Printing from a workstation

Overview

You can print from a UNIX or VMS workstation through Ethernet, Token Ring, parallel, or serial interfaces. Workstation users can print from any application that generates color PostScript, or directly from the screen with the PhaserPrint software.

For instructions and examples on creating print queues for your specific platform, see the Tektronix World Wide Web site:

Or, you can contact Technical Support at 1-800-835-6100.

To use the TekColor color corrections and other printer features, use one of the following methods:

■PhaserPrint™ for UNIX software functions like a printer driver for selecting printing options, and provides fast screen copy printing.

■The menus on the printer’s front panel let you select printing options; refer to page 8-1 for instructions on using the front panel.

■Downloadable utility files let you select printing options; refer to the on-line manuals on the printer’s CD-ROM for instructions.

UNIX workstations

For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers the optional PhaserPrint™ for UNIX software which offers driver-selectable printer options and provides fast, raster file and screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers.
