Phaser 540 Plus Color Printer

Legal-size printing

The Phaser 540 Plus supports a new paper tray that accommodates legal-size paper. The printable area used by an application is determined by selecting

Legal or Legal Short in the driver (the physical page size is the same for

both; only the print area is different).

Legal Short

■

Prints a full-color image (8.2 x 11.7 in.) on legal-size paper with top and bottom margins of 1.15 in.

Legal

■

Prints a full-color image area the same as

Legal Short , but can also

print monochrome with top and bottom margins of .23 in.

The following table and illustration show the page size, the print area, and the margins for all supported media:

When using the legal-size paper tray, your printer must have the following memory conﬁgurations to print using each print-quality mode:

Print-quality mode Memory requirements

Fast (printer default) Standard Presentation Enhanced

20 Mbytes 36 Mbytes 36 Mbytes 52 Mbytes (maximum conﬁguration)

The optional legal-size tray can be ordered from your local Tektronix authorized reseller or directly from Tektronix; the order number is 436-0314-00.

The addition of the legal-size paper tray affects references in Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Chapter 5 of the

User Manual Addendum

Phaser 540 Plus Color Printer

Faster throughput

The Phaser 540 Plus incorporates several enhancements that provide faster throughput:

■

Faster recovery from EnergyStar mode (when the printer has been idle for more than one hour) saves nearly two minutes in the time the printer takes to make the ﬁrst print.

■

The printer’s default print-quality mode is now Fast , saving nearly 40 seconds in the time to ﬁrst print when from the computer driver.

■

The Phaser 540 Plus delivers approximately a 20% time savings for Phaser Copystation prints when the printer is conﬁgured with 52 Mbytes of memory. This reduction applies to ﬁrst print; multiple copies always occur at full printer speed.

Fast mode is selected

Phaser 540 Plus Color Printer

Print-quality

Phaser 540 Plus Color Printer

The Phaser 540 Plus incorporates a new print-quality mode for presentations and improved Copystation color matching.

Print-quality modes

■

Presentation mode has been added; it is suitable for creating

presentation materials such as overhead transparencies or presentation handouts with a color sweep in the background. This mode uses a custom halftone that improves color uniformity for shaded area ﬁlls.

■

The printer’s other three modes are Fast , Standard , and Enhanced .

Fast is now the printer’s default print-quality mode (the default

mode can be changed from the printer’s front panel).

These changes affect references in Chapter 3 and Chapter 7 of the

User Manual

Improved Copystation proﬁle

■

The Phaser 540 Plus incorporates a new Copystation proﬁle that provides brighter color and a broader color adjustment range.

Troubleshooting tools

The Test Print and Service Prints, which you access from the printer’s front panel, have been improved for diagnosing print quality.

■

The new Test Print shows a 25% tint of each color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) and covers the full area of the page for quick veriﬁcation of printing characteristics.

■

Service Print 1 provides for better diagnostics if a problem is detected in the Test Print. When you select Service Print 1 in the front panel menu, the printer produces four full pages of 25% tint coverage, one for each color: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.

From the Help Pages menu in the front panel, select Test Print
