Printing from a PC: Windows

1.Make sure that the Windows printer driver has been installed.

2.Click on the Printer Setup command from the File menu (or the similar command in your application). Select Tek Phaser 480X (TekColor) from the list. If you have previously set the printer as the default printer, it will already be selected on the list.

3.Use the Setup dialog box to select the paper size and other printing options.

4.Click on the Options button to display the Options dialog box.

a.Click on the Printer Features button to display the Tektronix Printer Features dialog box.

b.Use the Tektronix Printer Features dialog box to select TekColor color corrections and media type (Paper or

Transparency).

c.Use the Combine Separations check box if you are printing color separations from one of the supported applications and you want to print the separations as a single Þle. Once you mark the check box, you can select your application from the pulldown list.

Note Make sure that you load the same type of media in the paper tray that you select in the printer driver. Failure to do so will result in a ruined image: selecting Paper and printing on transparency causes washed-out colors; selecting Transparency and printing on paper causes over-saturated (dark) colors.

If the Printer Features button does not appear in the Options dialog box, the Tektronix Windows driver probably is not installed or the Phaser 480X has not been selected.

For details on the Tektronix driver, refer to the Phaser 480X Drivers and

Utilities Printing Reference.
