    Possible to adapt USB (or SATA) external hard drive to Phaser 740's SCSI port???

    thread723-1588891 Reposting the above referenced old question in hopes someone may shed some light... In short, is there an adapter that will enable an external USB (or SATA) hard drive to be attached to our old Phaser 740's SCSI port?

    USB Hard Drive and Phaser 740

    Is it possible to attach an external USB hard drive to my Phaser 740 instead of the stock SCSI drive? What adapter could accomplish this? Anyone tried???

    Phaser 740DX-Any way to replace SCSI drive with USB?

    I see numerous adapters available to make SCSI devices accessable via USB, but can't seem to find any that facilitate the reverse: getting a USB device attached to a SCSI port. Specifically, our workhorse Phaser 740 is equipped with the standard Tektronix external SCSI drive that is (surprise)...

    Phaser 740 upgrade

    I recently purchased a lightly used Phaser 740 unit on eBay for parts and as a backup for our workhorse 740. The main board in the newly acquired 740 sports ENGINE 23 vs. our current 740, which contains ENGINE 21, so in principle, I'd like to swap-in the "fresher" board. HOWEVER, I note on the...

    Speeding up printing to Phaser 740 w/ SCSI hard drive

    Can anyone help here??? Can we get print jobs to move promptly to our Phaser 740's SCSI hard drive rather than sitting in the user's workstation print spool?

    phaser 740 printer image problem

    I've dredged up this old thread because I'm having the identical problem with my 740... I tried all of the above recommendations (including changing my transfer kit.) No luck :( Exactly like "rdskier's" symptoms, I have small white smudges along the right side of every page in every color at...

    Speeding up printing to Phaser 740 w/ SCSI hard drive

    Isn't there some way to get print data out of my desktop's print spool and onto my Phaser 740's SCSI hard drive faster? At present, the essentially empty 4GB drive pretty much just sits there waiting while the printer "wakes up" from Energy Star mode. In the meantime, my print job(s) are stuck...

    Tek740: Hard Drive Question

    Hi All! I was wondering if anyone could advise me as to how I could "see" what was on the SCSI hard drive attached to my Phaser 740. My reasons for asking are fourfold: 1) The drive has started behaving oddly--sounds like it's accessing continuously (even when nothing's queued); 2) I've...

    Phaser 740 - Not your usual vertical streak problem!

    Marty5261--You're a genius!!!!! As you suggested, I pulled the imaging unit and discovered the laser window at the top of the printer housing--never noticed it there before (it's recessed). Anyway, there was no obvious obstruction; nonetheless, I puffed in a little canned air and swabbed the...

    Phaser 740 - Not your usual vertical streak problem!

    Help! I'm at my wit's (and budget's) end! About a month ago, my Phaser 740 started creating an unusal vertical streak just right of center on all pages. The streak is unusual in that it varies in color down the page: always a much lighter shade of the "correct" shade. (e.g. If the...
