Printing from a workstation

You send files to this printer as you would any PostScript printer such as the Apple LaserWriter II NTX. Workstation users can print from any application that generates PostScript (Level 1 or 2), HP-GL, or PCL5.

Sun and SGI users can use Tektronix' Unix Phaser Print software with Tektronix color printers. Phaser Print provides fast raster screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers. Phaser Print also provides a graphical user interface for push-button control of certain Tektronix printer features.

Unix Phaser Print for Sun works with lpr to print PostScript files and raster files in these formats: Sun Raster Format (SRF), xwd, and SGI/RGB.

Unix Phaser Print for SGI works with lp to print ASCII text files, PostScript files, and raster files in these formats: SGI/RGB and xwd. Unix Phaser Print for SGI requires the Impresario printing software from SGI.

For more information on setting up spooling systems and printing from workstations, contact HAL, the Tektronix automated FAX system. Refer to “Whom to call for help” on page 6-14 for details on using the HAL system.
