 

Printer Setup Menu

 by pressing the 

Scroll Up

 or 

Scroll Down

 key.

3.

Press the 

OK

 key.

4.

Scroll to 

Startup Mode

. The end of the line also displays the setting (

On

 or 

Off

). 

5.

To change the setting, press the 

OK

 key.

6.

To make the change take affect, reset the printer.

To turn on/turn off the execution of the SysStart job using CentreWare IS Printer 

Management software:

1.

From your printer’s Internet Services home page, click 

Properties

.

2.

On the left side of the 

Properties

 page in CentreWare IS, click 

Printer Defaults

.

3.

If desired, change the setting for 

System Start Job

 (under 

User Preferences

 on the 

Printer Defaults

 page).

4.

Click the 

Save Changes

 button on the bottom of the page.

5.

To make the change take affect, reset the printer.

To turn on/turn off the execution of the SysStart job using utility files:

Macintosh:

Set SysStart Job 

— Turns on automatic execution of the SysStart job

No SysStart Job

 — Turns off automatic execution of the SysStart job

Refer to page 38 for downloading instructions.

To make the change take affect, reset the printer.
