[comp.periphs.printers] Tektronix Parallel Interface

kenney@milton.u.washington.edu (Michael Kenney) (12/06/90)

Is anyone out there familiar with the Tektronix Parallel Interface or
know of a easy to find document which describes it.  We have a 4693DX
color printer and we are trying to improve the quality of the hardcopy
that it produces.  Currently we dump our X-window images in TARGA format,
ship the files to the PC (printer is attached to the PC) and print them
using a program called "tektarga".  Tektarga doesnt do a very good job
of color matching - so we'd like to get a hold of the TPI description
(or the source to tektarga) and "roll our own".

Please respond via email.

Thanks in advance.

The very nice user manual for the tek 4693 had a very complete programming
section as I recall.  Have they stopped shipping that section of the
manual ?
