Ultra high-speed output
A maximum print speed of 150 ppm gets you to the end of even the longest print job in an astonishingly short time, taking less than seven minutes to print 1,000 pages.
Lightweight, front loading print drums

Easy ink setting
Changing the ink bottle is also quick and easy with front panel access: simply insert the ink bottle and twist into place.
Slide-out master unit
The side-mounted master unit slides out like a drawer for fast, simple replacement of the master roll. Just remove the old one and drop a fresh one into place, and you're ready to go.
MZ 7700 Operation Panel
The large, bright screen was developed to provide clear, at-a-glance viewing of functions, and even a preview of how your document will look after printing. Menus are logically grouped: simply step through the various function menus displayed on the touchpanel until you reach the one you want. Better still, you can even place your most-frequently used functions on the top screen and customize the panel layout.
'Easy 2-color' for simplified master-making
The MZ 7 series features 'easy 2-color'-a process that not only makes it easy to create 2-color masters, you even get a choice of how to do it so you can select the method that's easiest for you or most suitable for any particular print job.

With the RISO Editor, you can quickly and directly specify which areas should be in which of the two colors, and even move individual blocks of text, photos or illustrations for precise placement to enhance the look of your finished document.
Preview mode
With preview, you can view your document on the touchpanel exactly as it will appear when printed, giving you the opportunity for a final check to ensure it is precisely how you want it.
Line/photo/duo/pencil modes
Select from line, photo, duo or pencil modes. Line mode is best for text-only documents, photo mode is better for photos or illustrations, duo mode gives the best results for documents that are a mix of text and photos, while pencil mode is optimized for illustrations that are drawn in pencil.
A choice ofthree photo modes
Standard mode is the basic setting designed to give excellent results with the majority of photographs.
Portrait mode
Portrait mode is optimized to give clear gradations of skin tones, resulting in superbly lifelike output.
Group photo mode
This mode uses a special algorithm to clearly show faces in group photos, so subjects can easily pick themselves out.
Pencil mode
Often, illustrations drawn in pencil fail to scan cleanly. Pencil mode is optimized to clearly scan and print such illustrations to assure you of superb results.
Overlay
If you wish to print a letterhead on a document, simply recall the data and it is then automatically overlaid on the master at the same time as the scanned document.
