Traditional Dual-Pass Duplexing
•
Requires media to be turned in the printer paper path and
fused twice to print the second side of a duplex document
•
In most cases, completed sheets per minute when
duplexing decrease by 40-50 percent
•
More susceptible to inexact registration due to excessive
paper movement that occurs when imaging the front
image separately from the back
•
More prone to paper shrinkage with two passes
•
Inconsistent quality because of electrostatic imaging
process and degradation of quality-critical components
like corona wires and developer
•
Complex paper paths limit the variety of media that can be
run without frequent paper jams.
•
Engine speed slows down for multiple tray pulls and work-
flows that require duplexing with simplex tabs and
different paper sizes, substantially reducing overall
performance and throughput
•
Not every drawer supports every form size
•
Xerographic-based imaging systems require scheduled
maintenance cycles and yield lower recommended
monthly volumes
•
Constant preventive maintenance cycles require that
backup systems be available during servicing or produc-
tivity will be negatively impacted
•
High fusing temperatures causes stress on the paper,
paper curl and difficulties in finishing, negatively
impacting printer performance
•
Many legacy and even some new systems rely on propri-
etary file formats for image and/or job ticket files
•
Difficulty in fully integrating with other internal or external
software and/or hardware solutions
Océ Simultaneous Duplexing
•
High-speed performance at 250 letter-size prints per minute;
160 legal prints per minute and 132 duplex ledger-size prints
per minute
•
Up to 70 percent faster than other devices
•
Gemini Instant Duplex technology delivers the best paper regis-
tration in the industry at .5mm and front–to-back image
registration of .1mm
•
Offset-like quality
