Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What performance advantage does the Aficio 180 offer compared to the Aficio 150?
  The Aficio 180 features an accelerated engine configuration that increases copy and print speeds up to 18 pages per minute on standard letter media (up from 15 ppm on the Aficio 150), allowing small workgroups to process document runs more efficiently.
• Can the base Aficio 180 function as a standalone office printer?
  No. Out of the box, the base configuration functions strictly as a walk-up digital desktop copier. To use it as a computer printer, you must purchase and integrate the optional internal print controller board kit, which equips the chassis with a standard data interface port to receive electronic print commands.
• What advantage does the split toner and drum design offer my operating budget?
  Unlike consumer multi-function machines that rely on expensive all-in-one cartridges, the Aficio 180 utilizes a professional split component setup. You only change out the Type 1150D black toner container when ink is depleted, leaving the long-life photoconductor drum unit undisturbed for its maximum operational cycle to lower overall page maintenance costs.
