High Productivity
business potential.
Capable of printing speed of 65 ppm (A4) for both color and monochrome. The peak instant response capability broadens your digital printing
Toner and paper can be replenished during printing, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. Additionally, the system is capable of a maximum monthly output of 300,000 sheets to give you both speed and durability essential for a production printer.
Toner & paper replenishment during printing
High Durability & Reliability
The system features a highly robust frame and a box type two level structured chassis to prevent warping of the main body. Enhanced rigidly of each of the components provides the system with the durability and stability ideal for a production printer.
High stiffness double layer frame
Excellent Front to Back, Page to Page Registration
Our newly-developed ADU (Automatic Duplex Unit) equipped with a wide range of image adjusting functions including paper-edge detection and slanted fold detection enables realization of outstanding front/back print position precision. Additionally, the ADU is furnished with a front/back magnification adjustment function to compensate for paper expansion and contraction. The magnification adjustment function uses a high-speed polygon mirror to enhance 2-side printing productivity.
Newly developed ADU
Automatic Inline Color Adjustment
Our newly-developed stabilized adjustment function controls color fluctuations occurring during continuous printing or after re-commencement of printing. The density pattern is created on the intermediate transfer belt and read by the optical sensor. The result is fed back to the laser power or dot formation and color fluctuations adjusted. Additionally, the CYMK print position is also adjusted on the intermediate transfer belt. Color discrepancies are instantly adjusted to provide high-precision registration.
Intermediate transfer belt
Paper Handling
Capable of handling paper thicknesses of up to 300g/m2. All paper trays are capable of handling the maximum paper size (330 X 487mm) and addition of the optional high capacity 2-level paper supply unit ensures a maximum paper-feed capacity of 7,500 sheets. The system is also furnished with an air-assist mechanism and a double-paper feed detection sensor to ensure stable paper feed performance ideal for a production machine.
