Remarks
-----
Shorter Warm-up Time
Warm-up time is made shorter from the current time of 9'30'' into the new time of 9'. However there
is no modification of the catalogue, since the catalogue has already mentioned the warm-up time as
9' with the current time of 9'30'' round-downed.
New Technology 'Enhanced Screen Limos'
The further progress has made in Limos (Laser Intensity Modulation Systems) technology, and the
new Limos is incorporated into the new FC70 firmware. As you are aware the current FC70 detects
type of image area and uses two types of Limos separately in order to reproduce text more sharply
and halftone more smoothly.
-'Limos 1' for the text edge area
-'Screen Limos' for gradation and halftone area
The Screen Limos has improved this time as 'Enhanced Screen Limos'. The new, 'Enhanced Screen
Limos' realize more faithful reproduction with finer granularity and smoother gradation especially in
highlighted or lower image density area. Of course, the 'Enhanced Screen Limos' succeeds in
pursuing and completing the Limos Concept; 'Reproduce Gradation without sacrificing the
Resolution'.
Image Stabilization Function
Image Stabilization Function works automatically in the middle of multiple copying in
order to keep continuous and stable image quality. (at every 24-48 full-color copies, and
56-112 B&W copies ; the number of copies are depend on a paper size and a feeding direction)
FC70 interrupts copying for approximately half a minute and then start automatically.

Improvement of Productivity
[ Current ]
Multiple copying speed is reduced to nearly half as maximum engine speed under the following
conditions. Current copy speed is 3cpm (Full Color Copy)/11cpm (B&W Copy).
-1. ADF-on, ACS-on & APS-on
-2. ADF-on, ACS-on & AE-on
-3. Overlay mode in Editor
[ New ]
FC70 makes multiple copies at nearly maximum engine speed even under the above condition. New
copy speed is 6cpm (Full Color Copy)/23cpm (B&W Copy).
The message panel shows only ‘Please wait’
interrupting.
Current
Max. 3cpm/11cpm
Note ) Multiple copying speed remains at half level when under the following mode ;
1. Manual feed copying
2. Magnification ration ratio is less than 0.995 or large than 2.000
MAX. 6cpm/23cpm

Improvement of Productivity in Duplex mode
Multiple Copying Limitation
For example, if you want to make multiple sets of two-sided copies from one-sided originals
of A4C (Letter C) at 1.000 magnification ratio,
[ Current ]
You have to set up AE-off, AMS-off, ACS-off (default is on), APS-off (default is on).
[ New ]
Max. 99 sets of duplexing copies can be made through ADF, and 2 sets without utilizing ADF.
Productivity in Duplex Mode
New
Current
Duplexing copies are
processed one by one.
Photo Mode
Combination of Functions
[ New ]
Following functions are also become available in Photo Mode.
Digital Art :
Mono color (Mono color or Sepia color effect copy from Color or B&W photo original)l
Mirror Image (T-shirt print application)l
Color Adjust-Professional Adjust (Yellow level can be independently adjusted.)l
B&W copying mode (B&W copy from Color or B&W photo original : Black Copy key should be l
selected when using this mode)
Duplexing copies are processed two by two if the
copy size is A4C (Letter C) and the productivity
will be double from a current one.
Digital Art Creates from Custom sized original
[ Current ]
FC70 is equipped with the fixed sized original sensors which are in common with the Analog CS Pro
series, therefore, it is difficult to make a creative copy from custom sized original.
[ New ]
Custom Size Input Mode is newly added into the following functions to improve ease of use.
