Printing from a workstation

Overview

You can print from a UNIX or VMS workstation through Ethernet, Token Ring, parallel, or serial interfaces. Workstation users can print from any application that generates color PostScript.

To use the TekColor color corrections and other printer features, use one of the following methods:

■PhaserPrintª software for UNIX workstations functions like a printer driver for selecting printing options, and provides fast screen copy printing.

■PhaserSymª software and EasyCopy/X for VMS workstations provides proper communication with the printer.

■The menus on the printerÕs front panel let you select printing options; refer to ÒFront panel overviewÓ on page 7-1 for instructions on using the front panel.

■Downloadable utility Þles let you select printing options; refer to the on-line manuals on the printerÕs CD-ROM for instructions.
