Placing the CopyStation

1.

Place the CopyStation near the printer, allowing adequate

ventilation and clearance:

a.

Provide a minimum of 8 cm (3 inches) of space at the

CopyStation’s left and right sides and at the front and rear.

This will allow for proper ventilation and adequate cabling

access. (Leave an extra 6 inches at the back of the CopyStation

for cable-connection and address-setting procedures.)

b.

Allow at least 42 cm (17 inches) of clearance space above the

CopyStation’s document cover. This will allow it to remain in

its raised position without assistance.

2.

Slide the

Phaser™ CopyStation Quick Reference

card under the

CopyStation (it is designed to rest between the CopyStation’s feet).

3.

If you will be connecting a disk drive to the printer, allow

adequate room for it also. Refer to the disk drive manufacturer’s

instructions for placement and clearance recommendations.

that their power is switched

off

during this procedure.

1.

Connect the CopyStation’s SCSI cable to the printer’s SCSI port.

Press the plug ﬁrmly onto the printer’s SCSI connector: the

catches at the plug’s sides clip onto the connector to fasten it

securely.

2.

Connect the free end of the cable to the CopyStation’s SCSI port.

a.

Press the cable plug ﬁrmly onto the rear-panel connector.

b.

Secure the cable to the CopyStation’s rear panel by pressing

Connecting the CopyStation and a disk drive to the printer

If you are connecting a disk drive to your printer, you must connect it

between the printer and the CopyStation. (Because the printer and the

CopyStation have built-in, permanent SCSI termination, any disk drives

must be connected between the printer and the CopyStation and must not be

terminated.)

Before you begin: To perform this procedure, you will need a second SCSI

cable to connect the CopyStation to the printer.

■ To connect to the CopyStation, the cable requires a 50-position

SCSI plug at one end.

■ At its other end, to connect with your disk drive, the cable requires

a plug that is compatible with your disk drive. Most disk drives

require a 50-position SCSI plug; refer to your disk drive’s manual

if you are unsure of the type of plug it requires.

You should be able to obtain a suitable cable and/or cable adapter from your

local computer equipment dealer. You can also order SCSI cables from

Tektronix; refer to Appendix A, “Technical Notes,” for ordering information.

Caution

To avoid damage to the CopyStation, the printer, and the disk

drive, make sure that their power is switched off during this

connection procedure.

Setting Up

2-8

Phaser CopyStation

1.

The disk drive should have two SCSI port connectors. If one of the

disk drive’s connectors is covered by a plug, remove the plug.

2.

Using the SCSI cable provided with the CopyStation, connect the

disk drive to the printer.

a.

Squeeze the sides of cable’s smaller plug and press it onto the

printer’s SCSI connector. The plug’s catches should clip onto

the connector to fasten it securely.

b.

Press the cable’s larger plug ﬁrmly onto one of the disk drive’s

SCSI connectors. Secure the plug by pressing the connector’s

wire latches onto it.

Note

For information on conﬁguring the printer and disk drive, refer to

the instructions provided with them.

3.

Connect the second SCSI cable between the CopyStation and the

disk drive’s second SCSI port. Secure the plugs by pressing the

connectors’ wire latches onto them.
