Printing from a PC

You can print from a PC with or without a printer driver. The supported drivers allow you to select printing features right from your computer. Refer to page 4-2 for a reference table of printing features and to page 4-20 for detailed information.

Without a supported driver, you can make some printing selections from the printer’s front panel. Refer to page 4-21 for a list of front panel selections and to page 8-1 for instructions on using the front panel.

For information on selecting print options with utility files, refer to the online documents on the printer’s CD-ROM or the Tektronix World Wide Web site at http://www.tek.com/Color_Printers/.
