The Phaser Copystation accessory enables your printer to be used as a color copier.

■

TekColor™

Dynamic Correction

TektronixÕ exclusive color-control technology makes it easy to print the colors you want.

■

Easy to connect

Bi-directional parallel port with plug-and-play support; PhaserShareª cards provide optional network interfaces for Ethernet or Token Ring (EtherTalk, TokenTalk, Novell NetWare, and TCP/IP), as well as LocalTalk and serial.

■

PhaserLink™ printer control and information access

PhaserLink software provides a breakthrough in printer control and information access. Rather than use vendor-proprietary, printer-speciÞc, and platform-speciÞc 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 conÞguration, and link to online documentation via the World Wide Web.

Note

■

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