1.1 Features

This printer is a non-impact color page printer that takes advantage of a laser
and electrophotographic technologies. It provides 1200/600/300 dpi of
resolution and 16 ppm (A4/LT) of printing speed for both color and
monochrome printing. The main features of the printer are as follows:
ENGINE FEATURES
1. A4 tandem engine, a high-speed engine which printing speed is 16 PPM
for both color and monochrome printing (when printing A4/LT).
Engine for True 1200 dpi of high resolution and full-color printing (however
printing speed is reduced by half).
2. The Duplex Print Unit is equipped as standard. Special types of paper such
as thick paper, OHP sheets (transparency), label sealing sheets, and
envelopes cannot be printed in duplex.
3. By using high quality plain paper, higher quality printing is possible.
4. Capable of printing on thick paper and OHP sheets for laser printers.
5. Provides easy maintenance of a color laser printer. The users can replace
all consumables.
Toner cartridges (C, M, Y, K)
Photoconductor Unit
Transfer Unit
Fuser Unit
6. Standard paper feed devices are the following 2-bin; the MP Tray
(up to 100 sheets) and the Lower Cassette (up to 500 sheets, A4/LT).
By adding the two optional Lower Cassette (up to 500 sheets * 2 cassettes,
A4/LT), a maximum of 1600 sheets can be fed from the 4-bin in total.
7. Standard paper eject is up to 250 sheets into the Face-down tray.
