• Improved Job Batching.
• Improved Custom Paper feature enables the capability to
optimize the Digital Press imaging parameters for a specific
paper group (defined by paper weight range).
• Media types that belong to a certain group will all be printed
with the same Digital Press imaging parameters.
• The improved Dry Ink/Toner monitoring system allows you to
view the percentage of Dry Ink/Toner left in each cartridge,
making it easier to know when to order a cartridge.
• Improved gray tones.
• Two Black Dry Ink/Toner Cartridges because black is the color
used most frequently. This provides more longevity and fewer
consumable changes.
