Tektronix supplies and drivers

Always use Tektronix supplies to ensure the highest quality prints and printer performance. Tektronix print drivers provide extensive control of print features.

Getting the largest printed picture

To get the largest printed picture, keep in mind the following:

■The area of paper that the Phaser 480X prints on is smaller than the paper size (refer to ÒMargins and print areaÓ on page 3-12 for more details). You may have to adjust the margins in your application software.

■Use a Tektronix Phaser 480X driver to get the largest print (image) areas. Refer to the Phaser 480X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.

Ethernet is the fastest port, followed by the parallel port, the LocalTalk port, then the serial port.
