Additional Media Guidelines for InfoPrint Color 1824 Follow the media guidelines below for successful printing: Paper
Recycled paper As an environmentally conscious company, InfoPrint Solutions Company supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. The following property guidelines apply to recycled paper.
Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (<60 gsm / 16 lb bond) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils / 0.1 mm), and paper that is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending resistance than is required for reliable paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for laser (electrophotographic) printing, consult your paper supplier. Remember that these are general guidelines only and that paper meeting these guidelines may still cause paper feeding problems. Unacceptable paper The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
Envelopes
Transparencies
Labels Labels should be selected using guidelines found in the User's Reference, Complete Printer Reference, or the Cardstock and Label, and tested for acceptability. Note: VINYL AND POLYESTER LABELS ARE NOT SUPPORTED. Print Quality General Statement During the life of the printer, components are subject to wear based on usage. Printers continuously operating at or near the maximum duty cycle may require service for replacement of these components to ensure high quality printing and good performance throughout the life of the printer. Replacement is recommended every 30,000 pages for the Imaging Unit. Automatic Calibration The printer performs an automatic calibration under the following conditions: 1. at power on, 2. after 8 hours of Power Saver, 3. every 500 pages, or 4. after changing a print cartridge. A manual calibration can be initiated from the Op Panel. Resolution The following resolutions are available:
Op Panel Menu Lockout An administrator may apply a PIN number to protect the administration menus available through the printer operator panel. The following top-level menus can be protected using the feature:
Color Correction Settings The InfoPrint Color 1824 will offer the following color correction settings: Auto (default) Applies different color correction to each object on the printed page depending upon the type of object and how the color for each object is specified. Off No color correction is implemented. Manual Allows users to customize color correction output from Drivers or the Op Panel. "Auto/default" Color Correction Setting Incoming Color Format Color Correction Output "Manual" Color Correction Output Op Panel Selections Incoming Note: # Default setting. Note: (1) US CMYK is default for low volt printers, Euro CMYK is default for high volt printers. "Manual" Color Correction Output Selection Definitions Vivid Applies a color correction algorithm that produces brighter, more saturated colors. sRGB Display Applies color correction to produce output that approximates the colors displayed on a computer monitor. sRGB Vivid Increased color saturation for the sRGB Display color correction. Display - True Black Applies color conversion table to produce output that approximates the colors displayed on a computer monitor using only black toner for neutral gray colors. RGB Off No color correction is implemented. US CMYK Applies color correction to approximate SWOP color output. Vivid CMYK Increased color saturation for the US CMYK color correction. CMYK Off No color correction is implemented. Euro CMYK Applies color correction to approximate EuroScale color output: Op Color Balance Control InfoPrint Color 1824 offers a Color Balance Control. It is a color correction option that allows the user to increase or decrease the amount of toner going to the page individually for the cyan, magenta, yellow and black color planes. The scale for the adjustments is +5 to -5. RGB Brightness/Contrast/Saturation An RGB Hue Color Adjustment will be available on this printer. ColorSaver Mode InfoPrint Color 1824 will offer a ColorSaver Mode that allows end users to print images and graphics lighter. Text will print at Toner Darkness "4", while images and graphics print at Toner Darkness "1". The ColorSaver Mode is located on the Op panel and may be selected from the Drivers. Coverage Estimator The Coverage Estimator is designed to give the user an approximation of percent coverage per color when printing a composite color document. The estimation of coverage can be used to calculate an approximate cost of any given document if yield and coverage are assumed to be linear and inversely related. This tool should allow customers to discover for themselves that printing color documents on color laser printers is frequently an economical way to create these documents. Furthermore, they can discover that many black and white documents can be improved for a nominal increase in cost. The Coverage Estimator allows end users to estimate the percent coverage of cyan, magenta, yellow and black for a print job. The estimates will be printed on a report page following the job. The Coverage Estimator is available from the Op Panel. The Coverage Estimator is intended to only estimate the coverage on a given page. For all toner colors that are used, the minimum percentage reported will be two percent. Reported values may vary from printer to printer. The accuracy of the estimates may be affected by the fullness of the print cartridges, environmental conditions, media type, application, application settings, driver, driver settings, and the content of the page. InfoPrint Solutions Company makes no claim as to the accuracy of the estimated percents. Color Samples To assist users in selecting the colors to be printed, they can print color samples pages for each of the RGB and CMYK color conversion tables used in the printer. The color samples pages consist of a series of colored boxes along with the RGB or CMYK combination that creates the color observed for each particular box. These pages can be useful in helping users decide which RGB or CMYK combinations to use in their software applications to create the desired printed color output. Enhance Fine Lines The printer offers this feature via the Op Panel or Host Based drivers. In this feature, setting this option to TRUE has the effect of more faithfully representing fine detail in jobs, such as fine lines in CAD drawings. The default is false. Data Streams
