PhaserPrint for UNIX

For printing in UNIX environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrint™ for UNIX software which provides fast raster ﬁle and screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers. PhaserPrint for UNIX software also provides

a graphical user interface for push-button control of Tektronix printer features. PhaserPrint for UNIX software works with the workstation’s native spooling system to print PostScript ﬁles and convert raster ﬁles to PostScript from the Sun Raster Format (SRF), xwd, SGI RGB, and other formats.

The printer’s CD-ROM contains a demonstration copy of the PhaserPrint for UNIX software and an on-line instruction guide in the phaserpr.unx directory. Refer to “Printing from a workstation” on page 4-18 for more information.

Note To order PhaserPrint for UNIX software, use Tektronix order number 4690F20.

SCSI hard disk

You can attach a Tektronix-approved external SCSI hard disk (order number Z350DSK) to the printer’s SCSI port. You can connect one or more external SCSI hard disks to the printer for additional font storage. Contact Technical Support for recommended SCSI disk drives.
