XES Synergix 8825/8830/8850/8855 & X2-TECH System Introduction 18
Quick Start for Printing to the
X2-TECH
Initial Setup
• Make sure that you have a working connection established between your
computer and the printer’s Controller (both machines switched ON and
connected by Ethernet TCP/IP).
For full details see your System Administrator, or refer to the XES
Synergix 8825/8830/8850/8855 Network Administrator’s Guide. See the
section entitled “Configuring TCP/IP Communications for the 8855
Printer.”
• To quickly test communications between your workstation and the
Controller, use your workstation’s Web Browser to connect to the Web
Printer Manager Tool (Web PMT), which is a series of web pages
residing on the hard drive of the Controller. With the appropriate
password, obtained from your System Administrator, the Web PMT
operates like a workstation-controlled, Printer Control Panel, enabling the
selection and setting of the Controller’s default job processing
parameters, including those related to color.
To connect to the Web PMT you must be running Netscape 4.0 or
Internet Explorer 4.0, or newer, versions of these browsers.
In your browser’s URL box, enter http:// followed by your Controller’s IP
address (for example, http://13.1.105.30) supplied by your System
Administrator. Press Enter on your keyboard.
If you have a valid TCP/IP connection, the Main Page of the Web PMT
will be displayed as shown in the TYPICAL example on this page.
If the Main Page of the Web PMT does not display, see your System
Administrator for assistance.
• Install the HP-GL/2 (version 7.5) Print Driver appropriate to the Windows
Operating System on your workstation. Select the X2-TECH color printer
from the displayed list of printers during driver installation.
For full installation details refer to the XES Synergix
8825/8830/8850/8855 HP GL/2 & HP RTL Print Driver User Guide.
