Turning On The Printer; Startup; Service Manual - Tektronix Phaser 360 Service Manual

Turning on the printer

Startup page
When you turn on a Phaser 360 printer, it executes a series of self-tests to
determine if there are any problems. 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 topic, "Front panel menu" on page 9-2.
The startup page provides valuable information about the printer:
Fonts
Ports (Parallel, LocalTalk, Ethernet, TokenRing)
Printer name
Ethernet protocols
TekColor corrections and print quality mode
Pages printed
RAM installed
Tektronix firmware version
Adobe PostScript software version
Printer ID
Authorization codes
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
Parallel, LocalTalk, EtherTalk, or SCSI Port
failed
DRAM SIMM failed
Installing the Printer and Drivers
Description
The named port is not working. The other
ports can still be used.
The memory SIMMs are not working. Since
one of the printer's SIMM 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.
