Product Descriptions Overview 13
1.1 Overview
AcuLaser C2000 is an A4 non-impact color page printer driven by a laser and
electrophotographic technologies. It has a resolution of 600/300 dpi and print
speed is 5 ppm (A4/LT color)/20 ppm (A4/LT B/W). It is also equipped with
AcuLaser Color Halftoning as its full color technology.
AcuLaser C1000 is a new host-based color page printer which uses the same
engine as AcuLaser C2000. It is equipped with CPGI as its full color
technology.
Thanks to use of the same engine, AcuLaser C1000 uses the same optional
units (Duplex Printing Unit and Lower Cassette) as used with AcuLaser C2000.
Engine Features
