PC: Updating the driver software for Windows NT

If you are using Microsoft Windows NT, follow these instructions to update the printer driver that enables you to print to a Phaser 340. This update procedure provides printer page size information for Windows NT applications. However, TekColor color corrections and other PostScript Level 2 features are not supported by the Windows NT driver. Refer to the Phaser 340 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for instructions on other ways of selecting color corrections. Refer to your Microsoft Windows NT documentation for details on features in the Windows NT driver.

Note This procedure requires that a PostScript printer driver be installed on your system. If it is not, you will need your original Windows NT setup diskettes (or CD-ROM).

1.Start your system with Windows NT.

2.If your computer has an Intel-compatible processor, such as the Intel I386, go on to Step 3.

If your computer is a MIPS or Alpha, you need to edit the PRINTER.INF file on the Phaser 340 CD-ROM or Printer Software for Windows diskette.

a.The Phaser 340 CD-ROM and Printer Software for Windows diskette are read-only (write-protected). To edit the PRINTER.INF file, copy the following files from the top level of either CD-ROM or diskette to a new, formatted floppy diskette.

Place all files at the top (root) level of the new diskette.
