Printer Features

The printer provides the following standard features:
Non-impact/electrophotographic page printer
This printer is a non-impact page printer which employs the same
electrophotographic system as conventional copiers. It meets the needs of users
who wish to produce high-quality prints rapidly and quietly.
High performance-to-cost ratio
Print speed is 20 pages per minute on continuous letter size and A4 size forms
(long edge fed). The low hardware and consumable costs offer higher cost
efficiency than existing competing brands.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) exposure system for enhanced printing
resolution
Exposure LEDs are aligned widthwise at a density equivalent to the printing
resolution of 300 dpi (300 dots per 25.4 mm) and exposure is executed one line
at a time. The printer therefore achieves a higher printing accuracy than do laser
printers of equivalent resolution that use a mechanical scanning system based on
a rotary mirror.
Two-component developer used for high print quality
The two-component developer that is employed contains a synthetic carrier,
which is resin-coated to appropriately weaken its magnetic attraction, and a
magnetic toner. This assures that the toner properly adheres to the photoreceptor
drum surface in accordance with the strength of the electric and magnetic fields
generated between the photoreceptor drum and developing roller surface.
Supports a wide variety of paper sizes
Fanfold paper (continuous forms) with a width of 7 to 16 in (177.8 to 406.4 mm)
can be used. The built-in automatic paper parking mechanism allows the printer
to cut the paper at the perforation, eject the printed portion of the paper, then
retract the unprinted sheet to the starting print position.
Flash fusion system which works on any paper type
A xenon (Xe) lamp based non-contact flash toner fixing system is employed,
enabling printing on various types of special paper such as mailing and other
adhesive labels. Further, the use of a very simple paper transport system permits
printing onto thick paper having weights up to 44 lb. bond or 125 lb. tag and label
stock.
