Token-Ring

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 support an optional Token-Ring 4/16 adapter in addition to the standard Ethernet attachment. However, only one attachment, Ethernet or Token-Ring, can be active at a time.

Control Panel

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 have a full-color 9-inch LCD (D-STN), 640 x 480 dot control panel. It consists of an LCD touch-screen, hard keys, and colored LEDs for status.

Two languages can be loaded into the control panel and the operator may select between the two. If Japanese language is loaded, then only one language can be loaded.

Paper Handling

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 come with 3,000-sheet input capacity standard. This capability includes three input drawers. An optional 4,550- sheet High Capacity Feeder with three drawers is available, which increases the maximum input capacity to 7,550 sheets. Duplex capability comes standard with both printers.

Custom paper sizes are supported in trays 2 and 3. Custom size is 148 mm x 210 mm (SEF) minimum (5.9 in. x 8.3 in.) and 297 mm x 432 mm (SEF) maximum (11.8 in. x 17 in.). Custom paper sizes run at half speed and are supported in PostScript, IPDS, and PCL 6, but not PCL 5.

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 print the front side of duplex pages first. This means preprinted forms that will be used for both simplex and duplex jobs can be loaded in a single tray and used effectively with no extra steps required.

A finisher with stitching capabilities comes standard with both printers. It has a proof bin with 500-sheet capacity (A4/Letter) and a shift bin with 3,000-sheet capacity (A4/Letter). Single page jobs cannot be shifted (offset) and jobs cannot be stapled and shifted. If a job
