PhaserShare Networking
For UNIX environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrint for UNIX software, which
provides fast raster printing and a graphical user interface with push-button
control of printer features. For more information on PhaserPrint software, see
the PhaserShare Networking Manual on the printer's CD-ROM.
If you want to print using PhaserPrint for UNIX software, you must use
PhaserPrint software to configure your host. Refer to the PhaserPrint for UNIX
user manual or the instructions provided with the PhaserPrint for UNIX
CD-ROM for configuration information. PostScript and PDF versions of the
manual are available from the Tektronix ftp site:
ftp.tek.com/cpid/UNIX/phaserprint2.1/demo/MANUALS
The printer's internal LPR queue uses the BSD protocol; its known queues are
listed in the following table. These are the only remote queue names that the
printer recognizes. If you use another name, the printer automatically defaults
to AUTO.
Queue name Language
PS PostScript
PCL PCL (Printer Control Language)
AUTO Automatic Language Selection (the printer automatically senses
the language of the print job and processes it accordingly)
As you set up a spool queue, you can use the PostScript utility files provided
with your printer's software to control printer features (for example, selecting
upper or lower paper trays, or selecting print quality modes). See your printer's
user documentation for more information on these utility files.
These files allow you to access printer features from the UNIX command line by
using the -o printing option. On the printer's CD-ROM, the file model.tar
contains the installer for the model files and model files for Sun Solaris,
Hewlett-Packard, and IBM AIX workstations.
