Using the Adobe PostScript driver for Windows 3.1

To select printing options, follow these steps:

1.

From the

Control Panel

, double-click the

Printers

icon.

2.

In the

Printers

dialog box, choose the

Tektronix Phaser 560

printer, then click

Setup

. A dialog box

appears with the printer’s name across the top.

3.

Click the following tabs to see printing options; refer to your Windows documentation for more
information on tabs and options.

. Refer to “Setting the timeouts” on page 4-11 for instructions.

PostScript

For PostScript-related options

■

In the

Performance Options

field, select the

option.

■

Under

PostScript Timeout

values, leave

Job Timeout

set to

0

. Leave the

WaitTimeout

set to the

default,

240

(4 minutes). Setting it higher ensures that you will not lose a multi-page job due to a

timeout after the

alert message is displayed.

Job Control

For print job-related options

Note

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:

■

Download Each Job

This option downloads PostScript header information with each print job.

■

Already Downloaded

This saves the PostScript header information in the printer. After selecting this button, select
the

Download

button. This option makes print files a little smaller and faster than the first

option, but you need to click the

Download

button every time the printer is turned off or reset.

■

For better performance, select the

Binary Mode

option.
