Overview

Caring for Your Printer

To ensure the best print quality and the most reliable printer operation,
follow these simple guidelines:
Always use high-quality laser paper and only Tektronix
transparencies.
To maintain print quality, use the troubleshooting information on
the Phaser 550 Quick Reference Card and in Chapter 6; also use the
Test Print and Service Print 1 in the front panelÕs Help Pages menu
to diagnose symptoms.
Do not touch the underside or the right side of the imaging unit;
Þngerprints may appear on your output.
Keep the imaging unitÕs light exposure to a minimum Ñ less than
45 seconds Ñ or you may damage the unit:
When installing a new imaging unit, keep the protective plastic
sheet on until immediately before you insert it into the printer.
If, when installing the imaging unit, you also need to install other
components, install the imaging unit last to minimize its light
exposure.
When changing a toner cartridge or clearing a media jam, make
sure that you close the right side door quickly to avoid any light
exposure to the imaging unit.
Do not leave the front door open for extended periods of time (for
example, several hours).
Double-sided printing will require more frequent cleaning of the
rollers and will reduce the average life of the consumables.
