Macintosh users

Install the Phaser 240 driver onto your Macintosh to make the best use of the printer. Phaser 240 driver allows you to select Tektronix Phaser page sizes, upper and lower paper trays, and TekColor color corrections for a Phaser 240 printer.

■Use the Phaser 240 driver if you are using System Software 6.0.7, or 7.0 and later. The Phaser 240 driver is a Tektronix-modified version of Apple’s LaserWriter 7.1.2 printer driver. If you are using System Software 7.5 with QuickDraw GX, you must disable QuickDraw GX before using this driver; the Phaser 240 driver does not work with QuickDraw GX.

■Use the Phaser 240 GX driver if you are using QuickDraw GX and System Software 7.5. The Phaser 240 GX driver works with QuickDraw GX applications and with non-QuickDraw GX applications.

The Phaser 240 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference provides detailed driver installation procedures and complete information on using the Tektronix drivers with your printer.

In addition to installing a driver, you may also need to install PPDs (PostScript printer description files) for applications such as Aldus PageMaker and QuarkXPress. For details on printing from an application, refer to the Phaser 240 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.
