Description
Xerox Phaser 960 N9C-3139-00 IP Printer Board 156MB 5GB HDD USB Ethernet Parallel
The Xerox Phaser 960 N9C-3139-00 is the Image Processing (IP) controller board for the Xerox Phaser 960 color laser printer. This board serves as the print engine's main controller, handling image processing, raster image processing (RIP), and all host communication. It mounts internally via a full-length PCI-style form factor and connects to the rear I/O bracket, which provides the printer's external connectivity. The Phaser 960 line descends from Tektronix's professional color printer technology following Xerox's acquisition of Tektronix's printer division in 1999.

Applications
The Xerox Phaser 960 was a professional-grade A3/tabloid-capable solid ink color printer introduced in the early 2000s, targeting graphics professionals, design studios, and print departments that needed high-quality color output at a lower per-page cost than toner-based alternatives. The IP board is the core of the printer's intelligence — it processes incoming print data from the host (via USB, Ethernet, or Parallel), converts it to the raster format the print engine requires, and manages print job queuing and printer state. Replacement IP boards are sought after by organizations still running Phaser 960 units for in-house proofing or color production work, and by technicians servicing these printers. The Tektronix/Xerox Phaser 860 and 960 share compatible memory, so this board may also be cross-referenced by technicians working on the Phaser 860 platform.
This Xerox Phaser 960 N9C-3139-00 IP Printer Board has been inspected and is in good used condition. The board includes the IBM Travelstar DJSA-205 5.0GB ATA/IDE hard drive and 128MB PC100 SO-DIMM memory module as shown in the photos. The rear bracket, USB port, Ethernet RJ-45, and Parallel port connector all appear intact and undamaged. The board itself shows light handling wear consistent with normal use. No cracks, broken traces, or obvious physical damage are visible. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
