Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Canon LBP-810 Laser Printer.

This chapter introduces you to the printer and explains its features.

Chapter 1

Your new laser printer has many advanced features, including the CAPT

(Canon Advanced Printing Technology). The CAPT gives you instant access to printer information.

The LBP-810 offers outstanding print quality, flexible paper handling, energy-efficient printing, and trouble-free operation.

Introduction 1

Printer Features

The LBP-810 combines the following features to form a versatile printing system:

Quick startup

The printer is ready to print in less than 8 seconds after it is turned on

(start-up time), and has a first print time of less than 18 seconds. This means that you can print documents quickly and efficiently.

Impressive output

Thanks to the CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology), the 600 dpi resolution gives you crisp, clean, laser-sharp output at 8 pages per minute.

Low power consumption

The printer comes with an efficient power management system. Power consumption is very low, particularly when idle.

Stylish, compact design

The printer provides compact, lightweight, easy-to-use functionality in a smooth, stylish design. The small footprint gives you more work space to help you meet your needs.

CAPT Printing Software

The CAPT is easy to install, and with it you can set custom paper sizes, overlay bitmaps on documents (for example, you can print your logo on each page), tile up to nine pages on one sheet of paper, and switch easily between complicated setups using user-defined profiles. The Status

Window gives you written and spoken feedback about your print jobs, even over a network.

Quiet operation

Its quiet operation makes this printer an ideal output device, even in an open-office environment.

Flexible paper handling

Both the multi-purpose tray (MP tray) and the manual feeding slot accept plain paper of various sizes—Legal, Letter, A4, B5, or Executive—as well as transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards and other special paper. The MP tray handles up to 125 sheets of 75 g/m

plain paper with a maximum stack height of 12.5 mm. For manual feeding, sheets are fed one at a time. Delivery can be face down (for plain paper) or face up (for all paper types).

Direct Network Connection

With the optional network adapter, you can connect directly to the

LBP-810 over a network, without having to go through a server.
