CHAPTER I PRODUCT OUTLINE 1. FEATURES This printer has the following features: 2400 x 600 dpi Class Resolution The printer prints pages with a resolution of 600 dots per inch (dpi) as default. It also provides higher quality printout which is the equivalent of 2400 x 600 dpi resolution when using HRC or CAPT. High Speed Color Laser Printing The printer allows crisp printing in 24 bit brilliant color. The printer prints at a speed of 16 pages per minute in monochrome mode and 4 pages per minute in full color mode. The controller utilizes a high speed 32-bit RISC microprocessor and special hardware chips, which provides a very fast processing speed. High Resolution Control (HRC) The high resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp printouts and improves even the 600 dpi resolution. This mode is effective when printing text data. Color Advanced Photoscale Technology (CAPT) The printer can print graphics in 256 shades for each color in HP® color printer PCL5C™ and BR-Script level 2 emulations, producing nearly photographic quality. This mode is effective when printing photographic images. Maintenance-Free Toner Cartridge A toner cartridge can print up to 10,000 (Black) and 6,000 (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) single-sided pages at 5% coverage. The one piece, easy-to-replace toner cartridges do not require difficult maintenance. Universal Media Cassette This printer loads paper automatically from the media cassette. Since the media cassette is a universal type, a number of different sizes of paper can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the media cassette. Three Interfaces This printer has a high speed IEEE 1284 compliant bi-directional parallel interface, an RS-232C serial interface, and a modular input/output (MIO) compatible interface. If the application software supports the bi-directional parallel interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with the industry-standard IEEE 1284 bi-directional parallel interface. The RS-232C serial interface is an industry standard so that you can connect it to any computer using a standard serial cable. The MIO interface allows you to install a commercial MIO-compatible card. If the card is installed, this interface port can be used for features such as networking or printer sharing. I-1
