KEY FEATURES
Excellent Colour Performance
An A3-Plus colour printer operating at 4 pages per minute in full colour, 8 pages per minute in spot colour and 16 ppm in mono in A4, and a workload of up to 12,000 pages per month (50/50 mix mono and colour pages), the T8204 range provides business with excellent performance in both colour and monochrome printing.

Powerful controller
Processing complex graphics in full colour requires power and the T8204 is fitted with the most advanced and capable controller, with a fast 150 Mhz processor, to deliver vibrant and precise colour in photo-realistic quality up to 1200 dpi.

The "RIP once print many" feature, using available RAM or the internal hard disk, saves valuable time and reduces network traffic.

With PostScript and PCL on board as standard and memory upgrades of up to 384Mb these printers can be used with all leading office and graphic design software packages.

Equipped for work-group printing
The T8204 range is equipped with a full complement of interfaces as standard including Ethernet, providing work-group access and connection to LAN, MAC and most computing platforms.

Diverse media handling
Full colour output on a range of media up to A3 Plus cut sheet plain paper, thick stock up to 220gsm, envelopes and even manual duplexing are handled without difficulty, fed from one of the two input bins provided as standard. A 3 draw optional input feeder can be installed to provide a wide range of media to be available across the work group.

Easy to use
Common to the T8104 range, the T8204 and Plus printers incorporate many advanced features to manage all aspects

of printing. ICC, QColor and PANTONE Color simulation provide industry standard colour matching capability, whilst

the ability to manage and monitor printer operation over the network via a web browser all contribute to making these printers easy to use. A special audit and accounting feature enables cost control and job costing to be managed automatically. This is standard on the T8204Plus and requires the optional hard disk on the T8204.
