4Printing Basics

Printing from specific applications

For printing from most applications, follow the instructions in “Installing Printer Software” on page 3-1 to install drivers and printer software. Some applications require additional configuration or page description files, which may have been installed with the driver.

General hints and tips

For printing hints and tips beyond the information provided in the application’s manuals, look for additional information in the following places:

■World Wide Web: If you have access to the Internet, you can view selected topics on the Phaser 560 printer’s web page. Access the printer’s documentation from this web address:

■HAL: Request a document catalog from HAL or EuroHAL, Tektronix’ automated fax systems. Refer to “Using the automated fax systems” on page 7-3 for instructions on using HAL and EuroHAL.

Print features

This printer provides several ways to select print features:

■Through a supported printer driver (recommended)

Use these selections to override the settings selected from the printer’s front panel.

■From the printer’s front panel

Use these settings when printing from a non-supported driver (one that does not support the printer’s features).

■Using PhaserLink software

If your network is running TCP/IP and you have a World Wide Web browser, you can use this browser to view printer status and select printer features. Refer to the PhaserShare Status Software User Manual for complete information.

■Sending a PostScript utility file to the printer

Use these settings only when printing from a non-supported driver. You can find detailed information on the printer’s CD-ROM and the Tektronix web page:
