■Using the color correction switches on the printer’s rear panel.

The Phaser 480X allows you to make color corrections with rear panel Switches 8 and 9. If using the Tektronix driver, select Use Printer Setting. The combinations of these two switches have the following effect:

Switch 8

Switch 9

Use NVRAM setting (default setting is

 

 

Euroscale Press)

 

 

 

Note If your printer is on a network and you have changed rear panel Switches 8 or 9, make sure you tell other users on the network since the switches affect all prints made with non-Tektronix drivers or the Use Printer Setting option in the Tektronix drivers. The NVRAM setting can be changed when both switches are up, by sending one of the utility files from the CD-ROM or the diskettes.

Using the rear panel switches for color correction is only necessary if you are not set up to use the Phaser 480X drivers. If you are using TekColor Dynamic Correction in the Phaser 480X drivers, the settings you choose in the drivers override the rear panel switches.

For complete information on color correction, refer to the

Phaser 480X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.
