Inexpensive Prints, Outstanding Quality

The RP 600Z is Minolta's low-cost reader-printer.  Designed primarily for microfiche applications it comes with a built-in fiche carrier for reading all type of fiche and jackets.  Compact, quiet and extremely easy-to-use, the RP 600Z is prefect for those users who need to retrieve information of off microfiche.  With its standard 12" x 12" view panel, 8 1/2" x 11" prints and the ability to handle both positive and negative film, the RP600Z is ideal for all fiche applications.   For those who only need an occasional print, there is also a power-save button that powers down the print engine's fuser unit saving energy during those non-printing periods.   The optional 16mm roll film and adapter gives the 600Z the capability to view and print images from 16mm open reel film making the 600Z a low-cost solution for both fiche and 16mm film.

The RP600Z is everything a reader-printer should be. It’s compact, so it can be placed on a desk or table wherever you need quick access to your films. It’s quiet more so than any other model in its class so it can be used in any office environment without bothering those working nearby. It’s also energy efficient. A Reader/Reader-Printer switch lets you dramatically cut energy consumption and your energy bills during those times when you don’t need to print what you’re viewing.

Prints are inexpensive, while print quality is outstanding. Minolta’s exclusive dry Micro-Toning System and world-renowned lenses combine to produce consistently crisp, clear prints with excellent contrast. Your first letter-size print appears in just 14.5 seconds. Subsequent prints are produced at the rate of 6 prints per minute, or 5 prints per minute for A4-size prints. Up to 9 prints can be printed in a single run. And the RP600Z’s zoom lens is compatible with all common COM (Computer Output Microfilm) formats.

Fiche Carrier
The RP600Z’s microfiche carrier permits viewing of microfiche, jackets and aperture cards; the upper glass opens automatically for insertion of these microforms when the carrier is pulled out. The fiche carrier can be easily moved in any direction to find the desired frame.

Zoom Lens

The RP600Z's 18-36x zoom lens provides maximum magnification ease and versatility while eliminating the need to frequently change lenses.  This lens also permits 8-1/2" x 11" (A4) viewing and printing of all common COM formats.   A zoom dial ensures quick, smooth zooming for viewing and printing at any desired magnification.  Conventional lenses with 18x, 23.5x, 29x,  41x, and 46x magnifications are also available.

Bi-modal Printing
