Features

This is a digital color copier employing a 4-step tandem copy process, which is capable of high-speed full-color copying. It incorporates a display with a touch panel and menu keys that graphically represent copier functions. As a result, anybody can make clear-looking copies quickly and easily. This machine also has the following convenient features, functions and options.

The full-color copying speed is 31 copies (LT) per minute. The resolution of both scanning and reading realizes a high-quality full-color image with 600 dpi and 256 shades of gradation for each color by the proprietary 4 beam laser unit. The 9.5 seconds for the first copy output marks the fastest speed among copiers of a similar class. You can make copies pleasantly in no time. The warm-up time is drastically shortened to approximately 4 minutes. Electronic sorting improves both color and black-and-white copying productivity. OHP film feeding is available from the drawer. Comes with rich editing functions such as trimming, masking and image repeat. Loading the page memory and hard disk as standard equipment enables 2 in 1 / 4 in 1, electronic

sorting and magazine sorting, etc.

A fixing system with less oil reduces the amount of oil stuck to the paper and consequently produces OHP-film copies of good permeability. Just by simply replacing the cartridge, you can add toner and you do not soil your hands. Since the paper is fed in straight, any paper jams can be cleared easily. A wide variety of media from thin paper (17lb.) to thick paper (104lb.cover), sticker labels, OHP films, etc. is acceptable. A wide range of paper sizes from ST-R to Full Bleed (12”x18”) is acceptable. The image quality technology offers up to 999 successive stable copy images. Installing an optional finisher offers quick sorting such as stapling, magazine sorting and hole punching (optional) of copies automatically. Installing a finisher with an optional saddle stitching function attached allows you to select the saddle stitching mode which will automatically staple the center of the document just like a book. Two types of controllers (optional) can be connected to the copier externally or internally in order to make printers and scanners available. Comes with the ‘energy saving mode’ which can lower the fuser temperature to save the power consumption while the copier is not being used. The ‘off-mode’ will automatically turn the copier off when it is not used for a specified period of time, and the ‘sleep mode’ can maintain the minimum power consumption when the optional printer is in use (waiting) while the copier is not being used.
