Lower Paper Tray Assembly (recommended)
An optional, 250-sheet Lower Paper Tray Assembly for paper printing lets
you conÞgure the printer for dual-tray printing capability. Two trays are
especially useful if you commonly print on several sizes and types of media.
For example, you might want to print on transparencies, letterhead, label
media or Tabloid Maximum-size media from the upper tray and use the
lower tray for printing on an alternate size of paper, such as Letter-size.
To order an optional Lower Paper Tray Assembly, use Tektronix order
number Z380LTA.
Printer Station (recommended)
The Printer Station is designed to safely support the weight of the Phaser 380
color printer (100 kg/200 lbs.) and the printerÕs Lower Tray Assembly
(36.8 kg /81 lbs.). Adding a Printer Station to the printer raises it to a
comfortable operating height, while providing a convenient location to store
the printerÕs media supplies and consumable components, such as
maintenance trays, transparency media, and ColorStix ink sticks. The
Printer Station features hinged doors, a removable drawer, and lockable
caster wheels. The Printer Station measures approximately 51.5 cm
(20.25 in.) high, 59.7 cm (23.5 in.) wide and 62.2 cm (24.5 in.) deep.
To order the Phaser 380 Printer Station, use Tektronix order number:
Z380CRT.
Media tray
The printer is shipped with a Universal-size media tray that holds
approximately 250 sheets of paper or 100 sheets of transparency media.
Additional trays can be ordered for convenience. If you often print
transparencies or letterhead, you can save time and effort by purchasing a
second media tray and dedicate it for printing special paper types. Having
separate trays for each type of media lets you easily print on multiple media
types by simply swapping trays. There is no need to load and unload trays
when changing between media types.
To order an additional Universal-size media tray, use Tektronix order
number 436-0323-00.
