Using the Tektronix Bulletin Board Service
The Tektronix Bulletin Board Service (BBS) is available for direct downloading of the latest versions of printer drivers, utilities, and files. If you have a Macintosh or PC, communication software, and modem, you can call the system and use the menus to locate and download the files you want.
To access the BBS 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, call (503) 685-4504.
For a detailed instruction guide on system requirements, terminal settings, protocol, modem, how to connect to our BBS, and how to download files, request a document catalog from HAL or EuroHAL, the Tektronix automated fax systems. Refer to "Using the automated fax systems" for instructions on using these systems.
If your problem is still not resolved after trying the suggestions in this chapter, call the Tektronix Customer Support Hotline in the United States Monday through Friday, from 6 AM to 5 PM PST at 1-800-835-6100. Outside the U.S., contact your reseller or local Tektronix office.
Also, refer to the HAL catalog for articles on using the printer, specific applications, and computing environments; see "Using the automated fax systems" for instructions on using HAL and EuroHAL.
Tektronix has a site on the World Wide Web (WWW). You can reach the site from a WWW browser at the following address:
http://www.tektronix.xerox.com/
At the Tektronix Color Printer home page, explore options such as customer support documents and new product information. New and updated information is always being added, so check the WWW site frequently.
You can access the Tektronix World Wide Web server (WWW) to download files such as utilities or drivers. Use a web browser such as Netscape or Mosaic and follow these steps:
- Start your web browser and enter the following address:
- ftp://ftp.tek.com/bbs
- Click on the appropriate platform (macintosh, pcs, or unix).
- Click on 300X for Phaser 300X printer-specific files.
- Select the files you need; the system prompts you to select a location for downloading the files.
Using the automated fax systems
As an alternative to using the Customer Support Hotline, and to provide up-to-date information quickly, Tektronix has set up HAL and EuroHAL, two interactive, automated fax systems. These automated fax systems provide Macintosh, PC, and workstation users with the latest technical hints and tips (like color matching), solutions to common technical problems, and application notes (like CorelDRAW! and QuarkXPress).
You may call HAL or EuroHAL from anywhere in the world. The fax systems are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
If you have a fax machine and a touch-tone voice telephone, you can order a HAL catalog listing all of the information offered by HAL.
Note:Before ordering documents from HAL, order a catalog listing the
numbers of available documents. You may want to replace your
catalog periodically, since the system is often updated.
- Before you call, write down the area code and telephone number for your fax machine. HAL will ask you to key this number through the keypad on your voice telephone. If you are calling from outside the United States or Canada, you'll need to know the international access code to reach your country from the United States. Without a complete fax number, HAL cannot call your fax machine.
- Call (503) 682-7450 (direct) or, in the U.S. and Canada, call 1-800-835-6100. Call only from a touch-tone voice telephone.
- At the prompt, choose the option for technical documentation via fax.
- Follow through the voice-prompted (English) menu.
- Order individual documents by entering the desired document's number as listed in the HAL catalog. Enter the number by using your telephone's keypad.
- You can order up to three documents per call.
- The HAL catalog or documents you request are faxed to you in a matter of minutes.
Use EuroHAL in Europe
EuroHAL includes many documents, some in English and some in other European languages. If a local version of the document you want is available, EuroHAL will send it in your language. Otherwise, it will send English documents.
If you have a tone-dial telephone and a fax machine, then you can use EuroHAL. If your telephone has star (*) and hash mark (#) keys then it can probably use tones; ask your local telephone supplier if you are not sure. If your telephone does not have these keys or has a dial, you will need to buy a tone dialer from your local telephone or electronics shop. This small box is held to the phone and will send the standard tones that you need to talk to EuroHAL.
- To use EuroHAL, dial one of the numbers listed in the following table.

Downloading files from the Tektronix ftp server
The utility files included with the printer on a PC/DOS diskette and CD-ROM, let you set up the printer from UNIX and VMS workstations to select print quality modes, color correction modes and other features. If you don't have the means of transferring these files from the PC diskette, or you cannot use the CD-ROM, you can request files from the Tektronix anonymous ftp server.
If you can exchange electronic mail with other Internet sites, you can access the Tektronix ftp server. From this server you can retrieve driver and utility files and color printer information.
To log onto the Tektronix ftp server and download utility files, follow these instructions:
- Type the following at the system prompt:
- ftp ftp.tek.com
The system responds:
Name (ftp.tek.com:<login name>) :
- Type anonymous and press the Return key.
The system responds:
Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail
address as password.
- Enter your e-mail address and press the Return key.
- Change directories to your printer-specific directory:
- cd UNIX/<Tektronix printer>/utilities
- To download the utility files, type the following command:
- mget *
The system prompts you for each file in the directory, to
which you respond y (yes) or n
(no).
- To exit the ftp session, type quit or bye; then press the Return key.
Getting printer service
If your printer needs service, call 1-800-835-6100 (in the U.S., from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm PST). Outside the U.S., contact your Tektronix dealer or local Tektronix office.
If you don't have a CD-ROM drive, you can access on-line documents and information in the following ways:
Opening the READ ME files on the Macintosh diskette
The Phaser 300X printer's CD-ROM and Printer Software for the Macintosh diskette contain READ ME files providing information that arrived too late to be included in this manual. The READ ME files were written in the SimpleText program. You must have a copy of SimpleText for System Software 7.1 and later (or TeachText for earlier systems) installed on your hard disk to read these files. If you don't have a copy already installed, copy SimpleText (or TeachText) from the same Apple system software diskettes you last used to upgrade your computer.
