Tektronix 560 Using the Windows NT 4.0 PostScript driver, Print command options in an application

4Printing Basics

Using the Windows NT 4.0 PostScript driver

When using Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, make sure that you have first installed and set up a driver for a Phaser 560 printer (refer to page 3-4). Then, select printer features (such as TekColor color corrections) from the Windows NT driver.

Selecting printer options from the Control Panel

Note Document properties set from an application always override document defaults set in the printer’s Properties sheets. However, if an application does not set a document property (such as page orientation or paper size), the printer defaults to the document properties set in the printer’s Document Properties sheets.

To view a printer’s Default Document Properties:

1.Open the Printers folder.

2.With the right mouse button, click on the printer’s icon.

3.With the left mouse button, click on Document Defaults.

4.Click the Advanced tab to change any printer features, including TekColor.

5.Click the Page Setup tab to see other features.

Note Select Installed for the optional Lower Tray Assembly if your printer has this accessory. You must

make this selection for the optional media trays to be available under Document Defaults.

Print command options in an application

Note Changes to any of these settings override the Default Printer Properties settings in the Printers folder.

1.Select Print from the File menu; the Print dialog box appears. You can select a different printer and other settings in this dialog box.

2.Click on the Properties button; the Printer Document Properties sheet appears.

3.Click the Advanced tab to change any printer features, including TekColor. This tab displays the same information as the Document Defaults Properties Advanced tab.

4.Click the Page Setup tab to see other features. This tab displays the same information as the Documents Defaults Properties Page Setup tab.
