Phaser 380 Color Printer

All about media

The printer prints on a variety of paper sizes and grades, transparencies, and

full-sheet, peel-off label stock (such as Avery 5160). The size and grade of

paper you select depends on your printing needs and whether you are using

the paper tray or manually feeding media into the printer. Tektronix offers a

Tabloid Maximum-size paper that measures 332.49 x 471.17 mm (13.09 x

18.55 in.) to accommodate printing of Tabloid/A3 full-size bleeds.

You can recycle the paper printed on this printer the same way you would

recycle paper from any laser printer.

Caution

To avoid damaging your printer, do not use perforated paper or

three-holed paper.

Tektronix Phaser 380 printer transparency media offers enhanced ink

adhesion and print quality for overhead transparencies. The Lower Paper

Tray Assembly is not intended for use with transparencies or label stock. If

you attempt to print transparencies from the lower tray, lower-quality prints

will result.

Caution

Do not use paper or transparency media intended for ink-jet or

thermal-wax printers. Tektronix does not guarantee printer

performance on non-Tektronix transparency media.

Tektronix Phaser 380 printer inks are specially formulated to ensure the best

print quality and long-term reliability.

Caution

Tektronix Phaser 380 ColorStix ink is formulated speciÞcally

for use with the Phaser 380 printer. To avoid damaging the

printhead, only use Phaser 380 ColorStix solid-ink sticks.
