Printing from a workstation
|
Overview
You can print from a UNIX or VMS workstation through Ethernet, Token Ring, parallel, or serial interfaces. Workstation users can print from any application that generates color PostScript.
For instructions and examples on creating print queues for your specific platform, see the Xerox World Wide Web site:
http://www.tektronix.xerox.com/Color_Printers
Or, you can contact Technical Support at 1-800-835-6100.
To use the TekColor color corrections and other printer features, use one of the following methods:
- UNIX workstations: PhaserPrint software for UNIX workstations functions like a printer driver for selecting printing options, and provides fast screen copy printing.
- VMS workstations: PhaserSym software and EasyCopy/X for VMS workstations provides proper communication with the printer.
- The menus on the printer's front panel let you select printing options; refer to Using the Front Panel for instructions on using the front panel.
- Downloadable utility files let you select printing options; refer to Using Printer Utilities for instructions.

UNIX workstations
For UNIX environments, Xerox offers the optional PhaserPrint software. PhaserPrint for UNIX software offers driver-selectable printer options and provides fast, raster file and screen copy printing to Xerox color printers.
PhaserPrint for UNIX software is available for these workstations:

PhaserPrint for UNIX software works with the workstation's native spooling system to print PostScript files and raster files in these formats: Sun Raster Format (SRF), xwd, SGI RGB, and many others.
The printer's CD-ROM contains a demonstration copy of PhaserPrint for UNIX software and an on-line instruction guide in the UNIXDEMO directory. If you would like to purchase a licensed version of PhaserPrint software, contact your dealer, local Xerox office, or in the United States, call 1-800-835-6100.
To print from VMS workstations, the optional PhaserSym utility, a VMS print symbiont, functions as a driver for selecting printing options, and as a queue manager. PhaserSym software is compatible with DEC workstations running VAX/VMS version 5.0 and later. PhaserSym software communicates over the printer's optional TCP/IP Ethernet interface, and is required for proper communication with the printer.
The optional EasyCopy/X software provides fast raster image printing to Xerox printers.
- World Wide Web: If you have access to the Internet, you can view selected topics on the Phaser 600 printer's web page. Access the printer's documentation from this web address:
