Installing the Printer and Drivers
Turning on the printer
Startup page
When you turn on a Phaser 380 printer, it executes a series of self-tests to
determine if there are any problems with the PostScript interface. After running
self-tests and reaching the “Ready” state, the printer prints a startup page (if the
startup page has been enabled). After running self-tests and printing the startup
page, the printer is ready for operation. A downloadable PostScript utility file,
found on the Drivers and Utilities diskette, allows you to enable or disable the
startup page. Alternately, you can disable the startup page using the front panel
menu; refer to the topic, “Front panel menu” on page 9-2.
The startup page provides valuable information about the printer:
■
Fonts
■
Ports (Serial, Parallel, LocalTalk, Ethernet)
■
Printer name
■
Ethernet protocols
■
TekColor corrections and print quality mode
■
Pages printed
■
RAM installed
■
Tektronix version firmware
■
Adobe PostScript version software
■
Printer ID
■
Authorization code
■
SCSI disk attached
If the printer detects a non-fatal error at power-up, the startup page prints with
an error message printed in red; this is true, even if the startup page has been
disabled; the printer will still force a print to report the error.
Message
Description
Serial, Parallel, LocalTalk, EtherTalk, or
SCSI Port failed
The named port is not working. The other
ports can still be used.
DRAM SIMM failed
The memory SIMM is not working. Since
the printer’s base memory is still working,
the printer can still be used, but large
images may not print, special imaging
features may not work and throughput may
be reduced.
