The printer-control PostScript Þles that are on the CD-ROM and the PC-format diskettes can be used for Unix workstations. Most workstations with 3.5-inch disk drives provide a device driver that allows you to mount a PC ßoppy diskette. These PostScript Þles let you set up your spooling system to select media types, color corrections and other features.

If you donÕt have the means of transferring utility Þles from either the CD-ROM or PC diskette, you can download utilities and Þles from the Tektronix Bulletin Board Service (BBS), request Þles from the Tektronix Color Printer Information Server (an automatic Þle serving program on the Internet), or from the World Wide Web, eWorld and America OnLine. Refer to Chapter 6, ÒTroubleshooting,Ó for information about accessing these network resources.
