The development of a 1,200 dpi self-scanning LED together with a dedicated ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) has overcome the issues presented by conventional LED print heads, claims Fuji, and also has realized high resolution. The Imaging Society of Japan, in presenting the award, recognized the contribution of Fuji Xerox’s LED print head to the advancement of electrophotographic technology.
Fuji Xerox first incorporated this LED print head in four models of its full-color digital multifunction devices launched in November 2007 (ApeosPort-III C3300 / C2200, DocuCentre-III C3300 / C2200), and later in key products such as the color printer DocuPrint C2250 as well as the full-color digital multifunction devices ApeosPort-III C3305 and C2205 launched in November 2008.
