Assigning print queues with PhaserPrint for UNIX

For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrint for UNIX software, which
provides fast raster printing and a graphical user interface with push-button
control of printer features. For more information on PhaserPrint software, see
the PhaserShare Networking Manual on the printer’s CD-ROM.

If you want to print using PhaserPrint for UNIX software, you must use
PhaserPrint software to configure your host. Refer to the PhaserPrint for UNIX
user manual or the instructions provided with the PhaserPrint for UNIX
CD-ROM for configuration information. PostScript and PDF versions of the
manual are available from the Tektronix ftp site:

ftp.tek.com/cpid/UNIX/phaserprint2.1/demo/MANUALS

Required remote printer queue names

The printer’s internal LPR queue uses the BSD protocol; its known queues are
listed in the following table. These are the only remote queue names that the
printer recognizes. If you use another name, the printer automatically defaults
to AUTO.

N

O

T

E

Your printer model may not support all languages listed in the table. See your
printer’s user documentation for information on the supported languages.

Using PostScript utility files to control printer features from queues

As you set up a spool queue, you can use the PostScript utility files provided
with your printer’s software to control printer features (for example, selecting
upper or lower paper trays, or selecting print quality modes). See your printer’s
user documentation for more information on these utility files.
