5Printing: Beyond the Basics

Improving print speed

Note There are different ways to improve print speed, such as by printing over Ethernet. For more information, visit the Tektronix web site. Refer to “On-line support” on page 9-1.

To speed the printing of a document with scanned images, here are some suggestions:

All users

■When you use any color correction option (other than None), your printer can take longer to process bitmapped images. Select color corrections from the supported drivers, with downloadable utility Þles, or from the printerÕs front panel; see ÒTekColor correction descriptionsÓ on page 5-3 for more information.

■The Fast Color print-quality mode is the fastest mode, followed by the Standard print-quality mode and the Enhanced mode. Select print-quality modes from the supported drivers, from the printerÕs front panel, or through your web browser; see ÒAdjusting print speed and resolutionÓ on page 4-4 for more information.

Macintosh and Windows users

■If you are using Adobe Photoshop, you can print using the Tektronix PhaserPrintª software plug-in to improve the image data transfer time from your computer to the printer. See the on-line manual on the printerÕs CD-ROM for instructions on installing and using the plug-in.
