Printing from a workstation
Overview
You can print from a UNIX or VMS workstation through Ethernet, Token
Ring, parallel, or serial interfaces. Workstation users can print from any
application that generates color PostScript, or directly from the screen with
the PhaserPrint software.
For instructions and examples on creating print queues for your specific
platform, see the Tektronix World Wide Web site:
http://www.tek.com/Color_Printers
Or, you can contact Technical Support at 1-800-835-6100 .
To use the TekColor color corrections and other printer features, use one of
the following methods:
■
PhaserPrint™ for UNIX software functions like a printer driver for
selecting printing options, and provides fast screen copy printing.
■
The menus on the printer’s front panel let you select printing options;
refer to page 8-1 for instructions on using the front panel.
■
Downloadable utility files let you select printing options; refer to the
on-line manuals on the printer’s CD-ROM for instructions.
UNIX workstations
For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers the optional PhaserPrint™ for
UNIX software which offers driver-selectable printer options and provides
fast, raster file and screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers.
