Introduction

The magicolor®2450 is an ultra-compact color laser printer that delivers

the best graphical performance in its class. Fast and with superb print

quality, its power gives it wide-ranging compatibility.

As the magicolor 2450 demonstrates, size is no indication of strength.

Taking up little space on a desk, it prints at 20 ppm black-&-white and

five ppm color, with first page print-out in just 12 seconds. This power is

delivered by means of a next-generation Emperon®controller which

provides excellent compatibility and versatility for printing from any

major application and environment.

For superb color printing, this PostScript®- and PCL®-compatible laser

delivers 9600 x 600 dpi-class resolution. When combined with Simitri®

polymerized toner and eAIDC (enhanced Automatic Image Density

Control) results in photo-quality prints that have to be seen to be

believed.

Premium color for power users with easy operation for the novice, the

magicolor 2450 is ideal for the demanding, graphics-intense workloads of

small to medium-sized businesses and business workgroups.

laser dynamo takes up much less room on a desktop than its nearest

competitor, making it perfect for the space-compromised environment.

Like other magicolor 2400 models, the magicolor 2450 has simple, full-

front access for reloading supplies and clearing paper jams, so there's

no need to waste desk space to access the back of the machine.

Besides its affordable price, the magicolor 2450 boasts a cost per page

of only pennies per print in both color and black and white, making it

budget-friendly for the small business and home office user.

Long-lasting toner yields 1,500 or 4,500

prints for low cost-per-page printing.
