ComColor FW5000 is the right choice for low-cost, on-demand full color printing. Superb high-speed output combines with outstanding flexibility for cost-efficient in-house printing. It also goes easy on the environment, thanks to its energy-saving features and low power consumption.
With a print speed of 90 ppm, duplex scanning and a rich feature set, the ComColor FW5000 brings a new level of productivity to any workplace. Thanks to high-precision paper-feed control, the ComColor FW5000 prints at the same speed for both simplex and duplex documents to boost productivity. The responsive first print time of only 5 seconds means less waiting for both short print runs and high-volume jobs. The optional one-pass duplex scanner drastically enhances processing speed for scanning. You can load up to 200 sheets for quick scanning and copying of large documents.
The easy to use and intuitive user interface of ComColor FW5000 makes anyone a master of efficiency. An easy-to-view touch panel with instantly recognizable color icons makes printer operation simple for anyone. The tilt panel ensures excellent viewing at any angle up to 90 degrees, expanding installation flexibility. Scan preview windows show scanned images before saving data, ensuring fewer scan failures. For added convenience when printing and copying, frequently used functions can be saved as Favorites.
The compact print head and tray-free design make for a device 33% slimmer than previous models, allowing installation of ComColor FW5231 almost anywhere. Two paper-feed trays are easily accessible and hold 500 sheets each of plain paper or recycled paper (85 gsm (23-lb bond)), while the standard tray handles 1 ,000 sheets. This equals a paper capacity of 2,000 sheets within the slimmest framework yet. The modest footprint of an FW is the ideal choice when space is at a premium.
The optional PS kit supports a variety of operating systems, and PDF files can be printed directly from USB flash drives, while RISO Print-S application allows printing from smart devices. ComColor FW5000 offers reliable support for any work environment.
New features allow you to automatically power the machine on and off at specified times. Up to 10 sets of combinations of start or end time and day of the week can be registered. Users can also set when the printer enters Sleep Mode after the last print job, further decreasing power consumption. This mode keeps power consumption to a miniscule 4W, further enhancing savings on electricity bills. All ComColor machines are ENERGY STAR® certified, and boast many other energy-efficient innovations.
ComColor Standard - RISO's original color profile - accurately controls the amount of ink ejected from the print head depending on document type and media. This maintains image quality and optimizes ink usage, ultimately lowering operating costs. Short print runs can now be performed inexpensively and efficiently in-house. FW5000 also supports variable-data printing, eliminating the need for pre-printed stock.
Stable paper feeding ensures the reliable performance necessary for high-speed printing. Paper-feed speed is intelligently controlled, according to how much ink is emitted from the print head. Multiple sensors help ensure high levels of reliability. Instant-drying ink complements the high-speed, duplex printing capability. This specially developed, oil-based ink is also fade-resistant and water-resistant, and minimizes paper curling.
The optional Scanner HS7000 can save scanned data over the network to a PC, as an attachment to e-mail, or onto a hard disk of a networked RISO machine. Multi-page documents can be saved in PDF format as either separate files or combined into one file. Documents can be saved as PDF, TIFF, JPEG and PDF/A (suitable for long-term storage) formats.
The FW series runs on a standard 110V outlet, making it usable just about anywhere. The FW5000 delivers high performance in a fraction of the space required by other printers.
