With the C9600 Series Digital Color printers, you can improve the quality of your output and increase productivity - even as you lower your expenses. These color printers are the efficient and affordable answer, especially if tabloid-size newsletters and brochures, ad layouts, large illustrations, banners or specialty media are essential parts of your business.

No more having to run down to the corporate or neighborhood copy center every time you need color documents. From postcard- to banner-size documents up to 12.9" by 47.24", you can simply print them in-house.

C9600 Series printers come with Color Matching software from OKI Printing Solutions and Auto Color Balance, to ensure that color output remains accurate and consistent from start to finish. And features like Auto Media Detect will automatically adjust the printer to your required media type.

Single Pass Color Digital technology and long-lasting, individually replaceable toner cartridges and image drums translate into fewer interventions - for increased productivity and a lower cost per page than competitive color printers and, especially, outside print-and-copy services. Further, C9600 Series color printers have a cost per black-and-white page comparable to that of most mono laser printers - so you can use them for all your business printing.

C9600 Series printers can be connected to the network (PC- or Mac -based) via a 10/100 Base-T internal print server card or an optional wireless network interface card. They also feature high speed USB v2.0 and parallel interfaces.

Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches are a new family of fixed-configuration standalone devices that provide desktop Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for entry-level enterprise, mid-market, and branch office networks. The Catalyst 2960 Series offers integrated security, including network admission control (NAC), advanced quality of service (QoS), and resiliency to deliver intelligent services for the network edge.

The Cisco EtherSwitch service modules provide Cisco modular access routers the ability to stack Cisco EtherSwitch service modules as Layer 2 switches using Cisco StackWise technology. The Cisco EtherSwitch service modules are supported by either the IP base image (formerly known as standard multilayer image (SMI)) or the IP services image (formerly known as the enhanced multilayer image (EMI)). The IP base provides Layer 2+ features, including access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), static routing, and the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). IP services provide a richer set of enterprise-class features, including Layer 2+ features and full Layer 3 routing (IP unicast routing, IP multicast routing, and fallback bridging). To distinguish it from the Layer 2+ static routing and RIP, IP services include protocols such as the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol.
