Chapter 1 General Description; Features - Canon GP215 Service Manual

I. FEATURES
1. Establishes a new set of standards for "high-quality imaging" at a resolution of 1200 × × 600 dpi
(equivalent), which is the world's first.
• In copier mode, the resolution is 600 × × 600 dpi when reading and 1200 × × 600 dpi when writ-
ing.
• In fax reception mode, the resolution is 600 × × 600 dpi (hyper genesis smoothing).
• In printer mode, the resolution is 1200 × × 600 dpi (new super smoothing technology).
2. Ease of operation and productivity from an integrated design.
• The display is a large LCD touch panel for clear viewing and simple operation. (The display
intensity may be varied.)
• The on-going fax communication status may be indicated while in copier mode.
The display indicates the status (reception/transmission) job number, fax number, party num-
ber, and number of processing pages at intervals of 1 sec.
3. Power-saving, space saving, and ozone-less considerations for the office and the environment.
• The on-demand fixing method warms up the machine quickly so that sleep mode may be
made use of without the risk of wasting time.
• The wait time is 8 sec or less. (at power-on on the control panel; 8.6 sec or less if the main
switch is used)
• The machine is appreciably quieter than the existing models for a better office environment.
• With the help of its power-saving design, the power consumption is 4 W or less* in sleep
mode (about 1/25 of existing Canon models) and 57 W or less** in standby (about 1/4 of exist-
ing Canon models).
• The roller charging method has enabled ozone-less operation.
• The width is only 58.5 cm. With the MDC function built into the machine, more space is saved.
All additional copier, fax, printer, and network functions may be built into the machine with-
out affecting the machine size.
4. GP215 Series with duplexing functions
• As many as four models are available—with combinations of copier, copier/fax, and copi-
er/printer.
• The copier/fax model comes standard with an ADF-F1 or an RDF-G1.
