Startup page

2-14 Phaser 340 Color Printer
When you turn on a Phaser 340 printer, it executes a series of self-tests to
determine if there are any problems with the PostScript interface. After running
self-tests and reaching the "Ready" state, the printer prints a startup page (if the
startup page has been enabled). After running self-tests and printing the startup
page, the printer is ready for operation. A downloadable PostScript utility file,
found on the Drivers and Utilities diskette, allows you to enable or disable the
startup page. Alternately, you can disable the startup page using the front panel
menu; refer to the Chapter 9 topic, "Front panel menu" on page 9-2.
The startup page provides valuable information about the printer:
Fonts
Ports (Serial, Parallel, LocalTalk, Ethernet)
Printer name
Ethernet protocols
TekColor corrections and print quality mode
Pages printed
RAM installed
Tektronix version firmware
Adobe PostScript version software
Printer ID
Authorization code
SCSI disk attached
If the printer detects a non-fatal error at power-up, the startup page prints with
an error message printed in red; this is true, even if the startup page has been
disabled; the printer will still force a print to report the error.
Message
Serial, Parallel, LocalTalk, EtherTalk, or
SCSI Port failed
DRAM SIMM failed
Description
The named port is not working. The other
ports can still be used.
The memory SIMM is not working. Since
the printer's base memory is still working,
the printer can still be used, but large
images may not print, special imaging
features may not work and throughput may
be reduced.
