Note:If you are going to be using PhaserMatch software, install and use the AdobePS 4 driver described on "Using the Adobe driver for Windows 95".

To print from Windows 95, you can use either of the supported drivers available on the printer's CD-ROM and diskettes:

• AdobePS 4 Driver: Use this driver if you are also using the PhaserMatch software available on the CD-ROM for the printer's extended features option; see "Using the Adobe driver for Windows 95" for instructions.
• Microsoft PostScript Driver for Windows 95: Update your existing Microsoft driver for the Phaser 300X printer if you prefer using the standard Microsoft driver; see "Using the Microsoft driver for Windows 95" for instructions.

1. Insert the printer's CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click the Start icon in the taskbar on your screen. In the menu that appears, click Run.
3. In the Run window, type in the drive the CD-ROM is in, followed by the ADOBEPS4 directory and the file name SETUP.EXE and click OK. For example:
   C:ADOBEPS4SETUP

   When the AdobePS4 PostScript Printer Driver Setup dialog box appears, click the Read button if you wish to see a text file with driver instructions. Click Next to continue, or Exit to quit.

   In the Install Setup Program dialog box, decide if you want to copy the Adobe driver setup program to your hard disk, then click Next.
   
   If you selected Yes, continue with the on-screen instructions.

   In the Printer Type dialog box, select your printer's connection:

   • Select Local Printer if your printer is connected directly to your computer, then click Next.
   • Select Network Printer if you are accessing your printer through a network. Click Browse to search the network and select a printer queue. Then click Next.

   In the Install PostScript Printer from PPD dialog box, select the directory and drive for the printer's CD-ROM and the ADOBEPS4 directory. Select your printer, then click Next.

   • Select Tektronix Phaser 300X if you have the standard version of the printer.
   • Select Tektronix Phaser 300X Extended if you have the printer's Extended Features option.

   Note:If you are not sure which configuration of the printer you have, the printer's startup page lists this information under Extended Features: Yes/No. See "Printing a startup page" for instructions on printing a copy of the printer's startup page.

   In the Local Port Selection dialog box, select the port you want to use, then click Next. (You can configure the port in this dialog box at any time.)

   In the Add Printer dialog box, type in the printer's name, select the printer as default, and decide if you want to print a test page. Click Next to continue.

   If you see the Different Versions Detected dialog box, click Next to update the files from the printer's CD-ROM.

   When the installation is finished, the Tektronix Phaser 300X Properties dialog box appears. Make selections in the driver, referring to "Using the AdobePS 4 Driver for Windows 95" for more information on printer options.

Refer to the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver User Guide on the printer's CD-ROM (USRGUIDE.PDF) for more detailed information on the AdobePS 4 driver.

Note:Refer to the table on "Using printer drivers" for details on print options.

1. In the Printers window, click the Phaser 300X printer icon with the right mouse button, then select Properties from the menu.
2. Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your Windows 95 documentation for more information on tabs and options.

• Click the Details tab to see timeout and other options.
  • Set the Timeout settings.

  Not Selected: Type a value of 0, or between 15 and 999, in this text box to change the number of seconds Windows waits before notifying you that a printer is off-line. The default is 15 seconds.

  Transmission Retry: On large or multiple-page documents you may see an Alert message that the printer is no longer accepting data before the job is completely sent to the printer. When using a shared printer, you should set this option to a larger value, such as 900 seconds (15 minutes) to avoid these unnecessary timeouts. Type a value between 45 and 999 in this text box; the default setting is 45 seconds.

• Click the Paper tab to see media options, such as media sizes.

• Click the Graphics tab to see graphics options.

Note:If you are using host color correction, you need to make selections in the Graphics and Device Options tabs. Refer to "Using host color correction" for more information on host color correction.

• Click the PostScript tab to see PostScript-related options.
  • The PostScript header contains important PostScript information that must accompany each print job; it is not a banner page printed with each job. If an option is not selected, an error message is displayed on your computer screen and your job does not print. Click one of the following in the PostScript header field:

  Select Download header with each print job. This option downloads PostScript header information with each print job.

  Click the Send Header Now button to save the PostScript header information in the printer, then select the Assume header is downloaded and retained option. This option makes print files a little smaller and faster than the first option, but you need to click the Send Header Now button every time the printer is turned off or reset.

  • Click the Advanced button to see more options. Select Use PostScript Level 2 features. Click OK when finished.

  For faster printing, select Binary communications protocol under Data format.
