13. Choose the Close button.
If a customer prefers to use the standard Microsoft Windows PostScript printer
driver instead of the Tektronix driver for Windows, follow these instructions.
This update procedure provides printer page size information for applications
within Windows using the standard driver. However, color adjustments and
other PostScript Level 2 features are available only with the Tektronix Windows
3.1 driver and are not supported by the standard driver.
These instructions assume a basic familiarity with Windows operation and
terminology. For additional information about Windows, refer to your Microsoft
Windows documentation.
Update procedure
1. Start Windows.
2. Open the Control Panel.
3.
Double–click on the Printers icon.
4. Choose the Add>> button; a list of printers is displayed.
Highlight the Tektronix printer you want to use.
5. Select Install Unlisted or Updated Printer.
6. Choose the Install button.
Note Printers using the Tektronix driver for Windows have (TekColor)
listed in their name. Printers without this designation are using the
standard Microsoft Windows PostScript driver and the WPD file.
7.
When prompted, insert the Tektronix–provided Windows 3.1 Printer
Driver diskette into your computer's disk drive. Choose your printer
without (TekColor) after the name, then click the OK button. When
asked to insert a diskette with the updated PSCRIPT.DRV file, enter
system as the location so that the current PSCRIPT.DRV file is used.
Under OS/2 Version 2.0 printing is managed through printer object icons.
Object icons represent a printer setup, and are associated with a port, a driver,
and a queue, if appropriate. These object icons replace the earlier Print Manager
functions. Normally, a printer object icon is installed during the initial OS/2 2.0
installation. A single printer object on the desktop may represent more than one
printer. A printer object on the desktop is a "generic" object that can be
configured to point to any printer by changing settings in the settings notebook
for this object. You may not have more than one printer object pointing to the
same I/O Port. Port designations for each printer object must be unique. Before
new printers are installed, existing printer object assignments must be changed.
