Getting Set Up 2

Workstation users

The printer-control PostScript Þles that are on the Tektronix CD-ROM and the Windows 3.1 Driver and Printer Utilities PC-format diskette can be used with Unix and VMS workstations. These Þles let you set up your spooling system to select between media types, color corrections and other features.

Unix workstation users can access utility Þles in the following ways:

■Install the Þles from the CD-ROM if your system includes a CD-ROM drive.

■Mount the optional PC diskette on the workstation (refer to the table in Chapter 5 for ordering information).

■Download utility Þles from the Tektronix Bulletin Board Service (BBS).

■Request utility Þles from the Tektronix Color Printer Information Server over the Internet.

Most workstations with 3.5-inch disk drives provide a device driver that allows you to mount a PC ßoppy diskette. Refer to the Phaser 480X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference manual for information on mounting PC diskettes.

Refer to the Chapter 6 in this manual for information on accessing TektronixÕ Bulletin Board Service or Color Printer Information Server.
