1.1 Features
1.1.1 Feature
LBP5000
1. Smallest Color LBP
The machine has the smallest body of all Canon color LBPs.
2. Electrostatic Transportation Belt (ETB)
The machine uses an ETB for movement of media and transfer of images. The direct transfer of color images from the photosensitive drum to media has enable
a significant increase in printing speed.
3. Four consecutive drum method (Inline method)
The machine uses a 4-drum construction, in which 4 toner cartridges are arranged in a straight line for one-shot transfer of 4 colors. Compared with the
conventional rotary construction, it brings about a bigger reduction in transfer time and a bigger increase in printing speed (full color).
4. Integrated Laser Scanner Unit
The machine uses a 4-beam/2-mirror mechanism in which 2 laser beams (colors) are directed to each polygon mirror. Thanks to the elimination of the need for
separate laser scanner units commonly found in a 4-drum construction, the machine is less subject to color displacement and has a smaller laser unit.
5. On-Demand Fixing
The machine uses an on-demand fixing method combined with a ceramic heater so far mostly used in a mono-color printer. The fact has led to a shorter warm-
up period and lower energy consumption.
6. Support of Various Media Types
The machine permits the use of transparencies (mono-color prints only), label sheets, envelopes, and postcard-size sheets through both its cassette and manual
feeder.
Moreover, it also permits the use of heavy paper (163 g/m2 max.) in its cassette.
7. High-Performance Printing System (CAPT)
The machine draws on the latest developments in CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), which promises high performance in a Windows operating
system. Thanks to the technology, data processing usually assigned to the printer is now fully undertaken by a PC to take full advantage of the use of a PC for
higher printing speed. Its added benefits include the ability to process a large volume of data without adding memory to the printer.
8. Ease of Maintenance
The toner cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) each consist of a toner casing and a drum constructed as a single entity. This way, there is no need for toner
replenishment or drum replacement, which could well soil the hands of the user or take up his/her time. Mere replacement of the appropriate toner cartridge is
enough to keep the machine in good working condition.
The access cover is found at the front of the machine so that both cartridge replacement and jam removal are easy. In terms of printing processes, all (pickup,
development, transfer, fixing) take place at the front of the machine, resulting in a highly simple paper path.

5. Duplex Unit Installed as Standard
LBP5100 is supplied with the duplex unit. Therefore, you can automatically perform 2-sided printing with paper (A4, Legal, Letter, and Foolscap size) loaded in
the manual feed slot or paper cassette. By doing so, you can save paper and make the file space more efficient.
