Note Driver-selectable TekColor color correction features are available
only through the Tektronix drivers for the Macintosh and PC
with Windows as described in this manual. To obtain Tekcolor
corrections with another driver you must use the printerÕs
switches or downloadable utility Þles. See Chapter 6, ÒSelecting
Color CorrectionsÓ for more information.
Many DOS applications include printer drivers for Tektronix printers.
Check the application you are using for a printer driver for a Phaser 220.
Install and use the driver according to the applicationsÕ documentation.
Then refer to Chapter 6, ÒSelecting Color Corrections,Ó to use the printerÕs
switches and downloadable utility Þles to obtain TekColor corrections on
your prints.

support. Drivers for these popular DOS software packages are available

If the application you are using does not have a driver for your Tektronix
printer, you can use a generic PostScript printer driver. However, these
drivers do not have information on the printerÕs page sizes and image areas,
and images may be clipped or shifted when printed.
If your application does not have a driver for use with your printer, contact
the application vendor to see if an update is available.
Refer to the printerÕs user manual for information on using the DOS MODE
command to disable timeouts on a parallel port and set communications
