Phaser 380 Color Printer

Using the Adobe PostScript driver for Windows 3.1

To select printing options, follow these steps:

1.

From the Control Panel, double-click Printers.

2.

In the Printers dialog box, select the Tektronix Phaser 380 printer,

then click Setup. A dialog box appears with the printerÕs name

across the top.

3.

Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your

Windows documentation for more information on tabs and

options.

Click the Paper tab to see media options, such as media sizes,

media trays, and media types.

Click the Features tab to see printer-speciÞc options, such as color

corrections.

Set the Timeout settings.

Not Selected: Type a value 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, and is

recommended.

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.

To avoid these unnecessary timeouts, set this option to a larger

value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes). Type a value

between 45 and 999 in this text box; the Windows default

setting is 45 seconds.

Click the PostScript tab to see PostScript-related options.

In the Performance Options Þeld, select the Use PostScript Level 2

Features option.
