Newly Employed Technology

Item Content Remark

Technology

1 LED printhead employed

2 Oil-less fusing system employed

Employment of the 4bit LED provides 16­gradation expressions for each of YMCK.

Free from mechanical noises which are
produced from the unit such as an LSU.
Printing is started immediately without
waiting for stabilization of the polygon
motor speed.

Lower power consumption than an LSU.

Development of a new wax-free toner

The wax-free fusing system provides a
simplified structure and improved paper
feed capability.

Notes and remarks can be put on a copy
image similar to normal page.
