The Optra Color 1200 is a network color printer that uses
electrophotographic technology to deliver high quality
images, presentation graphics, line art, and text. Its fast
output—up to 12 pages per minute (ppm) for both four-
color and monochrome print jobs—makes it the ideal
solution for businesses where performance is critical.
The printer’s flexible design allows it to support a variety
of printing needs. For example, if you print a mixture of
color and mono (black only) jobs, you can choose to maxi-
mize print speed or maximize supplies yield. If you need
the printer to match the color process used in a particular
application, you can select RGB or CMYK color correc-
tions. Or you can adjust the printed colors to more closely
represent the colors on your computer display.
A variety of connectivity options make the Optra
Color 1200 an excellent choice for all types of system envi-
ronments. You can attach up to two internal adapters to
support network configurations requiring Ethernet,
Token-Ring, LocalTalk, serial, infrared, or additional par-
allel ports. You can even attach a class 1 fax modem to the
optional serial port and receive faxes directly to your
printer.
The printer also offers flexible paper handling. It supports
a wide variety of paper sizes, from A5 to A3 and 11x17 in.,
and has a standard multipurpose feeder that makes it easy
to print on envelopes, transparencies, labels, card stock,
and non-standard size paper. You can also add up to two
optional drawers, which can increase the printer’s total
paper capacity to 850 sheets.
