Introduction
The VarioPrint 6000 line is a series of high-volume, cut-sheet printers. The printers are intended
both for document printing and stream printing.
The key feature of the machine is the Gemini Instant Duplex Technology. This technology enables
the machine to print the front side and back side of a sheet at the same time. Depending on your
version, the sustained print speed, including reconditioning, ranges from 182 to 221 to 272 to 328
images per minute when you print a 2-sided A4 document. For a 2-sided Letter document the
sustained print speed ranges from 177 to 216 to 266 to 320 images per minute.
The print speed for 1-sided A4 documents ranges from 127 images per minute to 164 images per
minute. For 1-sided Letter documents the print speed ranges from 124 images per minute to 160
images per minute.
