Preface

The DEClaser 2200 plus printer uses electrophotographic laser technology

to print text and graphics at speeds up to 8 pages/minute with a density of

300 x 300 dots/inch. The printer consists of an engine (print mechanism)

and a controller (formatter) that are driven from host-based software to

provide shared printer access from the Digital network. The printer can

serve as a personal desktop printer or as a shared group printer, and is

designed to print from 5,000 to 12,000 prints per month.
Some of the features of the DEClaser 2200 plus printer include:
• Duplex (two-sided) printing capability
• Two cassette trays with automatic switching capability
• Capacity for two (optional) external Digital ANSI-compliant font

cartridges, emulation cartridges, or PostScript cartridges.

• Font downline loading capability
• Support for both serial and parallel interfaces
• Convenient user maintenance (one replaceable supply cartridge)
• Ability to print on envelopes
• Manual feeding capability
The following are some of the options available for the DEClaser 2200 plus

printer:
• User-installable memory expansion (up to 3 MB)
• User-installable emulation cartridges
