Tektronix Phaser 350 Using the Microsoft PostScript driver with Windows, Set the Timeout settings

3Printing Basics

Using the Microsoft PostScript driver with Windows 95

To select printing options, follow these steps:

1.In the Printers window, click the Phaser 350 printer icon with the right mouse button, then select Properties from the menu.

2.Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your Windows 95 documentation for more information on tabs and options.

■Click the Details tab to see timeout and other options.

■Set the Timeout settings.

Not Selected: Type a value of 0, or between 15 and 999, in this text box to change the number of seconds Windows waits before notifying you that a printer is off-line. The default is 15 seconds.

Transmission Retry: On large or multiple-page documents you may see an Alert message that the printer is no longer accepting data before the job is completely sent to the printer. When using a shared printer, you should set this option to a larger value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes) to avoid these unnecessary timeouts. Type a value between 45 and 999 in this text box; the default setting is 45 seconds. (If you are having timeout problems, also see “Printer’s timeout” on page 6-31 for information on setting the printer’s timeout.)

■Click the Paper tab to see media options, such as media sizes, media trays, and media type.

■Click the Graphics tab to see graphics options.

Note Use the Print Quality selections in the Device Options tab instead of the Resolution Options in the Graphics tab. See page 3-5 for details.

Note If you are using host color correction, you need to make selections in the Graphics and Device Options tabs. Refer to the on-line manuals on the printer’s CD-ROM for more information on host color correction.
