Note For information on speciÞc applications, request a document
catalog from HAL or EuroHAL, the Tektronix automated fax
systems. Refer to ÒUsing the automated fax systemsÓ on page 6-3
for instructions on using these systems.
If you get a PostScript error when printing from PageMaker, FreeHand,
QuarkXPress, or Canvas, you may be using an older version of the printer
description Þle. Other common mistakes include selecting the wrong PPD
or PDF Þle, incorrect timeout settings, corrupt image data, and bad cable
connections.
The PostScript error handler utility can provide useful information about
your particular printing problem. Refer to ÒUsing a PostScript error
handlerÓ on page 6-27 for details on this utility.

you have are the most recent. Refer to the on-line manual on the printerÕs
CD-ROM or ÒIf you need helpÓ on page 6-1 for information on TektronixÕ
online services. To determine the date of the Þle you are using, do the
following:
