Extra Tips for UNIX Users
PostScript Applications
The Adobe PostScript drivers supplied with this printer are for Macintosh and
Microsoft Windows applications only, and not for UNIX applications. Most UNIX
applications that output PostScript files include their own embedded PostScript
driver. If you have any queries about whether your application supports this
printer, or have any output problems that may be linked to a UNIX PostScript
driver, first check your software documentation and, if necessary, contact your
software vendor for advice.
Which Interface?
You can connect the printer to your workstation in one of two ways:
Via the UNIX print-spooling system, using any of the interfaces: network,
parallel or serial
Directly using the serial interface
Recommendations The print-spooling system is recommended, so that printing takes place in the
background while you continue using your application. A network interface is also
recommended, as it will give you not only more flexibility in locating the printer,
but also the possibility of network integration and centralized printer
configurations using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer
Protocol).
If you choose the parallel interface, you may need a parallel-interface card for
your workstation. Contact your workstation supplier for details.
