Note to Phaser CopyStation owners
This Phaser CopyStation User Manual Release Note applies to Chapter 2 of the
user manual — entitled “Setting Up” — and gives additional information
about the CopyStation’s power-up sequence.
Setting Up
What happens at power-up?
Note
After you turn its power switch on, the Phaser CopyStation
performs this power-up sequence:
■
It checks for devices in the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)
chain, such as a hard disk drive and a printer.
■
A CopyStation front panel message appears (most often, the message is
Printer is idle ).
■
The copier mechanism light, located under the glass scanning area,
turns on and remains on for about 20 minutes.
You may make copies
while the light is off or on.

Introduction
About the Phaser
™
CopyStation
The Phaser CopyStation is an accessory that adds easy-to-use, walk-up color
copying capability to compatible Tektronix Phaser™ color printers.
The CopyStation’s front-panel controls let you specify the number of copies
and select among color, gray scale and black-and-white copying modes.
You can choose to make copies reduced to 25% or enlarged to 200% of the
original’s size, and you can adjust copies for color balance and lightness.

Placing the CopyStation
1.
Place the CopyStation near the printer, allowing adequate
ventilation and clearance:
a.
Provide a minimum of 8 cm (3 inches) of space at the
CopyStation’s left and right sides and at the front and rear.
This will allow for proper ventilation and adequate cabling
access. (Leave an extra 6 inches at the back of the CopyStation
for cable-connection and address-setting procedures.)
b.
Allow at least 42 cm (17 inches) of clearance space above the
CopyStation’s document cover. This will allow it to remain in
its raised position without assistance.
2.
Slide the Phaser™ CopyStation Quick Reference card under the
CopyStation (it is designed to rest between the CopyStation’s feet).
3.
If you will be connecting a disk drive to the printer, allow
adequate room for it also. Refer to the disk drive manufacturer’s
instructions for placement and clearance recommendations.

Connecting the SCSI cable
The method you use for connecting the CopyStation depends on whether
you also wish to have a disk drive connected to your printer.
Connecting the CopyStation directly to the printer (with no disk drive)
Caution
To avoid damage to the CopyStation and the printer, make sure
that their power is switched
off during this procedure.
1.
Connect the CopyStation’s SCSI cable to the printer’s SCSI port.
Press the plug firmly onto the printer’s SCSI connector: the
catches at the plug’s sides clip onto the connector to fasten it
securely.
2.
Connect the free end of the cable to the CopyStation’s SCSI port.
a.
Press the cable plug firmly onto the rear-panel connector.
b.
Secure the cable to the CopyStation’s rear panel by pressing
the connector’s wire latches against the sides of the plug.
3.
If you are not connecting a disk drive to your printer, skip ahead
to the topic “Connecting to power.”

Connecting the CopyStation and a disk drive to the printer
If you are connecting a disk drive to your printer, you must connect it
between the printer and the CopyStation. (Because the printer and the
CopyStation have built-in, permanent SCSI termination, any disk drives
must be connected between the printer and the CopyStation and must not be
terminated.)
Before you begin: To perform this procedure, you will need a second SCSI
cable to connect the CopyStation to the printer.
■ To connect to the CopyStation, the cable requires a 50-position
SCSI plug at one end.
■ At its other end, to connect with your disk drive, the cable requires
a plug that is compatible with your disk drive. Most disk drives
require a 50-position SCSI plug; refer to your disk drive’s manual
if you are unsure of the type of plug it requires.
Y ou should be able to obtain a suitable cable and/or cable adapter fr om your
local computer equipment dealer. You can also order SCSI cables from
Tektronix; refer to Appendix A, “Technical Notes,” for ordering information.
Caution
To avoid damage to the CopyStation, the printer, and the disk
drive, make sure that their power is switched off during this
connection procedure.

1.
The disk drive should have two SCSI port connectors. If one of the
disk drive’s connectors is covered by a plug, remove the plug.
2.
Using the SCSI cable provided with the CopyStation, connect the
disk drive to the printer.
a.
Squeeze the sides of cable’s smaller plug and press it onto the
printer’s SCSI connector. The plug’s catches should clip onto
the connector to fasten it securely.
b.
Press the cable’s larger plug firmly onto one of the disk drive’s
SCSI connectors. Secure the plug by pressing the connector’s
wire latches onto it.
Note
For information on configuring the printer and disk drive, refer to
the instructions provided with them.
3.
Connect the second SCSI cable between the CopyStation and the
disk drive’s second SCSI port. Secure the plugs by pressing the
connectors’ wire latches onto them.

Connecting to power
1.
Connect the CopyStation’s power cord to the CopyStation’s rear
panel power outlet and to a grounded AC electrical outlet. Do not
switch on power to the CopyStation yet.
Note
Within the voltage and frequency ranges listed in this manual’s
“Technical Specifications” appendix, the CopyStation will adapt
automatically to the voltage and frequency of your local power
system.
2.
Connect the printer’s (and, if present, the disk drive’s) power cord
to a grounded AC electrical outlet. Do not switch on power yet.

Setting SCSI IDs
Each device in the SCSI chain must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number,
often referred to as its “address.”
■ The CopyStation contains two SCSI devices: the first is its copier
mechanism, and the second is its front-panel controller.
■ You cannot change the front-panel controller’s SCSI ID; it is
permanently set to 6.
■ The CopyStation also reserves its SCSI ID switch settings 8 and 9 for
test and transportation purposes.
■ When it arrives from the factory, the CopyStation’s SCSI ID switch
should be set to 5. As described in the following procedure, you
will need to verify and possibly change the switch’s ID setting.
■ Your Tektronix printer reserves SCSI address 7; the printer is set to
this address at the factory.
■ If you have a disk drive connected to the printer in the SCSI chain,
it too will need to be set to a unique ID (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Caution
If two SCSI devices have the same SCSI ID number, your
printing/copying environment will not work properly and you
may cause damage to your SCSI devices.

User Manual
2-11
Note
You can choose to set copier mechanism and disk drive SCSI IDs
to numbers other than those suggested in this procedure. If you
do so, make sure to set both of the IDs to unique numbers between
0 and 5.
1.
Locate the SCSI ID switch on the CopyStation’s rear panel.
2.
The switch should arrive from the factory with its ID set to 5. The
CopyStation will operate normally with this ID so long as it does
not conflict with a disk drive’s SCSI ID. If the ID is set to 5 and
you do not plan to connect a disk drive, you are finished with this
procedure and can skip ahead to the topic “Powering up and
making a test copy.”
If the SCSI ID switch is not set to 5, use a pointed instrument such
as a pen to press the small buttons at the top and bottom of the
switch. Each time you press one of the buttons, the ID number
increases or decreases by one. Set the ID to 5.
3.
If you have a disk drive connected: Set the disk drive’s SCSI ID
to 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. If you are not familiar with this procedure, refer
to the instructions provided with your disk drive for details.

Powering up and making a test copy
Making a test print lets you verify that the CopyStation and printer are
connected correctly and that SCSI IDs are set pr operly for normal operation.
This procedure also shows the proper power-up sequence for devices in the
SCSI chain.
1.
If you have a disk drive connected, switch its power on before the
printer’s.
Note
The printer looks for a disk drive in the chain when it powers up.
If the disk drive is not powered at that time, the printer cannot
“see” it; even if you switch on the disk drive’s power later, the
printer will still be unable to recognize it.
2.
Switch power on to the printer and to the CopyStation; you can
switch them on in either order.
