Phaser 220 Drivers and Utilities
The error handling utility is useful for diagnosing problems when a job
doesnÕt print. This utility installs a PostScript error-handling function in the
printer to help determine the cause of some PostScript printing problems.
PostScript errors are printed on a page with other status information when
an error occurs. This utility can also be used by programmers for debugging
PostScript code.
Macintosh users
1. The Tek Error Handler Þle is compressed into the Phaser 220
Utilities.sea archive Þle on the Macintosh Printer Utilities diskette,
and must be decompressed before you can use it. To decompress
this Þle, follow the steps listed under the topic ÒDecompressing
the Macintosh utility ÞlesÓ in Chapter 1, ÒBefore You Begin.Ó After
decompressing the Þles, continue with the following steps.
2.
Select the appropriate printer in the Chooser.
3. Locate the Tek Error Handler Þle in the folder on your hard disk
containing decompressed utility Þles.
4. Double-click the ÞleÕs self-sending arrow icon. Click OK in the
dialog box to send the Þle to the printer.
PC and workstation users
1.
Locate the TEKEHAND.PS Þle in the PHSR220 directory on the
Printer Utilities diskette.
2.
Copy the Þle to your hard disk, or use it from the diskette.

PC users: Use the DOS COPY command to send the Þle to
the printer. For example, if you want to send the Þle to the parallel
port, type the following at the DOS prompt:
COPY Þlename LPT1:
(or COM1: if you want to send the Þle to the serial port).
Workstation users: ConÞgure the printer port to receive
PostScript, then send the Þle to the printer.
