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.
