7 Using Printer Utilities

In addition to using the printer’s front panel or the options in a supported driver, the printer’s utility files offer another method for changing the way the printer operates. In some cases, a selection can only be made with a utility file.

Utility files control print features such as color correction and enabling or disabling the Startup Page. However, printer features that are selected from a driver override utility file settings and front panel settings.

There are three ways to install utility files:

From the printer’s CD-ROM

From Tektronix’ ftp site

From Tektronix’ World Wide Web site

Using the files on the printer’s CD-ROM

Downloading files from a Macintosh

Using the Apple Printer Utility to download files

All PostScript utility files and fonts on the printer’s CD-ROM can be downloaded to the printer with the Apple Printer Utility.

N O T E

If your printer is connected through a print server, you can only use the Apple

Printer Utility to download PostScript utility files.
