CHAPTER 1
I. FEATURES
1 . High-speed printing
Although compact in design, the Printer is a high-speed printer capable of generating 20 pages per
minute.
2 . Various sources of paper with the addition of options
In addition to the cassette and the multifeeder that come as standard, the Printer may be com-
bined with three 250-sheet paper feeders (PF-65; hereafter, paper feeder) to enable 5-way pickup,
each source with different types of paper.
3 . Continuous printing of large volumes of work
As many as three option paper feeders may be installed to the Printer. Combined with the stand-
ard cassette and multifeeder, a maximum of about 1,100 sheets of paper (64 g/m
2
) may be accom-
modated for continuous, large-volume printing work.
4 . Power saving, toner saving design
The printer is designed to enter sleep mode (power saving mode) after remaining in standby mode
for a specific period of time, thereupon automatically cutting the power to the fixing heater and
ultimately limiting the total consumption of power.
The printer is also able to print in toner save mode, in which it prints using less toner (lighter
output) to save on toner.
5 . Auto interface switching mechanism
In addition to the parallel interface (Centronics compatible) and USB (V1.0 slave only) that come
as standard, the printer allows the connection of a build-in print server (option; 10Base-T/100Base-
TX). Depending on which interface board to use, the Printer will automatically switch among
parallel, USB, and Ethernet (option) interfaces.
6 . Auto emulation switching
This printer supports the Hewlett-Packard’fs PCL5e and PCL-XL printer language. Also, Adobe
PostScript 3 can be provided by installing the optional Canon Adobe PostScript 3 Module A-65.
This enables auto emulation switching for PCL and PostScript based on the received data.
