Using the printer with Windows NT
|
|
These instructions assume a basic familiarity with Windows NT operation and terminology. For additional information about Windows NT, refer to your Microsoft Windows NT documentation.
Note:You may need your original Windows NT setup diskettes (or
CD-ROM) to complete this procedure if you need to install a
PostScript printer in Step 4.
- Start your system with Windows NT.
- If your computer has an Intel-compatible processor, such as the Intel I386,
go on to Step 3.
If your computer is a MIPS, Alpha, or PowerPC, you need to edit the
PRINTER.INF file on the Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM.
- From the Main window, double-click on the Print Manager
icon.
- If you have a PostScript printer driver installed, go on to Step 5.
- Install the Tektronix Phaser 300X printer. From the Printer menu, select Create Printer; the Create Printer dialog box appears.
- Under Driver, scroll to the end of the list and select Other; the Install Driver dialog box appears.
- When prompted, do one of the following.
- Under Printer Driver, choose your Phaser 300X printer from the list, then click OK.
Note:If you are not sure which configuration of the printer you have,
the printer's startup page lists this information under Extended
Features: Yes/No. See "Printing a startup page" for
instructions on printing a copy of the printer's startup page.
In the Windows NT Setup dialog box, type in the same path you used in Step 7 (for example, B:). Click Continue; the Noncritical Error dialog box appears.
When you are prompted for the location of the PSCRPTUI.DLL file and the PSCRIPT.DLL file, click Ignore. (These files were installed in the procedure in Step 4 or were already installed.)
When the Create Printer dialog box appears, fill in the other fields as desired, then click OK; the PostScript Printer Setup dialog box appears.
Select options in the PostScript Printer Setup dialog box. Enabling the Use Printer Halftoning option is recommended. Then click OK; the Windows NT Setup dialog box appears.
If you installed a PostScript printer in Step 4, follow this procedure to delete it. (Now that the Tektronix printer is installed, this printer is no longer needed.)
Selecting printer options in Windows NT
If you are using Microsoft Windows NT, follow the instructions in "Updating the driver software" to print to a Phaser 300X printer. The update procedure provides printer page size information for Windows NT applications.
TekColor color corrections and other PostScript Level 2 printer features are not supported by the Windows NT driver.
