PLEASE USERS WITH AN EASY-TO-USE,
INTUITIVE INTERFACE

The InfoPrint 1612 Express offers the flexibility
to change most printer settings from your soft­ware application, the printer driver or the
printer’s operator interface.

The printer operator interface has a two-line by
16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), six
buttons and one indicator light. Use the but­tons to open a menu, scroll through a list of
values, change printer settings and respond to
printer messages. The LCD operator panel pres­ents more than 50 easy-to-understand mes­sages such as “close door,” “toner low,” or
“load manual feeder.”

Robust, highly reliable network printing

for your business

From the operator interface, you can select
menu items and associated values to help
print your jobs successfully. Select the print
media using the Paper Menu. Use the
Finishing Menu to define how the printer
delivers output—collated, with borders, or
multi-page images on one page.

OBTAIN NETWORKING FLEXIBILITY

The InfoPrint 1612 Express offers flexible
networking options—including wireless.
With wireless capability, you can relocate
printers quickly and easily without the cost
and delay associated with physical cabling.
Boost the productivity of mobile workers by
allowing them convenient access to the
printer on a highly secure wireless LAN.

EXPAND THE RANGE OF PAPER SIZES
AND TYPES

The most commonly used media can be
loaded in the standard automatic 250-sheet
paper feeder. The second paper source, the
single-sheet manual feeder, conveniently
located at the front of the printer, can be
used for special paper, transparencies,
envelopes, paper labels, card stock, or index
stock.

Add the optional 550-sheet drawer
to increase paper options, reduce interven­tion and improve user productivity. The
250- and 550-sheet drawers can be
adjusted to accommodate legal or folio size
paper.

The easy-to-access output bin on top of the
printer holds up to 150 sheets. The
single-sheet rear exit provides a straight­through paper path to help reduce curling
and potential jams—an especially important
feature for specialty media.

INCREASE TEAM PRODUCTIVITY

Print multiple page images on one page to
save time, save paper and save storage
space. Use the “Booklet” setting to print
multiple pages in booklet form without
having to re-format your document. Create
posters without a wide-format, specialty
printer by printing a single image across
several pages, which can be combined to
create one large image.

ADD PRINTING CAPABILITIES

Use optional flash memory to print water­marks or overlays—such as company logos
or letterheads—decorative borders and sim­ulated preprinted forms. Also use flash
memory to enable third-party solutions and
custom fonts.

MANAGE THE PRINTER

The network model InfoPrint 1612 Express
has a resident Web page, which you can
access from your browser. The resident Web
page features a real-time status window,
and it can report printer and supplies sta­tus, printer settings, e-mail status alerts and
printing statistics. This management tool
also provides a “mirror” of the messages
that await you at the printer on the opera­tor panel.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

The InfoPrint 1612 Express is shipped with a
setup guide to facilitate easy installation.
Designed for easy replacement, the toner
and photoconductor cartridges are the only
supply items. The two-piece imaging system
can help keep your supplies cost low—you
pay only for the piece you need when you
need it.

MAKE A TIMELY CHANGE

With features generally found in higher
priced printers, the InfoPrint 1612 Express is
a perfect choice to replace older printers or
expensive inkjet printers while you improve
speed and quality and save money.

KEEP COSTS DOWN

The new “Eco-mode” option is designed to
reduce power consumption along with
noise pollution and reduce unnecessary
paper usage.
