The Phaser 2135 Color Printer - Xerox 2135DX - Phaser Color Laser Printer Service Manual

The Phaser 2135 Color Printer

The Phaser 2135 Color Printer combines a 4-color, LED-based, tandem-design
Tabloid print engine with an EFI image processing controller board supporting
Adobe's PostScript Level 3 page description language. The controller features a
bi-directional parallel interface and an Ethernet port for host communication. The
Ethernet port supports EtherTalk 10/100baseT, Novell and TCP/IP. All printer
versions support the color PCL5C printer language.
The printer is available in three configurations:
The Phaser 2135N comes standard with 128 Mbytes of RAM.
Additional 64-, 128- and 256-Mbyte RAM DIMMs can be added with a
maximum usable capacity is 512 Mbytes. The printer contains
136 standard, built-in fonts. The Phaser 2135N prints at a color
resolutions of 600 x 600 dots-per-inch and 600 x 1200 dots-per-inch.
The Phaser 2135DT is the same as the Phaser 2135N except it includes
192 Mbytes of memory, an auto-duplexer, an internal hard drive and a
lower feeder tray assembly. With the hard drive the 2135DT supports a
print collation mode, a "First Page Preview" mode and a secure print
job "password" mode.
The Phaser 2135DX has all the features and capabilities of the
Phaser 2135DT printers but includes 256 MBytes of RAM and a
three-tray lower tray deck.
The printer supports the following resolutions:
600 x 600 dpi (Normal)
600 x 1200 dpi (High-quality)
The printer also accepts 300 x 300 dpi files from PCL legacy drivers, PCL bit map
fonts, PCL bit map images, although these are imaged at 600 x 600 dpi. The
resolution supported is a function of the PDL used and the feature being selected,
such as Fax Friendly Black and Draft Mode. Both PostScript and PCL allow full
selection of all paper sources, paper sizes, paper types and output trays.
The auto-duplexer unit (optional on the Phaser 2135N) allows the printer to
automatically create two-sided prints.
Print speeds depend on the chosen resolution and selected media. For resolutions
of 600 x 600 (standard), in color, the printer prints at 21 pages-per-minute (ppm)
on paper. Monochrome printing is at 26 ppm on paper. Transparency film
printing is always 6.5 ppm. For 600 x 1200 dpi (enhanced) color printing, the
printer prints color at the same speeds as standard mode.
The printer support printing on paper sizes such as A-, A4- , Legal-, B-, A3-size
and 12 x 18 in. paper and transparency film from an adjustable tray. The printer
supports up to 5 trays. The printer also features a built-in multi-sheet bypass
feeder from which specialty media, cardstock and envelopes can be fed.
