PhaserLink software printer control and information access.

PhaserLinkª

software provides a breakthrough in printer control and information access.

Rather than use vendor-proprietary, printer-speciÞc, and platform-speciÞc

management utilities, PhaserLink software provides these functions using

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol, the basis for World Wide Web

browsers). PhaserLink software lets you use a standard web browser to

view printer status, control printer conÞguration, and link to online

documentation via the World Wide Web.

Note

To use PhaserLink software, the printer must be connected to a

network running TCP/IP. Refer to the

PhaserShare Network

Cards and Software System Administrator Manual

for

complete details.

Easy to use and maintain.

Designed for the graphic arts environment, the

printer is fast and easy to use. When the printer is low on ink, you just drop

in Tektronix ColorStix

¨

solid-ink sticks and continue printing. Each

ColorStix solid-ink stick has a unique color and shape to simplify loading.

The printer produces consistently accurate and vibrant prints without the

need for user calibration.

To order ColorStix solid-ink sticks, transparencies, paper, or other supplies,

refer to the supplies information sheet that is shipped with the printer and

contact your local dealer or, in the United States and Canada, call Tektronix
