Phaser 540 Drivers and Utilities
Enabling and disabling bi-directional status reporting     
These utility files are provided for support of future operating systems and 
applications 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 540 Color Printer User 
Manual 
for information on ordering the standard parallel cable available 
from Tektronix.    
Note
Windows 3.0 and 3.1 do not support bi-directional status 
reporting.
The printer is shipped with the uni-directional mode enabled.
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.
1.
Locate the BIDIR.PS file and the  UNIDIR.PS file in the PHSR540 
directory on the Tektronix Windows 3.1 Driver and Printer 
Utilities diskette.  
2.
Copy the files to your hard disk, or use the files from the diskette.
3.
Use one of the following methods to send the desired file to the 
printer:
PC users:  Use the DOS COPY command, or the Copy command in 
the Windows File Manager, to send the file to the printer.  See page 
3-20 for instr
uctions.  
Workstation users:  Send the file to the printer as you would any 
PostScript file.
