Coupled with a host of energy saving functions and optional accessories such as Duplex Unit and Auto Paper Feeder, imageclass LBP8100n can further expand its capability and meet the demands of high volume printing. High Print Speed and Quality for Quick Handling of Massive Printing The printer also features Canon s proprietary On-Demand Fixing technology which uses a ceramic heater to speed up heat transfer and reduce warm up time, allowing quick printing while achieving energy efficiency with a significant reduction in power consumption. As a result, the printer offers a quick first print out time in just 9.3s. UFR II Technology for Fast and Efficient Printing imageclass LBP8100n incorporates Canon s proprietary Ultra Fast Rendering Technology (UFR II) for efficient printing by offloading some of the data processing tasks, such as the processing of images and half-tone graphics to the computer, taking full advantage of the computer s constantly evolving processing speed and operating system performance. The processed data will then be highly compressed, resulting in a much smaller graphical file that dramatically reduces the printer s

DU-D1 Duplex Unit can be installed to enable printing documents on both sides of paper without the hassle to flip over the paper manually.
