Installing The Printer's Software - Tektronix Phaser 600 Service Manual

Installing the printer's software

PC software
Packaged with your printer are the Phaser 600 compact disk (CD-ROM) for
platforms with a CD-ROM drive or, if your computer does not have a CD-ROM
drive, the diskettes for PC and Macintosh computers. The CD-ROM and
diskettes contain software and utility files that work with a printer driver to let
you select and control printer features.
Installing printer description files
PostScript printer description files (PPDs) are used by some drivers and
applications for gaining information about a printer's page sizes, color
corrections, and other options. To properly use the printer with one of the
following applications, install the appropriate file.
QuarkXPress
The Quark XPress application uses a unique PDF file.
1. Locate the TKPH6001.PDF:
On the printer's CD-ROM in the QUARK directory.
On the Printer Software for Windows diskette in the QUARK directory.
2. Copy the TKPH6001.PDF file to the PDF subdirectory of the Quark
application on your hard disk. For example:
COPY TKPH6001.PDF C:\XPRESS33\PDF
Aldus and Adobe applications
Aldus and Adobe applications, such as PageMaker and FreeHand, use
PostScript printer description (PPD) files. Refer to your applications'
documentation for details on using PPD files.
Note
To add PPDs for printers other than the Phaser 600 printer, open the
WIN95_NT directory on the printer's CD-ROM.
1. Locate the printer's PPD files:
On the printer's CD-ROM in the WIN95_NT directory.
