Installing the Printer and Drivers
7.
In the Install New Printer Driver dialogue box, set the directory to A:
and insert the Printer Diskette #1 in drive A:. 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 480
. 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 dialogue box. Before leaving the
Create a Printer
dialogue 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
480 is selected (highlighted). Double-click on the Phaser 480
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 properly match.
c.
Select Options and make sure that it is properly set to Phaser 480.
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 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 do so, point the cursor to the LPT2
PRINTER
object, click the right mouse button, click on Set
Default
, and select LPT2 PRINTER.
