Extended Features upgrade
In its standard configuration, the Phaser 600 printer offers 8 (or 24 or 40) Mbytes of RAM memory, 17 fonts, support for PhaserMatch custom color-matching profiler, and PhaserLink software, Xerox' online control of printer features and access to printer information through a standard web browser. The Extended Features upgrade is especially suited for workgroups, enhancing the printer's performance in the following ways:
- Z600FX Adds 22 Roman fonts for a total of 39 fonts.
Z600FJ Adds 2 Kanji fonts for a total of 17 Roman, 2 Kanji fonts.
- Provides the Reprint feature that allows you to reprint a previously printed image at a different scale and copy count.
- Provides the Print Preview feature that lets you preview an image by printing it at a reduced scale, which takes less time and media than printing a full-scale image.
- Adds support for the Phaser Copystation.
Note: If you are not sure which printer configuration you have, press and hold down the
button on the printer's front panel. Printer information appears on the lower line of
the display.
To order the Extended Features upgrade for a Phaser 600 printer, use Xerox order number Z600FX (Roman fonts) or Z600FJ (Kanji fonts).
Memory upgrade
The Phaser 600 printer has 8 Mbytes of standard memory. You can upgrade the printer's memory with either a 16 Mbyte-SIMM or a 32 Mbyte-SIMM (for a total of 24 Mbytes or 40 Mbytes, respectively).
Note: If you are not sure how much memory your printer has, press and hold down the
button on the printer's front panel. Printer information appears on the lower line of
the display.
Advantages of adding memory
In general, more memory improves throughput, reduces the level of compression, provides more storage for downloadable fonts, and allows printing of the most complex images. Additional memory can also reduce offload time by increasing the size of input buffers for the I/O ports.

Benefits of networking the printer
Adding a PhaserShare network card to your printer makes it an efficient, sharable printing resource in network environments. Network connections, such as Ethernet, offer significant speed improvements compared to the standard parallel communication connection. Several varieties of PhaserShare cards allow the printer to be seamlessly integrated into popular network configurations. All ports and protocols are simultaneously active, allowing the printer to be used in mixed environments.
Phaser Copystation
The Phaser Copystation adds easy-to-use, walk-up color copying capability to the Phaser 600 Color Printer. Especially useful is the ability to scan a small (for example, A-size) image and print the image with the Scale to Fit function on the printer. Scale to Fit automatically scales an image to fit the media installed or selected as the default.
For more information, refer to Phaser Copystation. For detailed instructions on connecting and operating the Phaser Copystation, refer to the Phaser CopyStation User Manual.
Note: To order a Phaser Copystation, use Xerox order number 4540.
PhaserPrint
For printing in UNIX environments, Xerox offers PhaserPrint software. PhaserPrint software provides fast raster file and screen copy printing to Xerox color printers. PhaserPrint software also provides a graphical user interface for push-button control of Xerox printer features. PhaserPrint software works with the workstation's native spooling system to print PostScript files and raster files in the Sun Raster Format (SRF), xwd, SGI RGB, and other formats.
The printer's CD-ROM contains a demonstration copy of the PhaserPrint software and an on-line instruction guide in the phaserpr.unx directory. Refer to Printing from a workstation for more information.
Note: To order PhaserPrint software, use Xerox order number 4690F20.
PhaserSym
For printing in VMS environments, Xerox offers PhaserSym. PhaserSym is a VMS print symbiont for DEC OpenVMS VAX, and DEC OpenVMS AXP machines. PhaserSym facilitates communication between VMS hosts and Xerox Phaser printers. PhaserSym requires that the Phaser printer include Ethernet support.
Note: To order PhaserSym, use Xerox order number 4690F41.
SCSI hard disk
The printer is equipped with an internal 1 Gbyte SCSI hard disk. You can also attach a Xerox-approved external SCSI hard disk (order number Z350DSK) to the printer's SCSI port. You can connect one or more external SCSI hard disks to the printer for additional font storage. Contact Technical Support for recommended SCSI disk drives.
