Tektronix supplies and drivers
Always use Tektronix supplies to ensure the highest quality prints and
printer performance. Tektronix print drivers provide the best access to
printer features. See Chapter 5 for order information.
Getting the largest printed picture
To get the largest printed picture, keep in mind the following:
■
The area of media that the Phaser 540 prints on is smaller than the
size of the paper or transparency (refer to “Margins and print
area” on page 3-15 for more details). You may have to adjust the
margins in your application software.
Relative port speed
Ethernet and Token Ring are the fastest ports, followed by the parallel port,
the LocalTalk port, then the serial port.
