CHAPTER I FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
1. FEATURES
This printer has the following features:
UP to 1200dpi Resolution and 10ppm Printing Speed
True 600 dots per inch (dpi) with microfine toner and ten pages per
minute (ppm) printing speed (A4 or Letter size paper). The printer
also supports 1200 (H) x 600 (V) dots per inch (dpi) resolution for
Windows DIB graphics. (It is recommended to add memory when
printing in 1200 x 600dpi mode.)
Enhanced Printing Performance and User-Friendly Operation for Windows
The dedicated printer driver and TrueType TM -compatible fonts for
Microsoft ® Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 are available on the floppy
disk supplied with your printer. You can easily install them into your
Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports our
unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows
applications and allows you to set various printer settings including
toner saving mode, custom paper size, sleep mode, gray scale
adjustment, resolution, and so forth. You can easily setup these print
options in the graphic dialog boxes through the Printer Setup menu
within the Windows Control Panel.
High Resolution Control & Advanced Photoscale Technology
High resolution control (HRC) technology provides clear and crisp
printouts. Use this function to get smooth text print quality. Advanced
photoscale Technology enables the printer to print graphics in 256
grayscale levels, producing nearly photographic quality. Use this
function when you want to print photographic images.
Two Interfaces
This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface and a
Universal Serial Bus (USB).
If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel
interface, you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with
the industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface.
The Universal Serial Bus Interface is an interface which allows the
printer to connect to multiple peripheral devices.
The printer status monitor program can show the current status of
your printer. When printing, an animated dialog box appears on your
computer screen to show the current printing process. If an error
occurs, a dialog box will appear to let you know what to correct. For
example: when your printer is out of paper, the dialog box will display
“Paper Empty” and instructions for the corrective action to take.
Enhanced Memory Management
The printer provides its own data compression technology in its printer
hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can
automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the
printer's memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full
page 600dpi graphic and text data, including large fonts, with the
printer's standard memory.
