Barcode Printer Selection Guide

The color laser integrated machine is a new product that has only appeared in recent years. In particular, the desktop color laser integrated machine has only begun to emerge in 2005. Therefore, only a few manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, Epson, OKI and Fuji Xerox are currently introducing such products. Among them, there are only the top three desktop color laser products, and Fuji Xerox products are closer to the expensive color digital copiers. Because there are few manufacturers at present, the model of the color laser integrated machine products is also less, the room for the user's choice is not big, we can lock the purchase object according to one's own application need when purchasing.

printing speed

The current color laser machine is divided into one imaging print and four imaging prints. The all-in-ones using four imaging techniques are mostly low-end products. Such an all-in-one camera uses only one laser emitter (or LED array group) and one photosensitive drum. When printing a color document, since the colors are formed by the overlap of the toners of the four colors C, M, Y, and K in the integrated machine, four laser irradiations and carbon adsorption must be performed during the printing process. The powder process can be transferred to paper for final fixing. Therefore, the all-in-one imaging technology of the four-time imaging technology is only one quarter of the speed of printing a black-and-white document when printing a color document. The current color laser machine mostly uses four imaging technologies, and only reaches the entry-level level in the color laser printing process.

The color laser all-in-one with one-time imaging technology has four laser emitters (or LED array groups) and four photosensitive drums (below), four laser emitters and four sensors when printing color documents or images. The drum performs laser irradiation and adsorption of toner at the same time, and then the image is once transferred to the paper for fixing output. Undoubtedly, the color laser integrated machine adopting an imaging technology has a great advantage in printing speed. In addition, due to the relatively low cost of LED imaging systems, all-in-ones using LED imaging technology have adopted a single imaging technology, such as OKI's color laser all-in-one, and its printing speed is much faster than that of other color lasers. .

Volume and function

The reason why the MFP is popular is that, besides its full-featured functions, the more important reason is that it takes up less space. Color laser machine is mainly aimed at business users, and most of these users have more stringent requirements on product volume. However, with regard to the several color laser MFPs currently on the market, their volume is still slightly larger. Usually a color laser machine has occupied most of the space of a desk. . Under the present technical conditions, the downsizing of the color laser MFP is not an easy task. Therefore, the color laser integrated machine needs to compensate for the lack of volume in terms of design and function. If detachable modular design is adopted, more complete functions such as fax and network printing are integrated in the integrated machine as far as possible, and automatic paper feeders and the like are provided, so as to obtain better space and cost-effectiveness.

In addition, whether the design of the color laser machine is user-friendly, whether the operation is convenient, whether the replacement of the toner cartridge is convenient, whether the cost of the consumables is economical, etc. is also something we need to consider when purchasing. If the toner cartridge is easy to replace, it is even easier for users to add toner themselves, which helps the company to reduce the cost of use. For the sake of environmental protection, there are many toner cartridges for color lasers that are designed with toner addition holes. Users can add toner according to their own needs. Some color lasers (such as the EPSON CX11N) can also make business cards and badges, which provides convenience for companies and companies. If you choose a color laser machine with a card reader, this also provides a convenient way to do color photo output in the future. In addition, the machine supports what paper media is printed (the more the paper media is supported, the wider the range of use); what management and application software the machine comes with, which functions can be achieved, must be understood clearly before purchase.
