Application hints

For information about using specific software applications with your printer, contact Tektronix’ HAL or EuroHAL information systems. In the U.S., call 1-800-835-6100or (503) 682-7450; for EuroHAL telephone numbers, refer to “If you need help” on page 7-1. For a complete listing of available topics, request a catalog.

Tektronix supplies and software

Always use Tektronix supplies to ensure the highest quality prints and printer performance. Do not use any media designed for inkjet printers, especially inkjet coated paper and inkjet transparencies. Inkjet media are coated with a substance that will damage the fuser; Tektronix does not furnish service for damage or malfunction caused by the use of non-Tektronix supplies or consumables. Always use Tektronix-brand coated paper and transparencies that have been specially designed for use with Tektronix Color Laser Printers.

Tektronix Printer Description Files (PPDs) and utility files work with the drivers to provide the best access to printer features. See page 9-2 for ordering information.

Getting the largest printed picture

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

■The area of media that the Phaser 560 prints on is smaller than the size of the media (refer to “Margins and print area” on page 4-31 for more details). You may have to adjust the margins in your application software.

The correct-sized image for the media

■Make sure that the image you are printing is smaller than the size of the selected media (for example, when printing on envelopes).
