Print using (Windows)

The Print using pop-up menu lets you choose between printing an image or saving the image to disk. It has two to four options, depending on your system configuration:

■TCP/IP Available if a TCP/IP stack is installed and running. From Printer model, choose a printer. Add and delete printers in the list, and edit the printer configurations.

N O T E

TCP/IP is the fastest printing method; it prints jobs in much less time than the Parallel Port or Printer Driver methods, and is the recommended method if it is available for the printer you are using.

■Local Port Available if you have local ports installed in your PC. From the Port Name, choose the desired printer port.

■Printer Driver Prints the image through the selected printer driver. From Driver name, choose a printer.

■PostScript file Saves an image to disk as a PostScript file. Click Save; a dialog box lets you choose a new or existing file for saving the PostScript code.

When selected, the File format pop-up menu becomes available. This pop-up menu has two options: ASCII base-85and Binary.

■ASCII base-85Image data is encoded using an ASCII base-85 filter during file output, making the resulting PostScript file portable so that it can be downloaded through interface ports that don’t support binary data. Note that the file may be up to 25% larger.

■Binary Image data is output in binary format. Recommended for network printing only (not for the parallel port).

Printer name

Displays the currently selected printer.

Printer model

■Lists all printers supported by PhaserPrint software.

■When you select your printer model, PhaserPrint displays the correct options for your printer.
