Description:


This article contains instructions for setting up any ImageQUEST Xerox AltaLink Copier for use on the WSU Network.

Starting from a clone image:

1. Check the IP Address of the printer to verify that it has been set up with a proper hostname.  Per-building printer subnets are listed on wiki.wichita.edu.  By default, the printer's hostname should be displayed on its control panel. Ping the hostname to determine the IP address.  If the printer does not have a proper hostname/IP address, verify the steps listed in the latest Printer Setup Checklist have been completed.

2. Connect to the web interface of the printer using the hostname and log in as "admin".  Information about administrator logons will be available to Desktop Support staff through their eWallet.  If the admin password has not been properly set, Desktop Support can also provide the factory default password. The Admin Password can be reset by clicking Properties at the top of the home page, then navigating to Security > Password Policies > Admin Password in the left-hand pane.
