Toner Replenisher

Touching [Toner Replenisher] sets the machine into the auxiliary toner replenishing mode. The machine tends to exhaust the supply of toner rapidly when printing a large number of pages using an original with dark solid areas such as a photo. As a result, the printed image density will become lighter. In such a case, you can use Toner Replenisher to regain the normal image density quickly. NOTES Do not turn OFF the Power Switch or open the Front Door while the machine is replenishing toner. Toner is not replenished if the image density is sufficiently high. The toner replenishing sequence ends automatically.

4. Users Choice

The machine has been set so that the most frequently used settings are automatically selected in the initial mode. Users Choice allows you to select the default settings which are automatically selected in the initial mode according to your own needs. This saves time and effort to make extra settings when the machine is turned ON or Auto Panel Reset is activated. For more details, consult your Technical Representative.

The future of departmental copying A model of efficiency
Departmental copying used to be a time-consuming, tedious process. Original documents had to be scanned as many times as copies were needed a process that was not only slow but also could even have a harmful effect on the originals. Double-sided copies often had to be produced manually. Copies were sorted in bins so in producing big sets of documents, you were always handicapped by the limited number of bins. But in the fast-moving world of business, time is a vital commodity. And any firm that fails to keep up with competitors can easily be forced out of business. Although departmental copy jobs have not changed much over the years, the copying solutions have become increasingly efficient. The latest generation of digital departmental copiers from Minolta, the DiALTA Di450 and Di550, is just such a state-of-the-art solution. These machines not only bring a significant boost to productivity through features like scan once/copy many, multi-job function or stackless duplex, they are also fit for the future as departmental copiers. High-end paper management capabilities and high-volume monthly outputs put the Di450 and Di550 in a class of their own top-of-the-range features from mid-range machines.

Greater convenience

Large touch panel display designed for ease of use with fewer buttons or keys and helpful user support functions Useful memory recall function if more copies are required from a previously scanned original

Improved productivity

Less hassle and time wasted thanks to high-end paper management with 6,550-sheet paper capacity, up to four standard trays, optional 3,000-sheet large capacity tray, a document feeder with space for 100 originals and A3 duplex copies from any number of originals Faster, quieter copying with highspeed output (45 or 55 cpm), first copy in under four seconds, multiple copies from a single scan and timesaving advance scanning of up to five jobs Genuine high-volume copying with a maximum monthly output of up to 85,000 (Di450) or 130,000 (Di550) copies Great input versatility thanks to maximum six-way loading and up to 160 g/m2 paper

Digital benefits

How you benefit
Huge paper capacity High-speed copying Fast, high-resolution scanning
Cost benefits in network printing A model of intelligence
Desktop printing has its drawbacks in a departmental environment. The numerous stand-alone printers needed in a large department take up lots of space and consume a good deal of power. Another problem is the high cost per page of printing via a workplace printer have you ever calculated the total cost per page of a stand-alone printers consumables? Another significant cost factor is the time and effort required to administer the numerous workplace printers in a typical department in network terms an very inefficient solution, especially when you consider that low-end workplace printers rarely have much more to offer than standard functions. The future of departmental printing lies in intelligently designed and easily manageable network solutions. For example, where every workplace has access to a high-performance digital printer with a wide variety of sophisticated functions such as duplex printing, A3-format printing and professional stapling, punching or folding. Where intelligent network management software makes life easy for the network administrator. And where a firms printing bill is reduced through lower initial investment costs, power consumption and running costs per page. The DiALTA Di450 and Di550 provide an intelligent network solution to departmental printing from Minolta.

System monitoring, even on a re-mote basis, through Fiery WebStatus Fast and comprehensive help for users through Fiery WebLink Less network data transfer and faster printing thanks to numerous pre-installed Adobe and PCL fonts and Fiery Web DownLoader function to obtain additional fonts

Advantageous speed

Powerful processor for high processing speeds and 45- or 55-ppm output Significantly faster throughput thanks to RIP-while-print function which allows new documents to be processed during printing Speedier multiple-page printing because engine does not stop after each page is printed
Clear reproduction of images, graphics and text through standard PCL 5e, PCL 6 and Adobe PostScript 3 Lower costs than with stand-alone printers through printing at the cost per page of copying

Effortless operation

Compatibility with Windows or Mac environments so users can print from almost any office workstation Simpler job management via Java-enabled browser through Fiery WebTools Output management straight from the desktop with monitoring of print queues, alteration of print settings or priorities or deletion of print jobs Job Preview and Document Merging and Editing with Fiery DocBuilder, the imposition tool that enables customised print-ready documents to be created from different sources
Quality printing at lower cost
Ultra-sharp type thanks to crisp 600 dpi resolution
Sophisticated document production
Variable Data Printing, e.g. for mailings, with Fiery FreeForm, the software that reduces network traffic in printing files with lots of graphics (e.g. PowerPoint presentations), since background graphics are RIPped and transmitted once, with only the low-volume text elements transmitted page for page
Printing at the cost of copying Desktop output management Variable data printing with Fiery FreeForm
High performance in finishing A model of sophistication
Expectations are rising in document production, not least with regard to finishing functions. But in numerous departmental environments finishing is still a time-consuming, manual business with, in many cases, less than professional results. The alternative, up to now, has always been to invest in expensive external finishing systems. The Di450 and Di550 from Minolta, in contrast, have a wide range of integrated finishing functions. Documents ranging from reports or presentations to mailings and booklets can be finished off with ease. Few departmental copier-printers, for example, can offer folding functions. These machines have three so online booklet creation is now possible from every single departmental workplace. A sophisticated solution that saves time, effort and, not least, money.

Faster finishing

Synchronised finishing at full printing speed of 45 or 55 ppm so sophisticated finishing features do not affect the printing performance High productivity thanks to generous 3,250-sheet output capacity

Greater flexibility and versatility
Designed to give departmental users more choice in finishing with a unique flexibility and versatility in finishing Greater variety in folding with the high-end combination of Z-folds, inner folds and outer folds Time and effort-saving option of fully automatic online booklet creation featuring centre folding and twopoint stapling, a very unusual feature in a mid-range departmental copier-printer Possibility of permanently allocating mailbins to specific users with option of up to five output trays, another time-saving feature Huge choice of up to six different stapling positions (all four corners and twin stapling on the side and leading edges), saddle stitch and four-hole or side/leading-edge punching
Large finishing output capacity Varied folding and stapling functions Convenient mailbin finishers
Huge choice in configurations A model of diversity
The DiALTA Di450 and Di550 from Minolta are available in literally thousands of different configurations so you can choose precisely the right machine with all the fittings and features your department needs. This unmatched diversity of customised configurations highlights Minoltas principle of putting the customer first: what you want is what you get.
