The printer's CD-ROM contains a demonstration copy of PhaserPrint for UNIX software and an on-line instruction guide in the unix/unixdemo directory. If you would like to purchase a licensed version of PhaserPrint software, contact your dealer or local Tektronix office. For ordering information, refer to Additional software (UNIX and VMS).

OpenVMS workstations

To print from OpenVMS 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 OpenVMS version 5.0 and later. PhaserSym software communicates over the printer's TCP/IP Ethernet interface. For ordering information, refer to Additional software (UNIX and VMS).
