Description
The Color Jetprinter is a tabletop four-color inkjet printer for draft or
letter quality applications in an attended PC attach environment.
This printer uses four printheads with 64 nozzles each to produce
both letter-quality and draft output.
Graphics resolution is available up to 360 dots-per-inch (dpi),
depending on the printer menu selection and application. The printer
prints in one direction only when printing graphic images.
You may use cut-sheet paper up to 297 mm (11.7 in.) by 432 mm
(17.0 in.).
Coated Paper
Special coated papers are recommended for best printing results.
Included with each supply of paper is a special brown cleaning sheet
called
maintenance paper . After printing a number of pages, print
the nozzle test on this paper in order to clean the pickup and feed
rollers.
After 2000 pages, wipe the platen and inside of the print cover to
remove any ink mist that may accumulate and prevent staining of the
print paper.
The capacity of the paper tray is approximately 100 sheets of coated
letter-size paper. Envelopes and postcards can be fed from the
paper tray as well.
An easy-to-use operator panel on the front of the printer provides
control of print resolution and style.
