With the ability to scan and print at true 600 x 600 dpi and 256-level grayscale In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in support, both units deliver 1200 x 600 interpolated interpolated /in·ter·po·lat·ed/ (in-ter´po-la?ted) inserted between other elements or parts. dpi resolution for copy and 2400 x 600 interpolated dpi resolution for print, ensuring the most faithful reproduction of continuous-tone and halftone In printing, the simulation of a continuous-tone image (shaded drawing, photograph) with dots. All printing processes, except for Cycolor, print dots. In photographically generated halftones, a camera shoots the image through a halftone screen, creating smaller dots for lighter areas and images available and printing clear, crisp text. The imageRUNNER 1600 and 2000 are intended to serve as the primary output device for small businesses and small workgroups in large corporations that need a copy/printer multifunction device. The print engines of both units can support impressive monthly print volumes of up to 50,000 impressions, although environments averaging between 1,500 - 15,000 monthly impressions are optimum. The imageRUNNER 2000 is designed for slightly larger and busier workgroups where faster speed and additional standard paper supply is required. Operating at 20 cpm/ppm, the imageRUNNER 2000 is most appropriate for situations where multiple connected users need a device that can handle remote printing as well as walk-up copying needs.
