Upgrade Kit Z340FX

This kit provides the 16-Mbyte RAM SIMM and print engine ROM necessary to provide additional on-board fonts and imaging capabilities to a Phaser 340 Color Printer. This kit also includes diskettes containing PostScript screen fonts; these allow you to use the additional on-board fonts available in the Phaser 340 Plus. The PostScript Code ROM SIMM and engine ROM replaced by this upgrade kit must be returned to Tektronix; otherwise, you will be invoiced for the unreturned ROM SIMM. Instructions for returning the ROM SIMM are provided at the end of this instruction sheet.

Printer serial-numbered up to and including BBxxxxx require Z340FX Option 01 which includes a PostScript ROM SIMM upgrade. Printers serial-numbered BCxxxx and above require the Z340FX Option 02 Upgrade Kit. Make sure you have the correct kit by checking your printer’s serial number and the labeling on this kit’s box.

Important! About the printer’s IP address (Z340FX Option 1 only)

Upgrading the printer’s PostScript ROM will erase the printer’s IP address from the printer’s non-volatile memory. Therefore you should print the printer’s conﬁguration page, which lists the printer’s IP address, before upgrading the printer.

While the printer is idle, press the Menu button to display the Help

menu item.

Note the IP address on the print and save the print for later reference.

Static electricity precautions

■

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.

■

Make the least possible movements to avoid generating static electricity.

■

Avoid wearing wool, nylon or polyester clothing; they generate static electricity.

Upgrading the printer

Removing the main board

Caution

Do not tilt the printer. If you must move the printer to access the

rear of the printer to install the upgrade, be careful not to tip or tilt the printer. Hot, liquid ink in the printer could spill and damage the printer. Once the printer is turned off, it takes 30 minutes for the ink to cool to its solid state. Wait and allow the ink to cool.

Power down the printer. Leave the power cord plugged in to provide a ground path for static discharges. Remove the interface cables.

Loosen the two rear panel securing screws.
