Improving print speed

Note There are different ways to improve print speed, such as by upgrading to Ethernet. For more information, request a document catalog from HAL or EuroHAL, the Tektronix automated fax systems. Refer to “Using the automated fax systems” on page 6-2 for instructions.

If you tried to print a document with scanned images, but are dissatisfied with the speed of the output, here are some suggestions.

All users

■When you use any color correction option (other than None), your printer can take longer to process bitmapped images. Select color corrections from the supported drivers, with downloadable utility files, or from the printer’s front panel; see “Color correction descriptions” on page 4-6 for more information.

■The Fast Color print quality mode is the fastest print-quality mode, followed by the Standard print-quality mode and the Enhanced (600 x 300) mode (available with the printer’s Extended Features option). Select print quality modes from the supported drivers, with downloadable utility files, or from the printer’s front panel; see “Print quality modes” on page 3-27 for more information.

Macintosh users

■If you are using Adobe Photoshop, you can print using the Tektronix PhaserPrint software plug-in to improve the image data transfer time from your Macintosh to the printer. See the on-line manual on the printer’s CD-ROM for instructions on installing and using the plug-in.
