Improving print speed

Note There are different ways to improve print speed, such as by upgrading to EtherTalk on a Macintosh, to Novell on a PC, or to TCP/IP on a workstation. For more information, request a document catalog from HAL or EuroHAL, the Tektronix automated fax systems. Refer to page 8-2 for instructions on using these systems.

If you tried to print a document with bitmapped images, but are dissatisfied with the speed of the output, here are some suggestions.

When you use any color correction option (other than None), your printer can take longer to process bitmapped images. Select color corrections from the Tektronix drivers or with downloadable utility files; see page 6-5 for instructions.

The Standard option prints faster than the Enhanced and

High Resolution options. Select these print quality modes from the Tektronix drivers or with downloadable utility files; see page 5-8 for instructions.

The printer is shipped with 5 Mbytes of memory. Adding more memory to your printer increases the data throughput from your computer to the printer. See the Phaser 240 Color Printer User Manual for details and ordering information.
