Printing from a PC: DOS

1.In your application software, set up the printing options for a color printer driver and a communications port. 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 “PC: DOS and setting up ports” on page 2-42 for instructions.

3.Select the printer driver for the Phaser 340, a Tektronix Phaser printer, or a generic color PostScript driver.

Note Generic PostScript printer drivers do not have information about your Phaser 340 printer, for example, its page sizes and its image area size. Using a standard Letter- or A4-size media selection should produce acceptable results.
