Using Printer Utilities
In addition to using the printer’s front panel or the options in a supported driver, the
printer’s utility files offer another method for changing the way the printer operates.
In some cases, a selection can only be made with a utility file.
Utility files control print features such as color correction and enabling or disabling
the Startup Page. However, printer features that are selected from a driver override
utility file settings and front panel settings.
There are three ways to install utility files:
■ From the printer’s CD-ROM
■ From Tektronix’ ftp site
■ From Tektronix’ World Wide Web site
Using the files on the printer’s CD-ROM
Downloading files from a Macintosh
Using the Apple Printer Utility to download files
All PostScript utility files and fonts on the printer’s CD-ROM can be downloaded to
the printer with the Apple Printer Utility.
