Note: See Printer interface cables and adapters about ordering cables for connecting the printer.

---

1. PhaserShare card (optional) The printer accepts one of the following:
   • PhaserShare Ethernet card supporting Novell NetWare, EtherTalk, TCP/IP, Telnet and FTP protocols.

   • PhaserShare Token Ring card supporting Novell NetWare, TokenTalk, TCP/IP, Telnet and FTP protocols.

   • PhaserShare LocalTalk/serial card.

     The PhaserShare Network Cards and Software System Administrator Manual contains all the information necessary for configuring and using the optional network interfaces. Refer to PhaserShare network cards for ordering information.

2. Parallel (standard) The printer supports a standard (uni-directional) parallel port. The port can also be set for bi-directional communications using downloadable utility files, available on the printer's CD-ROM, diskettes, or from the Tektronix World Wide Web site (http://www.tektronix.xerox.com/).
   • Use a high-density bi-directional parallel cable, available from most computer cable vendors. The maximum parallel cable length can be no longer than 3 meters; any longer than 3 meters can cause serious problems with the printer. Or, you can order a 36-pin high-density printer to 25-pin DSUB PC cable from Tektronix (order number: 012-1468-00). Otherwise, you can use a 36-pin to 36-pin parallel cable and the parallel adapter supplied with the printer.

   • Connect a parallel interface cable to your computer and to the printer's parallel port:

3. SCSI (standard) For connecting these optional peripheral devices:
   • Phaser Copystation To set up and connect the Phaser Copystation to your printer, refer to Chapter 2 of the Phaser Copystation User Manual. Required SCSI ID numbers are 5 and 6. Refer to Phaser Copystation accessory for ordering information.

   • External SCSI hard disk Provides additional storage for downloadable fonts or for printer collation with the Extended Features option. You can connect one or more SCSI external hard disks to the printer; available SCSI ID numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Refer to SCSI hard disk for ordering information.

     Make sure that all SCSI devices are turned off before plugging or unplugging any cables.

Caution: To protect your printer from a power surge, make sure that the power switch on the printer is in the off position before plugging in the cord.

---

1. Plug the power cord into the printer and into a grounded outlet.

2. Turn on the power to any peripherals you have connected (i.e., a SCSI disk or Phaser Copystation).

3. Wait about 10 seconds, then turn on the printer.

• Both status indicators (powerand error) on the printer's front panel light briefly. Messages appear in the Liquid Crystal Display panel (LCD). The printer goes through a series of self-tests. The printer takes about 3 minutes to warm up and complete the self-tests (depending on the amount of memory installed).

• After the self-tests run successfully, the printer prints a Startup Page and, if the printer's copy count is between five and eight pages, prints a Registration Page. The Startup Page prints whenever you turn on or reset the printer.

  ---

  Note: You can disable the Startup Page using either the front panel menu (refer to Enabling and disabling the Startup Page for instructions) or a software utility file provided on the printer's CD-ROM and the Tektronix World Wide Web site (refer to "Enabling and disabling the Startup Page" for details).
