Preface
Features
A number of benefits are provided by the DECcolorwriter 120ic, including the
following:
High quality color printing
Your printer allows you excellent color printing, using "drop on demand"
thermal ink jet technology. It produces a laser-like print density of up to 300 x
300 dots per inch (dpi). For monochrome printing, note that the black ink is
water-resistant.
Multimedia printing
The standard paper handling devices allow the use of a wide range of media
types and sizes: paper or transparencies single sheets (Letter, A4, Legal...),
envelopes (COM-10, DL...). The Printer Drivers are specially designed to
optimize printing using these different media.
Low cost ownership
The monochrome print head has a rechargeable system which allows you to
only change the ink cartridge, instead of changing the whole print head.
Furthermore, the DECcolorwriter 120ic Printer Driver includes an Economy
mode designed to save ink.
The DECcolorwriter 120ic has a very low power consumption (25 W - less
than a standard light bulb). This consumption is conformable to EPA
(Environment Protection Agency) norms.
Ease of use
The user-friendly driver interface and the simple operator panel make this
printer very easy to use. A Setting Up Your Printer booklet is also provided to
help you quickly install your DECcolorwriter 120ic.
