Advanced Document Processing The magicolor 5440 DL’s driver offers a means of activating additional document handling functions, including: Printer-based electronic collation Watermarks N-up printing Instead of transmitting a multiple page print job several times over the network to get the number of “copies” required, simply select the copy count in the magicolor 5440’s driver and send the job once.
Consumables Intelligent supplies...it’s a new concept in printing...and the magicolor 5440 DL’s got it! Intelligent, User-Replaceable Consumables Cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) all-in-one toner Transfer belt Waste toner box The magicolor 5440 DL uses four (CMYK) all-in-one cartridges that include toner and OPC in one easy to install, easy to store unit.
Consumable Yields Consumable yields are expressed as a number of letter/A4 pages @ 5% coverage. Actual consumable life depends on variables such as page coverage, page size, media type, continuous or intermittent printing, duplexing, number of color planes, ambient temperature, and humidity. The magicolor 5440 DL includes starter cartridges that hold enough toner for an average of 3,000 prints (5% coverage, letter-size, continuous printing).
Supplies Monitoring The magicolor 5440 DL uses its intelligent all-in-one cartridges to communicate remaining supply levels to consumers. With a smart tracking chip installed, it accurately measures remaining toner and displays its findings in four locations (see below) for evaluation. This feature is both practical and convenient as it helps a user determine if there is enough toner remaining to complete job.
For individuals who do not sit near the printer, PageScope Web Connection offers a convenient way to review supply levels. Simply type in the magicolor 5440 DL’s Internet Protocol (IP) address into the address field of any Web browser. PageScope Web Connection offers a snapshot of this and other printer information, including print job status and the printer’s current configuration. PageScope Web Connection lets you review supply levels from the convenience of your desktop.
Printer Management All the tools for printer management conveniently located on your desktop. The magicolor 5440 DL offers a number of convenient tools for printer control that are included on a Software Utilities and Documentation CDROM shipped with the printer. Printer drivers for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux Status Display PageScope Web Connection Electronic Documentation The CD, in itself, is also convenient.
The magicolor 5440 DL driver for Windows features a tabbed layout that conforms to Microsoft standards, making it very simple to understand. The magicolor 5440 DL driver for Macintosh offers easy-to-navigate drop-down selections.
Status Display The Status Display provides detailed information about the printer including current levels for consumables and explanations of any errors that may occur. This helpful utility resides as an icon on the desktop and can be activated with a simple double-click. The Status Display utility is available for Windows operating systems only. The Status Display offers an easy way to view general printer information and consumable levels.
PageScope Web Connection information is divided into three categories: System: This tab highlights the printer’s configuration, paper size and media type loaded in each installed tray, network settings, supply levels, and number of pages printed. Job: The Job tab displays information about the most recent print jobs, including the job owner, status of the print job, and number of pages printed.
Electronic Documentation Included on the Software Utilities and Documentation CD-ROM are two manuals users will find especially useful—the User’s Guide and the Installation Guide. The documentation, developed using Adobe® Acrobat, is fully searchable for locating and viewing selected criteria on screen or printing information as needed. As a CD-ROM-based tool, the electronic documentation can easily be posted on a network server for general users or network administrators to retrieve information on demand.
Camera-Direct Photo Printing USB Host Port with PictBridge Compatibility The camera-direct photo printing feature is accessed through an optional card that plugs into the controller. When added, this card activates the USB 1.1 port and direct print menu options, enabling the user to print pictures directly from a PictBridge-compatible digital camera.
Color Control Get great color without great effort. The magicolor 5440 DL is designed with the color novice in mind. The printer features an internal color matching system that automatically selects the proper color model based on the specific elements on any given page. For more professional color users, the printer supports ICC device profiles to more intricately adjust color.
Driver-based color matching selections are convenient to access and use. Fine tune output with slide-bar selections also in the driver. ICC Device Profiles For hands-on color management, nine (9) ICC color profiles are included with the magicolor 5440 DL—three for each available resolution (2400 x 600 dpi, 1200 x 600 dpi, and 600 x 600 dpi), one for each rendering method (Perceptual, Colorimetric, and Saturation).
Enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC) From day to day, and from one consumable change to the next, toner density may change, ultimately affecting color consistency. To help maintain color consistency and ensure predictable color without user intervention, the magicolor 5440 DL automatically performs enhanced Automatic Image Density Control (eAIDC).
Options & Accessories Configure the magicolor 5440 DL how you want it. The magicolor 5440 DL is flexible in design with these available options: Automatic Duplexer: The magicolor 5440 DL can perform manual duplexing by printing on one side of a page, turning it over and printing on the other side. For more convenient two-sided printing, an automatic duplexer is available. It installs on the right hand side of the printer and adds very little width the the system.
