If You Can't Make A Print; Printer Not Operating - Tektronix Phaser 540 User Manual

If you can't make a print

Printer not operating

Make sure that you plugged in the printer and turned it on.
Make sure that you connected the interface cable(s) properly.
Verify that your printer is functional by pressing the test print
button on the back panel.
Verify that your computer can communicate with the printer.
Note
When you have checked all possible causes and your printer is
still not operating, you can call for service at 1-800-835-6100 in
the U.S. and Canada, or call your nearest Tektronix reseller.
To verify that your computer can communicate with the printer, use one of
these methods:
If you have a Macintosh
Make sure that you have the correct driver installed and that you
have selected the printer in the Chooser. If the printer's name
does not appear in the Chooser, your LocalTalk or EtherTalk
connection may be faulty. (See also "Printer doesn't appear in the
Chooser (Macintosh)" on page 6-17.)
You can use the Print Window command to send a file to the
printer without using an application. If the communication link
between your computer and the printer is working, the printer
produces a directory listing of the active window on the desktop.
