Tektronix manual LaserWriter 8.x setup, 46Phaser 340 Color Printer

2Getting Set Up

LaserWriter 8.x setup

The LaserWriter 8.x driver uses printer-specific PPDs (PostScript Printer Description files) for information on a printer’s page sizes, printing options, and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340 printer, do the following steps depending on the version of the driver you are using. If the printer is busy, it may take some time to complete this configuration procedure; you may want to do this procedure when the printer is idle. You only have to configure a printer once.

Note During installation, the LaserWriter 8.x driver leaves other versions of the LaserWriter driver intact.
