[. . . ] Use the following instructions when printing proofs for these types of print jobs: s Printing proofs with one or more spot colors and black (no process colors) for nal output on a printing press. Printing proofs with spot colors and process colors for nal output on a 5+ color printing press. Printing proofs with spot colors for nal output on your Phaser 380 printer. Refer to the on-line manuals on the printers CD-ROM to print a copy of the printer-specic PANTONE Color chart. Use the individual color reference numbers on the chart to select spot colors within an application. When you print your le, use the None color correction. If you are printing proofs with spot colors and process colors for nal output on a 5+ color printing press: For any color that will be printed as a process color (not a spot color), replace the printers PANTONE process colors with standard PANTONE Colors within the application before separating the le for plates. s s 1. 4. User Manual 4-11 4 Printing: Beyond the Basics PANTONE Colors from swatch books In some applications, you can select PANTONE Colors from a swatch book. These colors can be proofed on your Phaser 380 printer before nal printing on a printing press. Use the following instructions when printing proofs for these types of print jobs: s Printing proofs for nal output on a 4-color printing press (no spot colors). Printing proofs with spot colors and process colors for nal output on a 5+ color printing press. Select PANTONE Colors within an application using the individual color values from a PANTONE Colors swatch book. Print your le to a Phaser 380 printer with the Commercial Press color correction. (The proof colors may not be completely accurate, but the PANTONE Colors will be printed correctly on a printing press. ) When you are satised with the proof, the le can be separated for plates without adjustment to the le. s 1. 2. 3. 4-12 Phaser 380 Color Printer Printing: Beyond the Basics 4 Using the Quick Collate option The Quick Collate option in the supported drivers performs document collation in the printer. This is faster than the collate option that exists in some applications because applications send each page to the printer in sequence, as many times as necessary to provide the requested number of copies. With the Phaser 380 printers Quick Collate option, the job is sent only once, and then multiple collated sets are produced by the printer. Note The Quick Collate feature requires that the printer be congured with the Extended Features option. The printer must also be connected to a 1. 2-Gigabyte external SCSI hard disk before collation is possible. Tektronix offers a SCSI hard disk optimized for use with Tektronix printers; refer to SCSI hard disk on page 8-8 for ordering information.

Complexity of the pages to be collated. According to these factors, the printer collates in sequential sets as many pages as will t in the available disk space. For example, you have a 150-page job and you request 4 copies. Because the print job is very complex, all of its description will not t on the hard disk.
