Introduction
The Tektronix Phaser 240 is a thermal-wax color printer that provides
superior quality A/Letter-size and A4-size color prints. The printer
provides color printing at speeds up to two pages per minute with
PANTONE Color-approved and TekColor imaging enhancements.
The Phaser 240 delivers 300 x 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) color resolution in its
default configuration. With a minimum of 8 Mbytes of additional memory
installed, a 600 x 300 dpi resolution printing mode gives you sharper, clearer
thermal-wax prints.
An optional Lower Tray Assembly is available for the printer; the optional
Lower Tray Assembly provides dual-tray printing capability. Printing from
two trays allows you to have paper and transparencies ready for printing at
all times without switching trays. You can also load the same media in both
trays.
The Phaser 240 printer provides vivid color on common laser paper, coated
thermal-transfer paper, and transparencies. A specially formulated transfer
roll gives prints on standard laser paper the brilliant color quality previously
available only with coated thermal-transfer papers.
By using Tektronix
perforated
paper and transparencies, you can print full
A/Letter-size or A4-size images with ISO (International Standards
Organization) margins (5 mm; 0.2 in.).
