1-4 Introduction
Introduction
Product Overview
This machine is a digital printer/copier that can be used as a stand-alone copier, or it
can be used as a high-speed network printer when connected to the optional printer
controller Image Processor.
This machine can also be used as a print server on a network operating system.
Separate user’s manuals and installation instructions are included with the optional
printer controller device.
Digital technology and memory capability of this machine provide many advantages over
the conventional photocopying process.
In conventional photocopying, a scanned image virtually remains intact as it is
represented on the drum and then copied onto the output media. While many
conventional settings can be made before outputting the copies to effect image
reduction, lens adjustment, image erasure and job store, etc., the conventional
photocopying process cannot transform the image into bits or store image data into
memory.
In this machine, a scanned image is electronically digitized into data bits that are
represented in code form and stored into memory. Stored data can be retrieved from
memory and output in various ways, as controlled by software. Digitized image is
represented as pixels on a screen or as dots per inch (dpi) on hard copy. This machine
resolves image in the copier mode at 400/600 dpi and resolves image in the printer
mode at 600 dpi.
The digital technology of this machine enables you to:
• feed originals only once to make multiple copies, thereby preserving the condition of
originals
• store image in memory and perform Sheet/Cover insertion, Chapter, Combination,
Booklet, Image insert, Book copy, Program job, Mixed original, Repeat, Image shift,
Stamp/Overlay
• enhance photo, complex text image quality, and enhance lighter image
• reduce toner consumption and produce clean copies with Non-image area erase
• organize images into booklet format
• insert images scanned from the platen into a set scanned from the document feeder
• check copying conditions and produce a proof copy before making multiple copied sets
• confirm the current machine status
• select offset-sort, offset-group, staple-sort, folding, or stapling & folding output mode
using optional Finisher (2 Paper Tray/3 Paper Tray)
• set reserve jobs to make copies of different types in succession
• lay stamp, watermark, or scanned image onto copy image
• store image data in HDD (option) for future printing
