Canon introduces high quality color laser beam printer; Exceptional color quality, unsurpassed performance, innovative operating features denote new standards for color printing.LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 1996--Canon U.S.A., Inc., once again, has proven itself as the leading provider of color solutions with the introduction of the Color Laser Beam Printer 360PS. "Our goal with the C LBP LBP In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Lebanese Pound. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. 360PS is to stand above other products in the field by offering the highest quality continuous tone output, fastest speed and truest plug and play networking in the color desktop laser market," said Robert Bryson, senior vice president and general manager of Canon's Office Equipment Group. "Our market research with networked departments in large corporations, graphic designers and print-for-pay organizations confirmed this need, so the C LBP 360PS will be the clear choice for all." The C LBP 360PS utilizes a Canon-designed engine with a resolution at 600 x 600 dots-per-inch (DPI (Dots Per Inch) The measurement of the resolution of display and printing systems. A typical CRT screen provides 96 dpi, which provides 9,216 dots per square inch (96x96). Flat panel displays from 110 to 200 dpi have also been developed. ) at speeds of three pages per minute (PPM) full color and 12 PPM black and white. A built-in Fiery XJE PostScript Printer Controller, 64-bit, 100MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. with 32MB and printer-specific ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. chips were designed specifically to optimize the color printing workflow. RIP-While-Print and Continuous Printing are examples of how Canon is redefining the color printing standard. The C LBP 360PS provides the user with continuous tone output capable of reproducing 16.7 million colors. Network Capabilities Bolstered By Strong Channel The C LBP 360PS provides innovative operating features that allow users to perform job management from any workstation on the network including job accounting via spreadsheet/database and advanced spooling (Simultaneous Peripheral Operations OnLine) The overlapping of low-speed operations with normal processing. Spooling originated with mainframes in order to optimize slow operations such as reading cards and printing. and queing functionality for a high volume network environment. The Canon C LBP 360PS networking connectivity is extensive. With auto-switching protocols along with auto-sensing ports, multi-platform networks become a simple installation. The C LBP 360PS supports EtherTalk, TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and Novell IPX (Internetwork Packet EXchange) The network layer protocol in the NetWare operating system. Similar to the IP layer in TCP/IP, it contains a network address and allows messages to be routed to a different network or subnet. all at the same time. "We have an extremely knowledgeable channel of office equipment and graphic systems dealers to support this product.
