Printing from a Unix or VMS workstation
You send Þles from your workstation to the Phaser 480X as you would to
any PostScript printer (for example, the Apple LaserWriter II NTX).
Workstation users can print from any application that generates PostScript
Level 1 or 2.
For Unix and VMS environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrintª, which
provides fast raster screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers.
PhaserPrint also provides a graphical user interface for push-button control
of Tektronix printer features.
PhaserPrint software is available for these workstations:
Note
Tektronix offers a similar solution for DEC OpenVMS VAX and
DEC OpenVMS AXP.
PhaserPrint works with the workstationÕs native spooling system to print
PostScript Þles and raster Þles in these formats: Sun Raster Format (SRF),
xwd, and SGI RGB.
For VMS environments, Tektronix also offers PhaserSym, a VMS print
symbiont. Refer to Appendix B for ordering information.
For information on printing from workstations and setting up spooling
systems, you can look on the CD-ROM or contact HAL or EuroHAL, the
Tektronix automated fax systems. Refer to ÒUsing the automated fax
systemsÓ on page 6-4 for details on using the HAL and EuroHAL systems.
