Fuji Xerox will begin sales of two new digital color multifunction machines, DocuCentre C6550 I / C5540 I, on January 14, 2005.
Both color multifunction machines, boast the highest print speed in their classNote1 at 65 ppm in monochrome and 50 ppm in color (A4 long-edge feed)Note2. Such high speeds are made possible through a newly developed hybrid tandem engine and a redesigned paper feeding process. Additionally, the machines adopt other new technologies, such as a traction drive to operate the drum, which has a large diameter even for monochrome printing.
The use of EA-HG (Emulsion Aggregation-High Grade) toner helps boost the reproducibility of subtle hues of red, blue and green, thereby enhancing image quality. Four separate VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) with 32 beams each have been incorporated in the hybrid tandem engine. Each color is scanned by the 32 beams to achieve a resolution of 2,400 dpi.
Fuji Xerox's unique NIE (Natural Image Enhancement)Note3 technology allows image dataNote4 taken from digital cameras to be automatically corrected for more natural, brighter prints. In addition to printing from a PC, it is possible to directly connect other types of media to the machine and print saved document dataNote5. Therefore, users easily print without a PC.
An image compressionNote3 feature means that multiple documents can be effectively transformed into DocuWorksNote6 or PDFNote7 format by compressing scanned text and graphics at the required compression ratio. It is also possible to print high volume color documents using a compression feature that eliminates any burden on the network.
