Introducing the Printer

This section gives you a general overview of the printer, including highlights and optional features.

General Description

The IBM Network Color Printer is a midrange workgroup printer. It can produce single-sided black and white prints at a rate of up to 12 impressions per minute (IPM) and full-color prints at a rate of up to 3 IPM. The printer has a cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK), full-color laser processor that prints 16 gray levels per color. The printer prints PostScript jobs in Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX environments.

Highlights

Some of the highlights of the printer are:

•Toner cartridges

The printer uses 4 separate color toner cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). When a toner cartridge is used up, you can replace it with a new one of the same color.

•Flexible color range

The 4 color toner cartridges offer output in full color, a single color only (monocolor), or true black (using the black toner cartridge).

•High resolution

The printer has a print resolution of 600 × 600 dots per inch, which results in laser-sharp output in full color.

•High print speed

The printer delivers up to 3 pages per minute in full color or up to 12 pages per minute in monocolor (black only).

•Flexible paper handling

The universal paper cassette in tray 1 accepts letter, legal, A4, and JIS B5 paper sizes. It can hold approximately 250 sheets (at 80 g/m2) of plain paper. The auxiliary tray accepts transparencies as well as plain paper. To increase the volume of paper, you can add an optional tray 2 paper feeder.

Note: This printer does only simplex (single-side) printing. Duplex printing is not available.
