This guide provides information to help you quickly install the Tektronix

Phaser 840 color printer in the following environments:

■EtherTalk, LocalTalk, and TokenTalk

■Novell NetWare

■UNIX

■Windows 95 and Windows 98

■Windows NT

For detailed networking information, including troubleshooting, see the online manual on your printer’s CD-ROM, or see the PhaserShare Networking Manual in PDF format on your printer’s CD-ROM.

For information on installing Tektronix printers in DOS environments, see the printer’s CD-ROM or network utilities diskettes. They contain PostScript utility ﬁles that can be sent to the printer for network conﬁguration in DOS environments. They also contain a DOS application, NWSET, for printer conﬁguration on NetWare networks.

For information on how to use the DOS conﬁguration ﬁles, see the README ﬁles on the printer’s CD-ROM and network utilities diskettes. PC users: the README ﬁle for PostScript utility ﬁles is in the UTILS directory; the README ﬁle for NWSET is in the NETWARE directory. (Macintosh users: the ReadMe ﬁle for PostScript utility ﬁles is in the Network Utilities folder).

For information on installing into OS/2 environments, see the online manual on your printer’s CD-ROM, or see the PhaserShare Networking Manual in PDF format on your printer’s CD-ROM.
