ColorStix solid-ink sticks

Phaser 360 printer ColorStix¨ solid-ink sticks come in four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Each of these ink sticks has a unique shape that matches the shape of the corresponding loading bin on top of the printer. The printer holds up to three ink sticks of each color, and you can replace ink sticks easily Ñ and without having to wait until the printer runs out of ink. ColorStix ink sticks are clean, safe, and environmentally friendly.

Your printer is shipped with a starter ink pack containing one of each color ink stick. Replace ink sticks when prompted by the printer.

Note To ensure that your printer is always available for use, Tektronix recommends that you immediately order and maintain a stock of each color ink stick. See “Printer supplies” on page 10-2 for ordering information.

Maintenance tray and waste liner

The maintenance tray is a replaceable tray that is used during the printerÕs printing and cleaning operations. The blue plastic tray inserted in the maintenance tray is the waste liner, which catches ink purged when the printer runs through its cleaning cycle. Replace the maintenance tray when a message at the printerÕs front panel indicates the tray is low, after about 12,500 prints. Empty the waste liner when prompted by the printer.

Note To avoid printing delays, always keep an extra maintenance tray available. See “Printer supplies” on page 10-2 for ordering information.
