yield 3,000 pages (20% coverage). To transfer toner to paper, the C720 also uses an integrated transfer belt/ photoconductor, which loads into the top of the printer. Paper Handling

The C720 and C720n ship with one 250-sheet paper tray, while the C720dn ships with an additional 500-sheet paper tray and an automatic duplexing unit. Because of the front-loading configuration of the toner cartridges, there is no front manual feed tray, as found on many color lasers. To compensate for this, the main paper tray can feed transparencies, envelopes, labels, and card stock. Output capacity on all three models is 250 sheets.

The Lexmark C720 is available for a street price of $1,999. The C720n, which features 10/100Base-T Ethernet connectivity and 64 MB of RAM, will be available for $2,399. The C720dn, which includes the automatic duplexing unit and 500-sheet paper tray, ships for $2,799.

J110

The J110, which Lexmark is billing as a ìbusiness classî ink jet printer, appears to be the companyís answer to the HP Business Inkjet 2200, introduced in August 2000. Actually, the J110ís case closely resembles the HP 2000C, the Business Inkjet 2200ís predecessor. Appearances aside, the J110 is primed to compete with not only other ink jets but with color laser printers. It prints faster than both the Business Inkjet 2200 (7.5 ppm in color and 11 ppm monochrome) and the Color LaserJet 4550. The J110, designed for between three and five workgroup users, is a departure for Lexmarkó it uses individual ink cartridges and a replaceable print head, a similar configuration has been used for many years by competitor Canon, and more recently by HP and Xerox. The J110 offers laser-like performance, thanks to fast print speeds, a paper preparation system that prevents ink bleed, and a higher paper capacity.

Errors and Omissions

Last month, we got the nozzle count right but the basic configuration wrong in our description of the print heads on the Xerox ColorgrafX X2 large-format ink jet printer.The Xerox ColorgrafX X2 has six 512-nozzle print heads, one for each color, not 12 256-nozzle heads as we stated.

We dropped three zeros on the chart on page 13 detailing total annual color prints and copies made by IKON’s cus- tomers. The scale for the chart should be millions, not thou- sands.Thus total print/copy volume for IKON’s installed base of color copiers and printers was 1.5 billion in 2000.
