Phaser 540 Color Printer
Printing from a Unix or VMS workstation
You can print from a workstation through Ethernet, Token Ring, parallel, or
serial interfaces. Workstation users can print from any application that
generates color PostScript.
For Unix and VMS environments, Tektronix offers Phaser Print. Phaser Print
provides fast raster screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers. Phaser
Print also provides a graphical user interface for push-button control of
Tektronix printer features.
Phaser Print software is available for these workstations:
Note
Tektronix offers a similar solution for DEC OpenVMS VAX and
DEC OpenVMS AXP.
Phaser Print works with the workstation’s native spooling system to print
PostScript files and raster files in these formats: Sun Raster Format (SRF),
xwd, and SGI RGB.
If you ordered the TCP/IP Ethernet or Token Ring option for your printer,
you received a demonstration copy of Phaser Print on a compact disk (CD).
If you did not receive a demonstration CD but would like one, or if you
would like to purchase a licensed version of Phaser Print, contact your
dealer, local Tektronix office, or in the United States or Canada, call
1-800-835-6100.
For VMS environments, Tektronix also offers PhaserSym, a VMS print
symbiont. Refer to Appendix B for ordering information.
