4Printing Basics

Using the Adobe PostScript driver for Windows 3.1

To select printing options, follow these steps:

1.From the Control Panel, double-click the Printers icon.

2.In the Printers dialog box, choose the Tektronix Phaser 560 printer, then click Setup. A dialog box appears with the printer’s name across the top.

3.Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your Windows documentation for more information on tabs and options.

Paper	For media options (sizes, types, and source)
Features	For printer-specific options such as color correction.

■Set the Timeout settings. Refer to “Setting the timeouts” on page 4-11 for instructions.

PostScript For PostScript-related options

■In the Performance Options field, select the Use PostScript Level 2 Features option.

■Under PostScript Timeout values, leave Job Timeout set to 0. Leave the WaitTimeout set to the default, 240 (4 minutes). Setting it higher ensures that you will not lose a multi-page job due to a timeout after the Transmission Retry alert message is displayed.

Job Control For print job-related options

Note The PostScript header contains important PostScript information that must accompany each print job; it is not a banner page printed with each job. If an option is not selected, an error message is displayed on your computer screen and your job does not print.

■Click one of the following in the PostScript header field:

■Download Each Job

This option downloads PostScript header information with each print job.

■Already Downloaded

This saves the PostScript header information in the printer. After selecting this button, select the Download button. This option makes print files a little smaller and faster than the first option, but you need to click the Download button every time the printer is turned off or reset.

■For better performance, select the Binary Mode option.
