Phaser 240 Color Printer

Printing from a Unix or VMS workstation

You can print from a workstation through Ethernet or parallel interfaces.
Workstation users can print from any application that generates color
PostScript.

For Unix and VMS environments, Tektronix offers Phaser Print. Phaser Print
provides fast raster file and screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers.
Phaser Print also provides a graphical user interface for push-button control
of Tektronix printer features.

Phaser Print software is available for these workstations:

Note

Tektronix offers a similar solution for DEC OpenVMS VAX and
DEC OpenVMS AXP.

Phaser Print works with the workstation’s native spooling system to print
PostScript files and raster files in these formats: Sun Raster Format (SRF),
xwd

, and SGI RGB.

If you ordered the TCP/IP Ethernet option for your printer, you received a
demonstration copy of Phaser Print on a compact disk (CD). If you did not
receive a demonstration CD but would like one, or if you would like to
purchase a licensed version of Phaser Print, contact your dealer, local
Tektronix office, or in the United States, call 1-800-835-6100.
