Phaser®
550 Overview
| Features |
On-Demand Office Color Printing
Introducing the next generation of desktop color laser
printing. This is really something special. It's the world's
first desktop color laser printer that provides photorealistic
printing in full color on plain paper, at high-performance
speeds. Now you can have color laser printing that's easy
to use, easy to maintain, and easy to expand as your needs
change. All at a price your department can afford. Looking
great on paper has never been simpler.

Extraordinary Image Quality
Tektronix has advanced the art of desktop color laser
printing to a new level. The Phaser 550 delivers near-photographic
output at true 1200 x 1200 or 600 x 600 dpi resolution.
The results are low-cost color documents so striking you
simply must see them for yourself.

Color Control Made Easy
Our exclusive TekColor Dynamic Correction is built
into every Phaser 550, so you can print all the colors
you'd like. And matching your company colors has never
been easier -- just select the color adjustment you want
to match the colors on your computer display. Print the
brightest transparencies, simulate PANTONE®
solid colors, or the output of SWOP, Commercial, or Euroscale
printing presses
|
High-speed RISC performance
The Phaser 550 was built for speed. Its finely tuned
print engine breaks the speed barrier for desktop color
-- nearly 5 ppm in color, 14 ppm in black-and-white. High-speed
image processing is standard, thanks to a 32-MHz RISC
processor, complete with Tektronix' advanced image processing.
In fact, the next time you need a short-run, commercial
printing job, consider printing it at your office on the
Phaser 550. The optional Lower Tray Assembly includes
two additional input trays for a total of three input
trays. And you can switch among them right from your computer.

Compatible with Your System and
Your Software
Today's workplace is bustling with priorities. Productivity
has never been more important. That's why we made the
Phaser 550 reliable and easy to use. It was designed from
the ground up, for first-time users. It supports PCs,
Macintosh, and UNIX workstations. The bi-directional Parallel
port is standard, available options include PhaserShare
cards for Ethernet, LocalTalk, and Token Ring networks.
Genuine Adobe(TM) PostScript(TM)
Level 2 is standard and enables the Phaser 550 to print
from virtually every software package, regardless of platform.

PhaserLink provides answers to may common user questions.
Through PhaserLink, users can also obtain information
about a printer from their onsite technical support staff
or from the Tektronix help desk and available online documents.
PhaserLink accomplishes all this and more, without any
need for unique proprietary software on the desktop computer.
With PhaserLink and any standard web browser, you'll find
answers to everyday questions without ever leaving your

High-Volume, Convenience and Flexibility
The Phaser 550 will handle all of your department's
printing needs. It's a high-volume, central resource for
everything, from black and white to near-photographic
color printing. With a powerful 8 Mbytes of standard memory,
image processing takes place in the printer, not your
computer. For added productivity, the Phaser 550 offers
job pipe-lining for nearly continuous output: as one job
is printing, the next one is processing. And for more
demanding applications, you can expand the memory in 16
Mbyte increments from 8 to 72 Mbytes. The Phaser 550 is
easy to use thanks to the convenient, modular design of
consumables. Toners are efficiently integrated into individual,
high-capacity cartridges for clean and easy replacement.
Toner capacity is more than double that of competing color
lasers. The Lower Tray Assembly provides two additional
input trays so you can choose to print on paper or transparencies
right from your PC, Mac, or workstation. Manual Duplex
Printing Support for two-sided prints, similar to manual
duplex printing on a monochrome laser printer.
|
Convenient Color Copying
Add greater productivity to your workgroup with the
optional Phaser Copystation. The Copystation enables you
to make color copies on the Phaser 550. It's an easy way
to incorporate commercially printed material, photographs,
or other originals into your presentations - without the
extra effort of tracking down the original source or locating
electronic files. Plus the Copystation can reduce or enlarge
your originals from 25% to 200%. And for the most exacting
projects, you can fine-tune individual colors. The Phaser
Copystation connects directly to the Phaser 550, providing
"pushbutton" copying convenience.
