Basic capabilities
New features
Some of the basic capabilities you should know about before
operating the Digital Press, are:
• Each paper tray holds 2000 sheets of 24 lb. (90 g/m
2
) paper.
Load paper in the tray up to the Max fill line
• Supports paper weights from 60 g/m
2
to 300 g/m
2
• Print Image Quality Assurance Area of 305 x 488 mm
• Supports paper sizes from 7.2 to 19.2 inches (182 to 488 mm)
• You can feed any substrate from any paper tray
• Dry Ink/Toner cartridges can be replaced while the Digital
Press is running, without interrupting a job
Here are some of the new and improved features of the Digital
Press.
• New User Interface with a more user-friendly “look and feel.”
• Constant fuser temperature contributes to faster print speeds
for all substrates and improves productivity print speeds for
mixed paper jobs.
• The New Registration Technology (NRT), significantly
improves image quality, registration, and also contributes to
the increase of print speeds.
• Digital Press resolution of 2400 x 2400 x 1 dpi.
• 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.

indicated by the arrow) as equivalent to the seam side when
loading the paper.
1. Pull out the tray slowly until it stops.
2. Load the correct size paper into the tray in the correct
feeding orientation.
• Load the paper seam side (the side on which the ream
of paper is sealed) up in all the trays.
