Note: If you are not sure which printer configuration you have, print the startup page from the Help Pages menu in the front panel; look for the entry for Extended Features (Yes or No).
Memory upgrade The Phaser 560 printer has 8 Mbytes of standard memory. You can upgrade the printer's memory with one or two 16- and 32-Mbyte SIMMs (for a total of 24, 40, 56, or 72 Mbytes).
Note: If you are not sure which printer configuration or how much memory is installed in your printer, print the startup page from the Help Pages menu in the front panel; look for the entry for RAM Memory. 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.
Note: If you are not sure which printer configuration or how much memory is installed in your printer, print the startup page from the Help Pages menu in the front panel; look for the entry for RAM Memory.
Specifically, more memory provides support for Legal-size printing and the Phaser Copystation.
Minimum requirement for Premium mode printing (with Extended Features); full-size print area on Legal-size media; Letter-size copies on the Phaser Copystation.
(Included with the FX option)
Minimum requirement for Legal-size copies on the Phaser Copystation.
PhaserShare network cards Tektronix PhaserShare network cards offer high-performance network connectivity for your color printer. PhaserShare network cards can be easily installed in your printer.
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 accessory The Phaser Copystation accessory adds easy-to-use, walk-up color copying capability to the Phaser 560 Color Laser Printer.
The Copystation's front-panel controls let you specify the number of copies and select among color, gray scale and black-and-white copying modes. You can choose to make copies reduced to 25% or enlarged to 200% of the original's size, and you can adjust copies for color balance and lightness.
To use a Phaser Copystation with the Phaser 560 printer, your printer requires the following memory upgrades:
32-Mbyte SIMM (total 40 Mbytes) Legal-size copies
Note: To order a Phaser Copystation, use Tektronix order number 4540.
Lower Tray Assembly The Lower Tray Assembly adds two more media trays to your printer, each tray with a 250-sheet capacity. This transforms the printer into a high-volume printing solution for networked environments. Multiple-tray printing capability is especially useful if you commonly print on both paper and transparency or Letter- and Legal-sized media. For ordering information, refer to "Supplies and accessories" on page 9-2.
PhaserPrint for UNIX For printing in UNIX environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrint for UNIX software which provides fast raster file and screen copy printing to Tektronix color printers. PhaserPrint for UNIX software also provides a graphical user interface for push-button control of Tektronix printer features. PhaserPrint for UNIX software works with the workstation's native spooling system to print PostScript files and convert raster files to PostScript from the Sun Raster Format (SRF), xwd, SGI RGB, and other formats.
The printer's CD-ROM contains a demonstration copy of the PhaserPrint for UNIX software and an on-line instruction guide in the phaserpr.unx directory. Refer to "Printing from a workstation" on page 4-22 for more information.
Note: To order PhaserPrint for UNIX software, use Tektronix order number 4690F20. PhaserSym For printing in VMS environments, Tektronix offers PhaserSym. PhaserSym is a VMS print symbiont for DEC OpenVMS VAX, and DEC OpenVMS AXP machines. PhaserSym facilitates communication between VMS hosts and Tektronix Phaser printers. PhaserSym requires that the Phaser printer include Ethernet support.
Note: To order PhaserPrint for UNIX software, use Tektronix order number 4690F20.
Note: To order PhaserSym, use Tektronix order number 4690F41. SCSI hard disk You can attach a Tektronix-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.
Note: To order PhaserSym, use Tektronix order number 4690F41.
