Phaser 380 Color Printer

Printing from a workstation

Overview

You can print from a UNIX or VMS workstation through Ethernet, Token

Ring, parallel, or serial interfaces. Workstation users can print from any

application that generates color PostScript.
To use the TekColor color corrections and other printer features, use one of

the following methods:

PhaserPrintª software for UNIX workstations functions like a

printer driver for selecting printing options, and provides fast

screen copy printing.

PhaserSymª software and EasyCopy/X for VMS workstations

provides proper communication with the printer.

The menus on the printerÕs front panel let you select printing

options; refer to ÒFront panel overviewÓ on page 7-1 for

instructions on using the front panel.

Downloadable utility Þles let you select printing options; refer to

the on-line manuals on the printerÕs CD-ROM for instructions.

UNIX workstations

For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers the optional PhaserPrintª

software. PhaserPrint software offers driver-selectable printer options and
