software. PhaserPrint software provides fast raster Þle and screen copy
printing to Tektronix color printers. PhaserPrint software also provides

spooling system to print PostScript Þles and raster Þles in the Sun Raster
Format (SRF), xwd, SGI RGB, and other formats.
The printerÕs CD-ROM contains a demonstration copy of the PhaserPrint
software and an on-line instruction guide in the unixdemo subdirectory
