Printing Basics

You can print to your printer from Windows-based PCs (personal
computers), Macintosh computers, and workstations. Make sure that your
printer is set up with the appropriate interface port; refer to “Connecting the
printer” on page 2-18. If you haven’t already installed the printer’s
software, refer to “Installing Printer Software” on page 3-1 for instructions
before continuing.

Refer to the following topics for specific information:

“Printing from a PC” on page 4-1

“Printing from a Macintosh” on page 4-12

“Printing from a workstation” on page 4-18

Note

Refer to the on-line manuals on the printer’s CD-ROM for
information on “Printing from DOS.”

Printing from a PC

You can print from a PC with or without a printer driver. The supported
drivers allow you to select printing features right from your computer. Refer
to page 4-2 for a reference table of printing features and to page 4-20 for
detailed information.

Without a supported driver, you can make some printing selections from the
printer’s front panel. Refer to page 4-21 for a list of front panel selections
and to page 8-1 for instructions on using the front panel.

For information on selecting print options with utility files, refer to the
online documents on the printer’s CD-ROM or the Tektronix World Wide
Web site at
