Xerox Phaser 340 User Guide

The bi-directional utility files are provided for support of operating systems 
and applications, such as Windows 95, that are capable of bi-directional 
status reporting with a printer connected to the parallel port.  This feature 
uses the IEEE specification, and supports the Nibble Mode protocol.  

You do not need a special cable; refer to the Phaser 340 Color Printer User 
Manual for information on ordering the standard parallel cable available 
from Tektronix.    

Install the utility files from either the Phaser 340 CD-ROM or the 
Printer Software for Windows diskette; refer to page 3-35 for 
instructions.

Locate the installed files in the PHSR340 subdirectory inside the 
PHSRTOOL directory on your hard disk and select one of the 
following files.      

■

Use the BIDIR.PS file to enable bi-directional status reporting on a 
parallel port.

■

Use the UNIDIR.PS file to disable bi-directional status reporting.

Use one of the following methods to send the desired file to the 
printer:

■

PC users:  Use the DOS COPY command to send the file to the 
printer; refer to page 3-38 if you need instructions.  (Windows 3.1 
users can also use the Copy command in the  File Manager; see 
page 3-37 if you need instructions.)  

■

Workstation users:  Send the file to the printer as you would any 
PostScript file.
