CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCCTION
Machine Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface
The printer driver can monitor your machines status using bi­directional parallel communications. A high quality bi-directional parallel printer cable is recommended.
The machine status monitor program can show the current status of your machine. When printing, the animated dialog box appears on your computer screen to show the current printing process. If an error occurs, a dialog box will appear to let you know what to correct. For example: when your machine is out of paper, the dialog box will display “No Paper” and instructions for the proper corrective action.
Enhanced Memory Management
The machine provides its own data compression technology in the machine hardware and the supplied printer driver software, which can automatically compress graphic data and font data efficiently into the machine’s memory. You can avoid memory errors and print most full page 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the machine’s standard memory.
Environment-Friendly
Economy Printing Mode
This feature will cut your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to obtain draft copies for proof-reading. You can select from two economy modes—25% toner saving and 50% toner saving—through the Windows printer driver supplied with your machine.
Sleep Mode (Power Save Mode)
When the machine is not used for a certain amount of time, sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption. The machine consumes less than 13 W when in sleep mode.
Low Running Cost
Since the toner cartridge is separate from the drum unit, you need to replace only the toner cartridge after approximately 2,400 pages, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly. (Some models are
supplied with a starter toner cartridge which must be replaced after 1,000 pages.)
The actual number of pages printed with each toner cartridge may vary depending on your average type of print job.
