1 Introduction
The Tektronix Phaser 240 is a thermal-wax color printer that provides superior quality A/Letter-size and A4-size color prints. The printer provides color printing at speeds up to two pages per minute with PANTONE Color-approved and TekColor imaging enhancements.
The Phaser 240 delivers 300 x 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) color resolution in its default configuration. With a minimum of 8 Mbytes of additional memory installed, a 600 x 300 dpi resolution printing mode gives you sharper, clearer thermal-wax prints.
An optional Lower Tray Assembly is available for the printer; the optional Lower Tray Assembly provides dual-tray printing capability. Printing from two trays allows you to have paper and transparencies ready for printing at all times without switching trays. You can also load the same media in both trays.
The Phaser 240 printer provides vivid color on common laser paper, coated thermal-transfer paper, and transparencies. A specially formulated transfer roll gives prints on standard laser paper the brilliant color quality previously available only with coated thermal-transfer papers.
By using Tektronix perforated paper and transparencies, you can print full
A/Letter-size or A4-size images with ISO (International Standards
Organization) margins (5 mm; 0.2 in.).
