Printing from a PC (DOS)

1.In your application software, set up the printing options for a color printer driver. For more information on making these selections, refer to your application software’s user manual.

2.Make sure that the PC communication ports have been set up correctly. Refer to “Setting up PC ports (DOS)” on page 2-34 for instructions.

3.Select the printer driver for the Phaser 240, a Tektronix Phaser printer, or a generic color PostScript driver.

Note Generic PostScript printer drivers do not have information about your Phaser 240 printer, for example, its page sizes and its image area size. Using a standard Letter- or A4-size media selection should produce acceptable results.

a.Select the appropriate port (an LPT port for parallel or one of the network connections).

b.Set the page margins in your application software as needed. For details on the printer's paper and margin sizes, refer to “Margins and print area” on page 3-9.
