Network Printing with Tektronix Color Printers
PhaserShare Series B network interface
The Phaser 840, 740, 780, and 360 printers support the PhaserShare Series B network
interface. These printers are equipped with a built-in PhaserShare Series B network
interface with a 10BaseT Ethernet connector. This printer can be equipped with
these optional PhaserShare Series B network cards:
■
PhaserShare Series B Fast Ethernet card.
This card is equipped with a
combined 10BaseT and 100BaseTx connector and a 10Base2 (BNC)
connector. The combined 10BaseT/100BaseTx connector can be connected
to either a 10BaseT or 100BaseTx network, and it will automatically adjust
to the correct data rate using a process called
auto-negotiation
. If no
connection is made to the 10BaseT/100BaseTx connector, the card is
prepared to communicate using the 10Base2 connector.
■
PhaserShare Series B Token Ring card.
This card is equipped with STP
(Shielded Twisted Pair) and UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) connectors.
Only one connector at a time can be used.
■
PhaserShare Series B LocalTalk card (AppleTalk).
PhaserShare network cards can be purchased initially with the printer as options or
added later as upgrade kits. A printer can have only one card at a time installed.
When a PhaserShare Series B Fast Ethernet or Token Ring card is installed, the
standard 10BaseT connector on the printer’s rear panel is disabled. The card and
the printer’s standard parallel port can be simultaneously active. All network
protocols can be simultaneously active.
PhaserShare cards
PhaserShare cards work with the following printers: Phaser 380, 350, 340, 560, 550,
540, and 600. PhaserShare cards enable you to use your printer with Ethernet, Token
Ring, LocalTalk, or serial connections. PhaserShare cards can be purchased initially
with the printer as options or added later as upgrade kits.
A printer can have only one PhaserShare card installed at a time. When a
PhaserShare card is installed, all ports on the card and the printer’s standard parallel
port can be simultaneously active. Also, all network protocols can be
simultaneously active.
