Printing from a workstation
|
Overview
UNIX workstations
VMS workstations
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.
Note: If you are printing ASCII files directly to the printer, you will
need PCL5 activated on your printer; refer to the Phaser 350 On-line Reference
Guide for instructions.
To use the TekColor color corrections and other printer features, use one of the following methods:
UNIX workstations
For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers the optional PhaserPrint software. PhaserPrint software offers driver-selectable printer options and provides fast, raster file and screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers.
PhaserPrint software is available for these workstations:
PhaserPrint 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 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 Tektronix 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 Tektronix printers.
