Upgrading a Phaser
to a Phaser
This kit contains the components necessary to upgrade a Phaser 200e, 200i or 220e to a Phaser 240 Color
Printer. Generally, this involves replacing the printerÕs old image processor board with a new image
processor board. In the case of the Phaser 200e and 200i, the printerÕs engine control board must also be
replaced with a new engine control board included in this kit. In all cases, the unused or replaced
components must be returned to Tektronix. This upgrade should only be installed by qualiÞed service
personnel.

Static electricity precautions
■
Plug in the ground adapter (003-1501-00) in an AC outlet. Connect the
anti-static mat (006-7056-00) to the adapterÕs groundplug.
■
Put on your anti-static wrist strap and connect it to the anti-static mat.
■
Leave the printer plugged into its power outlet; this preserves a
ground path for static discharges.
■
Touch the printer's bare metal frame often to discharge static
electricity from your body.
■
Handle the circuit board(s) by their edges only.
■
Do not lay the board(s) on a metal surface.
