Basic Specifications

Resolution

Scanner TPH 600 x 600dpi （ RZ3/5: 300 x 600dpi) 600e-dpi x 600 （ Same as RZ3/5 ）

Effect of 600x600dpi Scanning 1. Effective for Link-print

Scanning speed is also twice as fast  Faster Link-print •

2. Not as effective for master-making

Since the scanned data is converted to 600e, there is not much difference compared with the RZ3&5. But the quality of the scanner –lens itself is better, so photo or half-tone images can be reproduced more precisely.

Other Paper-feeding Information   

“Extended-paper” mode

（ 1 paper / 2 drum rotations ）   You can print on paper with a length of 21.9“ by storing the paper as a “custom-size-paper” (555mm) maximum , from the panel.

When printing on a paper 17.2“( 436mm) long (or longer) , the machine will automatically switch to “Extended-paper mode”.

Interval print

 Useful when you want to gain more time to dry ink. You can specify the paper-feed interval (number of free drum-rotations) from 1 to 10 rotations.

Drum 1 is recommended for single-color printing

  Less paper-size restrictions. Quicker master-making time .

Set your most frequently used drum to Drum 1.
