Phaser 350 Color Printer

Image prints in
black-and-white instead
of color.

PC users: Be sure to use a driver that supports color

PostScript. If you are running Windows, use the
Tektronix-supplied driver that was shipped with the
printer’s software. Refer to “Printing from a
workstation” on page 3-20 f
or information on drivers.

Microsoft Excel users: Be sure to check the Print

using color option in the print dialog box.

Macintosh users: Use a supported color PostScript

printer driver and the Phaser 350 printer’s PPD file.
Select Color/Grayscale in the Print Options dialog
box. Refer to “Printing from a Macintosh” on page 3-14
for more details on how to print from a Macintosh.

You may need to install application-related files such as

a PDF file for QuarkXPress.
PC Users: Refer to “PC/Windows software” on
page 2-31 f
or information.
Macintosh Users: Refer to “Macintosh software” on
page 2-52 f
or information.

You may have incorrectly sent the Monochrome color

correction utility file to the printer.

Network problems

Symptom

Solution

The printer doesn’t
appear in the Chooser
on a Macintosh.

Always make network connections before turning on

the printer. Turn the printer off, wait at least 15 seconds
and turn the printer’s power on again.

Check the termination; refer to the documentation for

your network adapter or connector for information on
termination.

Check the configuration page to get the zone name

and printer name. Refer to “Printer Help Pages” on
page 7-6.
Make sure that the correct zone and printer
name have been selected in the Chooser.

If you have changed the printer’s name, did you make

it a unique name (not the same as any other printer in
the zone)?

Make sure that the correct network is selected in the

Network Control Panel.
