B6F New main board, 671-3760-80 is exchange part number.
For printers serial-numbered BCxxxxx and up and the Phaser 350. PhaserLink,
the Tektronix implementation of a World Wide Web server inside the printer,
allows a customer to communicate to the printer using a web browser. With
PhaserLink, a customer can view and set printer and networking parameters. A
homepage built into the printer links the printer to other homepages such as the
Tektronix World Wide Web home page.
To view the printer's homepage, the printer must be connected to a network
supporting TCP/IP protocols and be assigned an IP address. Refer to the
PhaserShare Network Cards and Software User Manual .
The PC-based diagnostics allows you to interactively test and check the
operations and functionality of the printer. The diagnostics are provided on a
3-1/2 inch floppy diskette. All of the diagnostic tests are started from the PC.
Some of the tests are stored on-board the main board in ROM and are merely
started by the PC-based diagnostics; other tests are downloaded to the printer
from the PC. The test are functionally divided into two classes: 29K tests, which
execute test stored in the 29K processor's ROM and the 68K tests which are
downloaded to the printer to test the 68K processor and the print engine.
The PC diagnostics were developed to run on a PC. The diagnostics are used
with an Apple® PowerBook® running PC emulation software as this is the
portable computer in use by Tektronix Field Service.
Note Printers serial-numbered B0xxxxx to BB xxxxx use diagnostics
version 1.24. Printers serial-numbered BCxxxxx and up use
diagnostics version 2.40. Both diagnostics are available on the same
diskette. Printers B0xxxxx to BBxxxxx may receive a firmware
upgrade, upgrade kit Z340PL, revising the firmware to 2.40R. The
"R" is visible only on the ROM's label, not on the printer's startpage.
These printers require version 2.40R or 2.40RA diagnostics.
A future release of the diagnostics is planned that will automatically
select the correct version when the diagnostics are started.
