Updating The Standard Microsoft Windows Postscript Driver - Tektronix Phaser 550 Service Manual

Updating the standard Microsoft Windows PostScript driver

This option affects the print time of bitmapped (raster) images by
improving the image transfer time from the computer to the printer,
and by improving the image processing time in the printer. This
option is only available to applications that use this Tektronix driver
with Tektronix PostScript Level 2 printers, such as the Phaser 550.

unavailable (grayed-out). Choose the OK button to return to the
Options dialog box.

If a customer prefers to use the standard Microsoft Windows PostScript printer
driver instead of the Tektronix driver for Windows, follow these instructions.
This update procedure provides printer page size information for applications
within Windows using the standard driver. However, color adjustments and
other PostScript Level 2 features are available only with the Tektronix Windows
3.1 driver and are not supported by the standard driver.
These instructions assume a basic familiarity with Windows operation and
terminology. For additional information about Windows, refer to your Microsoft
Windows documentation.
