Canon 3260 I. FEATURES, 1 - 1

I. FEATURES

1. High speed printing

Equipped with Motorola's PowerPC 603e, the printer is capable of printing about 32 pages per

minute (A4/Letter).

2. Superior print quality

Combination of high resolution printing at 600 DPI and the use of super fine toner offers clear

print images.

3. Duplex printing

With the optional duplexing unit installed, the printer can print on both sides of paper.

4. Continuous printing

With the optional paper deck installed in the printer in addition to the standard equipped multi-

purpose tray and upper and lower cassettes, up to about 3,100 sheets of paper (75g/m2) can be

loaded, enabling continuous printing in large volume.

5. 6-way paper pick-up

Optional 2x500 sheet paper deck and envelope feeder in addition to the standard equipped

multi-purpose tray and upper and lower cassettes offer 6-way paper pick-up. The printer can

change the paper pick-up source automatically according to the paper type in addition to the

paper size.

6. Delivery

With the optional staple stacker installed in addition to the standard face-down tray, up to 2,300

sheets of A4 or Letter size paper (75g/m2) can be delivered (simple stacking).

7. Various delivery methods

With the optional sorter attached to the printer, paper can be delivered in 4 modes: mail box, job

separator, stacker and collator.

8. Memory saving technology

Memory Reduction Technology accomplishes printing at 600 DPI with standard equipped mem-

ory (8 MB). It also decreases errors, such as memory over flow, and provides stable printing.

9. Energy saving/Toner saving

The printer cuts off the power to the fixing heater when it remains idle for a specified length of

time. It can also reduce toner consumption by selecting the economy mode to print light images

with less toner.

10.Automatic emulation switching

The printer supports Hewlett-Packard's enhanced PCL6. With the optional PostScript ROM

DIMM (Canon Translator Module A-72) installed, the printer can automatically switch between

the standard PCL and Adobe®PostScript®3™.

11.Automatic interface switching

In addition to the standard built-in bicentronics parallel port, optional interfaces can be

installed in the printer. The printer can automatically switch between the parallel and expan-

sion interface according to which interface port the data sent from the host computer enters.
