Introduction
Memory saving technology
Memory Reduction Technology accomplishes 1200 
× 1200 dpi printing with only 4
MB of memory for A4 or Letter simplex printing. Complex page data is compressed
to optimize available resources.
Paper handling
The standard paper cassette holds 250 sheets of paper while the Multi-Purpose tray
holds about 100 sheets of standard paper. The tray can hold a variety of media for
automatic feeding and operate as a manual feed station.
In addition, there is an optional feature to greatly increase your printing capacity: a 250
Sheet Paper Feed Unit PF-32.
Energy saving
The on-demand fusing technology of the printer provides improved energy efficiency.
Because of this power saving feature, the printer meets the guidelines for the
International E
NERGY
 S
TAR
 Program.
Reducing toner consumption
To save toner, you can also select the economy mode to print rough drafts with less
toner. The printed page is much lighter, similar to the draft mode found on many dot
matrix printers.
Interface features
The printer has two standard IEEE 1284 compatible parallel interfaces. One supports
ECP and the other supports the Compatible/Nibble protocol. With the optional adapter
attached, third-party network module can be installed.
Typefaces
The printer comes with 45 scalable typefaces in 14 typeface families (Agfa 45
MicroType fonts) and 27 additional TrueType fonts (barcode and OCR fonts), all
compatible with application software supporting Microsoft Windows. In addition, 9
bitmapped typefaces of the Line Printer family are also included. The printer uses the
Universal Font Scaling Technology (UFST) for outline fonts, provided under license
from Agfa-Gevaert Japan, Ltd. Also supplied with the printer are the TrueType screen
fonts for 137 font solution and Canon Font Manager for easy management of installed
fonts in Microsoft
