Introduction

The Tektronix Phaser technology. Solid ink-jet refers to the melting of the solid inks inside the printer which then resolidify quickly as the image is transferred onto paper. The ink hardens so rapidly that it does not have time to bleed into the paper, so the printed colors remain brilliant and well-deﬁned.

The Phaser 340 produces laser-quality color prints on Letter-size and A4-size media. You can use common ofﬁce paper, as well as transparency ﬁlm and peel-off label media. For best print quality, use Tektronix premium transparencies. With a print speed of four pages-per-minute on paper and two pages-per-minute on transparencies, the printer is well suited to workgroup printing environments.

In its standard conﬁguration, the printer provides 300 x 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution color printing, 8 Mbytes of memory and a total of 17 fonts. Features such as 600 x 300 dpi resolution printing, additional memory for performance and extra fonts are also optionally available.

The Phaser 340 with extended features adds higher print resolution and increased print performance, making it The extended features option adds 600 x 300 dpi resolution printing, 24 Mbytes of memory and a total of 69 fonts. Additional memory improves the printer’s performance by ofﬂoading your computer faster, improving processing speeds, allowing job pipelining, and providing storage for more downloadable fonts.

PhaserLink printer control and information access.

provides a breakthrough in printer control and information access. Rather than use vendor-proprietary, printer-speciﬁc, and platform-speciﬁc management utilities, PhaserLink provides this function using HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol, the basis for World Wide Web browsers). This allows you to use a standard web browser to view printer status, control printer conﬁguration, and link to online documentation via the World Wide Web.

Note

Easy to use and maintain.

Phaser 340 is a fast, easy-to-use printer. When the printer is low on ink, you just drop in Tektronix ColorStix™ solid ink sticks and continue printing. Each ColorStix solid ink stick has a unique color and shape to simplify loading. An Energy Star power-saving mode automatically reduces power consumption during idle times.

To use PhaserLink, the printer must be connected to a network running TCP/IP. Refer to

■ Load ink sticks

■ Select a media tray conﬁguration

■ Load the media tray(s)

Note

To ensure proper printer operation, install the printer on a ﬂat surface having no more than 3 degrees of tilt. This is approximately equivalent to lifting one side of the printer up 2 cm (0.75 inches) off of a ﬂat surface.

Quick-Start Installation guide

A Quick-Start Installation guide is included with the printer. You may want to reference the instructions in this guide as you set up the printer.

Installing the optional Lower Paper Tray Assembly

An optional Lower Paper T ray Assembly for paper printing is available as an option (Tektronix order number 4682FTA). With a 500-sheet capacity, the Lower Paper Tray Assembly enables the printer to be used as a high-volume printing solution for networked environments.

Using the optional Lower Paper Tray Assembly, you can conﬁgure the printer for dual-tray printing capability. Two trays are especially useful if you commonly print on several types of media, for example ofﬁce paper in the lower tray and transparencies, letterhead, or label media in the upper tray.

Getting Set Up

Warning

The printer is not permanently attached to the Lower Paper Tray Assembly. When moving the printer, ﬁrst disconnect it from the Lower Paper Tray Assembly and then move each unit separately. Moving the printer incorrectly may cause damage or personal injury.

The printer weighs about 32 kg. (70 lbs.). Do not attempt to lift the printer without the assistance of another person.
