Versatile,
digital LED A3 Colour multifunctional printers deliver fast print
speeds and reliable performance for businesses of all sizes
OKI Europe Ltd
today launched a new range of A3 smart multifunction printers (MFPs)
with intelligent, user-friendly features and enhanced functionality. These powerful, smart MFPs provide
additional levels of business productivity through sXP1 (smart
Extendable Platform), OKI’s embedded open platform offering enhanced
workflow integration and document management across the business.
Backed by OKI Europe’s 3 year extended warranty, the MC853 and MC873
smart MFPs offer the reliability of OKI’s pioneering digital LED print
technology with the added functionality and performance of more costly
and complex copier-based devices, making them a perfect, cost-effective
alternative. The devices are well-suited to small-to-medium-sized
businesses, as well as departments within larger organisations.
“Easy-to-use
with fast print speeds, the new MC800 Series is an all-in-one solution
to a wide variety of business needs,” says Tetsuya Kuri, vice president
product marketing, EMEA, OKI Europe Ltd. “A sleek new design,
user-friendly features and embedded sXP make these new devices ideal for
taking control of document intensive processes within small to medium
workgroups. In addition, they are perfect for supporting day-to-day
colour and mono A3 and A4 print requirements for a broad range of
businesses and industry sectors.”
The
new ergonomic design includes a customisable touch screen panel with a
lift-up mechanism which moves with the device, making it easy for users
to follow the menu screen. Businesses can programme their own popular
print and copy jobs as individual function commands. The user-friendly
smart MFPs also feature a comprehensive guided help function, two output
bins and convenience stapling as standard.
With
print speeds of up to 35 pages per minute (ppm) and scan speeds of 50
impressions per minute (ipm), together with OKI’s A3 LED scanner, the
smart MFP delivers fast, efficient performance. All models are Google Cloud Print ready and AirPrint2 ready. Additionally document intensive office tasks are made more agile with ABBYY FineReader Sprint OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) software, a downloadable PC/Mac desktop
application that is available free of charge to OKI smart MFP customers.
This powerful software enables users to quickly and easily convert
paper documents, as well as PDF files and images, into editable and
searchable text in 190 different languages.
A
recent IDC white paper, sponsored by OKI Europe, highlights that 66% of
European SMBs value the ability to automate business processes and
access documents from a single location. The MC853 and MC873 address
this specific requirement. These smart MFPs have sXP, OKI’s open API,
enabling them to connect with powerful software for seamless document
workflow integration ensuring these MFPs are well-suited to a range of
industries, including schools and financial institutes.
The MC853 and MC873 can be used to manage documents with SENDYS Explorer LITE,
a server based software available to OKI smart MFP customers at no
additional cost and offers users the ability to capture documents from
various sources and convert, distribute or upload them to a chosen
location, providing greater flexibility to edit, access, print, retrieve
and share files.
The
new MC800 Series is integrated circuit (IC) smart card reader ready for
flexible user management, secure printing and managing print jobs. Fax
is included as standard and OKI’s three-year warranty is offered at no
extra cost when the product is registered within 30 days of purchase.
“Today’s
organisations need intelligent, reliable devices that offer the
flexibility to manage a range of different tasks” adds Kuri. “The new
MC800 Series of smart MFPs enable SMBs to really take control of their
document workflow and support a broad spectrum of business
requirements.”
1 sXP
compatible with MC800 Series will be available later this year. MC853
and MC873 MFPs purchased prior to the availability of sXP can still take
advantage of all the benefits sXP can offer through a very simple end
user firmware upgrade.
