Installing the Printer and Drivers
2-22 Phaser 440 Color Printer
Other communications ports may include EPT: (an interface for the
IBM Page-Printer, which requires the installation of a special card in
your computer), and LPT1.OS2 and LPT2.OS2, which Windows may
require if you are using certain spoolers or other add-on software
programs. The port FILE: lets you write a PostScript document to a
file instead of to the printer. For more information about
communication ports, refer to your Windows documentation.
6. Set the Timeouts. These options regulate your computer's
communications with its printer ports.
Device Not Selected: (For parallel/LPT ports only.) Type a value of 0,
or a value between 15 and 999, in this text box to change the number of
seconds Windows waits before notifying you that a printer is off-line.
The default is 15 seconds.
Transmission Retry: Type a value between 45 and 850 in this text box
to change the number of seconds Windows waits after a print job has
begun sending characters to the printer, before sending an Alert
message that the printer is no longer accepting data. The default
setting is 45 seconds. When using the Print Manager with a shared
printer, you should set this option to a larger value, such as 600 (10
minutes) to avoid the Alert message when printing multiple-page
documents.
7. Choose the OK button to return to the Printers dialog box, then
choose the Setup button. A dialog box appears with the name of the
printer you selected across the top. Use this dialog box to select paper
source, paper size, and image orientation.
8.
Choose the Options button to see the Options dialog box. Make sure
that the Color box is checked to print in color.
9. From the Options dialog box, choose the Advanced button to see the
Advanced Options dialog box. Make sure that the Use PostScript
Level 2 Features check box is checked on.
This option affects the print time of bitmapped (raster) images by
improving the image transfer time from the computer to the printer,
and by improving the image processing time in the printer. This
option is only available to applications that use this Tektronix driver
with Tektronix PostScript Level 2 printers. When this box is checked,
the Compress Bitmaps option is unavailable (grayed out). Choose the
OK button to return to the Options dialog box.
10. In the Options dialog box, choose the Printer Features button to see
the Tektronix Printer Features dialog box. Make color correction and
media type selections as desired. Choose the OK button to return to
the Options dialog box.
11. Choose the OK button to return to the dialog box that lists your
printer's name across the top.
