Methods of selection

This printer provides several ways to select print features:

    Use these selections to override the settings on the printer's front panel.

  • From the printer's front panel
    Use these settings only when printing from a non-supported driver.

  • Using PhaserLink software
    If your network is running TCP/IP and you have a World Wide Web browser, you can use this browser to view printer status and select printer features. Refer to the PhaserShare Status Software User Manual for complete information.

  • Sending a PostScript utility file to the printer
    Use these settings only when printing from a non-supported driver. You can find detailed information in Using Printer Utilities and the Phaser 600 printer's web page:

Print quality modes

Using the front panel, the printer drivers provided with your printer, or PhaserLink software, you can select from these print quality modes:

Standard The default print-quality setting for full-color, full-coverage printing on paper produces the fastest full-color printing on paper: printing time is 12 minutes per page for ANSI E-size (34 x 44 in.), and its Metric equivalent.

Enhanced Printing time is 24 minutes per page for ANSI E-size (34 x 44 in. and its Metric equivalent) in full-color, full-coverage; provides smoother images with less banding.

Color corrections

The printer provides TekColor Dynamic Correction software, which consists of the following color correction modes. Refer to Color corrections - making the best selection for details.

Use Printer Setting

Uses the color correction mode specified in the printer's front panel setting rather than any printer driver setting.

The press color corrections (SWOP, Euroscale, Commercial, and SNAP) can be customized with the PhaserMatch software that is included with the printer. For an overview of the PhaserMatch software, refer to PhaserMatch. For detailed information and instructions, refer to the PhaserMatch User Manual that was shipped with the printer.

You can view an approximate sample output of some color corrections at the bottom of the printer's startup page. Refer to Printing the startup page for more information.


Note: If your printer is networked and you have changed the front panel settings, make sure that you tell other users on the network. Printer settings affect all prints made with non-supported drivers.
