  • The AL-C900 has a compact footprint that will fit comfortably into any office environment.
  • The AL-C900 is capable of printer speeds of 16ppm for monochrome and 4ppm for colour. The first page is out of the machine in 14 secs for mono and 25 secs for colour.
  • Prints are high quality, the text is sharp text and curves are smooth with even tones and gradations.
  • Maintenance is simple, with easy-to-understand controls and easy access to consumables.
  • The AcuLaser C900 comes standard with a 200 sheet paper cassette. There is also an optional 500 sheet paper cassette. Using this dual paper option means prints on more than one media type can occur at the same time.
