Phaser 560 Color Laser Printer

Using the Adobe PostScript driver for Windows 3.1

To select printing options, follow these steps:

1.

From the

Control Panel

, double-click the

Printers

icon.

2.

In the

Printers

dialog box, choose the

Tektronix Phaser 560

printer, then click

Setup

. A dialog box

appears with the printer’s 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.

Paper

For media options (sizes, types, and source)

Features

For printer-specific options such as color correction.

Set the

Timeout settings

. Refer to “Setting the timeouts” on page 4-11 for instructions.

PostScript

For PostScript-related options

In the

Performance Options

field, select the

Use PostScript Level 2 Features

option.

Under

PostScript Timeout

values, leave

Job Timeout

set to

0

. Leave the

WaitTimeout

set to the

default,

240

(4 minutes). Setting it higher ensures that you will not lose a multi-page job due to a

timeout after the

Transmission Retry

alert message is displayed.

Job Control

For print job-related options

Note

The PostScript header contains important PostScript information that must accompany each print job;
it is not a banner page printed with each job. If an option is not selected, an error message is displayed
on your computer screen and your job does not print.

Click one of the following in the

PostScript header

field:

Download Each Job

This option downloads PostScript header information with each print job.

Already Downloaded

This saves the PostScript header information in the printer. After selecting this button, select
the

Download

button. This option makes print files a little smaller and faster than the first

option, but you need to click the

Download

button every time the printer is turned off or reset.

For better performance, select the

Binary Mode

option.
