All models include internal 1000BaseTX (Gigabit Ethernet) as standard.
The internal wireless feature allows the printer to be connected directly to a wireless
LAN. This supports the IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n draft 2.0 standards.

appearance of greater print resolution within the limitation of a set number of dots
per inch (dpi).
The toner darkness setting offers 10 user-selectable settings to balance print
darkness and toner savings. The higher the setting, the darker the print (that is,
level 1 is the lightest). The printers ship with a default setting of 8. Level 8 to level
1 offers up to 50% toner savings, thus reducing the cost of printing. The toner
darkness setting is available through the operator panel under the Quality menu and
also accessible from the print driver.
Because of the printing technology, setting 9 and 10 do not provide darker print
than the default setting of 8.

The InfoPrint 1985 printer resident fonts include support for the following:
Emulation Number of scalable fonts Number of bitmapped fonts
