Increase the power and capability of your printer with upgrade kits. Upgrade
kits make your printer faster, more networkable and more productive. To order an
upgrade, contact your local Tektronix dealer. To locate a dealer, press the
"Local Contact" button on the bottom of any Phaser printer web page.
The following upgrade kits are available:
16-Mbyte SIMM (part of Z350FX Upgrade kit):
Upgrade to a 24 Mbyte configuration by installing the Z350FX upgrade. The kit,
which includes a 16-Mbyte RAM SIMM, upgrades the printer to the extended features
configuration. Refer to ³Z350FX Extended Features Upgrade" below for more
information.
The Phaser 350 features one RAM SIMM connector, it holds a 16-Mbyte RAM SIMM.
The total amount of memory installed in the printer is reported on the printer's
startup page and on its configuration page. In general, more memory improves
data throughput, reduces the level of compression used during image processing,
provides more storage for downloadable fonts, and allows printing of the most
complex images. Additional memory also reduces print file offload time from the
host by increasing the size of input buffers for the I/O ports.
Z350FX Extended Features Upgrade:
This is known as the printer's Option FX; it adds 52 built-in fonts to the
printer as well as an engine ROM upgrade. The upgrade also includes a 16-Mbyte
RAM SIMM to bring the printer's total to 24 Mbytes. With the upgrade the printer
supports, job pipelining, 600 x 300 dot per inch printing and more downloadable
font storage.
Z350FP1 Ethernet Network Card:
This is referred to as the printer's Option P1. This kit includes a PhaserShare
Version 2.0 card with 10baseT and 10base2 connectors supporting TCP/IP,
EtherTalk, Novell NetWare and HTTP protocols. Software and manuals are also
included.
Z350FP3 LocalTalk Network Card:
This is the printer's Option P3. This kit includes a card with a circular DIN-8
connector supporting the LocalTalk protocol and an RS-232 (serial) port.
Z350FP4 Token Ring Network Card:
This is the printer's Option P4. It includes a PhaserShare Version 2.0 card with
a 10baseT and a twisted pair DB-9 connector supporting TCP/IP, TokenTalk, Novell
NetWare and HTTP protocols. Software and manuals are also included.
4690F20 PhaserPrint TM Software:
For printing in UNIX and VMS environments, Tektronix offers PhaserPrint software.
PhaserPrint software provides fast raster screen copy printing to Tektronix
color printers. PhaserPrint software also provides a graphical user interface
for push-button control of Tektronix printer features. PhaserPrint software
works with the workstation¹s native spooling system to print PostScript files and
raster files in these formats: Sun Raster Format (SRF), xwd, and SGI RGB.
4690F41 PhaserSym TM Software:
For printing in VMS environments, Tektronix offers PhaserSym software. PhaserSym
software is a VMS print symbiont for DEC OpenVMS, VAX, and DEC OpenVMS AXP
computers. PhaserSym software requires the printer include Ethernet support.
Z350LTA Lower Paper Tray Assembly:
With its 500-sheet capacity, the Lower Paper Tray Assembly transforms the printer
into 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. For metric trays,
order Z350LTA Option 01.
Z350DSK External Hard Disk:
With the Phaser 350 printer, you can connect one or more Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI) external hard disks to the printer and use them for additional
font storage. Once you download a font to the external disk, the font remains
there until you remove it. With the extended features option installed, the hard
disk drive supports multiple-page print job collation.
The Phaser 350 printer can use most SCSI hard disks that support the full SCSI
command set. Also, most SCSI hard disks that work with an Apple LaserWriter will
work with the Phaser 350 printer. Contact your computer or printer dealer for
information.
To connect an external disk, you need these items:
A SCSI peripheral cable for each disk. The printer uses a SCSI-2, 50-pin
connector.
One SCSI cable terminator, unless your disk drive has an internal terminator.
The printer supports up to seven external disks connected at one time.
