Your printer is shipped with a starter ink pack containing one of each color ink stick. Replace ink sticks when prompted by the printer.
Note: To ensure that your printer is always available for use, Tektronix recommends that you immediately order and maintain a stock of each color ink stick. See Printer supplies for ordering information. Maintenance tray and waste liner The maintenance tray is a replaceable tray that is used during the printer's printing and cleaning operations. The blue plastic tray inserted in the maintenance tray is the waste liner, which catches ink purged when the printer runs through its cleaning cycle. Replace the maintenance tray when a message at the printer's front panel indicates the tray is low, after about 12,500 prints. Empty the waste liner when prompted by the printer.
Note: To ensure that your printer is always available for use, Tektronix recommends that you immediately order and maintain a stock of each color ink stick. See Printer supplies for ordering information.
Note: To avoid printing delays, always keep an extra maintenance tray available. See Printer supplies for ordering information. Printer parts Paper tray The standard tray (for either letter- or A4-size media) shipped with the printer accepts up to 200 sheets of common office paper, ranging from 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 32 lb.). You can also load full-sheet peel-off labels or up to 50 sheets of transparencies in the standard paper tray.
Note: To avoid printing delays, always keep an extra maintenance tray available. See Printer supplies for ordering information.
Manual feed slot Use this slot to feed single sheets of paper, nonglossy cover stock - up to 220 g/m2 (80 lb.) - or transparencies.
Transit restraint The transit restraint on the right side of the printer secures the printhead in the printer. You must lock the transit restraint before moving or shipping the printer and unlock the transit restraint before operating the printer.
Back panel The On/Off switch, power plug, and interface ports are on the back of the printer. The Phaser 360 printer has a built-in Ethernet connection, a SCSI port for an external hard drive, a bidirectional parallel port, and an expansion slot to support an optional Tektronix PhaserShare network card.
Options and accessories Transparency tray Save time and effort by ordering a Tektronix transparency tray for transparency printing only. Transparency trays (letter- and A4-size) hold up to 175 sheets (about three boxes). By adding a transparency tray and a Lower Paper Tray Assembly, you can print on paper and transparencies without having to leave your computer to swap trays.
Tektronix transparency media To ensure reliable, high-quality transparency printing, use only Tektronix standard or premium transparencies. Premium-grade transparencies, indicated by a notched corner, provide superior print quality and enhanced ink adhesion.
Lower Paper Tray Assembly With a 625-sheet paper capacity, the Lower Paper Tray Assembly is recommended for high-volume printing needs. Dual-tray printing is especially convenient if you commonly print on different types of media. For example, you can keep plain paper in the lower tray, and transparencies, letterhead, or label media in the upper tray. The optional Lower Paper Tray Assembly can be ordered for either letter- or A4-size paper.
Tektronix external hard disk Add the Tektronix 2.1-Gbyte external hard disk to a Phaser 360 printer to make your printer even more versatile. The following capabilities are added with the installation of the Tektronix external hard drive:
Expanded job accounting. Allows you to keep records on up to 5000 print jobs. You can track usage rates and times, users, paper consumption, duration of print jobs, and other important information.
Font storage. Provides storage for additional downloadable fonts.
