Phaser 350 Color Printer
Improving print speed
Note
There are different ways to improve print speed, such as by
upgrading to Ethernet. For more information, request a
document catalog from HAL or EuroHAL, the Tektronix
automated fax systems. Refer to “Using the automated fax
systems” on page 6-2 for instructions.
If you tried to print a document with scanned images, but are dissatisfied
with the speed of the output, here are some suggestions.
All users
■ When you use any color correction option (other than None), your
printer can take longer to process bitmapped images. Select color
corrections from the supported drivers, with downloadable utility
files, or from the printer’s front panel; see “Color correction
descriptions” on page 4-6 for more information.
■ The Fast Color print quality mode is the fastest print-quality
mode, followed by the Standard print-quality mode and the
Enhanced (600 x 300) mode (available with the printer’s Extended
Features option). Select print quality modes from the supported
drivers, with downloadable utility files, or from the printer’s front
panel; see “Print quality modes” on page 3-27 for more
information.
Macintosh users
■ If you are using Adobe Photoshop, you can print using the
Tektronix PhaserPrint software plug-in to improve the image data
transfer time from your Macintosh to the printer. See the on-line
manual on the printer’s CD-ROM for instructions on installing
and using the plug-in.
