1 Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers

Support for DOS systems

For information on installing Tektronix printers in DOS environments, see the printer’s CD-ROM. 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. PC users will find the README file for the PostScript utility files in the UTILS directory; the README file for NWSET is in the NETWARE directory. (Macintosh users will find the ReadMe file for the PostScript utility files in the Network Utilities folder).

Tektronix PhaserPrint for UNIX software

For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrint software. PhaserPrint for UNIX provides fast raster screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers. PhaserPrint for UNIX also provides a graphical user interface for push-button control of Tektronix printer features.

■IBM RS/6000: AIX 3.2 and 4.2

■DECstation: ULTRIX 4.0 and 4.4

■ DEC Alpha AXP: OSF/1 3.0, 3.2, and Digital UNIX 4.0

PhaserPrint for UNIX works with the workstation’s native spooling system to print PostScript files and raster files in these formats: Sun Raster Format (SRF), xwd, SGI RGB, HP Starbase, TIFF, PBM, GIF, PCX, and BMP.

Your printer’s CD-ROM contains a demonstration copy of PhaserPrint for UNIX and an on-line instruction guide in the unix/unixdemo directory. You can also obtain a demonstration copy at this Tektronix site:
