Introducing the 
DocuPrint 900/1300

Printing System Features

The DocuPrint 900/1300 is a family of continuous feed, high-speed non-
impact printing systems. Models include the DocuPrint 900 with a duplex 
print speed of 206 feet per minute and the DocuPrint 1300 with a duplex print 
speed of 300 feet per minute.

Key features of DocuPrint 900/1300 include:

Simplex or duplex printing—prints documents in either simplex or duplex 
mode; duplex printing causes no degradation in speed, because the 
printing system uses two print engines in tandem.

Electron Beam Imaging (EBI) technology—produces consistent high 
quality print images with a resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi) 
interpolated from 300 x 300 dpi.

High volume print production—provides for an 18.20 inch (462 mm) 
print width, producing 900 images/minute (8

½

 x 11”; 2-up format) on the 

DocuPrint 900, and 1300 images/minute on the DocuPrint 1300.

Connectivity—accepts print data in Xerox LCDS or IBM AFPDS format 
via network connection or tape drive.

Memory resident fonts—offers a variety of standard fonts and bar codes, 
which are resident in memory; allows you to define your own fonts and 
bar codes, as necessary. 

Optional post-processing equipment—offers optional in-line connectivity 
to a variety of finishing devices for custom configured processing.
