Introduction
 
The Tektronix Phaser
 
®
 
 340 Color Printer uses Tektronix’ solid ink-jet 
technology.  Solid ink-jet refers to the melting of the solid inks inside the 
printer which then resolidify quickly as the image is transferred onto paper.  
The ink hardens so rapidly that it does not have time to bleed into the paper, 
so the printed colors remain brilliant and well-defined.
The Phaser 340 produces laser-quality color prints on Letter-size and A4-size 
media.  You can use common office paper, as well as transparency film and 
peel-off label media.  For best print quality, use Tektronix premium 
transparencies.  With a print speed of four pages-per-minute on paper and 
two pages-per-minute on transparencies, the printer is well suited to 
workgroup printing environments.
In its standard configuration, the printer provides 300 x 300 dots-per-inch 
(dpi) resolution color printing, 8 Mbytes of memory and a total of 17 fonts.  
Features such as 600 x 300 dpi resolution printing, additional memory for 
performance and extra fonts are also optionally available.
The Phaser 340 with extended features adds higher print resolution and 
increased print performance, making it 
 
the
 
 choice for larger workgroups.  
The extended features option adds 600 x 300 dpi resolution printing, 
24 Mbytes of memory and a total of 69 fonts.  Additional memory improves 
the printer’s performance by offloading your computer faster, improving 
processing speeds, allowing job pipelining, and providing storage for more 
downloadable fonts.
