• Flexible interfaces with automatic switching: –USB – High-speed, bi-directional parallel (IEEE-1284) – Industry standard network connectivity via internal network

interface card.

• Environmentally friendly: the advanced power save mode minimizes power consumption and the separate toner and drum design cuts down on waste.

• Automatic color balance adjustment: in order to ensure consistent output at all times, the machine automatically performs a color check when the machine is switched on, when the top cover is opened and then closed, and adjusts the color balance automatically. It can even be set to adjust the color balance during long print runs.

• Auto media detect: detects the weight of the media being fed through the printer then automatically adjusts the fusing temperature, speed (if necessary) and transfer voltage to ensure correct fusing and print quality.
