TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS

Quieter Operation

 The Drive Unit is sealed to reduce drive noise.

 High-frequency noise is reduced from the LSU polygon mirror due to its smaller size.

LSU
Small diameter polygon mirror

Low Energy Consumption

 Embedded Low Energy Consumption ASIC that manages network response when in
sleep.
 Achieves 1W power consumption in sleep mode when set.

New Type Drum

The New Type Drum is an a-Si MS (Mega Surface) Photoconductor

It features a New Carbon Surface Layer that provides the following:

 Increased hardness
 Reduces abrasion
 Prevents an uneven surface

Simplified Jam Clearance and Simplified Paper Transport

The Paper transport path consists of the paper feed section from the right side and paper exit at
the left side.

 If a paper jam occurs in the main body, it can be cleared by opening the right cover. It is
not necessary to release the Finisher to clear a jam.
 The job separator is standard with the finisher. The paper path is shorter after the fuser
section.
