Troubleshooting Phaser 750 Printers
Printing PANTONE Colors
If printer-specific PANTONE Colors are not printing as expected, make sure that you are
printing without any color corrections selected. Refer to PANTONE Colors on page 10 for
more information.
There are many variables in process reproduction of colors generated by your printer, any
one of which may affect the quality of the PANTONE Color simulation, including:
■ Type of media used
■ Print quality mode selected
■ Effective final resolution
■ Dot structure/halftones
■ Density of the toner colors
Using the Tektronix halftone screens
Tektronix halftone screens are designed for Tektronix printers, and improve print quality
over application-set halftone screens. The Setscreen Off (SCRENOFF.PS) utility file
redefines some PostScript operators, such as the setscreen, setcolorscreen and sethalftone.
When downloaded to the printer, this file prevents applications from overriding the
Tektronix proprietary halftone screens.
Refer to Printer Utilities on page 23 for instructions on using these files.
If you have any problems with halftone screens, refer to the TekSMART knowledge base
for solutions: www2.tek.com/TekSMART/
