PC users: Be sure to use a driver that supports color PostScript. If you are running Windows, use the Tektronix-supplied driver that was shipped with the printer’s software. Refer to “Printing from a workstation” on page 3-20 for information on drivers.

Microsoft Excel users: Be sure to check the Print using color option in the print dialog box.

Macintosh users: Use a supported color PostScript printer driver and the Phaser 350 printer’s PPD file. Select Color/Grayscale in the Print Options dialog box. Refer to “Printing from a Macintosh” on page 3-14 for more details on how to print from a Macintosh.

You may need to install application-related files such as a PDF file for QuarkXPress.

PC Users: Refer to “PC/Windows software” on page 2-31 for information.
