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.
