Registering your printer
By registering your printer with Tektronix, you are validating the product warranty and ensuring that you will be sent information about upgrades, service, and accessories as it becomes available.
Register your printer using one of these methods:
- Remove the plastic bag from the printer.
- Remove any adhesive tape that holds the printer's doors shut.
Note: Save all packing material in case moving or subsequent shipment
is necessary.
Installing the optional Lower Tray Assembly
An optional Lower Tray Assembly is available with the printer; it provides two additional media trays (in addition to the standard media tray and the multi-purpose feeder). Follow these steps to install the Lower Tray Assembly.
Warning:
The printer weighs about 43 kg. (94 lbs.) and the Lower Tray
Assembly weighs about 14 kg (31 lbs.). Observe standard
precautions for lifting heavy objects.
The printer is not permanently attached to the Lower Tray
Assembly. When you move the printer, move the pieces
separately; moving the printer incorrectly may damage it and
may cause personal injury.
- Place the Lower Tray Assembly on a solid table or cart you have selected for your printer.
- Place the printer on top of the Lower Tray Assembly. Always keep the printer upright.
- Make sure that the front and back alignment pins fit in the holes in the base of the printer.
Installing the toner cartridges
Note: The toner cartridges that are shipped with the printer are starter
cartridges. They are installed the same as High-Capacity cartridges;
the only difference is that starter cartridges have less toner.
- Remove each toner cartridge from its packaging.
Note: Instructions for loading each toner cartridge are the same except for the
slot into which you insert each cartridge.
- Remove the shipping cover from each cartridge.
- Open the printer's right side door to install the toner cartridges.
Caution: When installing the cartridges, be careful not to leave the side
door open for an extended time; other components are exposed
to light and can be damaged by light exposure.
- Insert each toner cartridge in the slot labeled for its color.
From top to bottom, the order of the color toner cartridges is Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow.
Preparing the imaging unit
Before operating the printer, you must perform these steps to prepare the imaging unit for printing:
- Open the printer's front door.
- Turn the upper lever 90° clockwise to align the lever's triangle with the triangle on the surface of the imaging unit.
- Close the printer's front door.
Remove the adhesive tape that holds the output tray against the printer; gently lower it to its operating position.
Remove the Phaser 560 Color Laser Printer Quick Reference Guide from the accessories box and insert it into the document holder on the side of the printer. 
The printer is shipped with a paper tray (either A/Letter-size or A4-size) installed.
- Pull the tray out of the printer's right side.
- Remove all the packaging materials from inside the tray; refer to the instruction sheet attached to the tray.
Types and sizes of media trays
The printer uses five unique media trays, as well as the multi-purpose feeder for any media type:
Note: For the best print quality, make sure that you load the correct
media; each tray is designed and labeled for only Paper or
Transparency. Although the printer will still print if you load the
wrong media type in a tray, the print quality will suffer.
If you have the Lower Tray Assembly installed and you wish to use the automatic tray-switching feature (for example, for a large print job), make sure that all trays in the printer at any one time are loaded with the same media type and size.
Multi-Purpose Feeder
For instructions on loading media into and printing from the Multi-Purpose Feeder, refer to Using the Multi-Purpose Feeder.
If you ordered additional media trays, or if you ordered a Lower Tray Assembly (which includes a transparency tray and paper tray), each tray arrives in its own shipping box. Unpack each tray from its box and remove all packaging material from inside the tray(s); refer to the instruction sheet inside each tray.
Follow these steps to load media in any of the trays.
Note: For complete information on loading all types of media in the
trays and the Multi-Purpose Feeder, refer to All about
media.
- If you have not already done so, push down on the media tray's metal plate until it clicks, locking it in place.
Caution: To keep your printer in good working order, always use
clean media.
- Fan the paper or transparencies, but be careful not to leave fingerprints, which can result in a smudged print.
- Place paper or transparencies in the tray under the hooks.
- If loading transparencies, load them so that the notched corner (4) is placed closest to the media level label (5). Refer to Loading transparencies for more details.
- You can load approximately 250 sheets of paper or 100 sheets of transparency film. Use the label on the inside of the tray as a reference for the proper amount of media.
- If you have a single media tray
Slide the paper tray completely into the slot.
If you have a Lower Tray Assembly
Install a media tray into each of the three slots.
Note: A paper tray can be installed in any of the three tray slots
(A, B, and C); however, for best results, the transparency tray
should only be inserted in the upper (A) and middle (B) tray slots.
