The Tektronix Phaser(TM) 540 Color Laser Printer
Laser-speed, laser-ease, with photographic-quality
Introducing the second generation of desktop color laser printers. This is really
something special. It's the world's first desktop color laser printer that
provides photorealistic printing in full color on plain paper, at
high-performance speeds. Now you can have color laser printing that's easy
to use, easy to maintain, and easy to expand as your needs change. All at a
price your department can afford. Looking great on paper has never been simpler.
Tektronix has advanced the art of desktop color laser printing to a new
level. The Phaser 540 delivers continuous-tone output at true 600 x 600 or
300 x 300 dpi resolution. The results are low-cost color documents so striking you simply must see them for yourself.
Our exclusive TekColor Dynamic Correction is built into every Phaser 540,
so you can print all the colors you'd like. And matching your company
colors has never been easier. Just select the color adjustment you want to
match the colors on your computer display, print the brightest
transparencies, simulate PANTONE®* solid colors, or the output of SWOP,
Commercial, or Euroscale printing presses
The Phaser 540 was built for speed. Its finely tuned print engine breaks
the speed barrier for desktop color - nearly 4 ppm in color, 14 ppm in
black-and-white. High-speed image processing is standard, thanks to a
32-MHz RISC processor, complete with Tektronix' advanced image processing.
In fact, the next time you need a short-run, commercial printing job,
consider printing it at your office on the Phaser 540. The optional Lower Tray Assembly includes two additional input trays for a total of three input trays. And you can switch among them right from your
computer.
Today's workplace is bustling with priorities. Productivity has never been
more important. That's why we made the Phaser 540 reliable and easy to use.
It was designed from the ground up, for first-time users. It supports PCs,
Macintosh, and UNIX workstations. Standard bi-directional Parallel port,
plus optional PhaserShare cards for Ethernet, LocalTalk, and Token Ring
networks. PhaserShare includes a network utility for Novell® NetWare® protocol that provides remote printer status reporting. Genuine Adobe(TM) PostScript(TM) Level 2 is standard and enables the Phaser 540 to print from virtually every software package, regardless of platform.
The Phaser 540 can handle all of your department's printing needs. It's a
high-volume, central resource for all your color and black-and-white laser
printing. With a powerful 20 Mbytes of standard memory, image processing
takes place in the printer, not your computer. For added productivity, the
Phaser 540 offers job pipe-lining, for nearly continuous output: as one job
is printing, the next one is processing. And for the most demanding
applications, you can expand the memory to a total of 52 Mbytes, further
enhancing throughput.
The Phaser 540 is easy to use thanks to the convenient, modular design of
its consumables. Toners are efficiently integrated into individual
cartridges for clean and easy replacement. The Lower Tray Assembly provides
two additional input trays so you can choose to print on paper or
transparencies right from your PC, Mac, or workstation.
Add greater productivity to your workgroup with the optional Phaser
Copystation. The Copystation enables you to make color copies on the Phaser
540. It's an easy way to incorporate commercially printed material,
photographs, or other originals into your presentations - without the extra
effort of tracking down the original source or locating electronic files.
Plus the Copystation can reduce or enlarge your originals from 25% to 200%.
And for the most exacting projects, you can fine-tune individual colors.
The Phaser Copystation brings a new level of convenience and capability to
your workgroup.
