Troubleshooting 7

The printer’s optimum image processing throughput via a dedicated Ethernet connection is faster than the other ports. Actual throughput will generally be somewhat affected by network traffic, image complexity, color correction, and memory configuration. For details on the printer’s paper-marking speed, see “Specifications” on page 10-7.

If you tried to print a document with bitmapped images, but are dissatisfied with the speed of the output, here are some suggestions.

All users

When you use any color correction option (other than None), your printer can take longer to process bitmapped images. Select color corrections from the supported drivers, with downloadable utility files, or from the printer’s front panel; see page 4-24 for instructions.

The Fast Color print quality option prints faster than any of the other modes. Select print quality modes from the supported drivers, with downloadable utility files, or from the printer’s front panel. See page 4-23 for details on the print quality modes.

Macintosh and Windows users

If you are using Adobe Photoshop, you can print using the Tektronix PhaserPrint plug-in to improve the image data transfer time from your Macintosh to the printer. For instructions on installing and using the plug-in, refer to the printer’s CD-ROM and World Wide Web topics.
