Phaser 220 Drivers and Utilities
From PC utility files
The utility Þles on the Printer Utilities diskette for PC/DOS, all begin and
end with Control-D characters. If your computer is connected to the printer
through a parallel or serial port, you need to leave these characters in the
Þles. However, if your computer is connected to an Ethernet network such
as NetWare or TCP/IP, you should delete the Control-D characters from
each utility Þle you plan to use.
To remove Control-D characters from a utility Þle, open the Þle in a text
editor and delete the characters from the beginning and end of the Þle. You
may want to give this revised Þle a new name. Send the Þle to the printer as
usual, using the DOS COPY command.
From Windows print jobs
Windows automatically puts Control-D characters at the beginning and end
of each print job. If your computer is connected to the printer through a
parallel or serial port, you need to leave these characters in the Þles.
However, if your computer is connected to an Ethernet network such as
NetWare or TCP/IP, you should delete the Control-D characters.
The following procedure removes Control-Ds (Ctrl-D) from the beginning
and end of print jobs created by the Tektronix Windows driver, but only
removes the Þrst Control-D from print jobs created by the Microsoft
Windows driver.
