Turning On The Printer; The Startup - Tektronix PHASER 560 Service Manual

Turning on the printer

The startup page
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com
When you turn on the printer, it executes a series of self-tests to determine if
there are any problems with the PostScript interface. After running self-tests, the
printer prints a startup page if it has not been disabled. After running self-tests
and printing the startup page, the printer is ready for operation. A front panel
menu item allows you to enable or disable the startup page.
The startup page provides you with valuable information about the printer:
Printer name
Printer ID (physical ethernet address)
Number of built-in fonts
Ports (serial, parallel, LocalTalk, Ethernet, Token Ring)
Ethernet protocols available
TekColor corrections and print quality mode
Pages printed
Amount of RAM installed
Tektronix version firmware level
Print engine firmware level
Adobe version software level
Printer SCSI ID
Authorization code
SCSI disk attached
Phaser CopyStation attached
If the printer detects a non-fatal error at power-up, the startup page prints with
an error message. This is true, even if the startup page has been disabled. The
printer will still force a print to report the error.

Description
The named port is not working. The other
ports can still be used.
The optional memory SIMM x is not
working. In this message, x indicates the
number of the SIMM that failed (1 or 2).
Since the printer's base memory is still
working, the printer can still be used, but
large images may not print, fonts may not
download, and throughput may suffer.
