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
CentreWare IS.
Using CentreWare IS
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 path name of the configuration file.
4. Click the Save Changes button.
