7. In the Install New Printer Driver dialog box, type B: and insert the
Printer Diskette #1 in drive B. Click on Refresh. The system searches
the diskette for driver groups and prompts you to stop the search or
continue. When the PostScript driver (PSCRPT.DRV) appears, stop
the search.
8.
At this point, a list of possible PostScript printers are displayed for
your selection. Using the scroll bars, move down through the
alphabetical listing until you find the selection PSCRIPT.Tektronix
Phaser 340. Click on the correct printer name and then click on
Install. The system will install your printer driver. Click OK.
9. Close the Install New Printer Driver dialog box. Before leaving the
Create a Printer dialog box, adjust the printer port time-out setting.
Double-click on the port you have selected, in this example, LPT2.
Change the time-out to 180 seconds. Then click OK.
10. To create the new printer object on the desktop, click on Create. A
new printer driver object is placed on your desktop. Confirm and
adjust the settings for this printer driver by launching an application
program and performing the following steps.
a.
Bring up the Settings Notebook by clicking the right mouse
button on LPT2 PRINTER. Click on the arrow to the right of
OPEN; click on SETTINGS.
b. Select the Printer Driver Tab. Confirm that the Tektronix
Phaser 340 is selected (highlighted). Double-click on the
Phaser 340 driver to configure the Printer Properties; this is where
you can define printer paper sizes and orientation. These settings
can be adjusted from within software applications as well. To get
started, set Forms to Legal-size paper; this is the recommended
setting. Next, select Device Defaults, set Form to Legal and set
Orientation to Landscape. One of the most likely causes of
printer errors is that the document and device defaults do not
match.
c. Select Options and make sure that it is set to Phaser 340; if not,
repeat the previous steps. While in this screen, set Job and Wait
to 0, if they aren't already. Select the Output Tab; ensure that the
proper port is selected.
d.
Select the Queue Options Tab. Activate a check for both Printer
Specific Format and Job Dialog Before Print. Return to the
Settings Notebook dialog box and close it.
e. If LPT2 PRINTER is not the only printer object on the desktop,
then you may want to make it the default printer before opening a
software application. To make a default printer, point the cursor
to the LPT2 PRINTER object, click the right mouse button, click
on Set Default, and select LPT2 PRINTER.
