Boca Raton, Florida-based Siemens Nixdorf Printing Systems has added a model 300 – the 300 refers to the dots per inch resolution – to its 2090, 2140 and 2240 range of printers. Siemens claims that this is the first time that 300 dpi has been available for printing in continuous forms and offers 56% more print elements per square inch than rival Intelligent Print Data Stream printers. The 2090 model 300 will print continuous forms at 100 pages per minute in landscape mode and 154 pages per minute in two-across, portrait mode; the 2140, 135 page-per-minute in landscape and 210ppm in portrait; and the 2240, 244 pages per minute in landscape and 377 in portrait mode. The new printers make use of Siemens’ patented Light Emitting Diode technology, claimed to give greater reliability and superior imaging. Tim Moylan, vice-president of marketing, promised future enhancements to the range: As mission critical applications change, the Siemens Nixdorf Printing Systems printers are upgradeble from low 240 dpi to high 300 dpi resolution with 600 dpi enhancements to follow, and promised that applications written for 240 by 240 dpi IPDS printers are easily upgradable to operate on the model-300s. Much of the technology necessary for 600dpi is included in the 300 series. Other features include simplified operator panels for intuitive operation and fast operator training, a mini operator panel at the stacker end to assist in paper loading and unloading, self cleaning corotrons and self-monitoring LED arrays to ensure print quality and data integrity.
