Phaser 340 Color Printer
Printing from a PC: DOS
1.
In your application software, set up the printing options for a
color printer driver and a communications port. For more
information on making these selections, refer to your application
software’s user manual.
2.
Make sure that the PC communication ports have been set up
correctly. Refer to “PC: DOS and setting up ports” on page 2-42
for instructions.
3.
Select the printer driver for the Phaser 340, a Tektronix Phaser
printer, or a generic color PostScript driver.
Note
Generic PostScript printer drivers do not have information about
your Phaser 340 printer, for example, its page sizes and its image
area size. Using a standard Letter- or A4-size media selection
should produce acceptable results.
a.
Select the appropriate port (an LPT port for parallel; a COM
port for serial; one of the LPT or COM ports for network
connections).

Set page margins in your application software as needed. For
details on the printer’s paper and margin sizes, refer to
“Margins and image area” on page 3-23.

Send a file to the printer from your software application. Refer to
the application software’s user manual for details.
